Chapter 507: Persuading Her to Reconcile
They’ve known about the disappearance of their biological daughter and sister years ago, yet they never bothered to search. Their sudden appearance now must have a hidden agenda!
In favor of Anna Campbell, they could abandon their own daughter. Have they come to their senses now?
Xaviera Evans curled the corners of her mouth into a smile, revealing her clean, white teeth. Then she chuckled shyly: “Steve Price, you sure can imagine horrific scenarios. I’m so fragile. The Campbell family is here to recognize me. How could I possibly cause harm to anyone? I’m not violent!”
Steve Price:
It’s scarier when his wife smiles.
Maybe he should send people to protect the Campbell family. Once his wife loses control of her anger and kills one or two of them, it could create problems. After all, the Campbell family is also a reputable family in Lokio.
Also, there’s Adrian Campbell in the Campbell family who wants to kill his wife. If his wife got agitated…
One day earlier.
The Campbell family was anxious like ants on a hot pot. They pulled many strings and spent a good fortune, yet they couldn’t get Adrian out of jail. Mrs. Campbell and Anna were sitting on the sofa, sobbing.
Anna blamed herself, “It’s all my fault… if it weren’t for me, Adrian… he wouldn’t have messed with Xaviera Evans and wouldn’t have gotten arrested.”
“My dear daughter! It’s not your fault! Everything is on that bitch, Xaviera Evans!”
Mrs. Campbell first comforted, then screamed in rage: “I don’t believe Xaviera dare to oppose our Campbell family. Once Adrian is released, I will make her pay!”
At that moment, Mr. Campbell walked in.
Mrs. Campbell quickly stood up and asked eagerly, “How is Adrian’s situation? When can he be released?”
Mr. Campbell looked stern and helpless: “The authorities said unless Xaviera agrees to a settlement. If she insists on holding Adrian accountable, Adrian will be prosecuted. Hiring an assassin is not a small crime!”
Mrs. Campbell was consumed with rage, “Xaviera! That little bitch! I’m going to… call her over now. Why wouldn’t she agree to a settlement? I’ll kill her!”
“Calm down! Do you want to make things worse? I will talk to Xaviera. I’ll make her agree to the settlement,” said Mr. Campbell.
Mrs. Campbell immediately asked, “What are you going to offer? Money?”
Mr. Campbell looked serious, word by word: “Actually… Xaviera is our biological daughter. After she was taken away by Nina Hughes back then, she was brought to the Evans family.”
Boom!!
Mrs. Campbell widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at him.
Anna watched Mrs. Campbell’s shocked expressions and chuckled in delight. Then, pretending to be surprised, she covered her mouth and trembled, “Ah! Miss Evans… is actually your biological daughter, no wonder… no wonder she was against me at first sight. It’s my fault, I should not compete with her. It’s okay, as long as she’s willing to come back, I can apologize to her.”
Mr. Campbell affectionately said: “I have found out her current address. We should go talk to her and make her agree to a settlement, release Adrian as soon as possible. Get ready quickly.”
Tears started to trickle down Anna’s cheeks, “Daddy, I… I won’t go. My sister… she doesn’t like me. I took the position of Miss Campbell, she probably… doesn’t want to see me.”
“Anna!” Before Mr. Campbell could say anything, Mrs. Campbell retorted: “You are Miss Campbell! What has it got to do with her!”
“Mom, actually… I’ve thought about it. If you found your biological daughter, I would leave home.” Anna choked up, “I wish so badly that I was your biological daughter, but I share no blood ties with you. If my sister doesn’t want to come home because of me, how could I feel at peace? So… it’s better if I leave.”
“Anna! Don’t leave!”
Mrs. Campbell was heartbroken. She then pointed at Mr. Campbell in resentment: “I don’t want Xaviera! She’s not my daughter! She’s a wild girl, creating chaos in the Campbell family even before she has officially returned. If she were to come home, who knows what mess she would make!”
“Look at what people are saying about Anna on the internet! And your son gets arrested and suffers in the police station because of Xaviera Evans, do you still want to recognize Xaviera as your daughter?”
