Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Losing Face Completely

At this moment, Lewis Astir spoke obsequiously, “Mr. Heninger, I wonder if you still remember me?”

Quine Heninger gave him a glance, and after a brief pause, he indifferently replied, “I remember.”

That was enough for Lewis Astir, his aged face flushed with excitement, “Mr. Heninger, I’m Lewis Astir! A few years ago, when you were traveling, you gave me some guidance, so I can also be considered one of your students!”

Quine Heninger nodded expressionlessly.

Lewis Astir, suppressing his inner elation, pointed to Tracy Swift beside him, “Tracy is my student, and she has just offended you. I hope, Mr. Heninger, you won’t take offense.”

It was then that everyone realized that Quine Heninger had come for Lewis Astir. After all, he was his disciple and should be given some face.

Tobey Swift pointed at Xaviera Evans and yelled, “Did you hear that? Mr. Heninger came for Mr. Astir!”

Everyone looked at Xaviera and Yigol Mamet, only to see Xaviera raising her eyebrows, “Are you so sure that Mr. Heninger came for him?”

Tobey Swift saw that she would not admit defeat, and immediately retorted, “What else could it be? You! Don’t be so shameless! Since you agreed to the bet, you should be willing to accept defeat. Now that Mr. Heninger has arrived, you should hurry up and admit defeat. Do you want to renege on your bet?”

After a long silence, Quine Heninger suddenly hooked his lips and looked at Xaviera, “Admit defeat? You mean she has lost?”

Tracy Swift, who had initially been confident of victory, felt a sudden chill in her heart upon hearing Quine Heninger’s words. She suddenly had a bad premonition. Why would Quine ask such a question?

Could it be that Quine Heninger came for…

Impossible! She had never seen this woman in the Imperial City before. She must not be from Imperial City. Besides that, who else could invite people from the Heninger family? How could this nouveau riche with a strong smell of money invite Quine Heninger!

Tracy Swift took a deep breath to suppress her uneasiness, only to hear Quine Heninger say indifferently, “She won.”

She won? Who is she?

Tobey Swift also sensed that something was amiss, but she could not believe this fact, and incredulously asked, “Mr. Heninger, who are you saying won? My sister? You’re here to help my sister, so naturally, my sister won. There’s no doubt about that.”

“So whoever I help is the winner, right?” Quine Heninger asked expressionlessly, his brows slightly furrowed, clearly becoming impatient.

Tobey Swift quickly replied, “Of course! You are the world’s top porcelain master, and only you can create hollow jade ring porcelain vases. If you help my sister, then my sister wins this bet!”

Quine Heninger’s calm eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, which added some warmth to his cold and stern face, “It seems I am the key to determining the outcome.”

Tracy Swift clenched her fists, her palms sweaty, and her body trembling with nervousness.

The next second…

“I don’t recall ever saying that I came to help Miss Swift. You are quite presumptuous,” Quine Heninger’s eyes were full of laughter, but the smile was filled with mockery.

Tracy Swift’s eyes widened, and her face instantly turned pale, her mind buzzing. She was presumptuous? So, Quine Heninger didn’t come to help her?

It seemed that Tracy Swift suddenly realized something and subconsciously looked at Xaviera, her eyes full of hatred and viciousness. The mask of a well-bred lady instantly shattered, revealing her true face.

Then, Quine Heninger slowly walked to Xaviera’s side and, amid the silence, gently called out, “Xaviera.”

Xaviera raised her eyes and looked at Quine Heninger tenderly. Her elder brothers usually called her “Xaviera,” but now they deliberately changed the name to “Xaviera” to let everyone know that she was Quine Heninger’s sister.

Quine Heninger raised his hand to help her straighten her messy hair and, with their intimate gesture, shocked everyone present. He then smiled and said, “You were bullied and didn’t even tell your second brother.”

At this moment, everyone finally understood that Quine Heninger had come for her, not Lewis Astir or Tracy Swift.

Tracy Swift’s body went limp as she watched the scene in disbelief. She had actually lost to a nouveau riche? She had come all the way from Imperial City to Libanan for the famille rose porcelain vase, but now she has not only failed to obtain the item but also suffered a total loss of face.

“She’s actually Mr. Heninger’s sister?”

“Does that mean she’s also from the Heninger family? No wonder she agreed to the wager, as it turns out she had an absolute chance of winning!”

“This Miss is from the Heninger family yet keeps a low profile. Even when ridiculed, she didn’t easily reveal her identity. Meanwhile, Lewis Astir and Tracy Swift claimed to be good friends with the Heninger family, but it turns out they didn’t even recognize their own sister!”
