One lady couldn’t control her anger any longer, “Mrs. Campbell, we are all wives of the upper class, but I can’t help but complain today. How thick-skinned you are! Just because your daughter admires Caleb, must he like her too? And even if you don’t like your own daughter, you shouldn’t slander her reputation in public. Do you even deserve to be a mother?”

“And you don’t know that Mr. Caleb’s—”

Before she could finish her sentence, a cold female voice sounded from outside the door, “Sorry, I’m late.”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

They saw Xaviera Evans and Caleb Mamet walking in slowly. Everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell on the Campbell family, who, as expected, stared back in disbelief.

Nidya Hughes’s face darkened. That little bitch! Returning just at this moment!

After a moment’s thought, Nidya rushed forward and scolded loudly, “You finally remember to come back! Your father and I brought you to this banquet, and in the blink of an eye, you disappeared. You’ve been with another man for so long. Do you have any regard for me as your mother? Do you know what shame is?”

Her words implied that Xaviera and Caleb were having an illicit relationship and must have done something unspeakable during the hour they were gone.

Caleb’s eyes were deep.

Xaviera smirked slightly, then started to cry with a grievance, “Mom, why did you scold me? Didn’t you tell me to please Mr. Caleb? Although my brother’s murder file can’t be revoked, Mr. Caleb has already agreed not to pursue the matter. My brother can be released.”

Xaviera wore an innocent face, “I thought mom would praise me for saving my brother, but I didn’t expect…boo hoo hoo….”

Steve Price, who stood at a distance, shook his head helplessly. He had already mourned for the Campbell family in his heart.

At this moment, their faces were filled with fascinating expressions—disbelief, anger, and fear. They wished they could escape the banquet hall right away.

The room fell silent, and everyone’s gaze fell on Nidya Hughes.

Anna Campbell stared maliciously at Xaviera, her eyes fixed on Xaviera’s hand holding Caleb’s, wishing she could burn a hole through it.

This little bitch is also worthy of standing with Mr. Caleb?

Anna had always been adored and pampered since childhood. She became an A-class actress and a top noble lady. She worked hard to be better, all just to be worthy of the best man in the world.

Originally, the Campbell family had a marriage arrangement with another family, but Anna despised that worthless man. Therefore, she had her parents find Xaviera to replace her in marrying that man.

Her parents naturally looked down on that family too. However, the engagement had been set, and breaking it would be a breach of faith. It was then that they remembered their long-lost daughter.

Anna was very demanding of her future partner. The moment she saw Caleb, she knew he was the Prince Charming she had been waiting for and that only he would be worthy of her.

Anna stole a shy glance at Caleb and blushed immediately.

Nidya looked at Xaviera’s grief-stricken face and felt frustrated. Impatiently, she said, “You have the nerve to ask? I did tell you to find Mr. Caleb, but it was just a test. I didn’t expect you to be gone for so long. I don’t even know what disgraceful things you did. You’ve seriously embarrassed our family!”

Xaviera raised her eyebrows and said leisurely, “I see. So when you told me to please Mr. Caleb, it was just to test me, not to really ask for mercy.”

Nidya froze.

Though she had said that, she had no choice but to admit it. Besides, Xaviera just mentioned that Caleb had agreed not to pursue the matter with Adrian, so he probably wouldn’t go back on his word. They could just blame everything on Xaviera, highlighting Anna’s excellence by comparison, ensuring Caleb would like Anna.

Nidya clenched her teeth, “Yes, I knew your brother had done something wrong, and it was only right for Mr. Caleb to punish him. I was just testing you. Who knew you would take advantage of the situation to seduce Mr. Caleb and even forget about the start of the banquet? Do you even know how to write the word shame?!”
