Chapter 573 - 573: No Distinctions between High and Low, Noble and Humble
Chapter 573: Chapter 573: No Distinctions between High and Low, Noble and Humble
It was known that Mrs. Russell and her daughter Nidya Hughes were not on good terms. However, upon finding out that Anna Campbell wasn’t her biological granddaughter, Mrs. Russell immediately issued an order to find the Campbell family’s biological child.
It makes sense that Mrs. Russell would value her true granddaughter highly. So why did she favor Anna so? Treating her differently, making it known to all that both the Russell and Campbell families cherished Anna, while the actual daughter was shunned.
Xaviera didn’t want to see those sickening faces. She tried pulling Caleb Mamet away, wanting to leave.
Then, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind her. It was Anna.
“Xavi? Why are you here too? Don’t go. Don’t you want to see me?”
Everyone followed Anna’s gaze and eventually landed on Xaviera. So, she was the rumored adopted daughter!
Anna bit her lip: “Sister.”
Xaviera paused her steps, snickered.
Was Anna a masochist for enjoying such treatment?
Anna was surrounded by six or seven women, the closest being Sara Wendleton.
At the sight of Xaviera, Sara’s eyes turned crimson, glaring at her ferociously.
“Xaviera, are you deaf? Anna, being Miss Campbell, takes the initiative to talk to you, but you ignore her? You see your sister and don’t even greet her. You’re just like a wild girl from the countryside, lacking manners!”
Anna gently intervened, “Sara, don’t say that, both Xavi and I are daughters of the Campbell family. There’s no distinction of high or low, rich or poor. And I’m her older sister. I should be the one taking care of her.”
Xaviera: “…”
How could there be such a two-faced woman? How could anyone believe her lies?
Sara was unaware of their true identities, but Anna knew it clearly. Yet she claimed there was no high or low, just to show off her magnanimity!
Anna took a few steps forward, her face filled with sadness, “Sister, why did you leave as soon as you saw me? Our parents are very worried about you. You should…”
“Anna is reserving the Jewelry House for a private event. We are not leaving to watch you stage your close-sister drama, are we?”
The manager apologized nervously, “Miss Campbell, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know that this young lady is your sister.”
Anna’s mouth twitched slightly, she hid her facial expressions and barely smiled: “Is that so? I must have misunderstood my sister. I thought she didn’t want to see me!”
She walked over and deliberately bumped into Xaviera, a provocative look on her face, “I did reserve the Jewelry House, and I do not allow outsiders to disturb. But you’re my sister, of course, you can come in.”
“My birthday is coming up. Mom gave me a lot of pocket money. Xavi, you can pick whatever you like, I’ll buy it for you. Mom won’t blame you, don’t worry.”
Xaviera looked at Anna with a nonchalant expression. If they hadn’t been switched, Xaviera would be the esteemed Miss Campbell herself, and Anna might not even have a chance to see her.
The words Anna spoke in public were meant to provoke her. The fake daughter could oppress the true daughter. Was that some sense of accomplishment to Anna?
Trying to show off in front of the real Miss Campbell, she boasted about the pocket money her mom gave her, while the genuine daughter was not cherished by the Campbell family and didn’t even have birthday gifts.
Sara gloated as she watched Xaviera flustered and frustrated.
“Xaviera, remember, you are just an adopted daughter. It was kind of Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Nidya to take you in. But you should never forget your place. Your status is not the same as your cousin’s. For example, if today, your cousin wants this store, Mrs. Nidya would buy it for her. But you, on the other hand, don’t even have a decent piece of jewelry.”
“Mrs. Nidya only has one daughter, whom she has spoiled from the heart since childhood. Once, when your cousin liked a set of clothes, some woman contested it with her. The Campbell family bought the store outright and gave all the clothes to your cousin.”
“And there’s more! A female celebrity publicly ridiculed your cousin’s acting. Mrs. Nidya and your cousin bought the actress’s entertainment company and made her apologize to your cousin in public.”
Sara was brimming with pride: “Your cousin is Miss Campbell, favored by her parents, and also cherished by the Hughes family. But alas, some people have an empty title of ‘Miss Campbell’, yet are not cherished at all.”
