Chapter 661 - : The Filial Anna Campbell
Chapter 661: Chapter 661: The Filial Anna Campbell
Anna Campbell was trending online once again. Netizens praised her for her filial piety. Her manager took advantage of the popularity, brought a professional shooting team to the Campbell family home, and pretended to be reporters, live broadcasting Anna’s scene of showing filially piety, immediately earning a flood of applause in the live broadcast room.
[Anna Campbell might not be her biological daughter, but she really treats Mrs. Campbell well.]
[What difference does it make if she’s the biological daughter? She and the Campbell family have no rapport. It’s not surprising that now she doesn’t even want to come home and Mrs. Campbell dotes on Anna and not her own daughter.]
In the live broadcast, Anna Campbell was softly telling everyone, “Mom has been upset recently because of some issues. As a daughter, I feel guilty for not being able to help her relieve the stress. I just hope that this banquet can cheer her up a bit.”
Nidya Hughes wore a worried look on her face, but managed to force a smile, “Even though I’ve found my biological daughter, Anna is still my daughter. Xaviera is Campbell’s daughter and so is Anna. There is no conflict between the two. Everyone should not look down on her just because Anna is adopted. She is also the pearl of the Campbell family. I will not mistreat her.”
“Anna is filial and well-behaved. It just so happens that everyone is here today. I have an announcement. We have decided to gift Anna 20% of the company shares. When Anna gets married in the future, we will also give her a generous dowry. The only thing we hope for is her future happiness.”
Xaviera Evans walked to the door just in time to hear Nidya Hughes’s words. What does Nidya Hughes mean by this? Is she publicly emphasizing the status of her adopted daughter?
Today was the anniversary of Nina Hughes’s death. Xaviera Evans wore a all-white plain black dress, draped with a white lace shawl. She looked stunning even without makeup, with white teeth and rosy lips. Her hair was casually tied at the back, accentuating a lazy beauty. There was not a single piece of jewelry on her body, but it only made her look pure and clean.
Caleb Mamet stood beside her, unable to resist licking his lips and suppressing the agitation in his heart.
At this moment, the sky was gloomy and lightly drizzling.
Xaviera Evans held her mother’s memento in her hand, her face sullen.
Caleb Mamet patted her shoulder and said quietly, “Let’s go.”
“Caleb, Anna Campbell has openly confessed her feelings for you in public before. This banquet today is probably aimed at you,” Xaviera Evans said, her words loaded with subtext.
Upon hearing this, Caleb Mamet stiffened, a look of disgust appearing on his face, “That ugly woman fancies me? Who gave her that confidence?”
Steve Price: “…” Did he just hear his boss grow more caustic than before? Even if he was disgusted, he would only show it in his eyes, he would never have said it out loud.
“Nidya Hughes claims to have a good relationship with my mother, but she doesn’t even know about her death anniversary. She even arranged a banquet today. I’d like to see how she’s going to explain this!”
Xaviera Evans scoffed, “All the members of the Campbell family are here, except for me. I wonder what they’re saying about me when they’re all gathered together!”
Having said that, Xaviera Evans opened a black umbrella, hooked her arm around Caleb Mamet’s and slowly walked to the entrance. The guard at the door looked surprised when he saw who had arrived, “Miss Evans…”
“Go! Go inform Mrs. Campbell that Miss Evans is here!”
“Stop her, quick!”
…
The banquet hall was brightly lit and buzzing with activity, devoid of any of the gloom from the rainy outdoors. People surrounded Nidya Hughes, trying to please her enthusiastically.
After all, Mrs. Campbell is the daughter of the Hughes family, with two wealthy families supporting her from behind. And it’s heard that Anna Campbell even won the Star Music Festival championship. Though it’s not yet officially announced, the Campbell’s family can’t possibly joke about it.
“Mrs. Campbell, don’t be sad. If your biological daughter is not here, you still have Anna, who is clever and sensible! With her company, naturally all your worries will be gone.”
“That’s right! We have seen how filial Miss Campbell is! I heard someone is live streaming this banquet! It seems that netizens are very interested too!”
Anna Campbell spoke graciously, “It’s all my fans who requested it. I also wanted to use this banquet to comfort my mother and make her feel better. My mother agreed to this, so there is a team broadcasting live now. If anyone has any objections, I could ask them to turn it off.”
“Of course, we don’t mind.”
At this moment, someone suddenly asked, “Today is such an important occasion, why didn’t Miss Evans come?”
There was silence in the banquet hall.
After a moment of silence, someone grumbled angrily, “It’s not Mrs. Campbell’s fault that the child was switched. Even if there was a misunderstanding, Mrs. Campbell has publicly apologized. After all, Mrs. Campbell is Miss Evans’ biological mother. Isn’t it a bit unreasonable for her to hold something like this against her?”
