Chapter 1551: Chapter 1551: Harm Others Without Benefiting Oneself Chapter 1551: Chapter 1551: Harm Others Without Benefiting Oneself The scene quieted down suddenly, and a middle-aged man standing beside them spoke up, “I’ve also learned lip reading, and what Miss Powell said is roughly this.”

Quinn Powell’s face turned pale. She was trembling uncontrollably, standing alone in place, surrounded by doubting eyes.

There really was a camera, and it just happened to record that sentence. Moreover, among the guests attending the party, there were even people who knew lip reading. How could this be such a coincidence?

No! She suddenly remembered. At that time, she was standing face-to-face with Xaviera Evans. Later, Xaviera deliberately adjusted their angle, and she followed and changed her position, which caused the camera to capture those words.

It was clearly a trap set up by her!

Intense hatred for Xaviera flooded out of Quinn Powell!

This bitch Xaviera, was she actually scheming against her? On what grounds could these people doubt her? She was a noble lady in Yittaland. Even if she made a mistake, it was not their place to question!

“Miss Powell, as you said, this place belongs to the Mamet family, yet you caused a ruckus at the Mamet’s banquet and planned to frame me. I’d repeatedly warned you, but you didn’t show any signs of remorse. Considering that you are Mrs. Mamet’s life saver, I wanted to save you some face. That’s why I didn’t call the police. I hope in the future you would consider the consequences before you speak or act and not do things to harm others as well as yourself,” said Xaviera.

“Some of the words weren’t captured in the surveillance footage. I can repeat them for Miss Powell. You were showing off before me that you are Mrs. Mamet’s life saver and you threatened me that Mrs. Mamet would blame me and even nurse grievances for you. You even threatened to kick me out of the Mamet family.”

Xaviera iterated word by word, “I had reminded you to ask the Powell family whether they really wanted to call the police or not. But it seems like you were so headstrong, you insisted on calling the police. I had no choice but to pull out the surveillance footage. Now let me ask you again, are you sure you want to call the police?”

The banquet hall fell silent. Quinn Powell was surrounded by an icy enclosure, her face as hot as a flame. She was on the verge of a breakdown.

No wonder Xaviera was so confident all along. She had plotted and secretly recorded their conversation on the surveillance system. Moreover, she made sure that the pond was too shallow to drown anyone. It was clearly intentional. Why did everyone believe her?

“Miss Powell, why are you doing this?”

“I’m sure everyone has heard about the farce at the perfume competition.” An aristocratic woman in the crowd spoke, “Miss Powell tried to set up Mrs. Mamet, and the Powell family even pressured Mrs. Mamet to keep a low profile. Everyone who has seen the video knows that the contestant, Cynthia, who got threatened, is Mrs. Mamet herself!”

At this, the scene instantly became noisy.

“Did Miss Powell not know that Cynthia is Mrs. Mamet? She dared to threaten her?”

“Even though the Powell family is a noble family in Yittaland, this place is Libanan. Who dares to threaten Mrs. Mamet! If Miss Powell knew all along that Cynthia was Mrs. Mamet but still dared to threaten her, she is far too audacious!”

“The video was recorded by Mr. Armstrong who inadvertently wandered into the wrong place. At first, he posted it on social media, but somehow it got leaked and went viral. Soon after, Quinn Powell was lambasted by netizens. A few days later, Quinn Powell suddenly became Madam Mamet’s life saver. It all seems a bit odd!”

The crowd exchanged glances, suspicion evident in their eyes.

They had been in the upper class for many years, and they were all shrewd individuals. Connecting these events, they couldn’t help thinking of another possibility.

Quinn Powell’s body stiffened.

Xaviera! This bitch, with a few sentences, made everyone suspect that she had used the accident to clear her name, ruining all her plans and efforts!

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Quinn Powell drew a deep breath, “Mrs. Mamet, when I saved Mrs. Mamet, I did not know her identity. There was very little time for me to make any other considerations–”
“Miss Powell.” Xaviera grinned in a way that suggested more behind her words, “I didn’t say I had any suspicions. What are you explaining to me for?”

Quinn Powell’s heart trembled, and the suspicion in the crowd’s eyes deepened.

Xaviera spoke at a casual pace, “Miss Powell indeed saved Mrs. Mamet’s life, and we are grateful to her for this. But you must not take advantage of the good deed you’ve done and slander me at the Mamet’s banquet!”

“I don’t want to hear Miss Powell explain about the accident. I just want to know why Miss Powell wants to frame me again?” Xaviera looked cold and scoffed, “Did you think that by becoming Mrs. Mamet’s life saver, you could surpass me, the wife of Mr. Mamet, in status? That you can provoke me without any fear? Miss Powell, please explain.”
