Chapter 515: The Campbell Family is Really Ridiculous!
Mr. Campbell spoke sternly: “Xaviera is right in every word. If this matter is known by outsiders, they will definitely mock the Campbell family for having no discipline. Wouldn’t it disgrace our family’s reputation?”
Mrs. Campbell still refused to accept it, “What’s there to fear? They don’t even know that Xaviera is our biological daughter. Why should we put Anna through this?”
Xaviera sneered, looking at her own biological mother, who favored Anna before her very eyes.
Is it because she had been lost outside and never received any etiquette training, while Anna was raised as a top noble lady by Mrs. Campbell, that she refused to acknowledge her own biological daughter?
Mr. Campbell spoke sharply: “Although outsiders think that Xaviera is an adopted daughter, allowing her to live in the basement, close to the servants, is this the way the Campbell family educates their children?”
“You should know how developed the internet is right now; even small matters can get widely spread. If it’s known that we let Xaviera live in the basement, people will say we mistreat our daughter! They will also say that Anna is jealous by nature.”
Upon hearing how Anna would also be affected, Mrs. Campbell stopped objecting.
Xaviera leaned against the wall, challenging Anna: “Sister, you’d better start moving out now!”
Anna looked at her with teary eyes, “You…”
“What do you mean ‘you’? Hurry up and pack up, I still need to move in!” Xaviera looked around the room, “Take all your belongings with you; I’ll throw anything left behind away later. Don’t blame me if something’s missing!”
Anna gritted her teeth in anger, “Fine, I… I’ll pack up now.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Campbell.” Xaviera suddenly recalled something, “Anna told me earlier that there weren’t any rooms left on the second and third floors, so she made me stay in the basement. If Miss Campbell still stays upstairs after moving out, wouldn’t that mean she was targeting me on purpose just now?”
Anna’s face reddened in anger.
Did Xaviera want her to live in the basement now?
Mr. Campbell furrowed his brow and left, discontented.
Seeing him leave, Mrs. Campbell immediately shouted, “Xaviera! Have you had enough? Since you appeared, nothing good has happened. You’re just a wild girl; what right do you have to compete with Anna! Anna, don’t cry, come with Mom!”
Anna nodded, hesitated, and turned around, “Sister, don’t blame mom. If you need to blame someone, blame me. Mom is just trying to look out for me and scolded you a few times. For the sake of family harmony, can we just stop this and live peacefully as sisters?”
Xaviera rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut.
She took a tour of the room, and the more she saw, the more she liked it. She then instructed the servants to throw out all of Anna’s belongings.
After that, she lay comfortably on the bed.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the window. Xaviera jumped up.
A man climbed in through the window, entered the bedroom with quick agility, and glanced around the room with a faint smile, “Mrs. Evans seems to be quite content!”
Xaviera gave him a cheeky smile, “Caleb, the respectable CEO of the Mamet Corporation, is actually sneaking in through windows like a common thief now?”
The man appeared indifferent, “The Campbell family has gone to pick someone up.”
Xaviera raised an eyebrow, “So they think Adrian can get out now?”
Adrian had hired thugs to commit murder, but if she appealed, he would surely end up in prison for life. That’s why the Campbell family hastily recognized Xaviera, hoping she’d admit it was only a joke between siblings and that she wouldn’t pursue the matter any further, thus resolving the issue.
Caleb spoke dismissively, “They proved that you are the daughter of the Campbell family, and Adrian is your brother. The two of you were just joking around. With the Campbell family smoothing things over, Adrian will indeed be released soon.”
Xaviera smiled, knowing Caleb must have a backup plan.
“However, there’s still me in that car.” Caleb revealed a meaningful smile.
Xaviera suddenly realized.
That’s right, Caleb was in that car too!
If Caleb didn’t want to settle, Adrian still couldn’t be released!
The man slowly approached and stroked her delicate collarbone, his fingers moving down her slender neck, where the necklace with a hidden camera lay.
He sneered, “The Campbell family is truly ridiculous!”
“Indeed, ridiculous! They dare to show me their power as soon as I step inside. If I leak this out, will they still have face to mix with the upper class?”
