Chapter 519: If She is Unkind, Don't Blame Me for Being Unjust
Mrs. Campbell looked at Anna crying sadly, her heart aching and tears flowing.
Much to her irritation, she noticed Xaviera Evans standing at the staircase with a look of indifference.
"You're a jinx! It's all your fault! That room was originally yours, but you insisted on taking Anna’s room and forcing her to move into the basement.
Anna was harmed because of you!"
The room went silent as her words fell.
Nanny Crabtree, an outsider, could hardly bear to listen. Although Miss Drew had been missing for twenty years, she was still the Campbell family's daughter. Besides, it's not her fault that the basement suddenly caught fire.
But as a servant, she dared not criticize Mrs. Campbell. Afraid that Evans would be wronged, she was about to speak up on her behalf when--- Evans suddenly looked aggrieved: "What does the basement fire have to do with me? Is it okay if my room catches fire, but if Anna’s room catches fire, it's my fault? Instead of blaming me, perhaps Mrs. Campbell should send someone to investigate where the fire started to prevent another disaster."
"By the way, Mrs. Campbell, you just reminded me that the room was arranged for me by Anna. Now that it suddenly caught fire, did she do something in the room and want to set it ablaze to harm me? If so, the matter of the adopted daughter plotting against the Campbell family’s daughter would become a major issue."
Evans then grinned: "Fortunately, I wasn't the one who got burnt, so Anna doesn't need to bear the blame of attempting to harm the Campbell family's daughter."
Anna's face flushed red with anger.
"It was you who started the fire!" Mrs. Campbell yelled.
Evans feigned innocence: "Mrs. Campbell, what are you talking about? I've been upstairs the whole time. Nanny Crabtree and the other servants can testify. How could I have gone down to the basement to start a fire?"
Nanny Crabtree confirmed: "Madam, Miss Drew has been upstairs the whole time and hasn't gone down or even been to the basement."
Upon hearing this, everyone was indignant. The adopted daughter's room caught fire, but the biological daughter was blamed? Everyone had witnessed Miss Drew staying in her room; how could she be held responsible?
