Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Agreeing to the Search

Right after, Sara Wendleton mocked, “Did I say anything wrong? Everyone searched themselves, but she refused. If the ring is not found today, who is the most suspicious? We all know!”

The other daughters couldn’t help but nod their heads.

“Yeah, although Mrs. Mamet couldn’t have possibly stolen anything, everyone else has searched themselves, and only Mrs. Mamet didn’t. If others find out, they will surely suspect her!”

Xaviera chuckled coldly. This group of people claimed not to believe she would steal, but they insisted on searching her. Sure enough, they were the same type of people as Anna Campbell.

“Actually, you guys have a point…” Anna furrowed her brows in difficulty.

“Xaviera, why don’t you just agree to be searched? I believe you didn’t steal anything, but searching is also for proving your innocence to prevent others from suspecting you. What do you think…?”

Xaviera stared at Anna coldly, guessing she was trying to splash dirty water on her.

Seeing Xaviera not speaking, Anna bit her lip, “Xaviera, if you don’t want to, let’s just forget about it. They are my friends anyway, and they won’t say anything.”

“I agree.”

At this point, Caleb Mamet, who had been silent all along, glanced at his watch and suddenly spoke up.

“Miss Campbell has a point. Everyone else has been searched, but if Xaviera remains unsearched, she will be suspect. With that being the case, let’s go ahead and search her.”

Caleb agreed?

Anna widened her eyes, not able to understand Caleb’s thoughts for a moment. Was he certain Xaviera wouldn’t steal, or did he not really favor Xaviera that much?

No matter what the reason, Caleb’s agreement meant the search was only natural.

Watching the coldness in Caleb’s eyes, Anna’s heart shuddered involuntarily, but at this point, she couldn’t care about that much. The Russell family was about to arrive, and she would make Xaviera disgrace herself in front of everyone!

She would let everyone know that Xaviera had developed a bad habit and was a useless thief. She was not worthy of being Miss Campbell!

Whether it was the Russell, Hughes, or Campbell families, they would all see her as the apple of their eye, and all the property would belong to her. Xaviera wouldn’t get a penny!

Anna slowly walked up to Xaviera and reached into her bag, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

The next second…

Anna frowned, her face pale. Her body went soft, and she retreated a few steps, staring at Xaviera incredulously.

Xaviera was instantly speechless, wondering what Anna was pretending to be!

Seeing Anna’s pale face, the crowd exclaimed, “Look at Anna’s expression! Could the ring really be on Xaviera?”

“Even with so much money, she still steals other people’s rings. This is really a disgrace to Mr. Caleb Mamet!”

“Sara was right. Even though Xaviera has married such a handsome and wealthy man like Mr. Caleb Mamet, she still can’t change the habit of petty thievery and can’t control her hands.”

Sarcastic glances fell upon Xaviera as Anna’s voice trembled with disbelief, “Xaviera, how could you…?”

Anna’s soul trembled and her feet almost tripped. She stared at Xaviera unbelievingly.

“You, why… Impossible! You couldn’t have stolen anything! I remember now, my ring wasn’t lost, it must still be in my bag!”

Her weak explanation and panicked appearance only confirmed Xaviera’s guilt, telling everyone that she had found the lost ring in Xaviera’s bag.

“Xaviera, it was you who stole it, right!? You are already Miss Drew of the Campbell family, and yet you still committed such petty thievery. Are you even worthy of being a Campbell daughter!?”

Anna quickly stopped them, “Stop talking, Xaviera is my sister. Just forget about it and pretend you don’t know. I had forgotten, I asked Xaviera to keep the ring earlier, she didn’t steal it.”

“Mrs. Mamet, what else do you have to say? You stole someone’s ring and now you want Anna to cover it up for you?”

“How could the Campbell family adopt such a woman? She’s clearly stolen something, but still denies it. That’s too much!”

“No wonder Miss Campbell is a top noble lady. Being a Campbell daughter, she doesn’t hold grudges with her adopted sister, and even cares about her reputation, claiming she had given her the ring already. Shameless Xaviera!”
