Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Not a Single Guest Came
Jeremy Campbell turned around and saw that the banquet hall for Anna on the other side was packed with guests, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
If not for the sake of the Russell family and Caleb Mamet, he wouldnât have come to Xaviera Evansâ birthday banquet. Now, even if the banquet hall was empty, he couldnât just leave. He asked impatiently, âWho has arrived?â
The butler immediately said, âPeople from the Salma family have arrived.â
Jeremyâs face softened a bit, âAt least someone is here, so Xaviera wonât lose too much face. Actually, it doesnât matter if she loses, as long as she behaves herself, she is still my daughter. The Salma family is close to our Campbell family, let them take their seats.â
Jeremy was afraid that Caleb would blame him for this, so having someone here was better than no one.
Once the guests on Xavieraâs side were seated, he would go to celebrate Annaâs birthday.
At this moment, the butler suddenly spoke awkwardly, âMister, the Salma family sent someone to bring a gift and then went directly to Miss Annaâs banquet hall.â
Xaviera remained indifferent.
Jeremyâs face darkened, suddenly feeling humiliated. Both were his daughters, but why was there such a big difference? Did Xaviera not have a single presentable friend?
At this time, another family entered with a gift in hand, and spoke hesitantly, âIâm really sorry, Mr. Campbell, my daughter is good friends with Miss Anna, she insisted that we attend her birthday banquet, soâŠâ
Jeremy felt depressed in his heart. Was he wrong? Should he have chosen Anna from the beginning? How could Xaviera possibly compare to Anna?
Afterward, several other families arrived, all of whom brought gifts, apologized, and went to Annaâs banquet hall.
Jeremy frowned, âNow, even if Mr. Caleb Mamet and the Russell family blame me, I still have something to say. I gave Xaviera a chance, but she didnât take it. This isnât my fault!â
âEven if I stay on Xavieraâs side, she doesnât have any friends. Forget it, thereâs no point in me staying here. Iâll go over to Annaâs side!â
The butler furrowed his brows, feeling sorry for Xaviera.
There was no comparison between the two daughters. Anna had participated in various banquets since she was young, making friends with noble ladies, while Xaviera had never shown her face in upper-class society. How could she possibly compare to Anna? In the end, it was the Campbell coupleâs favoritism towards their adopted daughter.
Jeremy got up and left directly, but the butler did not move from his spot.
How could none of the Campbell family be present for the birthday of their daughter?
The butler and Nanny Crabtree walked up to Xaviera, âMiss, if they donât come, it doesnât matter. Donât be angry. If you donât mind, Nanny Crabtree and I will stay. What do you think?â
Xaviera smiled slightly, âOf course, that would be great.â

Seeing Jeremy coming from the other banquet hall, Anna and Nidya Hughes revealed triumphant smiles.
Nidya Hughes playfully complained, âHoney, I thought you werenât coming! Anna, I told you your father still cares about you. He just didnât want Xaviera to lose too much face.â
Anna pretended to be concerned, âBut what about my sister? If youâre here with me, there wonât be anyone on her side. Our relationship wasnât that good to begin with, now sheâll hate me even more.â
Jeremy felt a bit annoyed, but seeing the bustling crowd and their laughter, his mood improved slightly. He regretted going to Xavieraâs side earlier, as he wouldnât have been so bothered if he had just come straight to Annaâs side.
âAnna, donât think too much about it. Itâs her own fault. What does it have to do with you!â
When the guests heard Jeremyâs words, they couldnât help but turn to look at the other banquet hall.
âYou should see, even though theyâre both daughters of the Campbell family, not a single guest came to that Missâs birthday banquet!â
âAnna is a top noble lady. She is beautiful and has good connections. Of course, the guests would come to her birthday party. Actually, if the two didnât have to celebrate their birthdays together, I would still attend Xavieraâs birthday just because she is the Campbellâs biological daughter.â
âBut, if I had to choose between the two, I would definitely come to Annaâs side.â
âA biological daughter, huh⊠Well, itâs nothing special in the end!â
