Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband-Chapter 577 - : She Actually Came to Libanan!
Chapter 577: Chapter 577: She Actually Came to Libanan!
“This emerald ring is not only valuable, but also a meaningful birthday gift from Madam Russell to Anna. Can she really have the heart to steal it? It’s something that Miss Campbell of the wealthy family should wear. Does she even deserve to have it?”
Everyone loudly mocked her, and the store employees also curiously gathered around.
Anna’s lips trembled, “Xaviera, why… would you do this? Fine, I won’t tell Mom and Dad, and I won’t let everyone spread the word either.”
“I can give you anything else, but this is a birthday gift from grandma, and it has a special meaning to me. If you like it, I can ask grandma to send you one too, but… don’t do this again in the future.”
“You are a daughter of the Campbell family, and your words and actions represent the Campbell family.”
Anna looked full of disappointment and helplessly sighed, “Everyone, I’m sorry for making you all worried because of me. Please forget about this matter.”
Xaviera couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity. On the surface, Anna was defending her, but in reality, she was consolidating Xaviera’s guilt while appearing magnanimous by asking everyone not to spread the word.
“Miss Campbell is really kind-hearted.”
“Mrs. Russell is known to be resolute and decisive. If she knew that her birthday gift to her granddaughter had been stolen, she would definitely investigate it thoroughly.”
“Tsk, tsk, that’s the Russell family! A wealthy family among wealthy families.” freewebnσvel.cøm
Anna lowered her gaze, smiling triumphantly.
So what if she married Caleb Mamet, she would still be humiliated and ruined. Perhaps after today, Caleb would loathe her and eventually abandon her.
How could the Campbell family tolerate a woman who had lost Caleb and tarnished her reputation?
Anna gently comforted her, “Xaviera, don’t worry, I’ve asked them not to spread this. When I see my grandma, I’ll ask her to send you a similar gift, alright?”
Caleb’s phone vibrated.
The man slightly raised the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the person he was waiting for was already here.
At this time, Sara and Anna played along, one loudly accusing and the other pretending to be tolerant.
“Cousin, why are you being so polite to her! She knew this was a birthday gift from Madam Russell, yet she still stole it in public. She must be jealous of you and wanted to see you frantically looking for the lost item!”
“Xaviera, you’re just an adopted daughter, you should know your place. How dare you compete with Miss Campbell? Staying in the Campbell family is already an honor for you. Don’t be ungrateful!”
Anna gently said, “Sara, don’t be silly. Xaviera grew up in the countryside and wasn’t taught many things. It’s only natural for her not to understand. She’ll learn in the future.”
“Xaviera, be polite when you meet grandma. She’s very nice and always kind to her younger generation. If you want to see her, I can take you there. As long as you ask for a gift, she won’t refuse.”
Anna smirked in satisfaction. At this moment, Xaviera must be feeling wronged, being accused by everyone even though she did not steal anything. Wanting to meet her own grandmother, yet she had to go through Anna. Xaviera was such a failure as the ‘real daughter’!
“Miss Campbell!”
A crisp, cold yet dignified female voice suddenly came from the door.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Steve Price had run to the door, pushed it open, and over a dozen bodyguards quickly rushed in. They stood in two lines, clearing a wide path.
An elegant and beautiful elderly woman walked in, leaning on a cane. The pressure her entire being exuded made everyone in the room shudder.
The old lady’s sharp gaze fell on Anna, and she slammed her cane heavily on the ground.
Anna’s body trembled, her face turning pale from fright.
She… she really came to Libanan?
Anna originally thought Mrs. Russell’s decision to come was just a casual remark, never expecting her to actually show up. Even though she had a poor relationship with the Campbell family, why did she come? Was it… because of Xaviera?
“Anna Campbell, you don’t even dare to say a word when you see me?”
The whole room fell silent. Anna’s body stiffened, and her heartbeats seemed to stop.
The others puzzledly asked, “Who is it? Why is Anna so scared?”
Sara looked at the old lady and felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen her for the moment.
