NOVPUBChapter 1330: 617 Ridiculous_1 Chapter 1330: 617 Ridiculous_1 Who was Xenia Groove?
She was the fake heiress of the Grooves and had been raised in luxury, but she could never shake off the poverty-stricken air ingrained deep within her bones.
Whenever someone mentioned her, they would only sigh at her so-called good fortune; if she hadn’t been mistakenly taken in at birth, she might not even have been qualified to become a waitress here.
But what did they hear now?
She is Digby Hart’s illegitimate daughter?
This has to be the biggest joke of the century, even more ludicrous than the true/false heiress of the Grooves.
Has this woman gone mad?
...
Does she have any idea who Digby Hart is?
How dare she spread rumors about him, has she grown tired of living?
Or is it because Aubree Groove is Digby’s half-sister, she vowed to stick to Aubree for life?
One way or another, this woman must have lost her mind.
Bellona Capris furrowed her brows, subconsciously glancing at the girl next to her: “Is her…
mind not quite right?”
Birdie Capris had a proud look on her face, “As I’ve always said, a fly doesn’t sting an uncracked egg…”.
Bellona Capris glared at him, and Birdie Capris quickly shut his mouth.
This was the thought that dominated the minds of most present at that moment; this woman must have gone insane.
She probably couldn’t accept a life of poverty.
After all, it’s easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but hard to do the reverse.
In modern society, which woman doesn’t dream of marrying Digby Hart or being his daughter?
“Do you think everyone is like Ms.
Aubree, who was accepted as Mr.
Hart’s foster daughter? 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Why don’t you go home, wash up, and go to bed?
You can dream of anything there, just don’t make a fool of yourself here.”
“Ms.
Groove…
oh no, I should call you Ms.
Hayes, considering you have been kicked out of the Grooves.
You certainly have shown unwavering loyalty towards Ms.
Aubree, I’m so moved by you.”
“Why even bother speaking with her?
Just call the police directly.
This could be taken as a defamation case, right?
After all, it has seriously tarnished Mr.
Hart’s reputation.”
“I think her mind is not quite right, best to send her directly to the mental hospital…”
Various mocking voices came from all around.
The noble ladies and high society women looked down on her with contemptuous gazes.
She was now like a rat everyone wished to evade.
Xenia Groove clutched her fists.
Having taken this step forward, she absolutely couldn’t back down.
She remembered these faces.
There will come a day when they’ll regret this.
“Nineteen years ago, on the 9th of March, at the Dufield Hotel, do I need to make it any clearer?” Xenia Groove stated loudly.
Women tend to be more sensitive in these matters.
Madam Benz quickly furrowed her brows, incredulous, she covered her mouth, looking towards Digby.
Nineteen years ago, Nineteen years ago.
Digby did attend that welcome dinner that year, and it was the Benz’s assistance that he was grateful for.
Digby was a man who valued relationships, and he’s been subtly helping the Benz over the years.
Could Xenia Groove truly be…
There were people on the scene who had attended that dinner party years ago.
They started to connect the dots.
If this girl was truly insane, how could she know the details of that year?
Lorcan Hart’s face was ashen.
He signaled to Amos Hayes to remove the girl promptly.
Amos Hayes tried to grab Xenia Groove’s arm, but she pushed him away.
She was so thin yet possessed such unforeseen strength.
“Get lost, don’t touch me.”
“Dad,” Xenia Groove shouted with all her might, “I’ve done many things wrong before, I know you don’t want to acknowledge me.
I did not come today to request your forgiveness, do you know how happy I was when I found out I was your daughter?
When people insulted me for being a bastard, I could proudly say, I am not a bastard, I have a father, my father is extraordinary…”
The young lady pleaded with real feeling, her pale face was one that stimulated compassion and she had moved the hearts of many present.
At the end of the day, she was just a little girl longing for paternal love.
What were they doing bickering with a child?
“Even if you don’t wish to acknowledge me, it is my fault, I am not good enough, and I cannot be your pride.”
Xenia Groove quickly noticed Mr.
Hart in the crowd, and suddenly rushed over, “Grandpa, please forgive your granddaughter for being unable to fulfil her responsibilities towards you.”
Mr.
Hart’s face turned ashen.
He angrily glared at Digby and said sternly, “Young lady, I think you’ve got the wrong person.”
“Grandpa, I know I can’t compare with Aubree, and none of you want to acknowledge me, but I truly am a descendent of the Harts.
We can go and have a DNA identification test right now.
If it turns out that I am lying, I am willing to suffer any punishment.”
In front of so many people, Mr.
Hart had to save Digby’s face.
He would never admit her lineage publicly.
“Really?
Why is it that for over a decade, you have never once doubted your lineage, yet today, when Digby is proposing, you suddenly appear?
The timing is perfect.
Tell me, who sent you?
What benefit could ruining Digby’s reputation possibly hold for you?”
Upon Mr.
Hart’s reminder, everybody seemed to have woken up.
The timing was simply too coincidental, it was inevitably suspicious.
Did the other party have ulterior motives?
“Oh, I get it now.
You were sent by that bastard, Sadam Hayes, weren’t you?
He still can’t let go, can he?
Digby has been so good to him, yet he harbors such evil intentions.
Guards, take her away for thorough investigation.”
This time, the security staff moved swiftly and took Xenia Groove away without giving her any chance to speak.
Stella White was taken away as well.
Mr.
Hart sternly swept his eyes over everyone, “I’m sorry for the spectacle.
I will get to the bottom of this matter.
Nobody with ulterior motives should think that they can tarnish my son’s reputation.”
Everybody then realized, that even though the old Mr.
Hart usually had a cheerful demeanor, he was actually a force to be reckoned with.
The banquet soon disbanded, but tonight’s drama had stirred up a storm in the serene Pethkids.
Aubree, having sent off the Capris siblings, returned to the hotel’s lounge where the old Mr.
Hart was still pointing at Digby’s nose in anger.
Nana Breezent stood puzzled at the side, wanted to intervene but didn’t know where to begin.
“Father, please calm down.” Aubree walked over and gently patted the old Mr.
Hart’s back.
“Tell me, where did you get yourself into this mess?” the fury in the old Mr.
Hart grew as he thought about it more, brandishing his cane at Digby.Hart.
Nana Breezent suddenly rushed out to shield Digby from the blow.
She grunted, her eyes red as she fell into Digby’s arms.
Finally, a hint of panic appeared on Digby’s calm face as he held Nana Breezent.
The old Mr.
Hart quickly threw down his cane, “Call an ambulance, quick!”
“Nana, why did you take the hit for him?
This was all his due.
Why are you so foolish, child?”
Nana Breezent shook her head, staring intently at the face close before her, “Ted Hart, I want to hear you tell me, is she really your daughter?”
Digby Hart closed his eyes and heavily nodded.
The old Mr.
Hart swayed and Aubree quickly supported him.
“Oh, the sins we
