Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Wanting Both Identity and Shares
Nidya Hughesâ tears fell like broken strings of pearls, âMom! Make them stop! Xaviera is my daughter, and so is Anna, I love them both, but Xaviera has already gone through the most difficult times, and now she has inherited her sisterâs fortune. Why does she have to⊠fight with Anna?â
âXaviera was wronged outside, I will treat her well in the future, just stop hitting Anna!â
âI know Xaviera is my own daughter, and I want to treat her well too, but Anna is my flesh and blood too, how can I bear seeing her being wronged? If I treat Xaviera well, what will happen to Anna? What has she done wrong?â
âAnna has no blood ties with us. If I donât treat her well, what status will she have in this family? So, I have to favor her.â
Since Xaviera has already suffered for so many years, at this point, whatâs the problem in making way for Anna? Hadnât she already gotten used to it?
âFine.â Mrs. Russell sneered coldly, âTake your good daughter and get out of the Russell house!â
Jeremy Campbellâs face changed drastically, and he rushed in front of Mrs. Russell, âMom, Xaviera is my daughter, Miss Campbell. How can I abandon her? At the birthday banquet, I will announce her identity so she wonât be wronged.â
As soon as the words fell, Xaviera, arm in arm with Caleb Mamet, slowly approached.
Jeremyâs mind went blank, as Mrs. Russellâs words echoed in his ears. If they didnât want Xaviera, the Russell family would sever ties with the Campbell family. The Campbell familyâs business had relied on the Russell family and Hughes family for the past few years. Losing the Russell family would be like losing an arm.
He frantically rushed in front of Xaviera, âXaviera, come home with Daddy, alright?â
Nidya calmed down, knowing that losing the Russell familyâs support would be a great loss to the Campbell family, and their status would be far from what it once was. She urged through gritted teeth, âXaviera, come home with us. As long as you donât fight with Anna, I will love you.â
Caleb Mamet greeted Mrs. Russell with a slight nod, then turned his dark expression towards her, casually saying, âMrs. Campbell.â
The manâs voice was flat, but the palpable coldness radiating from it sent chills down oneâs spine.
Caleb adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and his thin lips curled into a cold smile, âYou can take Xaviera back to your house too.â
The worry in Nidyaâs eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by disdain and ridicule. Sure enough, Xaviera couldnât refuse the identity of the Campbell familyâs daughter.
Although Xaviera was now married to Caleb Mamet and had become the highly respected Mrs. Mamet, how could she establish a firm footing in the Mamet family without the backing of a wealthy parentsâ family? At least if one day Caleb abandoned her, she could still return to the Campbell family and live a worry-free life as a noble lady.
Caleb Mamet glanced coldly around, clearly capturing the ridicule in Nidyaâs eyes, and lazily opened his mouth, âHowever, I do have a few conditions.â
Jeremy Campbell responded immediately, âMr. Caleb Mamet, please go ahead.â
Calebâs expression was indifferent, âMrs. Mamet is your biological daughter. If she returns to the Campbell family, it must be as Miss Campbell, otherwise, there will be no talk.â
Nidya reluctantly protested, âNoâŠâ
âMr. Mamet, I agree. What else do you want?â Jeremy interrupted hastily, then yelled at Nidya, âAre you out of your mind? If the Russell family cuts off ties with our family, we are done for! The family head will never spare you!â
Caleb Mamet spoke up, âReplace the maid who switched my wifeâs name, and deal with her. If the Campbell family doesnât want to be the villain, Iâm willing to take on the responsibility.â
Anna Campbellâs eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly shook her head.
Jeremyâs face showed difficulty, knowing that if they handed the maid over to Caleb Mamet, her fate would either be prison or a secret disposal by him, both of which were tragic outcomes.
Caleb spoke slowly, âThirdly, Adrian Campbell is your biological son. I donât care how many shares he has, but Anna is just an adopted daughter. She is not worthy of having 30% of the shares. Thus, her shares must be transferred to my wife.â

Anna and Nidya looked up in disbelief, while Jeremy wore a troubled expression.
