Chapter 575: Chapter 575: This set of jewelry was yours in the first place!
No need for Anna Campbell to speak, someone stood up for her, and no one would think she targeted Xaviera Evans.
As soon as the words fell, Sara Wendleton took out her bag first and showed the contents in public. The other daughters cooperated in searching their bodies, but still didn’t find the ring.
“How is it possible? We don’t have it on us, and neither do the shop assistants. Where could the ring be?”
“Things don’t just disappear for no reason. Could it be dropped in a corner?”
“That’s not right! We’ve all searched our bodies, but there’s still one person who hasn’t!”
Everyone’s eyes fell on Xaviera and Caleb Mamet, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Anna was silent for a moment and pretended to be angry: “How dare you! Is this gentleman someone you can offend?”
She said respectfully, “Let me introduce you. This gentleman is Mr. Caleb Mamet of the Mamet Corporation, my sister’s husband. Their net worth is considerable, how could they possibly steal my ring? Don’t talk nonsense here!”
People were stunned for a few seconds and then looked at Xaviera and Caleb in shock.
Caleb Mamet? Mrs. Mamet?
Is this the legendary god-like man Caleb Mamet? What’s more surprising is that Xaviera is actually his wife?
If that’s the case, they certainly wouldn’t steal Anna’s necklace. Caleb’s wealth is enough to rival a country. He wouldn’t be interested in a ring worth 10 million dollars, let alone one hundred million dollars or one billion dollars.
Just as everyone was about to apologize, Sara suddenly snorted coldly: “So what if she is Mrs. Mamet? Who doesn’t know that she was just a country bumpkin before she married Mr. Caleb? No one taught her properly since she was young, so she developed a character of stealing and being unruly. Stealing is not for money, but mainly because she’s used to it. Even if she becomes Mrs. Mamet, she can’t change this bad habit!”
Caleb’s brow furrowed deeply.
“You’re tired of living!”
However, Xaviera was not annoyed and whispered, “Something’s not right! Anna knows I’m Mrs. Mamet, and I obviously wouldn’t steal her things. Why would she try to trap me in public? She’s not afraid of being exposed?”
Caleb explained softly, “It’s not about stealing because of lack of money, but because the ring is a gift from Madam Russell, your mother and Nina Hughes’s mother.”
Xaviera fell silent, feeling an indescribable sense of confusion. When it came to Nina and Jeremy Campbell, she felt no closeness at all; but when it came to Madam Russell, she felt an inexplicable intimacy. Perhaps this was the connection of blood.
Caleb continued, “When Madam Russell married Mr. Hughes, the whole Lokio city was excited. After their divorce, the Russells were very concerned about their two daughters.”
“However, Nidya Hughes has always been closer to the Hughes family and gets along well with her father’s mistress, which saddens Madam Russell. So Madam Russell is more fond of Mrs. Nina Hughes.”
“But after all, Nidya is Madam Russell’s biological daughter, so of course she still loves her. Although Nina doesn’t interact with Nidya, she orders people to find you as soon as possible.”
Caleb’s mouth twitched, “So what do you think, as the daughter of the Russell family, why would Madam Russell give such a valuable gift to Anna, her adopted daughter, and not to you, her biological granddaughter?”
Xaviera’s heart trembled and she gradually became suspicious.
Caleb’s voice was hoarse: “Because…this set of jewelry was originally meant for you.”
“Madam Russell loves Nina the most. Since you grew up with her, there’s no way she’d raise a bad child. Furthermore, you share a blood relationship with Madam Russell. Most importantly, Madam Russell has never liked Anna, and even though she might send her birthday gifts out of face-saving, she would never give her valuable items.”
“Now that Anna has received this set of jewelry, she has the nerve to accuse you of stealing. Interesting!”
At the same time, Anna was also shocked: “Xaviera wouldn’t steal! You can’t suspect her!”
Xaviera was speechless.
Now everyone at the scene has searched their bodies, only she and Caleb haven’t been searched. No one dares to say that Caleb stole anything, so that only left her.
If she insisted on not letting everyone search her, the seed of suspicion would be sown in everyone’s hearts. Anna’s insistence on defending her seemed like a basin of dirty water pouring directly onto her.
