Chapter 688: Chapter 688: The rumored Heninger Family really appeared!

Xaviera Evans nodded, and Lewis Astir sneered, “You’re worthy of competing with my student? Tracy Swift has been making ceramics independently since the age of five, and with her talents, she’s destined for success. Even if she can’t make a hollow jade ring porcelain vase now, she has me as her teacher. What do you have? Hand over the necklace immediately!”

Tobey Swift pointed at Xaviera Evans and shouted, “Mr. Astir, look, she is wearing the necklace on her neck!”

Lewis Astir, a natural connoisseur of jewelry, could tell at a glance that the necklace Xaviera Evans wore was very valuable. A greedy look filled his eyes as he shouted loudly, “So many people are watching! Don’t try to deny it!”

Yigol Mamet looked down upon them with contempt. These people were all famous porcelain masters in the industry, preaching integrity and frowning upon money, yet now, upon seeing Xaviera’s necklace, they shamelessly discarded their air of scholars.

Tracy Swift was pretentious, and Lewis Astir was just seeking fame and fishing for compliments. These hypocrites were truly disgusting.

As Lewis stroked the jade ring he was wearing, his eyes fixated on Xaviera’s necklace, “Aren’t you a daughter of a rich family? Why don’t you keep your word? If you didn’t want to give up this necklace, why did you agree to the bet in the first place?”

Xaviera looked around and asked calmly, “Why is everyone so sure that I lost when Miss Swift hasn’t produced a hollow jade ring porcelain vase either?”

Before anyone could react, Lewis Astir burst out laughing, “Ha ha ha! I’m already here, making the hollow jade ring porcelain vase is just a matter of time! With me around, how could Tracy lose?”

Tobey Swift smirked triumphantly, “I know you don’t want to admit defeat easily. If you’re capable, why don’t you invite someone from the Heninger Family, or any Imperial City porcelain family will do. You lost, stop being stubborn!”

“Let me tell you, the great Imperial City family has always been isolated from outsiders, and the people from the Heninger family have been hidden away for years. No one can go to Black Island; only my sister and people with Mr. Astir’s identity can contact the Heninger Family. And you… don’t have that ability!”

Everyone understood that Xaviera never had a chance of winning the bet. Yet, she had wagered her expensive necklace.

Yigol Mamet desperately rushed to Caleb Mamet, “Brother, why are you just standing there like a piece of wood? Your wife is being bullied! What kind of husband are you? Xaviera is going to lose her mother’s heirloom, the ‘Heart of the Rose’. How could you let that happen?”

Caleb Mamet glanced at Yigol, his eyes still calm and indifferent. As for this younger brother, he didn’t have many memories of him. Previously, every time he woke up, he thought Yigol was Jenny Green’s son, and naturally didn’t feel close to him. But now, looking at Yigol, they did seem rather similar.

Yigol kept babbling, but Caleb indifferently uttered two words, “Shut up.”

Yigol: “…” Shut me up? I’m just worried about your wife! No wonder Xaviera always says you’re a scumbag; you’re a real piece of work!

“Don’t waste time, just hand it over!” Tobey Swift lost his patience and went straight to Xaviera, trying to snatch the necklace from her neck.

At that moment, a commotion was heard outside.

“Look, who are those people?”

Everyone looked and saw several luxury cars worth millions of dollars parked at the entrance. First, a group of casually dressed bodyguards got off the cars and stood in two rows, creating a path.

“Heninger?” Someone with keen eyes noticed the word “Heninger” embroidered on the bodyguards’ clothes. This word alone revealed their identities. Was it someone from Black Island’s Heninger family?

Were the legendary Heninger family members really here?

In the crowd, Xaviera smirked. Nowadays, most bodyguards of major families dressed in suits and looked cool, but that was just for show, and they weren’t actually that tough. The Heninger family’s bodyguards, on the other hand, were really skilled. They dressed lightly, so they wouldn’t be restricted if a fight broke out and could more easily kill enemies.

Everyone knew that the Heninger family from Black Island was a secluded family and were prominent in the porcelain industry. However, perhaps no one knew that their greatest strength was their mastery of hidden weapons and their ability to train assassins.

“The Heninger family! It’s the Heninger family!” Tobey Swift was so excited that he almost jumped.

Lewis Astir froze for a moment, not expecting the Heninger family to make an appearance with such a strong presence. He quickly craned his neck to see who was coming.
