Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Feelings Can Be Cultivated
Housekeeper Bronte said, “Yes, Mr. Mamet, what does a family that doesn’t even care about their own daughter care about? Please leave!”
Nidya Hughes was looking embarrassed, wanting to argue but lacking the courage to do so.
Anna Campbell clenched her teeth with a gloomy face.
This housekeeper Bronte was really meddling. How dare he play the recording!
Nidya Hughes changed her tone and looked fawning: “Mrs. Flack, it’s not my fault. I… I heard that Xaviera often fooled around with many men before she recognized us as her family, so I said those things on purpose to see if she would agree.”
“As for Adrian’s matter, we all know that it was Adrian’s fault for being reckless, and it’s justified for Mr. Caleb Mamet to punish him. I asked Xaviera to please Mr. Mamet to test her and see if she would take advantage of this opportunity to approach Mr. Mamet and seduce him.”
“If she really seduced Mr. Mamet, I was going to take her back and discipline her. I’m her biological mother, and I wouldn’t harm her. I just want to carefully nurture her so she doesn’t go astray.”
“I’m doing this for her own good!”
“But I didn’t expect her to actually agree and hasn’t returned yet. Xaviera doesn’t care much for Adrian, and she must not be pleading for her brother’s sake. She must be trying to seduce Mr. Mamet, trying to climb the social ladder. I never thought my own daughter would behave so shamelessly. It’s not wrong for me not to like her since her actions are so disgraceful!”
Mrs. Flack scoffed. The Campbell family was trying to use Xaviera to please Caleb Mamet and make him release Adrian, and now that their schemes were exposed, they were pushing all the blame on Xaviera.
Nidya Hughes feigned grief: “I never thought my daughter would not only be stubborn but also throw away her reputation for a man. Our Campbell family’s face has been completely lost! I… I’m really out of options!”
As Nidya Hughes spoke passionately, everyone else looked indifferent and disdainful.
Finally, someone couldn’t help but interject: “Mrs. Campbell, you should know…”
Nidya Hughes didn’t listen and continued to pose as a sorrowful mother: “No matter what, Xaviera is my biological daughter. How can I not love her? But I just can’t manage this child.”
“Xaviera, my biological daughter, is unreasonable, while Anna is obedient and well-behaved. She has also admired Mr. Caleb Mamet for years, but as a top noble lady, she has never overstepped her boundaries and has always been well-mannered.”
“On the other hand, look at Xaviera. She followed Mr. Mamet and still hasn’t returned after all this time. Who knows what they’re doing together? She knows Anna admires Mr. Mamet but still disregards sisterly love, her reputation, and competes with her sister.”
“It’s all my fault for not teaching my daughters well. If Mrs. Flack thinks I am incapable of educating my children, just drive me away, and I will have no complaints.”
Nidya Hughes’s words were filled with sorrow, her face full of grief, portraying a mother who was willing to give everything for her daughters. However, no one showed any sympathy, and they all wore expressions as if looking at a fool.
Someone reminded her awkwardly: “Mrs. Campbell, claiming that Miss Campbell admires Mr. Mamet doesn’t seem appropriate…”
Before the person could finish, Nidya Hughes interrupted hysterically: “What’s inappropriate about it? Anna is the daughter of the Campbell and Hughes families, our jewel. Marrying Mr. Mamet is not beyond her reach. Although I know Mr. Mamet may not like Anna yet, feelings can be cultivated.”
“I am Anna’s mother, and it’s natural for me to help her achieve her wish. I hope Mr. Mamet can take a look at my outstanding daughter. I believe that as long as Mr. Mamet is willing to get to know her, he will surely like her.”
Everyone was stunned.
The Campbell family’s faces were too thick. Marrying Mr. Mamet wasn’t beyond their reach? Who did the Campbell family think they were? Did they think Anna was a fairy from the sky and that every man would like her?
