Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 535: The child who cries gets candy

Anna Campbell was frail and powerless, weeping in grievance: “I’m alright, sister… You don’t need to apologize. It’s just a few slaps, it’s not a big deal.”

Nidya Hughes looked at her daughter being wronged and felt her anger intensifying: “Xaviera Evans! You are too heartless. This is your sister. You actually strikes her. It seems you have really been corrupted outside, learning such savage tricks! Now, get out of the Campbell family, we don’t want a malicious daughter like you!”

Everyone looked at Xaviera Evans in confusion.

They saw Xaviera standing in the same spot, remaining silent for a while before letting out a helpless sigh.

“Sigh! Miss Campbell, don’t wrongly accuse me. It was clearly you who suddenly fell. Why did you accuse me of hitting you? Did you get dizzy from the pain?”

Xaviera spoke lightly: “You said that I slapped you several times and asked me to apologize… but… everyone, look at her face. There isn’t a single mark!”

Everyone took a closer look. Indeed, Anna’s face was smooth without any indication of being hit, only tears falling down, making her look painfully wronged.

Xaviera scoffed: “Miss Campbell cries a few times, and Mrs. Campbell immediately forces me to kneel and apologize. If I go back to the Campbell family, I wonder how many grievances I would have to endure. In this case, I might as well not return to the family.”

Everyone suddenly understood. Mrs. Flack raised an eyebrow and said coldly, “It seems that Miss Campbell is pretending!”

Anna Campbell’s face turned pale white.

She, indeed, wasn’t faking this time. Xaviera had clearly slapped her a few times. She didn’t know why, but she felt a series of pains in her chest. Why didn’t anyone believe her?

Anna Campbell fell back onto the ground, her teary eyes appeared pitiful, arousing sympathy.

She spoke weakly, “Xaviera, you clearly slapped me several times, but now you are accusing me of falsely blaming you. How…how could you treat me like this!”

Her eyes were filled with sadness as she started sobbing: “Mr. Mamet, you saw it too. She hit me. Are you still going to protect her?”

Jeremy Campbell and Caleb Mamet both came over, looking at Anna lying on the ground while scanning the surrounding people, a frown appeared on their faces.

Nidya Hughes seeing Caleb Mamet walked over, she immediately feigned heartbreak: “Xaviera, you’ve been wandering around for so many years. Although I pitied you, it turns out, you’ve already gone bad. You bullied Anna at home, but now you’ve beaten her in front of everyone at the Flack family’s house. You are entirely lawless!”

With tears clouding her vision, Anna stuttered, “Mrs. Flack, it is my fault. Even if my sister hit me, I shouldn’t have made a fuss about it. I’m sorry. I apologize to everyone…”

Nidya Hughes has another heartache from seeing Anna behaving like a doormat, she reprimanded: “Xaviera Evans, apologize now!”

No one dared to utter a word. Mrs. Flack was about to say something, but Xaviera interrupted her: “Mrs. Campbell, you said I hit Anna Campbell. But did you see with your own eyes? The crybaby always gets their way. It seems that as long as Miss Campbell cries a few times, Mrs. Campbell, you’ll believe whatever she says?”

She did hit Anna, but even if she didn’t, just Anna crying and pretending to be a victim would be enough for Mrs. Campbell to reproach her publicly.

She would rather strike back at Anna and at least vent some of her anger than be wronged for something she didn’t do.

Nidya Hughes gave Xaviera a hateful glare, “Or what? Anna is such a good girl, would she lie? It’s just that you are simply jealous of Anna, so you found a secluded place to hit her, and now you even refuse to admit it!”

Xaviera replied leisurely: “Miss Campbell, do you know who asked me to come out?”

Nidya Hughes was momentarily speechless.

Xaviera humphed: “I was sleeping in my room when Mrs. Campbell sent someone to wake me up and beckoned me over in the middle of the night.”

“When I was about to leave, it was Miss Campbell who wanted to talk to me and we ended up here. Then Mrs. Campbell came up to accuse me just as this crowd came along.”

Everyone’s gaze now rested on Nidya Hughes. She hastily defended herself, “Anna just wanted to have a chat with you. You two are sisters…”

“In the middle of the night, a casual chat? Mrs. Campbell, you really know how to make up excuses.” Xaviera laughed coldly.
