Chapter 579: The Situation Gets Out of Hand
Upon hearing Anna Campbell’s response, Mrs. Russell sneered, “Miss Campbell, don’t talk nonsense, I’m not your grandmother. Xaviera, since the Campbell family can’t accommodate you, co back with to the Russell family. Let’s see who else dares to bully you!”
Xaviera smiled and nodded.
“What’s going on?”
A few confused people asked, “Why is the Russell family treating Xaviera, their adopted daughter, so well? Just now Anna said that she wanted to see Mrs. Russell and insisted that she should be introduced by her. Xaviera doesn’t have the qualification to et Mrs. Russell on her own!”
Mrs. Russell glared fiercely at Anna Campbell.
Anna’s body trembled, and she shivered as she explained, “Grandmother, I… I didn’t say that, it’s… it’s all a misunderstanding.”
Sara Wendleton couldn’t stand Xaviera’s arrogant deanor. Since she was an adopted daughter, she should know her place—how could she surpass the Campbell family’s own daughter?
She spoke with displeasure, “Mrs. Russell, you can’t bla my cousin. She was just a little angry. You just arrived and don’t know what happened. Xaviera just stole sothing from Anna.”
“It was because of that, Anna got angry and spoke so harsh words. She didn’t an to target Xaviera or look down on her status. On the contrary, Anna thinks of her as a sister and always defends her! But Xaviera stole sothing and didn’t even admit her fault. How can such a person be deserving of being the Campbell family’s daughter?”
As the words fell, silence enveloped the room.
Everyone hurriedly realized that they hadn’t got to the bottom of Xaviera’s theft yet!
Even though Mrs. Russell admitted that Xaviera was the daughter of the Campbell family, she did steal Anna’s ring, which was a fact. Anna’s excessive words wouldn’t matter, and she didn’t bla Xaviera at all.
Sara pointed at Xaviera and shouted, “It was her who stole the erald ring you gave to Anna! She stole it, and she has no remorse at all! Now you know what kind of person Xaviera is! She even dared to steal the birthday gift you gave Anna! It’s just too outrageous!”
After a few seconds of silence, Mrs. Russell suddenly laughed.
“I gave her an erald ring?”
Seeing this situation, Sara suddenly beca uneasy, “Yes, yes, a set of jade jewelry, including an excellent erald ring, which is quite valuable. Xaviera probably wanted to steal it because she knew how valuable it was.”
Mrs. Russell’s gaze gradually turned cold.
The two young n behind her frowned, and one of them even glared at Anna angrily.
Everyone looked puzzled, while Anna shuddered, guiltily lowering her head.
She hastily explained, “Grandmother, I didn’t bla Xaviera, nor did I bla her for stealing. I fear that if this gets out, it will be bad for Xaviera, so I’ve already told everyone not to talk about it. I didn’t slander her. That’s why I was only telling her not to do anything like this again. I just…”
“You think Xaviera did it, then call the police.” Caleb Mat coldly glanced at her, then looked at Mrs. Russell, “What do you think?”
Mrs. Russell imdiately understood that if she proved the ring was given to Xaviera, then Anna…
She had known before she ca that Xaviera had married Caleb Mat, a young man who now controlled the entire Mat family and had growing influence, with businesses spanning the globe. It seed that he was very fond of Xaviera.
Mrs. Russell looked at the young man in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
Since the matter had already escalated, it would tarnish Xaviera’s reputation if it got out. It would be better to make it even bigger to avoid Xaviera being wronged.
“Hmm, call the police,” Mrs. Russell said.
Anna turned pale, her body shaking violently.
She couldn’t! She couldn’t call the police!
Feigning calm, she said, “Let’s forget about it. If we call the police, how will Xaviera face others in the future? Grandmother, I have already let this go, so let’s not…”
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Russell impatiently waved her hand, and one of her subordinates imdiately dialed the police station’s number.
Once the other side heard that it was a matter between Miss Campbell and Mrs. Mat, involving an erald ring worth millions, they didn’t dare to delay and arrived at the Jewelry House in no ti.
