Chapter 516: Making Decisions for the Granddaughter
Xaviera Evans sneered, “Only Mr. Campbell could be considered clever, but his kind attitude towards me is just for the sake of the Campbell family’s reputation. As for that Mrs. Campbell, she’s hopelessly foolish and can’t help but be hostile towards me. I can’t understand why.”
Caleb Mamet lowered his eyes.
Actually, he also didn’t understand why the Campbell couple favored their adopted daughter more?
When their biological daughter returned home, they didn’t show any delight. On the contrary, they seemed to regard her as a burden?
Perhaps it was because they thought Xaviera was just a wild girl who had been wandering outside, while Anna Campbell was a top noble lady they had painstakingly cultivated, or maybe there were other reasons.
Xaviera pursed her lips, “I must make clear my mother’s matters. Thus, I still need to live in the Campbell family for a few days. Plus, I found that this Mrs. Campbell seems to hide some secrets!”
“The previous investigation showed that although Mrs. Campbell and her sister did not grow up together, they are blood sisters after all; hence, they still have a good relationship. If it weren’t for her sister, I wouldn’t know where I would have ended up. That is to say, it was her sister who saved her biological daughter, and she should be grateful. But she doesn’t seem to think so.”
“You also investigated that the Hughes family is a wealthy aristocratic family in Lokio; they are an aristocratic family with a hundred years of history. Before the two daughters got married, they never left the house. But look at Mrs. Campbell’s aggressive appearance; is she like a daughter from such a family?”
Caleb Mamet’s expression remained indifferent, “The Flack family head and his wife have come to Libanan. It seems that they came because of you.”
Xaviera’s eyes lit up immediately, “They’re here!”
“They came to take revenge for you this time, so they plan to hold a banquet and have also invited the Campbell family.”
Xaviera smiled faintly; the Campbell family didn’t take advantage of her. Her elder brother and the others came to avenge her! But she’s anticipating the dispirited expressions of the Campbell family at the banquet.
…
At this time, in the Russell family in the Imperial Capital.
“Madam, the Campbell family has found their biological daughter.”
An elegant elderly lady was half-lying on a couch, with her eyes slightly squinted, looking very comfortable.
She slowly opened her eyes, and although she was old, her face had few wrinkles due to proper maintenance. “Has Nidya’s child been found?”
The old lady’s eyes turned red, and her voice trembled, “It’s been so many years, and she has finally found her child. Hurry up! Call the young masters in the family and go to Libanan with me!”
The servant nodded and hesitated, “Old Madam, though Miss Nidya found her biological daughter, I heard that the Campbell family isn’t treating her well. They even arranged a basement room for her, while the adopted daughter stayed in the largest and most luxurious room in the villa. Look at this…”
The old lady’s eyes widened.
The servant took a deep breath and continued, “Miss Nidya herself doesn’t treat her biological daughter well. The Hughes family is biased, and no one knows how they’ll make things difficult for the child.”
The old lady’s face was full of anger as she slapped the table fiercely, “This Nidya! She’s gone too far! She can’t change her nature. That’s her biological daughter! How can she be so blind?! That little girl lost her family at birth, yet she… she has the heart?”
With the old lady furious, the servant reluctantly said, “Old Madam, I think Miss Nidya doesn’t like the child not because she’s been drifting outside since she was little, nor because she despises the child for not having upbringing, unlike a top noble lady, but because…”
“It’s because the child was rescued by Miss Xaviera after being switched.”
Upon hearing these words, the old lady’s tears uncontrollably fell, “Nina…”
“Miss Xaviera saved Miss Xaviera and had her marry a family in Libanan. Later, Miss Xaviera passed away due to illness. Little Xaviera lost her protector and was bullied by the mistress and their illegitimate daughter during her childhood. She almost died in their hands. Then, she finally found her birth parents, but they still treated her poorly. Sigh! Such a pity!”
“I’m going to Libanan now!”
The old lady abruptly stood up, her face gloomy, “My granddaughter finally returned home. Let’s see who dares to bully her? If Nidya still can’t see clearly, I, as the old lady, will stand up for my granddaughter!”
The servant’s heart felt a pang of sourness.
