Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Making the Best of a Mistake
Nidya Hughes continued, âAlthough the Campbell family isnât a top wealthy family, they can definitely afford to raise two daughters. Whatâs wrong with letting Xaviera be the second Miss Campbell? Would I treat my own daughter badly? She used to live in slums, and now she lives in the Campbell Villa, which is already a hundred times better for her. Why is it that when she comes back, she has to drive Anna away?â
âMoreover, Anna is the top noble lady in Lokio. If people know that she isnât our biological daughter, where should the Campbell family put their face? How can Anna hold her head up and live as a person?â
âSince we had mistakenly taken the wrong child back then, why not let the mistake be and let Xaviera live a good life apart from being the Miss Campbell? Apart from Miss Campbellâs identity, she will have everything that Anna had, and I will definitely not treat her unfairly. Why does she have to compete with Anna for her identity? Canât she be more generous?â
âAnna is a top noble lady. She excels in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, cultural knowledge, social etiquette, and dancing. What is not top-notch?â
âXaviera grew up in the countryside. She has never attended banquets, chosen gowns, known about high-end brands, so as Miss Campbell, she can only bring shame to us!â
In front of everyone, Nidya Hughes blurted out all her inner thoughts.
The whole room was silent.
Mrs. Russell looked at her coldly, and in the silence, applauded sarcastically.
âWhat a great idea to âlet the mistake beâ! You mean, although Xaviera is your biological daughter, returning to the Campbell family now is already her honor, and yet Anna, who has been raised in luxury since her youth, cannot suffer the slightest wrong. Is that it?â
Mrs. Russell waved her hand, âJulian, announce immediately that the Russell family and the Campbell family will sever all relations from today, and Xaviera is now the Miss Russell!â
Nidya Hughes clenched her teeth. Even if her daughter was going to return to the Russell family, it should have been Anna. After all, they had watched her grow up, while Xaviera was just a wild girl.
Mrs. Russellâs voice was indifferent: âNidya Hughes, do you have a heart? Your biological daughter, Xaviera was swapped by Annaâs birth mother, causing you both to be separated. Now that the culprit is still living in the Campbell household, and Anna remains unaffected.â
âYou think that Xaviera should be grateful for returning to the Campbell family in your heart, and why does she dare to have other demands? This is how you are as a mother!â
Nidya Hughes cried out unwillingly, âThis has nothing to do with Anna!â
âWhat about her birth mother?â
Mrs. Russell slammed the table heavily. Her eyes were filled with anger, and at this moment, she couldnât wait to slap Nidya Hughes and wake up her foolish daughter.
âWhat about the servant who swapped Xaviera and her own daughter? You didnât punish her all because of Anna. Instead, you let her live in the Lokio Villa. And now, her biological daughter, Anna, is occupying the identity of Miss Campbell, enjoying everything that originally belonged to Xaviera, and even trying to frame her! What kind of logic is that?!â
Nidya Hughesâs face was pale.
Itâs not Annaâs fault! She was just afraid that Xaviera would take away what she had!
Jeremy Campbell stood aside, feeling turmoil in his heart.
At this moment, he couldnât help but feel a little dazed. Although he disliked that Xaviera grew up in the countryside, she was his biological daughter after all. If Xaviera had been raised by their side since childhood, perhaps she would also be an excellent noble lady praised by everyone.
Seeing the expression in Jeremy Campbellâs eyes, Anna trembled inside, her eyes filled with tears as she softly called, âDadâŠâ
Before she finished, Mrs. Russell rushed up and slapped Anna hard.
Nidya Hughes roared, âAnna!â
âFeeling pity? Do you know how Xaviera has lived these years? When she was mistreated by her stepmother in the Evans family, kicked out of the house, and homeless, why didnât you feel sad? Donât forget, she is your biological daughter!â
Mrs. Russell ordered, âCome on! Hit her!â
As the words fell, two bodyguards walked over, one holding Annaâs face and the other slapping her hard.
Mrs. Russell casually said, âDoes it hurt? Everything you are experiencing now, Xaviera has already gone through when she was young, and it was even more painful than this.â
