Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Setting a Trap
Boyd Drew was about to chase after her when he was stopped by someone frowning, “Mr. Drew, Mrs. Mamet went to a private restroom. It’s not appropriate for you to go in there. Besides, Mrs. Mamet didn’t make troubles for the Drew family, so you should not make things difficult for her either.”
He paused for a moment and looked at Xaviera Evans’s back, squinting. He couldn’t believe that Xaviera was actually the renowned designer, Lohill. He feared that she’d bring out her trump card this time in design and packaging.
Now that the Mamet Corporation had lost its ace parfumer, their perfume would surely not be as good as Sally’s. They could only work hard on packaging. But no matter how beautiful the packaging was, it would be useless if the fragrance was unpleasant, customers wouldn’t buy it.
On the other side, Zora Hughes was hiding in a corner with a vengeful look in her eyes. With Caleb Mamet backing Xaviera up, it was difficult to deal with her. If one day she returned to the Hughes family, then it would be even more difficult to deal with her.
Zora quickly came up with a plan and wrote a note, which she then placed on the coffee table in the lounge.
Not long after, the regional director of Drew Corporation’s fragrance division stumbled into the lounge full of alcohol fumes. Just as he sat down, he spotted the note on the coffee table. As soon as he saw the signature, he was dumbfounded.
Xaviera? Wasn’t she Mr. Caleb Mamet’s delicate wife?
The regional director looked at the note and smirked sleazily. He didn’t expect that Mrs. Mamet would be so bold as to leave him a note in the lounge, without fearing discovery by others.
On the other side, Zora was talking with several daughters from wealthy families and happened to encounter Tobey Swift from the Swift family. Everyone gathered to gossip about Xaviera. @@novelbin@@
Zora spoke calmly, “Although Mrs. Mamet is a bit willful, the misunderstanding between her and Tracy Swift is just that – a misunderstanding. Tobey, I should remind you that the consequences will be severe if Mr. Caleb Mamet doesn’t forgive the Swift family.”
Tobey was furious, “It’s all Xaviera’s fault! My sister had good intentions to help her but ended up being framed. Now she’s been ridiculed by the entire upper class and hasn’t dared to go out for days!”
Zora’s voice was gentle, but every word further stirred the conflict. “Mrs. Mamet not only has Caleb Mamet behind her, but she is also my cousin. With the Russell family as her backer, offending her would bring misfortune to the Swift family. It could even affect your marriage.”
Upon hearing this, Tobey became even more enraged. She wished she could tear Xaviera into pieces and feed her to the dogs. Being stupid and easily manipulated by Zora, she quickly lost her senses.
She slammed her wine glass onto the table and yelled at Zora, “You’re Xaviera’s cousin! You’re no better! With people backing her up, she still thought she could threaten me? I’ll make sure she suffers!”
After her outburst, Tobey stormed off.
Instead of getting angry, Zora smiled. However, when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with worry. “The Swift family is, after all, a scholarly family. I can’t bear to watch them get implicated in this. But Miss Swift is ungrateful. Let’s forget I ever mentioned this.”
On the other side, Tobey charged into the restroom and threw a cup at Xaviera. The people outside were shocked by this sudden event.
Xaviera reacted quickly and dodged it, but her white skirt was still stained with wine.
Tobey yelled, “Xaviera! Don’t think you can threaten me. I’m not afraid of you!”
Xaviera was speechless. “…” Was this person insane?
Since the incident at the art exhibition, Xaviera thought that the Swift family would be quiet for a while. She would never bother them without cause. But today, Tobey suddenly barged into her restroom and started throwing cups at her.
Looking at the broken glass on the floor, Xaviera felt displeased. A murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but considering the crowd outside, she could only maintain a smile. “Please excuse me, I’ll change my clothes.”
People couldn’t help but feel sorry for Mrs. Mamet, who seemed too fragile. Even when Tobey came to bully her at the door, Mrs. Mamet didn’t get angry.
After Xaviera left, she was looking for an empty restroom to change her clothes. After a stroll, only Lounge 109 was left.
She hesitated at the door, recalling that Lounge 108 was also empty. How did it suddenly become occupied? It shouldn’t be possible for someone to show up at this time, right?
She had a premonition that this Lounge was deliberately reserved for her, but she wasn’t sure about the purpose.
After hesitating for a moment, Xaviera went in and took a dagger out of her bag for self-defense. She hid behind the door and waited quietly. It wasn’t long before the door opened again.
What do you think?
