Chapter 525: Chapter 525: What Else Could Matter If She Doesnât Even Care About Her Own Daughter?
âI had no choice; I didnât plan to bring her over at first, but I was worried she would be upset, so Iâve been on tenterhooks all the way!â
âItâs just that Anna is gentle-tempered and doesnât resent this sister. She pleaded with us for a long time, and we finally agreed to let the child out. But⊠as soon as the banquet began, she disappeared! Itâs Anna who understands, even though she has no blood relationship with us, she is more like the daughter of the Campbell family.â
The insinuation in Nidya Hughesâ words was that although the biological daughter had returned home, the house still belonged to the adopted daughter. The adopted daughter was kind, sensible, obedient, and a top noble lady, while the biological daughter was rude and unworthy of being the daughter of the Campbell family. So they had to give up the child and focus on raising the adopted daughter.
Nidya Hughes feigned helplessness, feeling that she didnât show any disgust but just a sense of helplessness.
However, everyone else was silent and looked at them with contempt upon hearing her words.
The guests were all influential members of the upper class, who had to pay attention to their status and image in public, but at this moment, they particularly wanted to say, were the Campbells out of their minds?
Mrs. Flack looked coldly, âSo itâs because your biological daughter is so unruly and ignorant of etiquette that you let an adopted daughter take her place?â fÉŸeewebnoveâ.coàč
Nidya Hughes couldnât help but be stunned, âYes⊠thatâs right. I intended to have Xaviera by my side, showing her face in front of everyone, but she always runs off, and in the blink of an eye, she disappearsâŠâ
âHow dare you lie to me?â Mrs. Flack narrowed her eyes and harshly slapped the table.
Nidya Hughes trembled in fright and nervously explained, âMrs. Flack, I⊠I didnât lie to you. It was Xaviera who left on her own. I am her biological mother; how could I lie? She is just too unrulyâŠâ
âMr. and Mrs. Campbell.â
At this point, housekeeper Bronte walked up with a bland smile on his face, âI just witnessed a bit of an argument between the Campbells at the entrance.â
Nidya Hughes frowned, not understanding why Mrs. Flack suddenly became angry. Even if the Campbell family didnât like Xaviera, it had nothing to do with the Flack family. Although the Flack family was wealthy and powerful, they shouldnât interfere in other peopleâs family affairs.
Moreover, it was in front of everyone that Mrs. Flack directed her anger at Nidya, clearly not giving her any face.
Nidya Hughes held back her anger, âMrs. Flack, weâŠâ
âMrs. Campbell, you are Miss Xaviera Evanâs mother, but there are some things you have done incorrectly, as the hostess we have the right to speak up.â
Housekeeper Bronte calmly asked, âAre you still confident in your words, Mrs. Campbell, believing that Miss Xaviera Evans is unruly and disrespectful, which is why she didnât attend the banquet?â
âOfâŠof course!â
ââYou still want to attend the banquet? Saving your brother is more important! Do you think I brought you here to attend the banquet? It doesnât matter whether youâre here or not, now that youâve shown your face, the Flack family wonât say anything.ââ
ââIâm telling you, you must persuade Mr. Caleb Mamet to reconcile today no matter what! This is your fault, if you hadnât called the police, your brother wouldnât have been arrested, so you have to sort this out!ââ
ââWhat does it matter if your reputation is bad! You canât represent the Campbell family. Now Anna and your brotherâs reputation is what matters! Youâve grown up in the countryside and donât understand etiquette; youâre crude! I donât expect you to have a good reputation. Itâs better to sacrifice you for everyone elseâs sake; what are you hesitating for? Hurry up!ââ
The voice of Nidya Hughes came out from the mobile phone while the room fell silent.
Mrs. Flackâs eyes were cold, âMr. Campbell, if it werenât for housekeeper Bronte checking the surveillance, we would have misunderstood Miss Campbell. I really donât understand why you both would defame your own biological daughter?â
With a smile on his gentle and jade-like face, Elijah Flackâs voice was chilling, âI heard Mr. Campbell hired a killer to murder someone, and almost killed his own sister. But Mrs. Campbell blamed her biological daughter, not even caring about her life. What else can you Campbells value? Uncle Liu, please ask the Campbell family to leave!â
