Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Who Gave Mrs. Campbell Confidence?

Everyone fell silent, their faces filled with embarrassment, and Mrs. Flack’s face flushed red with anger at the head of the table.

Is Nidya Hughes a fool?

Everyone had heard the earlier recording; Nidya herself had clearly urged Xaviera Evans to curry favor with Mr. Caleb Mamet. Now, seeing that Mr. Caleb Mamet had agreed, she pushed all the blame on Xaviera. This was disgraceful.

Nidya Hughes saw Xaviera Evans not arguing, thinking that she had admitted to this blame. Just when she assumed the matter was over, she heard Xaviera start to speak slowly.

“I didn’t expect my mother would also know that my brother did something wrong, hiring someone to murder somebody! This is a punishable crime.”

She tilted her head, smiling, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, let it be if it has come to this.”

Caleb Mamet nodded and then gave an indifferent order, “Alright! Steve Price, proceed to sue Adrian Campbell immediately.”

The expression on Nidya Hughes’s face froze in an instant.

She didn’t… mean this; she just wanted to show everyone that Xaviera Evans had no shame, unlike her daughter Anna, who was well-behaved, graceful, calm and reserved. She didn’t expect Mr. Caleb Mamet to sue Adrian Campbell again.

Nidya Hughes objected, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, Adrian had nothing to do with this. You already agreed, you can’t…”

“Didn’t you just say, my relationship with my brother was bad, I only approached Mr. Caleb Mamet to seduce him, not for my brother? You even called me shameless. Since you think so, why should I pay for you?”

Nidya Hughes called out, “Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak!”

Xaviera Evans responded indifferently, “You said let me please Mr. Caleb Mamet, I did as you said, Mr. Caleb Mamet also agreed not to prosecute, but you backtracked and called me shameless. Isn’t this a bit too much?”

Seeing her still retaliate, Nidya Hughes yelled out in exasperation, “Can’t you shut up! I’m talking with Mr. Caleb Mamet! What’s your place to interfere! Mr. Caleb Mamet agreed not to pursue, that’s because he respects the Campbell family. What does it have to do with you? Stop giving yourself undue credit!”

As soon as her words fell, Caleb Mamet followed up: “Of course it has to do with her.”

Nidya Hughes widened her eyes, Anna Campbell also couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.

“Mrs. Campbell, surely you’re not under the impression that I let this matter slide because of the Campbell family, or because of your… foster daughter?” said Caleb Mamet, sounding icy cold.

“No, isn’t it?”

Nidya Hughes blurted out without thinking, “How could such an outstanding man like Caleb Mamet be attracted to a wild girl like Xaviera Evans who grew up in the countryside? If he were to like a woman, it had to be a well-bred lady like Anna.”

Therefore, Nidya Hughes assumed Caleb Mamet agreed to let Adrian Campbell off was because of Anna Campbell.

Caleb Mamet coldly glanced at a confident looking Nidya Hughes and scoffed, “I wonder who gave Mrs. Campbell such confidence?”

“Then, then Mr. Caleb Mamet’s agreement not to prosecute is because of…”

Just as Nidya Hughes was about to finish, Sean Price coldly interjected, “As our president said, he decided to let it go entirely because Miss Evans asked him to.”

Nidya Hughes stumbled emotionally, “How can this be! Mr. Caleb Mamet, you should be trying to cover for Xaviera, don’t speak up for her anymore, I’ll just take her away without tangling with you, and as for her reputation being tarnished, she was the one secretly seducing you…”

“Mrs. Campbell, when our madam and our president meet, how it could be seen as secretive?” Sean Price questioned, with an icy gaze, “What’s wrong with husband and wife attending banquet together? I really cannot comprehend Mrs. Campbell’s point. Or does Mrs. Campbell believe that only your foster daughter and our president being together seems most appropriate, and that if any other woman approaches president, it’s seduction?”

On hearing this, Jeremy Campbell shuddered.

He exchanged glances with Nidya Hughes, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.

“Your madam? Who? You mean Xaviera Evans?”

Nidya Hughes asked incredulously, thinking she was hallucinating, “That’s impossible! Mr. Caleb Mamet, you can’t say she’s Mrs. Mamet just to protect her, only our Anna is suitable to be Mrs. Mamet…”

“Shut up!”

Jeremy Campbell roared, and then nervously explained to Caleb Mamet, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, my wife is drunk, so she said what she should not, please don’t take it to heart…I…I didn’t expect that Xaviera would be your wife, then we’re all family…”
