Chapter 525: What Else Could Matter If She Doesn’t Even Care About Her Own Daughter?
“I had no choice; I didn’t plan to bring her over at first, but I was worried she would be upset, so I’ve been on tenterhooks all the way!”
“It’s just that Anna is gentle-tempered and doesn’t resent this sister. She pleaded with us for a long ti, and we finally agreed to let the child out. But… as soon as the banquet began, she disappeared! It’s Anna who understands, even though she has no blood relationship with us, she is more like the daughter of the Campbell family.”
The insinuation in Nidya Hughes’ words was that although the biological daughter had returned ho, 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 didn’t 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 mbers of the upper class, who had to pay attention to their status and image in public, but at this mont, they particularly wanted to say, were the Campbells out of their minds?
Mrs. Flack looked coldly, “So it’s because your biological daughter is so unruly and ignorant of etiquette that you let an adopted daughter take her place?”
Nidya Hughes couldn’t help but be stunned, “Yes… that’s 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 disappears…”
“How dare you lie to ?” Mrs. Flack narrowed her eyes and harshly slapped the table.
Nidya Hughes trembled in fright and nervously explained, “Mrs. Flack, I… I didn’t lie to you. It was Xaviera who left on her own. I am her biological mother; how could I lie? She is just too unruly…”
“Mr. and Mrs. Campbell.”
At this point, housekeeper Bronte walked up with a bland smile on his face, “I just witnessed a bit of an argunt between the Campbells at the entrance.”
Nidya Hughes frowned, not understanding why Mrs. Flack suddenly beca angry. Even if the Campbell family didn’t like Xaviera, it had nothing to do with the Flack family. Although the Flack family was wealthy and powerful, they shouldn’t interfere in other people’s 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, “Mrs. Flack, we…”
“Mrs. Campbell, you are Miss Xaviera Evan’s mother, but there are so things you have done incorrectly, as the hostess we have the right to speak up.”
Housekeeper Bronte calmly asked, “Are you still confident in your words, Mrs. Campbell, believing that Miss Xaviera Evans is unruly and disrespectful, which is why she didn’t attend the banquet?”
“Of…of course!”
—”You still want to attend the banquet? Saving your brother is more important! Do you think I brought you here to attend the banquet? It doesn’t matter whether you’re here or not, now that you’ve shown your face, the Flack family won’t say anything.”—
—”I’m telling you, you must persuade Mr. Caleb Mat to reconcile today no matter what! This is your fault, if you hadn’t called the police, your brother wouldn’t have been arrested, so you have to sort this out!”—
—”What does it matter if your reputation is bad! You can’t represent the Campbell family. Now Anna and your brother’s reputation is what matters! You’ve grown up in the countryside and don’t understand etiquette; you’re crude! I don’t expect you to have a good reputation. It’s better to sacrifice you for everyone else’s sake; what are you hesitating for? Hurry up!”—
The voice of Nidya Hughes ca out from the mobile phone while the room fell silent.
Mrs. Flack’s eyes were cold, “Mr. Campbell, if it weren’t for housekeeper Bronte checking the surveillance, we would have misunderstood Miss Campbell. I really don’t understand why you both would defa your own biological daughter?”
With a smile on his gentle and jade-like face, Elijah Flack’s voice was chilling, “I heard Mr. Campbell hired a killer to murder soone, and almost killed his own sister. But Mrs. Campbell blad her biological daughter, not even caring about her life. What else can you Campbells value? Uncle Liu, please ask the Campbell family to leave!”
