Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Undoubtedly Destined to Lose
“Hold back a bit, don’t kill them.” Elijah Flack reminded.
Quine Heninger nodded, watching Elijah turning away, he leaped onto the opposite roof to observe the movement in the villa, then hiding his tracks.
His eyes were cold and full of thick killing intent.
If it wasn’t for Elijah stopping him, he would have killed all these scum, but he had to bear with them for Xaviera’s sake.
Damn irritating!
Quine Heninger flicked his wrist, holding a thin silver needle between his fingertips. With a squint in his eyes, he suddenly shot the needle out when no one noticed.
“Ah! It hurts! What is that?!” Adrian Campbell’s painful cry came from inside the house.
…
On the other side, Xaviera answered Jeremy Campbell’s call, her face cold. Yigol Mamet, noticing the strange atmosphere, was too scared to speak, and Lucky Mamet obediently lay on the ground.
A moment later, she finally sighed helplessly: “Mr. Campbell, what’s the meaning of this?”
Jeremy Campbell was a little nervous: “Xaviera, this…”
“You want me and Anna Campbell to hold our birthday parties simultaneously, but in separate venues to see who can bring greater benefits to the Campbell family? Mr. Campbell, you know very well that I have hardly attended any parties, and I don’t have as deep social connections as Anna. In this competition, I will undoubtedly lose! Are you trying to make me lose face?”
Jeremy Campbell hurriedly explained: “Xaviera, don’t think that way. Dad just wants to celebrate your birthday. How could he want to embarrass you? It’s just that there are too many guests, so we have to hold separate events.”
“Mr. Campbell, do you take me for a three-year-old child? Such roundabout talk is pointless. It’s better to speak plainly. You and Nidya Hughes just want the Russell family to know that Anna Campbell is the most suitable person to be Miss Campbell, and that she has better connections than me.”
Xaviera casually said: “You said not to let the Mamet family help, and to rely on the network I built myself. I agree. But Mr. Campbell knows that compared to Anna, I’m already at a disadvantage. Why should I willingly attend this birthday party without any concessions from you?”
Jeremy Campbell’s heart trembled: “What do you want?”
“Caleb Mamet said that as long as the 30% of shares held by Anna Campbell are transferred to me, he won’t bother the Campbell family. Have you already forgotten about yesterday’s incident?”
Xaviera sneered: “I will only agree to attend the banquet on this condition. Otherwise, knowing that I’ll be humiliated, why would I go? I’m not a fool! If Mr. Campbell doesn’t want Anna to suffer and is willing to transfer his own shares to me, that’s fine too.”
Jeremy Campbell was in a dilemma.
Fairly speaking, he, of course, liked Anna more. After all, she had lived with him for twenty years, intelligent and capable, beautiful and generous, she truly deserved to be Miss Campbell.
Xaviera, on the other hand, was too mediocre and seemed incapable of managing a company. If she were entrusted with the company, the Campbell family would be finished. Therefore, it must be left to Anna and Adrian to manage in the end.
However… if he didn’t agree to Xaviera’s terms, the Russell family and Caleb Mamet wouldn’t give up easily.
He could agree to give her 30% of the shares first, but without any management authority, of course.
Jeremy Campbell took a deep breath: “Fine! I agree. But you must promise me that you’ll attend the birthday party.”
Xaviera smiled meaningfully: “Okay! I’ll be there on time. Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Campbell, make sure you’re not late.”
After hanging up the phone, Yigol Mamet immediately cursed: “Does the Campbell family really think there’s no one in the Mamet family? They want you, a daughter who has been living in exile, to compete with Anna Campbell for connections? Whoever is in their right mind wouldn’t come up with this idea.”
Xaviera pursed her lips, saying nothing.
With this arrangement, it was obvious that the Campbell family favored Anna. But she didn’t care, she wasn’t interested in that little bit of pitiful affection. As for who would ultimately lose face, that remained to be seen!
Yigol Mamet was indignant: “I’m calling people right now!”
Xaviera waved her hand: “No.”
“Why? Anna Campbell and Nidya Hughes must have already contacted many people. Adrian Campbell may be a waste, but he has quite a few unreliable friends around him who will definitely attend Anna’s birthday party.”
