Chapter 664: Her Death Anniversary

Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Her Death Anniversary

Xaviera suppressed her anger and asked with sadness, “Mrs. Campbell, let me ask you again, is this banquet really a matchmaking one? Is it held for the purpose of finding a suitable husband for Anna?”

Although the invitation didn’t say so, everyone knew it was a matchmaking banquet for Anna, and they were happy to join in the fun.

“What are you implying! Xaviera, just because Anna is adopted, you can’t be sarcastic like that. What’s wrong with Mrs. Campbell holding a banquet for Anna?” Sara Wendleton said indignantly.

Xaviera’s gaze turned cold, “Mrs. Campbell, you said you were close to my adoptive mother and wanted to fulfill her last wish by keeping her inheritance safe, right?”

Nidya looked up, meeting Xaviera’s chilly gaze. Suddenly, she felt uneasy, as if a bad premonition was creeping up on her. She was supposed to be commemorating a deceased person – could it be Nina?

So today was the anniversary of Nina’s death?

Just as Nidya was about to speak up, Xaviera interrupted her first, “Mrs. Campbell, today is actually the anniversary of my adoptive mother, Mrs. Nina Hughes’ death! You claimed to have a good relationship with her and wanted to fulfill her last wish by returning her inheritance, yet you couldn’t even remember her death anniversary!”

“At this moment, Mrs. Russell and Mr. Russell have already arrived in Libanan. They didn’t attend the banquet because they went to pay respects to my adoptive mother! How could you, as her sister, hold a matchmaking banquet for Anna on this day?”

Xaviera’s eyes were full of mockery, her voice icy, “Mrs. Campbell, do you really care about your sister? Or could it be that all you care about is her inheritance and not the person herself?”

The banquet hall fell into a deathly silence. Nidya’s face turned ashen. She hadn’t realized that today was the anniversary of Nina’s death, and Xaviera was using that fact to humiliate her.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Russell was very fond of Nina, and Mr. Russell also highly regarded this younger sister. They all went to worship Nina, but her dear sister Nidya didn’t know about it and held a matchmaking banquet instead? Could it be that she was only after the inheritance?

If Xaviera hadn’t shown up, no one would have known about this matter. The Campbell family seemed so joyful, while only Xaviera grieved for her adoptive mother alone.

Anna’s face changed dramatically, and she said, her eyes teary, “Sister, it’s all my fault. I was the one who begged Mother to hold this banquet for me. Please don’t blame her!”

“Besides, we didn’t know today was Aunt’s death anniversary. If we had known, we definitely wouldn’t have held this banquet.”

Nidya lowered her head, her face pale, “Xaviera, we haven’t been in touch with the Russell family for years. You never told me about my sister’s death anniversary, and I didn’t know what day it was today! It’s my fault, I should’ve asked you earlier!”

Adrian immediately chimed in, “That’s right! You blame our mother for forgetting the anniversary, but you never told her, did you? Now you come to accuse us, it seems like you just can’t stand to see our family happy!”

Nidya’s eyes were filled with resentment. She knew she probably wouldn’t get Nina’s inheritance today, so she thought she might as well not hold back any longer. She was determined to make Xaviera utterly disgraced!

Then Nidya cried out, full of sorrow, “Xaviera, I know you still blame me! In your heart, I don’t deserve to be a mother. I haven’t been in contact with my sister for years because she didn’t want to be close to me, and she always kept me at arm’s length.”

“My ignorance of her death anniversary led to your accusations! In your heart, there’s only your adoptive mother, not me, your biological mother! I want to be good to you, I want to like you, but just like my sister, you don’t want to be close to me!”

Everyone listened to Nidya’s outcry, feeling sorry for her, “Miss Evans, no matter what, Mrs. Campbell is your biological mother. Even if you have grievances, should you consider her feelings?”

Seeing that everyone was speaking up for her, Nidya’s face eased a bit. These people were all aristocratic noble families who had close ties with her, naturally they would help her. How could Xaviera compete against her?

Nidya sobbed, “Xaviera, I don’t blame you for attacking me because of your sister. Nobody wants a repeat of what happened back then. I’ve been suffering all these years. Why can’t you let go of the hatred in your heart? What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?”

“If Mrs. Campbell doesn’t know what she did wrong, I can tell her.” A cold male voice sounded, and Caleb Mamet, wearing a black suit with a serious expression, walked slowly towards them.
