Madam Hughes was initially puzzled about how the apprenticeship banquet ended up like this. Seeing Xaviera Evans, she suddenly realized this little bitch must have been messing around behind the scenes, going to Manning Warwick to say something that changed his mind.
Madam Hughes stared at Xaviera menacingly, wishing she could rush up and tear the temptress's face to pieces.
How could this little bitch do such a thing! She was jealous of Zora, so she went to Warwick's face and talked nonsense. She cheated herself and tried to tarnish Zora's reputation - it was too terrible!
Nidya Hughes's face looked extremely embarrassed, distorted with anger. Why was her daughter so disgraceful, not only cheating but also ruining Zora's apprenticeship banquet out of jealousy?
