Chapter 1491 - Chapter 1491 Chapter 1491 Do You Know How to Spell Shame

Chapter 1491: Chapter 1491: Do You Know How to Spell Shame? Chapter 1491: Chapter 1491: Do You Know How to Spell Shame? Onlookers had stood by for a long time, grasping the whole sequence of events. In plain words, Madam Powell did not like this granddaughter of hers who had drifted away, so she was quick to declare Xaviera Evans was in the wrong. Now that they had learned it was all a misunderstanding, she was playing the senior figure by forcing Xaviera to forgive her.

The person who had spoken earlier repeated his disdain: “Some people think they can pressure the younger generation into forgiveness just because they’re older. Even with age, they’re still full of craft and cunning!”

At that, Robert Powell stifled his breath, his face turning an ashen color as he gritted his teeth. He had never been so humiliated in his life before. In this instance, he didn’t want to utter a single word. As he tried to lead Madam Powell away, she stood frigidly in place, shooting Xaviera a foul look.

Xaviera looked up and met her gaze, remaining unfazed.

Years ago, Madam Powell had come to Libanan once and had a meal at the Fragrant House. It had been a long time since then, and she still remembered the food at the Fragrant House. Now that she was back at the Fragrant House, she certainly was not content with being denied the meal she had longed for.

Madam Powell snapped away from Robert, boldly declaring, “Xaviera, I am your biological grandmother. Since you’ve booked a room at the Fragrant House, let us have it!”

Everyone went quiet, shocked yet again by Madam Powell’s bare-faced audacity. After a few seconds of silence, Xaviera chuckled lightly, “Madam Powell, you want my room?”

“Is that not allowed? We’re meeting for the first time, and you did not prepare a gift, so I want this room. That’s not too over-the-top, right?” Madam Powell slanted her eyes at her, head high with arrogance.

Xaviera didn’t even spare her a glance. She was about to enter the door with Caleb Mamet when Madam Powell saw the situation and hurriedly shouted, “What if we share a room? After all, there are only two of you, and the room is so big. It’s big enough for us as well.”

Madam Powell was well aware that even the smallest room at the Fragrant House could seat six people. With Caleb and Xaviera dining, there’ll still be two seats left even if she and Robert join them. The remaining seats were perfect for Quinn Powell and Jacob to come too.

Xaviera frowned. Was Madam Powell truly a noble lady? How come she acted like a market shrew? Mrs. Taylor from the Brooke family, although malicious in intent, at least had the dignity a noble lady should have. She would not shout and scream.

When she met Mrs. Taylor for the first time, Xaviera had scrutinized this woman. As expected of a noble lady, her apparel was meticulously chosen. Her every gesture and action emanated elegance and nobility. She always maintained the dignity that a noble lady should have. This Madam Powell didn’t have a trace of that nobility!

Just as Xaviera was mentally criticizing her, bystanders started ridiculing: “Madam Powell, do you have no shame? It is obvious Quinn Powell offended the owner of Fragrant House. You vilified Miss Evans without knowing anything. Now that you’ve realized it was a misunderstanding, you not only refuse to apologize but also brazenly try to take over Miss Evans’ room. Do you know how to write the words ‘shame’?”

Madam Powell, who had never been humiliated in such a manner, glared at the speaker. The one who spoke was a well-dressed noble lady who coldly snorted, unafraid: “I’m speaking the truth! I’m going to say it even if you glare at me!”

At that moment, Robert’s face was burning. Madam Powell, pointing at the noble lady and then at Xaviera, started to tremble in anger. “You… you dare to disrespect me? I’m the old lady of the Powell family!”

“So what?” retorted the noblewoman standing next to the noble lady. “Madam Powell, this is Libanan, not your territory. And besides, no matter who you are, you must act reasonably. If you keep acting this way, I won’t hesitate to report the situation to the leaders of Yittaland and have them take you back.”

Madam Powell was so furious she was rolling her eyes, looking like she was about to faint any second.

Robert’s face turned beet red. He quickly apologized to the crowd and then glanced at Xaviera with a conflicted expression. He softly urged his mother, “Mother, let’s just go.”

No matter how dissatisfied Madam Powell was at that moment, she had to leave for now. If that noblewoman really reported to the leaders of Yittaland, they would be in great trouble.

Seeing the disdainful glances from the crowd, Robert quietly counseled, “Mother, those who dine at the Fragrant House are either rich or from noble families. It’s not surprising if some of them have connections to the leaders. We must not offend them. Also, we just invested in fragrances and are planning to promote them heavily. We absolutely cannot afford any negative press.”

The Powell family were aristocrats from Yittaland. On the surface, they were glamorous and had prestigious status. However, there were many people targeting them behind the scenes. Once any scandal was exposed, there would be plenty who’d seize the chance to fervently publicize it.
