Chapter 1553: Chapter 1533: Unleashing Her Trump Card Chapter 1553: Chapter 1533: Unleashing Her Trump Card Jacob Powell’s eyes widened in an instant, somewhat puzzled by the noble lady’s words.

She said Quinn was malicious and framed Xaviera?

During the previous fragrance competition, everyone claimed that Quinn and Linda Campbell conspired to frame Xaviera. However, he chose to believe that Quinn wouldn’t do such a thing. If Quinn was only incited by Linda, then naturally, he also believed that she wouldn’t frame Xaviera at the Mamet family banquet.

Quinn lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. Her already frail body trembled helplessly. Jacob Powell couldn’t bear to see her like this, and the little suspicion in his heart gradually dissipated.

Frowning, he retorted, “I’m Quinn’s brother, and I know her very well. She would never frame anyone! Quinn, if the Mamet family can’t tolerate you, let’s leave together!”

“Although this is Libanan and the Mamet family’s territory, our Powell daughter cannot be slandered at will! I hope Miss pays attention to her words, so as not to bring trouble to herself!”

The noble lady widened her eyes in disbelief, glanced at Yigol Mamet, and finally understood why he didn’t bother arguing. Talking to a fool was really annoying!

Jacob Powell was the kind of person who appeared smart and clever on the surface but was actually quite stupid. This was probably self-delusion!

After a long silence, the noble lady couldn’t help but sneer, “Since you trust your sister so much, I have nothing to say. When the day comes that the Powell family is ruined by Quinn, don’t regret it!”

“Shut up!” Jacob Powell’s face turned incredibly gloomy. “Which family’s daughter are you? How dare you curse the Powell family like this? Quinn, let’s go!”

Jacob Powell turned around and saw Madam Mamet standing nearby. He seemed to want to say something, but seeing everyone’s disdainful gazes, he swallowed his words and left with Quinn.

“A perfectly good banquet was disrupted by her, how unlucky!” Yigol Mamet complained.

Quinn had heard this remark, clenched her teeth, and followed Jacob Powell quickly.

After leaving, Jacob Powell couldn’t help but wonder what happened today. With so many people present, Madam Mamet was also watching. How could they just stand by and let Xaviera bully Quinn? No matter what, Quinn was Madam Mamet’s life saver, so how could she remain indifferent to this?

Just as he was about to ask, Quinn beside him started sobbing. With her head lowered and tears dripping onto the ground, she stammered, “Brother, I’m sorry I brought shame upon you.”

“I know that because of the fragrance competition, Xaviera has always disliked me. I wanted to take advantage of the banquet, when Xaviera was in a good mood, to explain the situation. But Xaviera refused to listen. In her eyes, I was no different from Linda Campbell and had framed her, almost ruining her reputation. It’s normal for her not to forgive me, and I don’t mind how she misunderstands me. But I’m afraid she’ll misunderstand you and father. She even said she would cut off ties with you. I was just too impulsive, so I said some angry words.”

Seeing his sister cry so grievously, Jacob Powell hurriedly comforted her in a soft voice, “Quinn, don’t cry. Brother knows you’re kindhearted.”

Quinn looked up, her round eyes and delicate nose reddened, her voice soft, “Brother, I didn’t mean any harm. I just didn’t want to upset you and father, so I went to explain to Xaviera. But it only deepened your misunderstanding of me. I-I’m sorry to you and father.”

Jacob Powell’s eyes were filled with affection, his voice gentle to the extreme, “Quinn, don’t apologize. This isn’t your fault.”

His heart ached. Whether Quinn was right or wrong, her intentions were good. She did it for them, for the Powell family. But Xaviera…

It was true that Xaviera was wronged during the fragrance competition, but she couldn’t blame it all on Quinn. Today, Quinn was the one who was wronged, but she didn’t say a word of accusation against Xaviera. Instead, she tried to explain for her.

Jacob Powell couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger, frowning unhappily, “How come Madam Mamet didn’t speak up for you just now? You’re her life saver, and they don’t even remember their gratitude?”

Quinn’s eyes were filled with resentment, her sharp nails almost digging into her palms.

Yes! They didn’t even remember their gratitude! Well, don’t blame her for being ruthless then!

Xaviera had pushed her into the water, causing her to soak for half an hour. She had to avenge today’s grudge, which meant she had to resort to her trump card earlier than planned!
