Chapter 669: 669: The Wealthy Families of Lokio Respect Her Tremendously
“Are you implying that this gentleman is the biological brother of Anna Campbell, Mrs. Hughes? So this lady is Mrs. Russell, the mother of Anna Campbell? They are all members of the Russell family?”
Silenced filled the room as everyone held their breath. The Russell family had gathered, what on earth were they planning?
Mrs. Russell spoke calmly, “The Campbell family’s dislike for Xaviera is their own issue, Xaviera has done nothing wrong! Anna Campbell, enough of your babble, if you don’t want Xaviera, it doesn’t matter. As long as the Russell family adores her, she is perfectly content. She is the only daughter of the Russell family. Why should she fight for the position of Miss Campbell?”
“Xaviera doesn’t need to compete with anyone. The petty Campbell family means nothing to her. Everything she wants, the Russell can give her. Why would she treasure the Campbell family?”
“From now on, Xaviera is Miss Russell. All the wealthy families in Lokio will respect her. Why would she vie with Anna for the position of Miss Campbell?”
A loving smile spread across Mrs. Russell’s stern face, “Xaviera, come to grandma.”
The crowd gazed in shock. They had heard rumors that the Campbell family rejected Xaviera because she had offended everyone before she even stepped in, which is why the Campbell family disapproved of her.
And now, Mrs. Russell brought the descendants of the Russell family to support Xaviera and declared to the world that Xaviera is the Miss Russell, and she disdains the minor Campbell family.
Be it in terms of prestige or wealth, the Campbell family was no match for the Russell family. For centuries, the Russell family had enjoyed great prosperity, while the Campbell family was always lukewarm. Now, with the company facing difficulties, there was no comparison between the two families.
Not to mention, behind Xaviera, there was not only the Russell family but also Caleb Mamet. The two vast forces backed Xaviera, who else would dare to oppose her?
The news of Anna Campbell severing the relationship with Mrs. Russell was known to almost everyone. Anna Campbell chose to live with her father and his mistress, even calling her mother. After Mrs. Russell divorced, Anna Campbell continued to live with the mistress, completely breaking Mrs. Russell’s heart, she cut off contact with her daughter.
At this moment, Anna Campbell’s eyes were vacant, and her heart was filled with hatred. Why did her mother and brother have to support Xaviera?
Just as everyone was silent, a crisp slap resonated. Jeremy Campbell rushed up and gave Anna Campbell a harsh slap. Anna Campbell was caught off guard and fell to the ground, her cheek instantly swelling.
“You bitch!”
Witnessing this, Anna Campbell rushed over to protect Anna Campbell, shouting, “Husband! What are you doing!”
Jeremy Campbell’s eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Anna Campbell, did you provide me with the investigation report six years ago, saying that Xaviera was obstinate and stupid, and having her come back to the Campbell family would only make us the laughingstock of the aristocratic noble families. Is that what you said?”
Mrs. Russell’s gaze turned cold, so they knew about Xaviera’s whereabouts six years ago?
Jeremy Campbell didn’t care about the consequences at this point. He only wanted to vent his anger, regretting his stupidity not to bring Xaviera back immediately. If it wasn’t for Anna Campbell’s manipulation, perhaps they would have reunited as a family long ago.
“Anna Campbell, was this something to do with you? Do you know why Xaviera suddenly disappeared six years ago?”
Facing Jeremy Campbell’s questioning, Anna Campbell was somewhat flustered, “Isn’t it just her stubborn nature? Who knows where she ran off to, and maybe she was with a man…”
Smack!
Jeremy Campbell raised his hand and slapped Anna Campbell hard.
“I’ll tell you, it was Anna Campbell who changed Xaviera’s information and made us believe that Xaviera was stupid and obstinate. In fact, Xaviera is incredibly bright. She was participating in various international competitions and winning champion at the age of fourteen! She is also the goddaughter of the Flack, Sullvian, and Hamer families!”
“Her disappearance was not due to any malfeasance, but because Anna Campbell deliberately concealed her information. She even sent a gang of hooligans to bully her, trying to damage her reputation.”
Xaviera recalled that she indeed had such an experience when she was fourteen. Several local punks had come to give her trouble. Her elder brother had beaten them half to death, causing his career to be affected. Therefore, he withdrew from the entertainment industry and went abroad.
