527 Chapter 527: Sorry, I’m Late
Moreover, the Campbell family is really weird, neglecting their own daughter and favoring an adopted one, and even publicly demeaning their own flesh and blood. What’s more shocking is that they don’t even know that Xaviera Evans has already married Mr. Caleb Mamet. 1
One lady couldn’t control her anger any longer, “Mrs. Campbell, we are all wives of the upper class, but I can’t help but complain today. How thick–skinned you are! Just because your daughter admires Caleb, must he like her too? And even if you don’t like your own daughter, you shouldn’t slander her reputation in public. Do you even deserve to be a mother?”
“And you don’t know that Mr. Caleb’s-”
Before she could finish her sentence, a cold female voice sounded from outside the door, “Sorry, I’m
late.”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
They saw Xaviera Evans and Caleb Mamet walking in slowly. Everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell on the Campbell family, who, as expected, stared back in disbelief.
Nidya Hughes’s face darkened. That little bitch! Returning just at this moment!
After a moment’s thought, Nidya rushed forward and scolded loudly, “You finally remember to come back! Your father and I brought you to this banquet, and in the blink of an eye, you disappeared. You’ve been with another man for so long. Do you have any regard for me as your mother? Do you
know what shame is?”
Her words implied that Xaviera and Caleb were having an illicit relationship and must have done something unspeakable during the hour they were gone.
Caleb’s eyes were deep.
Xaviera smirked slightly, then started to cry with a grievance, “Mom, why did you scold me? Didn’t you tell me to please Mr. Caleb? Although my brother’s murder file can’t be revoked, Mr. Caleb has already agreed not to pursue the matter. My brother can be released.”
Xaviera wore an innocent face, “I thought mom would praise me for saving my brother, but I didn’t expect…boo hoo hoo….”
Steve Price, who stood at a distance, shook his head helplessly. He had already mourned for the Campbell family in his heart.
At this moment, their faces were filled with fascinating expressions–disbelief, anger, and fear. They wished they could escape the banquet hall right away.
The room fell silent, and everyone’s gaze fell on Nidya Hughes.
Anna Campbell stared maliciously at Xaviera, her eyes fixed on Xaviera’s hand holding Caleb’s, wishing she could burn a hole through it.
This little bitch is also worthy of standing with Mr. Caleb?
Anna had always been adored and pampered since childhood. She became an A–class actress and a
top noble lady. She worked hard to be better, all just to be worthy of the best man in the world.
