Chapter 625: 625: Rumors of Deep Sisterly Love
A warmth filled Xaviera’s heart, but it was soon followed by a sour feeling, for she could sense that the frequency of Caleb’s poisoning was getting higher and higher. Fortunately, when the situation was not serious, he could still control it.
…
The Campbell Villa.
Nidya and Anna, like two drowned cats, returned home. Adrian immediately came out to greet them, wiping off the rainwater on their bodies.
Jeremy Campbell, however, sat on the sofa, roaring angrily, “You two idiots! I just asked you to go apologize, but what have you done! Not only did you hit Xaviera, but you also broadcasted the scene! The face of the Campbell family has been completely lost by you two fools!”
Nidya hung her head low, not daring to make a sound.
Anna burst into tears, “Dad…”
“I am not your father! You and I have no blood relationship!”
Anna’s face turned pale, choking back sobs, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know my sister was sick. We suddenly rushed over there, and we might have scared her, so…”
Jeremy had just watched the live broadcast, and he also found it a bit strange. Xaviera was usually smart and daring, but this time she was full of terror, as if she was afraid of them.
Anna sobbed, “Xaviera has always hated me, and I’m afraid she will be even more reluctant to see us now, but after all, Xaviera is my parents’ daughter, and how can I bear to see you separated? So, I had an idea, but I don’t know if it’s feasible.”
Jeremy’s face softened a bit, “What idea?”
“I’ve heard that Xaviera has a good relationship with Mrs. Nina Hughes, and my mom is Nina’s sister. If mom wants to pay tribute to Nina, Xaviera should not refuse, right?”
Everyone immediately realized that even if Xaviera held a grudge against the Campbell family, there was no reason for her to stop a sister from paying tribute to her sister. If she insisted on disagreeing, it would be against convention.
If she agreed, they would find another opportunity to persuade Xaviera to forgive them.
Anna sniffed, “Mom, we must seize this opportunity.”
…
Early the next morning.
Xaviera heard some rumors, saying that Nidya and Nina were sisterly, and that Nidya had searched for Nina for more than a decade after she went missing. It was said that after Nina’s death, Nidya was heartbroken and seriously ill.
Some news also broke out on the internet, saying that the sisters had always had a good relationship, and although they did not grow up together since childhood, they shared the same father and mother and were connected by blood.
Xaviera was somewhat puzzled. What was Nidya spreading these messages on the internet for?
Suddenly, her phone rang, and the screen showed Mrs. Russell’s number.
Xaviera hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly called out, “Grandma.”
“Xaviera, did you see the news on the internet?” Mrs. Russell’s voice was somewhat stern, and the younger members of the Russell family were also trembling nearby.
Xaviera asked, “Are you talking about the news that Mrs. Campbell and my mother are close sisters?”
Mrs. Russell’s voice was slightly cold, “It’s this matter. I usually don’t pay attention to the news on the internet. It was Julian who told me about it. Actually, your mother’s relationship with Nidya is not as good as she claims, their feelings cannot be described in a few words. Anyway, just remember that if Nidya tries to force you to bow down using their sisterly affection, you don’t have to listen.”
Xaviera felt warmth in her heart and responded with a smile, “Alright, I’ll remember.”
Mrs. Russell’s eyes reddened, “My dear child, if you run into any trouble, come find your grandma. As long as I’m around, no one is allowed to bully you!”
In fact, Mrs. Russell didn’t understand why Xaviera, who was Nidya’s own daughter, had a completely different character from her. Instead, she resembled Nina very much. Was it because Nina had raised her, so she resembled her?
Xaviera nodded, “Thank you, Grandma. Can you tell me about the relationship between my mom and Mrs. Campbell? I really want to know.”
The air was silent for a few seconds.
Mrs. Russell was silent for a while, then sighed, “Back then, I met and fell in love with Cory, and we married. We had a son and then two daughters.”
“With our two families wealthy and powerful, I yielded my position and became a full-time wife, taking care of the children, and the five of us led a happy and carefree life, but… “
