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 didnât find the ring.
âHow is it possible? We donât have it on us, and neither do the shop assistants. Where could the ring be?â
âThings donât just disappear for no reason. Could it be dropped in a corner?â
âThatâs not right! Weâve all searched our bodies, but thereâs still one person who hasnât!â
Everyoneâs eyes fell on Xaviera and Caleb Mamet, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Anna was silent for a moment and pretended to be angry: âHow dare you! Is this gentleman someone you can offend?â
She said respectfully, âLet me introduce you. This gentleman is Mr. Caleb Mamet of the Mamet Corporation, my sisterâs husband. Their net worth is considerable, how could they possibly steal my ring? Donât talk nonsense here!â
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? Whatâs more surprising is that Xaviera is actually his wife?
If thatâs the case, they certainly wouldnât steal Annaâs necklace. Calebâs wealth is enough to rival a country. He wouldnât 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: âSo what if she is Mrs. Mamet? Who doesnât 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 sheâs used to it. Even if she becomes Mrs. Mamet, she canât change this bad habit!â
Calebâs brow furrowed deeply.
âYouâre tired of living!â
However, Xaviera was not annoyed and whispered, âSomethingâs not right! Anna knows Iâm Mrs. Mamet, and I obviously wouldnât steal her things. Why would she try to trap me in public? Sheâs not afraid of being exposed?â
Caleb explained softly, âItâs not about stealing because of lack of money, but because the ring is a gift from Madam Russell, your mother and Nina Hughesâs mother.â
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, âWhen Madam Russell married Mr. Hughes, the whole Lokio city was excited. After their divorce, the Russells were very concerned about their two daughters.â
âHowever, Nidya Hughes has always been closer to the Hughes family and gets along well with her fatherâs mistress, which saddens Madam Russell. So Madam Russell is more fond of Mrs. Nina Hughes.â
âBut after all, Nidya is Madam Russellâs biological daughter, so of course she still loves her. Although Nina doesnât interact with Nidya, she orders people to find you as soon as possible.â
Calebâs mouth twitched, âSo 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?â
Xavieraâs heart trembled and she gradually became suspicious.
Calebâs voice was hoarse: âBecauseâŠthis set of jewelry was originally meant for you.â
âMadam Russell loves Nina the most. Since you grew up with her, thereâs no way sheâd 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.â
âNow that Anna has received this set of jewelry, she has the nerve to accuse you of stealing. Interesting!â
At the same time, Anna was also shocked: âXaviera wouldnât steal! You canât suspect her!â
Xaviera was speechless.
Now everyone at the scene has searched their bodies, only she and Caleb havenât 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 everyoneâs hearts. Annaâs insistence on defending her seemed like a basin of dirty water pouring directly onto her.
