Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Where Did Miss Evans Go?
Translator: 549690339
âWhy isnât Mag Evans marrying instead? Sheâs also a daughter of the Evans family.â
Rose Campbellâs face showed her displeasure: âMag is already engaged to Moore, and sheâs supposed to marry someone from the Mamet family. You donât have a boyfriend or a husband, so itâs perfect for you to marry Mr. Duke and help the Evans family out of this urgent situation. Besides, with your reputation, you wouldnât be able to marry anyway. Weâre helping you find a good match.â
Derek Evans was impatient, âMag is as pure as ice and jade, and you donât even deserve to carry her shoes. Itâs your duty to marry Mr. Duke!â
After saying that, he rudely dragged Xaviera and forcibly took her into a room, locking the door.
âYou just wait here obediently. When Mr. Duke comes later, you better behave yourself. If you dare to resist, youâll see what happens!â
Derek left a threatening remark, and swaggered away with Rose and Mag.
Xaviera glanced around the surroundings, which were not too bad, so she lay down on the bed to rest for a while and then made a phone call. âMiss Xaviera, itâs all been recorded, and the picture is very clear.â
Xaviera gave a faint smile: âVery good.â
The person on the phone shivered: âMiss XavâŠMiss Xaviera, all the attendees of Mr. Calebâs banquet are celebrities from Libanan. Please donât cause a life-threatening scene!â
Xaviera:
She helplessly said, âDonât worry, Iâll hold back.â
At the banquet downstairs, Mag pretended to be worried, âDad, knowing my sisterâs temper, she wonât agree to this. Isnât it a bit too much to force her like this?â
âMag, why do you care about her? She has never been a good person, always messing around outside. Since sheâs going to be slept with anyway, she might as well be useful and marrying Mr. Duke should be her honor!â
Rose immediately retorted, with Derek speaking gently by her side: âMag, you donât have to worry about her. Just perform well at the banquet later, and try to please the young lady from Fragrant House if you meet her.â
Rose added: âYes, Mag, the banquet today is held for the young ladies of Fragrant House. If you can get on good terms with them, it will be beneficial for the company. After Xaviera marries Mr. Duke, she will be a wealthy wife and wonât be able to go out, then she wonât disturb you anymore.â
Mag obediently nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up in a victorious smile.
She had already heard about Mr. Duke. He was an old rascal with a violent tendency. If Xaviera married him, she would definitely be tormented to death.
From now on, there would be a huge change in the lives of the sisters!
Guests were entering one after another, and the banquet was about to officially begin.
Mag was very excited. This was her first time attending such a grand event, and she felt that everything was novel and fresh.
âMr. Evans, I heard that your eldest daughter is also here, but why havenât we seen her?â
Someone asked curiously at that time. They all knew Derek Evans had two daughters and wanted to meet his rumored eldest daughter.
Albert Sullivan also asked, âMr. Evans, where did Xaviera go?â
Derek was a bit embarrassed and pretended to be helpless: âShe was here just now, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye. This child really worries me. The banquet is about to start, and I donât know where she went to fool around!â Mag hesitated to speak, âI know⊠It seems that my sister went upstairs.â Upstairs? Those were suites. What was she doing there?
Mag hesitated for a moment, looking troubled: âI saw her followingâŠno, donât get me wrong, I donât know!â
She widened her eyes, looking innocent, as if she had accidentally let something slip.
Albert approached and whispered, âMiss Evans, is there something you canât tell us?â
Speak! How can the play continue if you donât speak?
Mag looked a bit scared, her face filled with hesitation, and after a moment, she said.
âMy sister followed a man upstairs. Iâm so afraid that sheâs in danger!â
Derek also feigned worry: âMy eldest daughter has never attended such a grand banquet before. She might be in trouble. I better hurry up and find her!â
His face was filled with worry, but a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. In front of everyone, he was indeed worried about his daughter.
But as soon as everyone went upstairs, they would find Xaviera messing around with Mr. Duke. By thenâŠ.
