Chapter 528: Who Gave Mrs. Campbell Confidence?
Everyone fell silent, their faces filled with embarrassnt, and Mrs. Flack’s face flushed red with anger at the head of the table.
Is Nidya Hughes a fool?
Everyone had heard the earlier recording; Nidya herself had clearly urged Xaviera Evans to curry favor with Mr. Caleb Mat. Now, seeing that Mr. Caleb Mat had agreed, she pushed all the bla on Xaviera. This was disgraceful.
Nidya Hughes saw Xaviera Evans not arguing, thinking that she had admitted to this bla. Just when she assud the matter was over, she heard Xaviera start to speak slowly.
“I didn’t expect my mother would also know that my brother did sothing wrong, hiring soone to murder sobody! This is a punishable cri.”
She tilted her head, smiling, “Mr. Caleb Mat, let it be if it has co to this.”
Caleb Mat nodded and then gave an indifferent order, “Alright! Steve Price, proceed to sue Adrian Campbell imdiately.”
The expression on Nidya Hughes’s face froze in an instant.
She didn’t… an this; she just wanted to show everyone that Xaviera Evans had no sha, unlike her daughter Anna, who was well-behaved, graceful, calm and reserved. She didn’t expect Mr. Caleb Mat to sue Adrian Campbell again.
Nidya Hughes objected, “Mr. Caleb Mat, Adrian had nothing to do with this. You already agreed, you can’t…”
“Didn’t you just say, my relationship with my brother was bad, I only approached Mr. Caleb Mat to seduce him, not for my brother? You even called shaless. Since you think so, why should I pay for you?”
Nidya Hughes called out, “Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak!”
Xaviera Evans responded indifferently, “You said let please Mr. Caleb Mat, I did as you said, Mr. Caleb Mat also agreed not to prosecute, but you backtracked and called shaless. Isn’t this a bit too much?”
Seeing her still retaliate, Nidya Hughes yelled out in exasperation, “Can’t you shut up! I’m talking with Mr. Caleb Mat! What’s your place to interfere! Mr. Caleb Mat agreed not to pursue, that’s because he respects the Campbell family. What does it have to do with you? Stop giving yourself undue credit!”
As soon as her words fell, Caleb Mat followed up: “Of course it has to do with her.”
Nidya Hughes widened her eyes, Anna Campbell also couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.
“Mrs. Campbell, surely you’re not under the impression that I let this matter slide because of the Campbell family, or because of your… foster daughter?” said Caleb Mat, sounding icy cold.
“No, isn’t it?”
Nidya Hughes blurted out without thinking, “How could such an outstanding man like Caleb Mat be attracted to a wild girl like Xaviera Evans who grew up in the countryside? If he were to like a woman, it had to be a well-bred lady like Anna.”
Therefore, Nidya Hughes assud Caleb Mat agreed to let Adrian Campbell off was because of Anna Campbell.
Caleb Mat coldly glanced at a confident looking Nidya Hughes and scoffed, “I wonder who gave Mrs. Campbell such confidence?”
“Then, then Mr. Caleb Mat’s agreent not to prosecute is because of…”
Just as Nidya Hughes was about to finish, Sean Price coldly interjected, “As our president said, he decided to let it go entirely because Miss Evans asked him to.”
Nidya Hughes stumbled emotionally, “How can this be! Mr. Caleb Mat, you should be trying to cover for Xaviera, don’t speak up for her anymore, I’ll just take her away without tangling with you, and as for her reputation being tarnished, she was the one secretly seducing you…”
“Mrs. Campbell, when our madam and our president et, how it could be seen as secretive?” Sean Price questioned, with an icy gaze, “What’s wrong with husband and wife attending banquet together? I really cannot comprehend Mrs. Campbell’s point. Or does Mrs. Campbell believe that only your foster daughter and our president being together seems most appropriate, and that if any other woman approaches president, it’s seduction?”
On hearing this, Jeremy Campbell shuddered.
He exchanged glances with Nidya Hughes, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.
“Your madam? Who? You an Xaviera Evans?”
Nidya Hughes asked incredulously, thinking she was hallucinating, “That’s impossible! Mr. Caleb Mat, you can’t say she’s Mrs. Mat just to protect her, only our Anna is suitable to be Mrs. Mat…”
“Shut up!”
Jeremy Campbell roared, and then nervously explained to Caleb Mat, “Mr. Caleb Mat, my wife is drunk, so she said what she should not, please don’t take it to heart…I…I didn’t expect that Xaviera would be your wife, then we’re all family…”
