Chapter 597: Chapter 597: The Joke of the Entire Libanan
Xaviera looked puzzled, “I’m not mad, so why are you so resentful?”
“I’m angry for you! Goddammit!” Yigol couldn’t help but burst out with a curse.
“I’ve taken 30% of the shares from Jeremy’s hands, which is worth more than a billion dollars. Attending a birthday banquet not only humiliates Anna but also brings me so much money. What’s there to get angry about?”
Yigol: “…” How had he never noticed before how much Xaviera loved money? As Caleb’s wife, would she really lack money?
However, he was curious how Xaviera could be so sure that Anna would definitely be the one losing face at the birthday party.
…
Half an hour before the birthday banquet began.
Elijah stood in the corner, whispering, “Everyone’s almost here.”
Quine nodded, hiding in the darkness.
Xavier looked at the friends who had rushed from the Imperial Capital, elegantly said, “Thank you for joining us for my sixth sister’s birthday party. Please wait outside for a while.”
Anna wore a haute couture long dress just like Xaviera’s and with delicate makeup on like a proud white swan. She looked smugly at the banquet hall across from her.
She thought, when it came to networking, how could Xaviera possibly compete with her!
“Anna, everything is ready. We’ve informed all the families in Libanan that they won’t attend Xaviera’s banquet,” said Sara.
Anna listened to Sara’s words, a smug smile on her lips. She looked up, her face filled with sorrow, “I just wish Dad could be here with me for this birthday.”
Hearing this, Adrian couldn’t help but snort coldly, “Dad’s really something, actually going to celebrate that wild girl’s birthday! Anna, don’t be sad. When Dad sees the empty hall, he’ll come over after a short while. You are the daughter Dad loves the most, and that won’t change.”
Anna feigned worry, “But… what about my sister? With you and Mom on my side, what if Dad comes too… isn’t my sister…”
Adrian looked at her tenderly, “Anna, you’re just too kind-hearted. Why care about her? Let her lose face and leave the Campbell family for good.”
Anna remained silent, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
Even if everyone attended her birthday banquet, she couldn’t be satisfied. Because Xaviera had Caleb behind her, even if she lost face today, nobody would dare say anything because of Caleb’s prestige. At most, people would just gossip behind her back, causing no significant harm to Xaviera.
So this time, Anna had to make a big splash at the banquet, making Xaviera lose all face!
Anna smiled, knowing that it wouldn’t be long before Xaviera would become the laughingstock of the entire Libanan and that the Campbell family couldn’t afford to lose face this way, so they would certainly abandon their daughter.
…
The birthday banquet officially began.
Anna’s ballroom was crowded, and it quickly filled up, while the guests gathered and talked among themselves.
“How many people do you think can go to Xaviera’s banquet?”
“I bet not many at all. Everyone knows what the Campbell family did. Who would go to an unpopular daughter’s birthday banquet and offend both Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Campbell?”
“Xaviera’s in a terrible situation now. Not only losing face, she might even be abandoned by the Campbell family. To be honest, being born into a family isn’t that important. After all, Anna has been the daughter of the Campbell couple for twenty years, and she’s outstanding and has a good relationship with the family’s friends. She can’t be compared with a daughter who has been living outside.”
“You’re right! After the banquet today, Miss Evans will be the laughingstock of Libanan.”
Another ten minutes passed, and Xaviera’s banquet hall remained quiet, forming a sharp contrast to the lively scene on Anna’s side, as the guests’ faces grew more mocking.
Staying in Xaviera’s banquet hall, Mr. Campbell was getting a bit restless as well.
He originally thought that since Xaviera was Caleb’s wife, she would have some connections, and Mrs. Flack seemed to think a lot of Xaviera. But had he been overthinking it?
The Flack family hadn’t come to Xaviera’s birthday party. Did it mean that their assistance to Xaviera last time was simply out of sympathy and without any ulterior motive? To them, Xaviera was just an unimportant younger generation, someone they could easily do without.
