Chapter 533: Chapter 533: You Want to Get Beaten, Iâll Fulfill Your Wish
Anna Campbell hurriedly followed her, her eyes filled with tears, âSister, I know you hate me and think Iâve stolen your identity, but Iâm innocent too. Mom is also caught in the middle, torn between her own biological daughter and the adopted daughter who has spent twenty years with her. Why canât we get along? Sister, letâs go out and talk, okay?â
Annaâs face was full of sadness, but a touch of sinister smile flashed in her eyes.
Xaviera Evans knew she had ill intentions, but her curiosity about what Anna wanted to do got the better of her, so she nodded, âFine.â
The Flack familyâs courtyard was quite large, and Anna led Xaviera around a circle to a secluded corner.
With each step, Anna calculated her next move. Now that everyone knew she had arranged for Xaviera to be placed in the basement room and even planned to kill her, she had to clear her name. The best way to do that was to pin all the blame on Xaviera.
Before leaving, Anna had already found out that the Flack familyâs courtyard was full of cameras, but there was no audio. As long as she deliberately provoked Xaviera, making her unable to resist the anger and lash out, all the guests of the Flack family would see Xavieraâs ugly face.
Miss Campbell could only be her, and Mrs. Mamet could only be her!
So, Anna earnestly advised, âSister, do you know why Mr. Caleb Mamet would marry a country girl like you? I reckon itâs because he thinks you know nothing, so he can simply kick you away after a few years without any trouble. If you donât get a divorce now, youâll regret it later. As your sister, why would I lie to you?â
âMom arranged for me to marry Mr. Mamet, not because she favors me, but because she thinks that I can hold onto him better and bring more benefits to the Campbell family. But you⊠You donât have the ability to be Mrs. Mamet.â
âBesides, Mom and Dad said Miss Campbell can only be me. Youâre just a country wild girl, youâre not even fit to be the Campbell familyâs daughter. Bringing you back is just forâŠâ
Xaviera interrupted, âAnna Campbell, you asked me to come here alone just to provoke me, right? You want me to attack you so that you can use it as an opportunity to accuse me of assaulting my sister. Iâm violent and irritable while youâre innocent, and this way you can completely destroy my reputation?â
Annaâs eyes darkened, and she feigned aggrievement, âSister, thatâs not what I meant. What I said is the truth. Do you think youâre fit to be Miss Campbell? Our parents originally didnât want to find you. Itâs becauseâŠâ
Slap!
Before she could finish speaking, a slap whistled through the air and landed heavily on Annaâs face.
Xaviera hooked her lips up in a smile, âSince you really wanted to be hit, then Iâll oblige!â
The slap left Annaâs face burning hot, but there was no visible mark on her skin.
Anna wanted to provoke Xaviera, but she didnât expect her to actually be so bold as to slap her right away.
She gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger. Now that Xaviera was falling into her trap, she was pleased. She then quickly put on tearful eyes, âSister, why did you hit me? I know you resent me for taking your place, but someone swapped us back then, and at that time, I was only a baby in swaddling clothes. How can you blame me?â
âAlthough youâre married to Mr. Mamet, I know youâre not happy. You just wonât tell our family about it, so Mom wants me to take your place in marrying him, which isâŠâ
Slap!
Xaviera raised her hand and slapped her again.
Anna looked astonished. In just a short time, she had already been slapped twice by Xaviera.
âYou⊠you just wait!â
Xaviera smoothed her hair, âDo you even know how annoying you are!â
âI may be an adopted daughter, but Iâve been with Mom and Dad for twenty years. They think of me as their own. How dare you hit me? I wonât let you bully me like this!â
âBullying? You think Iâm the one whoâs bullying you?â
Xaviera crossed her arms, her laughter cold.
A chill ran down Annaâs spine, and she tried to suppress her anger as she prepared to cry out.
âWhatâs next? Cry, make a scene, try to hang yourself, and let everyone see the slap marks on your face? Accuse me of hitting you for no reason in front of everyone, saying Iâm jealous and trying to drive you, the adopted daughter, out of the house? Saying Iâm targeting you?â Xaviera asked.
