NOVPUBChapter 1329: 616 Recognize Relatives_1 Chapter 1329: 616 Recognize Relatives_1 This was indeed a historic day in Pethkids.
Digby Hart was a formidable figure controlling a massive business empire, worth several billion.
One could even regard him as a business emperor.
He had countless women throwing themselves at him, some actresses in the film industry even publicly confessed their love for him.
But Digby, like a well-disciplined, unyielding iron tree, maintained his composure without faltering to such temptations.
For years, not even a single scandal was linked to him.
But one day, Digby proposed.
...
This day was significant enough to be recorded in history.
As to who the sacred woman was, the one who managed to make the thousand-year-old iron tree bloom, it was utterly intriguing.
She was not distinguished in beauty nor did she have a bewitching figure, she had an ordinary demeanor.
Countless women at the scene couldn’t help but bristle with jealousy, wondering what distinguished her to receive Digby’s affection.
Under the dazzling lights, Isabella Foster was joyfully crying, extending her right hand.
Digby placed the engagement ring on her ring finger, the commotion was interrupted by a woman’s voice just as the ring was about to slip onto her finger.
“Hold on.”
The scene was quiet at this moment, making the voice seem particularly loud and noticeable.
Everyone turned to look, curious as to who would have the audacity to disrupt Digby Hart’s proposal.
Two young ladies entered, one pushing a wheelchair and the other sitting in one.
The voice belonged to the young lady sitting in the wheelchair.
Pethkids was neither too large nor small, and some people recognized the girl in the wheelchair, hesitatingly saying: “Isn’t that…
the fraud daughter of the Grooves?
Why is she here?”
Apparently, many also recognized Xenia Groove and instinctively looked in the direction of Aubree Groove.
Although Aubree Groove was now the Mistress of the Rintos, people still instinctively associated her with Xenia Groove.
Aubree cast a nonchalant look at Xenia Groove and Stella White, and Xenia lifted her head, looked fearlessly back at Aubree, a sense of smugness in her eyes.
She planned to reclaim everything that she had lost to Aubree by her own hands.
Upon hearing the voice, Digby, who had been in the middle of placing the ring on Nana Breezent’s finger, suddenly paused.
The next moment, he put the ring on Nana’s finger, stood up leisurely, and with a comforting pat on her shoulder, he responded to the puzzled look in Nana’s eyes.
Her eyes showed nothing but complete trust in him.
Lorcan Hart’s face was ashen as he questioned the security manager, “How did you let this happen?”
The security manager wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously: “Mr.
Hart, she was brought in by the Benz family, we couldn’t stop them.”
Digby had a business partnership with Jeremiah Benz, whose family was also invited tonight.
Who would have the nerve to stop the people brought by the Benz family?
Lorcan thought back to the bodyguard’s report half an hour ago, informing him that having taken her medication, Xenia had gone early to bed.
He had thought Xenia would presumably bribe some media and fabricate some gossips while she lacked the courage to create a scene.
To his astonishment, he had underestimated her.
She not only had the audacity to cause a ruckus but also brought help.
The Benz family really had a character.
“I’ll get them out immediately,” the security manager was about to say when he was terrified by the look on Lorcan’s face.
Expediting Xenia and her company would raise suspicion making it appear that they were guilty.
Lorcan’s gaze was fixed rigidly onto Xenia, desiring to punch a hole in her.
“Uncle,” Amos Hayes came up to Lorcan, “this Xenia Groove, I’m afraid her intentions are not good.”
He was aware of the rumors about Digby’s illegitimate daughter and had always thought them to be baseless.
But at this moment, he had a bad feeling.
Digby was a towering figure in his heart, he would not allow anyone to tarnish Digby’s reputation.
A plan formed in Lorcan’s mind as he turned to Amos, “Xenia, can you do me a favor?”
Amos Hayes nodded: “Uncle, you don’t have to say it, I naturally want to help.”
“Xenia Groove.” Amos Hayes emerged from the crowd, feigning surprise,” How did you find this place?”
As soon as Xenia saw his attitude, she knew exactly what he was up to, and naturally, she was not about to let him interfere.
“My father wants to marry me off, of course, I would come.” She looked at the man on the stage.
It had always seemed impossible for Xenia to be linked to Digby, for he was far out of her reach.
But now, she was about to become the envied Mistress of the Hart family, a position she had earned.
At that time, she would pay back all the humiliation she had suffered one by one.
The news Xenia had revealed was too substantial for anyone to process and they all stared at each other.
“I thought her birth father was unknown.
Where did her father come from?”
“Yeah, after being driven out by the Grooves family, didn’t she live with her birthmother?
I heard they are in a very bad condition.
Just look at her, she has lost so much weight within six months, she looked much better when the Grooves were taking care of her.”
“I recall the uproar about the real and fake daughters.
Looking at it now, the difference in temperament between the two of them is worlds apart.
An eagle won’t be hatched from a crow’s nest after all.
But look at Ms.
Aubree, she seems to be growing more and more elegant.”
Xenia gritted her teeth as she heard the whispers around her, her eyes moving towards Aubree.
Amos, fearing she might harm Aubree, promptly stepped in front of Xenia, blocking her view.
“I know you were very angry when I rejected your confession before.
But emotional matters can’t be forced.
Could you stop making a fuss, please?
I’ll take you out right now, and agree to whatever you want.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the wheelchair from Stella White’s hand, intending to lead Xenia away.
Xenia was so angry that her face was awry.
At this moment, Amos was still thinking about protecting Aubree.
Once she becomes the Mistress of the Harts, she will make him pay.
Stella White and Xenia had planned this for a long time, they couldn’t let Amos ruin it, she shouted, “Amos Hayes, what are you babbling about?
When did Xenia confess to you?
Stop daydreaming.
She’s here to meet her family.”
However, Amos was very efficient and within the blink of an eye, he had led Xenia out of the crowd.
Xenia gritted her teeth, jumped off the wheelchair and fell down, injuring her head and causing a commotion.
Xenia swiftly rose, tears and snot running down her face as she said, “Father, I know you don’t want to admit I’m your daughter, but you can’t deny my existence.
Is it only when I’m dead, and no one knows you have an illegitimate daughter, that you can feel completely at ease?”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll oblige you.
I’d rather die than sneak around to live.”
After a tearful outburst, Xenia suddenly lunged towards the pillar in the corner.
Cries of shock arose from around.
Stella White immediately rushed over and held onto Xenia’s waist, “Xenia, you mustn’t be so desperate.”
She suddenly turned her head to look at the man on the stage, “Mr.
Hart, are you really going to let Xenia die?
So you can fly freely with your future wife?
But she’s innocent, isn’t your conscience rebuking you for doing this?”
The words from Stella White left everyone on-site flabbergasted.
It turned out that all the rumors about Digby’s illegitimate daughter were true, and that Xenia Groove was the one.
God, this was simply unbelievable.
Among the crowd, Lexi Benz had originally thought the two were absurd.
Why had they asked her to help them get in, what on earth were they doing?
But at this moment, Lexi understood.
It turns out Xenia was Digby’s illegitimate daughter.
She was so lucky.
A sour sensation sprang up from deep within Lexi’s heart.
