Chapter 663: Destroying the Banquet

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Destroying the Banquet

She was lost in the outside world, and if it wasn’t for her mother, she would have been sent to an orphanage long ago. If it wasn’t for her grandfather, how could she return to Libanan unscathed?

Because she was lucky, she had a mother, a grandfather, and four brothers, and after she came of age, she met Caleb. What if she wasn’t so lucky? She would have died in a cold night, in the hands of Rose, or in that freezing cold village.

Xaviera Evans didn’t like to explain these things to strangers, and she never cared about whether the Campbell family had any feelings for her. But Nina Hughes wanting to use her mother to force her submission was absolutely impossible!

Nina Hughes’s face was full of sadness, and couldn’t help but let her gaze flow, “Forget it, let’s not talk about Xaviera. Maybe she just happened to wear black. Anyway, it’s good that she’s here now. Sit down quickly!”

Xaviera sneered in her heart and then became extremely excited: “Mother, I really want to thank you. I thought you had forgotten, but you remember and even invited so many noble ladies and daughters to attend. I was wrong before. I shouldn’t have blamed you…”

The crowd was puzzled. What was Xaviera talking about! Everyone knew that this banquet was supposed to be a matchmaking event for Anna Campbell, and it was organized by her to cheer up Nina Hughes. But what does this have to do with Xaviera?

Nina Hughes was also puzzled. Could it be that Xaviera could not bear the pressure from society and had already softened? If she was willing to bow her head, did it mean she was willing to return Nina’s inheritance?

After thinking for a moment, Nina pretended to be affectionate, “Xaviera, it’s good that you don’t blame your mother. When my sister passed away, she hoped that you could come home and let us recognize each other as mother and daughter. Now it seems her wish has been fulfilled!”

She deliberately emphasized the word “wish”, and Xaviera instantly understood her meaning. Her eyes filled with tears, “Mrs. Campbell, you still remembered my foster mother. She would be very happy if she knew. In that case, the inheritance left by my foster mother should be given to you for safekeeping.”

Nina Hughes did not expect things to go so smoothly, and could hardly stop herself from laughing. This little bitch is really stupid, giving up the inheritance so easily. She had thought that they would have to fight for a few more rounds!

Nina Hughes’s whole body trembled with excitement, her voice suppressing her joy, “Xaviera, you are really sensible. So… so where is the inheritance now…”

Xaviera looked indifferent and smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Campbell. I see that all the guests have arrived. Why don’t we worship first? You have prepared the sacrificial items, haven’t you?”

Just as Nina Hughes was about to answer, her eyes suddenly widened.

Wait! What? Worship?

Sara Wendleton’s face became stiff, and she then roared in anger, “Xaviera, what’s wrong with you! Why are you such a killjoy?! Everyone came to attend the banquet and was quite happy. Why are you bringing up dead people?!”

“Xaviera, what are you talking about? Who are we worshipping?”

“When Mrs. Campbell sent the invitation, didn’t she say that she wanted to find a suitable husband for Anna Campbell? How did it turn into worshipping the dead?”

“Yes! If I had known that attending the banquet was for this kind of thing, I definitely wouldn’t have come. Xaviera is really too much! She’s clearly here to deliberately destroy the banquet!”

Nina Hughes glared at Xaviera, what exactly does this little bitch want to do?!

She held this banquet to find a boyfriend with a prominent family background for Anna, and now it was all ruined by Xaviera!

Nina Hughes forcefully suppressed her anger, “Xaviera, stop making a scene. We can talk about anything after the banquet is over. Even if you have grievances, you should not behave like this on such occasions.”

Anna Campbell also advised earnestly, “Xaviera, you don’t live at home, so you might not know that mom has been in a bad mood lately. This banquet was held to make her happy. Can you please stop making her angry?”

Who knew that Xaviera would suddenly widen her eyes in disbelief, taking a few steps back. Her eyes were red, and tears fell like rain, her voice trembling, “This is really a banquet?”

Sara Wendleton’s face was full of contempt as she shouted, “What else could it be! We came here to drink and chat! We came to have fun! Not to worship the dead!”

People sneered at Xaviera’s actions, thinking that even if she caused a fuss in private, it would be enough. But now, in front of everyone, she dared to cause such a scene, wouldn’t she be even more outrageous in the future?!

Xaviera’s tears fell one by one, not faking it, but truly sad for her mother. Nina Hughes didn’t care about her sister at all. What she had her eyes on was her mother’s inheritance.
