Chapter 522: Chapter 522: The Flack Family Banquet
At this moment, the Flack familyâs housekeeper Bronte walked towards them. Jeremy and Nidya knew that he worked for the Flack family for decades and was treated like family, so others dared not offend him.
Jeremy hurriedly greeted him with enthusiasm, âHello, housekeeper Bronte.â
Housekeeper Bronte gave Xaviera a meaningful glance, then smiled slightly: âMr. and Mrs. Campbell, please come in!â Æreewebηoveâ.com
Jeremy was instantly overjoyed, thinking that if housekeeper Bronte was so amicable to them, it meant that the Flack family valued the Campbell family very much.
Nidya and Anna also greeted him, but Xaviera stood quietly to the side without speaking.
Once housekeeper Bronte left, Nidya immediately scolded Xaviera in displeasure: âXaviera! You really are impolite! You donât even know how to greet people when you see them. Donât tell anyone youâre my daughter when you go out. Youâve embarrassed us all!â
At that time, the guests began to come in one after another.
Anna immediately went to Xaviera and spoke softly: âSister, donât be angry with mom for saying these things. When attending a banquet, you must understand social etiquette. You probably havenât attended a banquet before and donât know these rules. If thereâs anything you donât understand, you can ask me. Donât offend any other distinguished guests. Housekeeper Bronte is not just a servant in the Flack family; you have already offended him the moment you entered. Youâre making mom and dad uncomfortable!â
Xaviera remained silent, and Anna continued: âSister, although you havenât learned these rules, you are still the daughter of the Campbell family after all. Youâll have to attend many banquets in the future, so you must try to adapt. Donât lose your temper, alright?â
âYou grew up in the countryside and surely havenât experienced such scenes before. But this is the Flack family, not our own home. If you see anything you like, you must not take it without the hostâs consent. Do you hear me?â
Although Annaâs voice was not loud, everyone could hear her clearly, causing them to whisper among themselves.
âThe Campbell family said Xaviera offended housekeeper Bronte? Are they kidding?â
âTheyâve really shot themselves in the foot this time. Who doesnât know that Xaviera is the beloved jewel of the Flack family, and also Mr. Caleb Mametâs wife? How dare their adopted daughter scold Miss Evans so openly? Itâs simply overestimating themselves!â
âYou see the Campbell familyâs manner, they probably donât know housekeeper Bronte condescending to greet them is all because of Xavieraâs presence. Without her, he wouldnât even spare them a glance!â
âAll the guests here know the relationship between Miss Evans and the Flack family, except for the Campbell Family. They are really stupid! Without Miss Evans, do they even deserve to attend the Flack familyâs banquet?â
The Campbell family didnât hear the guestsâ whispers.
Jeremy furrowed his brow. âAnna, stop talking. I already warned your sister. Sheâs not a child anymore, she doesnât need you to say it again.â
Anna immediately looked wronged. âDad, itâs my fault. I thought sister had forgotten, so I reminded her once more. I⊠Iâm just afraid sheâll do something wrong. Iâm not⊠not scolding her, just reminding her.â
Nidya immediately sided with Anna, yelling at Jeremy: âWhat are you angry about? Anna is doing this for the sake of the Campbell family. Itâs Xaviera who is impolite, not knowing how to greet people when she sees them. Anna is afraid sheâll embarrass the Campbell family, so she said a few more words. I told you not to bring this jinx to the banquet, but you insisted on taking her with us. How embarrassing!â
Jeremy looked up at Xaviera, his face impatient.
He couldnât help but scoff, âI warned you before going out, and youâve forgotten so soon? How can you be so foolish! You should learn from your sister Anna, see how she does things, and not disgrace our family!â
Jeremy lowered his voice: âXaviera, donât forget why youâre here today. Mr. Caleb Mamet is also at the Flack familyâs house. Go find him now. I donât care how you do it, but you have to make him agree to reconcile and release your brother.â
Xaviera slowly looked up, her thin lips parted slightly, âBut⊠the banquet is about to begin. If Iâm not there, thenâŠâ
