Chapter 652: He Actually Said I’m Weak!
“Are you going to do it or not? What’s with all the useless talk?” Caleb Mamet yelled impatiently, clearly out of patience.
Anna Campbell was startled, raised her hand to shakily take off her coat, and sat on the sofa shyly touching her hair while unbuttoning one of the buttons on her chest.
At that moment, Caleb suddenly made a phone call: “Steve Price, send up the cleaning supplies. Miss Campbell insists on cleaning the office as an apology. Yes, didn’t I make myself clear? She wants to clean!”
Anna’s hand, which was about to undress, suddenly froze, and she looked at him in disbelief.
Wait a minute! When did she say she was going to clean?
Caleb slowly raised his eyes, filled with mockery, and sneered, “Miss Campbell is indeed very sincere, willing to do anything for an apology. It just so happens that the top-level offices need to be cleaned. Please clean all the offices and ensure the quality meets our standards. I’ll send an assistant to check on the work later.”
Anna was sitting enchantingly on the sofa, stunned for a few seconds, before finally realizing that Caleb was asking her to clean the office.
She glimpsed at her posture and half-naked skin, a strong sense of shame rushing through her.
Was there something wrong with Caleb’s mind? A beautiful woman was just delivered to him, and he didn’t take the offer?! Instead, he let her clean the office. Was he treating her as a janitor?
At this moment, Xaviera Evans in the next room: “…” was laughing!
She carefully opened the door a crack and saw Anna’s face turning red and then pale, followed by running out of the room with red-rimmed eyes.
Xaviera was about to get up when Caleb pushed the door and walked in, his eyes filled with anger: “Now I know, she really has no shame, seducing your man. You’ve been wronged!”
Xaviera raised her eyes: “What?”
“She repeatedly targets you, and you still accept her apology? Xaviera, you are the hostess of the Mamet family, my woman! Why are you so weak? How can you let Anna Campbell bully you like this?”
Xaviera stared wide-eyed in shock.
Caleb’s eyebrows furrowed as he finished speaking and left, leaving Xaviera and Steve starring at each other in disbelief.
Xaviera hesitated for a long moment before asking, “Don’t you think Caleb has been acting strangely lately? He hasn’t been hit on the head and gone stupid has he?”
Steve Price: “I don’t think so…”
Xaviera patted her chest incredulously, “You heard what he just said, right? He actually called me weak! If he’s not gone stupid, then he must have amnesia!”
Steve Price didn’t answer. Perhaps, in the president’s view, Mrs. Mamet was truly weak.
…
The Campbell family.
Upon hearing that Anna had gone to the Mamet Corporation without being pardoned but had instead offended Caleb, Jeremy Campbell immediately erupted in anger.
“Anna! Let me tell you, if you don’t bring Xaviera back, even if you win the championship of the Star Music Festival, you don’t need to come back. Get out right now!”
As soon as the words fell, an elder woman’s voice came from outside the door.
“Who dares to tell Anna to get out?”
Madam Campbell’s face was stern, and she cursed, “For the sake of that wild girl Xaviera, would you actually drive Anna away? Jeremy, are you crazy?”
Jeremy’s face was full of distress: “Mom, after all, Xaviera is my daughter.”
“So what?” Madam Campbell’s eyes were sharp, “When she was taken away back then, it was her fate and her bad luck. She can’t blame anyone! Since she came back, she has caused chaos in the house, a real jinx! And now, you want to drive Anna away, after she has accompanied you for twenty years, all because of her?”
Madam Campbell’s gaze fell on Nidya Hughes, full of mockery: “You’re waste; this is how you manage the house when it’s in your hands? You can’t even handle Xaviera. What qualification do you have to be the mistress of the Campbell family? Isn’t Xaviera very much concerned about Nina Hughes? Just target her.”
Nidya Hughes suddenly realized, “What mom said is correct. Xaviera is a child raised by Nina, whom she regarded as her biological mother. She has no feelings for me. Besides, she’s just a child, holding a huge inheritance left by Nina is unsafe.”
Madam Campbell’s expression was cold: “Regardless of who she cares about in her heart, you are her biological mother! If she doesn’t recognize you, post the matter online and use public opinion to force her. A little girl like her cannot bear these rumours. At that time, she will naturally return to the Campbell family with her inheritance.”
Nidya Hughes nodded with a smile. Surely, Madam Campbell knew how to get things done.
