Chapter 572: Chapter 572: The Real and Fake Daughter’s Birthday Banquet

The friend curiously asked, “Anna, I heard the Campbell family adopted a girl, who’s already twenty years old. Why did they choose to adopt such an older girl? Is she an illegitimate daughter or something?”

“Whether she’s an illegitimate daughter or not, she shouldn’t be competing with Sara for things! That’s so impolite!”

Anna Campbell showed a helpless expression and pretended to be magnanimous. “Sara, I didn’t expect Xaviera to be so excessive. I apologize on her behalf. Please don’t be upset.”

“Cousin, why are you apologizing? This has nothing to do with you!”

Anna smiled slightly. “Sara, see if there’s any jewelry you like. I’ll give it to you as an apology from Xaviera.”

Then, Miss Campbell waved her hand and ordered, “I have rented this store for today. Don’t let anyone disturb us.”

…

At this moment, Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans had just arrived at the Jewelry House, only to be met by the flustered manager. “Mr. Caleb Mamet, someone has already rented the store. We had no choice. Please forgive us.”

Steve Price was displeased. “Are you kidding? I made a reservation by phone yesterday and paid the deposit. Why did you agree so eagerly then and now tell us that it’s rented out?”

The manager, sweating cold bullets, hurriedly explained, “Our staff didn’t know about your reservation, and someone happened to rent the place, so… I’m really sorry. This is our negligence, Mr. Mamet. We will refund you immediately, or…”

Xaviera didn’t mind; it was just a shop, and they could come back any day. So she looked at Caleb Mamet. “Let’s go somewhere else first and come back later.”

Caleb Mamet’s eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Sean Price. As the party prepared to leave, a woman’s voice suddenly came from the store. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

“My birthday is coming up, and I thank you all for coming to attend my birthday party in Libanan. You are all my good friends, so I want to give you each a gift. Choose any jewelry you like, and I’ll pay for it.”

Xaviera’s expression changed slightly.

Was the person in the store Anna?

The excited woman’s voice came, “Anna, you’re so generous! Not for nothing are you Miss Campbell. You’re always lavish in your generosity! But we’re attending your birthday party, so we should be the ones giving you gifts. How can we accept your gifts?”

Anna cheerfully replied, “After all, this birthday party is not just for me. You’ll have to prepare two gifts, and my mom didn’t want you to spend too much, so she ordered me to take you to choose your favorite gifts as a return present.”

There was disdain flashing in everyone’s eyes. Miss Russell and her friends thought that the adopted girl didn’t deserve to receive their gifts. They just bought some small trinkets to save her some embarrassment.

“Anna, you’re really kind-hearted, always thinking of that adopted girl.”

“It’s supposed to be your birthday, but you have to include your adopted sister. Anna, how can you stand it? Your statuses are different. How can you have a joint birthday party?”

Anna spoke gently: “I don’t care about those things. She’s my sister, and I naturally want to take care of her. I’ve been the only child at home since I was little, and I’ve always been lonely. I’m glad to have Xaviera with me! Now, enough about her. Hurry up and choose your favorite jewelry.”

“Anna, this jade bracelet is so beautiful. Did you buy it here?”

Anna smiled, “No, it was a birthday gift from my grandmother.”

“Your grandmother? From Holy City’s Russell family? Mrs. Campbell’s mother is Miss Russell. My grandma told me that when Miss Russell married Mr. Tiarks, the whole city of Lokio was stirred.”

“It is a gift from the Russell family. No wonder it is so valuable. Anna, you’re so lucky to have a grandmother who spoils you. The Russell family is a world-famous family!”

Xaviera chuckled coldly. When did she agree to have a joint birthday party with Anna?

Steve Price muttered under his breath, “The Campbells must be crazy! A fake daughter like Anna is making such a big fuss and calling Mrs. Campbell her mom? Where is the justice in that?”

As for the Russell family, they have too much wealth to be sane as well. Why would they send a birthday gift to a fake granddaughter instead of their real one?
