Chapter 502: 502: The Relationship between Xaviera Evans and the Campbell Family
“As for our Anna…” Mrs. Campbell paused, then continued, “In fact, the role was already confirmed for Anna to play. The audition was merely a formality. She couldn’t remember the lines because she was too busy, but she will certainly prepare thoroughly for the actual shooting.”
Anna Campbell’s face eased slightly, wiping a tear. “My mother is right. Miss Evans has known all along that the role was already confirmed. We even agreed on this before. I don’t understand… why things turned out this way.”
Xaviera Evans was lurking amongst the audience and typed a line: [Now that Miss Evans isn’t here to defend herself, you’re free to say whatever you please. Could this be yet another one of your lies? After all, you previously claimed that Miss Evans stole your role! How can we trust you again?]
Seeing these prominent words, Anna hurriedly explained, “You must believe me. If I really had stolen Miss Evans’s role, why wouldn’t I delete the video? Why would I leave evidence?”
“Our Campbell family is far from short of money. If I indeed made a mistake, we could have just deleted these surveillance videos, and no one would have ever known, right?”
Mrs. Campbell interjected, “Indeed! Our Anna does not even know Miss Evans. Why would we purposely target a stranger? I’d rather Anna leave the acting scene to take over our family business instead. We Campbell’s wouldn’t stoop to doing such a thing against an unknown rookie.”
At this moment, the barrage of comments suddenly slowed down. Everyone momentarily unsure of whom to believe. At this point, Anna’s fans began to come forward and defend her.
[Anna’s right! She is Miss Campbell. If she had really stolen the role, she certainly wouldn’t have left any evidence!]
[Didn’t Anna say she and Xaviera Evans had already talked it through! Miss Evans isn’t in the acting industry. She probably just casually tried out a scene, simulating an audition situation. Someone with bad intentions posted it online, leading to all this misunderstanding.]
[With Anna’s fame, there’s no need for her to compete for roles. Many directors hope to invite her to their productions. Besides, if she truly wishes to portray a character, the Campbell family would just finance the production. There is no need for her to compete with Miss Evans for a role! Mrs. Campbell is right, they wouldn’t stoop so low.]
Spotting the change in popular sentiment, Anna promptly stepped forward, “Indeed, with my status, why would I pick on a newcomer?”
Xaviera Evans gave a meaningful smile.
She despised the Campbell family’s pretentious demeanor. Acting as if they were superior to everyone else, thinking that their wealth allowed them to control everything. Unjustly blaming others for stealing their roles, when they themselves were the culprits. If she were indeed a newcomer, such defamation by Anna would make it impossible for her to survive in the entertainment industry, she would be universally condemned.
Then, Caleb Mamet off to the side raised his hand, signaling with a gesture.
Sean Price immediately understood and took out his phone, commanding, “Go for it.”
Caleb Mamet lowered his eyes, softly uttering, “Xaviera, the Campbell family… may have ties to you.”
Xaviera Evans showed no surprise but nodded, “This Mrs. Campbell does remind me of my mother.”
Caleb Mamet hesitated a bit, “No, it’s not just that.”
Xaviera raised her eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.
At this moment, Sean Price handed Xaviera a document, “Years ago, when Mrs. Campbell gave birth, someone switched her baby. Her biological daughter is missing, and the child whom they raised as their royal gem is actually the daughter of a servant. But the Campbells are unaware of this.”
Hearing this, Xaviera instantly understood.
Caleb Mamet began, “Later, the Campbell family unintentionally discovered this fact but decided not to look for their biological daughter. However, for some reason, they suddenly began their search and ended up in Libanan.”
“So what? How is the Campbell family related to me?”
Caleb Mamet looked serious, “You… are the biological daughter they’re looking for.”
The living room fell silent.
Steve Price and Sean Price glanced at each other, held their breath, and cast their eyes down.
