It was probably because Manning Warwick didn't expect Madam Hughes to say such a shameless thing that he coldly rejected her, "My sister Xaviera won't accept Miss Hughes, so Madam Hughes, give up this idea!"
Zora Hughes shuddered, her body swaying like a weak willow in the wind.
She looked at Manning Warwick in disbelief, not expecting him to not only refuse, but also not give the Hughes family any face.
At this point, the guests all laughed out loud. The Hughes family really had thick skin, not only holding an apprenticeship banquet and forcing Manning Warwick to comply, but also framing the innocent Xaviera Evans. Now they wanted Manning Warwick's sister to accept Zora, only to be cruelly refused.
What a hopeless fool Madam Hughes was!
