Chapter 505: Chapter 505: The Secret of the Hughes Family
Anna Campbell’s heart turned cold, her body weakened, and she collapsed onto the couch, her nails digging into her palms. Her voice was suppressed, “I… I will explain everything, Mom… For now, saving my brother is the most important thing.”
Soon after, Anna and Mrs. Campbell hurriedly ran out, leaving the host to pick up the equipment and surprisingly, find that the live broadcast could now be closed.
The incident once again trended on Twitter but this time, it took a complete 180-degree turn.
Anna was an A-class celebrity after all and so, many people were paying attention to this incident. Although the Campbell family spent a fortune trying to control the trending topics, they were unable to silence the criticism.
Anna looked troubled, but thought that in a few days, she could apologize on social media and everyone would soon forget about it. Now, the most important thing was to get her brother out of trouble.
However… The Campbell family’s business might be affected.
Xaviera Evans had undoubtedly caused a huge mess, stirring up the Campbell family like this. Her parents must hate her, and if they knew she was their real daughter, how could they ever reconcile with her?
Two days later.
Anna released an apology video on Twitter. In the video, her tearful eyes kept saying sorry. With the help of fans trying to clear her name and the money spent by the Campbell family, the matter gradually began to die down.
Xaviera glanced at the video and scoffed, “Truly befitting of an actress! Just look at how pitiful she looks, almost as if she’s about to die! She implies that her agent prompted her to fight for the role, and that Adrian hiring a hitman has nothing to do with her. She’s still the pure and flawless goddess.”
“Her brother is still in the police station! How can she have the nerve to say that?”
Xaviera knew very well that with the evidence at hand, as long as she didn’t forgive Adrian, he wouldn’t be released. Even with all the money and power the Campbell family had, they couldn’t openly seize him from the police station.
But how could a wealthy family like the Campbells tolerate their dirty laundry being aired in public?
As Xaviera came downstairs, she saw Caleb Mamet instructing Sean Price to do something. With a cold expression in his eyes, Sean nodded seriously before turning around and leaving.
Caleb walked up to her, his voice deep, “There’s something I need to tell you.”
Xaviera shook her head, “Forget it, I don’t want to hear anything about the Campbell family. It’s annoying. I’m going to send Adrian Campbell to jail, no matter what anyone says. He dared to hire someone to kill me, there’s no way I’ll let him go!”
Caleb couldn’t help but smile, “Don’t be so angry. This matter concerns you, and you’ll want to know.”
Xaviera raised her eyes, her interest piqued, “Are you trying to say something about my relationship with the Campbell family? Even if they are related by blood, I don’t intend to recognize them. After all, things have become irreconcilable because of Anna. Now acknowledging them would only make things more awkward. Why should I put myself in an unfavorable position?”
Caleb looked indifferent, handing her the documents in his hands. Inside, there was also a photo of two women with similar faces.
“Mom?”
Xaviera was surprised. It was indeed a photo of her mother Nina Hughes when she was young, and the other woman who looked a lot like her was…Mrs. Campbell?
“The people in the photo are your mother Nina Hughes and Mrs. Campbell, Nidya Hughes. They are sisters born to the same parents, from the Hughes family in Lokio. They were the top noble ladies, and it was rumored that the Hughes family had two incredibly beautiful daughters. However, they never appeared in public, and the Hughes family was extremely fond of them, even keeping their names a secret before they got married.”
“Later, Mrs. Campbell, younger sister Nidya Hughes married into the Campbell family, while the eldest daughter of the Hughes family went missing. The Hughes family kept it under wraps and claimed that Miss Hughes was bedridden and needed rest.”
“But your mother appeared in Libanan later, and the Hughes family didn’t go to look for her because Miss Hughes was still being taken care of at home.”
Xaviera’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She suddenly felt that there must have been a conspiracy behind this. Otherwise, why would her mother have brought a huge amount of wealth to Libanan and married Derek Evans?
Caleb still wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes and a wave of dizziness. As his vision went dark, he inadvertently tripped on something on the floor, his body falling uncontrollably forwards.
Seeing this, Xaviera immediately reached out to support him, but due to his towering figure and her own lost balance, they both fell down together.
