Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Swallowing Broken Teeth into the Stomach
If this were the Campbell family, Anna’s plot would have been successful, and she would be the one despised by everyone.
Anna would be able to sit firmly in the position of Miss Campbell, forever overwhelming her.
Everyone would say that the true daughter of the Campbell family is cunning and ruthless, not worthy of the identity of Miss Campbell, only the innocent, kind, and generous Anna is worthy of the title.
Now that Anna’s plan has failed, she grits her teeth in hatred.
Mrs. Flack didn’t even bother giving Anna a glance as she turned to leave. “Housekeeper Bronte, please handle this. Mr. Campbell, if you want to leave with Miss Campbell, we won’t keep you any longer.”
Seeing the matter resolved, everyone left with Mrs. Flack.
Caleb said indifferently, “Mr. Campbell, since you can’t handle your own family’s affairs, let’s discuss Mr. Campbell’s case later! Xaviera, let’s go.”
Xaviera softly clung to Caleb’s arm and spoke cutely, “Thank goodness Mrs. Flack came, or else I would have been wrongly accused! I was so scared! Waaah…”
Caleb slightly raised the corner of his mouth, really liking the way Xaviera acted spoiled, as it was adorable.
After everyone left, only the Campbell family remained.
Anna still sat on the ground with tear-streaked cheeks, not understanding how Xaviera could guess her scheme and turn it back on her.
Seeing Jeremy’s furious face, she had a bad feeling and trembled as she tried to explain, “Dad, I really didn’t lie, you believe …”
Slap!
Jeremy raised his hand and gave Anna a heavy slap, leaving a clear palm print on her smooth, white cheek.
This was the first time Jeremy had hit Anna, using all his strength, causing her to spit blood from her mouth.
“Jeremy! Have you gone mad?” Nidya Hughes screamed in shock.
Jeremy roared, “I’m mad? I think this traitorous girl is mad! Adrian is still in police custody, but she had to go stir up trouble with Xaviera! Is she out of her mind? How could our Campbell family have such a stupid and clumsy daughter?”
“You kept saying she hit you, but there isn’t even a single mark on your face. You couldn’t even come up with a convincing lie. She didn’t even hit you, and yet you insisted she did in front of everyone, isn’t that like lifting a rock only to smash your own foot? You’re as stupid as a pig! Get out of here right now!”
Anna sobbed, “Dad, my sister …”
“Anna, stop talking,” Nidya’s eyes were full of warning, and then spoke softly to comfort her.
“You were wrong this time. I know you dislike Xaviera, but you shouldn’t have been so impatient. This is the Flack family, with so many eyes watching. You insisted that she hit you, I don’t even know how to explain it for you.”
Nidya looked at her flushed cheek with great pity, “Don’t ever act so rashly again.”
Anna clenched her teeth, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She had no choice but to swallow the bitterness, with nobody believing Xaviera really hit her.
Anna wanted to explain further, but before she could open her mouth, a servant came over and whispered, “Miss Campbell, the Madame has instructed for you to leave as soon as possible. If you’re ready, please come with me!”
Anna almost couldn’t catch her breath.
By tomorrow, the news of her being kicked out of the Flack family banquet would probably spread throughout the upper class. How could she continue to socialize in the noble lady circle then?
Anna’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Xaviera! Just wait for me!
…
The next day.
After the banquet ended, Xaviera watched as Jeremy and Nidya got into their car, with Nidya still glaring at her fiercely.
“All of the Flack family’s guests already know about what happened last night. The Campbell family will definitely hold a grudge against you. Despite knowing that Anna set you up, they still blame you,” Caleb said, opening the car door for Xaviera.
Xaviera wasn’t surprised. The Campbell couple’s favoritism towards Anna wasn’t a secret, but this would probably make Anna quiet down for a while.
After the two returned to Lowen Clubhouse, Xaviera noticed that Caleb’s expression seemed somewhat cold.
