Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 598: Not a Single Guest Came

Jeremy Campbell turned around and saw that the banquet hall for Anna on the other side was packed with guests, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

If not for the sake of the Russell family and Caleb Mamet, he wouldn’t have come to Xaviera Evans’ birthday banquet. Now, even if the banquet hall was empty, he couldn’t just leave. He asked impatiently, “Who has arrived?”

The butler immediately said, “People from the Salma family have arrived.”

Jeremy’s face softened a bit, “At least someone is here, so Xaviera won’t lose too much face. Actually, it doesn’t matter if she loses, as long as she behaves herself, she is still my daughter. The Salma family is close to our Campbell family, let them take their seats.”

Jeremy was afraid that Caleb would blame him for this, so having someone here was better than no one.

Once the guests on Xaviera’s side were seated, he would go to celebrate Anna’s birthday.

At this moment, the butler suddenly spoke awkwardly, “Mister, the Salma family sent someone to bring a gift and then went directly to Miss Anna’s banquet hall.”

Xaviera remained indifferent.

Jeremy’s face darkened, suddenly feeling humiliated. Both were his daughters, but why was there such a big difference? Did Xaviera not have a single presentable friend?

At this time, another family entered with a gift in hand, and spoke hesitantly, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Campbell, my daughter is good friends with Miss Anna, she insisted that we attend her birthday banquet, so…”

Jeremy felt depressed in his heart. Was he wrong? Should he have chosen Anna from the beginning? How could Xaviera possibly compare to Anna?

Afterward, several other families arrived, all of whom brought gifts, apologized, and went to Anna’s banquet hall.

Jeremy frowned, “Now, even if Mr. Caleb Mamet and the Russell family blame me, I still have something to say. I gave Xaviera a chance, but she didn’t take it. This isn’t my fault!”

“Even if I stay on Xaviera’s side, she doesn’t have any friends. Forget it, there’s no point in me staying here. I’ll go over to Anna’s side!”

The butler furrowed his brows, feeling sorry for Xaviera.

There was no comparison between the two daughters. Anna had participated in various banquets since she was young, making friends with noble ladies, while Xaviera had never shown her face in upper-class society. How could she possibly compare to Anna? In the end, it was the Campbell couple’s favoritism towards their adopted daughter.

Jeremy got up and left directly, but the butler did not move from his spot.

How could none of the Campbell family be present for the birthday of their daughter?

The butler and Nanny Crabtree walked up to Xaviera, “Miss, if they don’t come, it doesn’t matter. Don’t be angry. If you don’t mind, Nanny Crabtree and I will stay. What do you think?”

Xaviera smiled slightly, “Of course, that would be great.”

…

Seeing Jeremy coming from the other banquet hall, Anna and Nidya Hughes revealed triumphant smiles.

Nidya Hughes playfully complained, “Honey, I thought you weren’t coming! Anna, I told you your father still cares about you. He just didn’t want Xaviera to lose too much face.”

Anna pretended to be concerned, “But what about my sister? If you’re here with me, there won’t be anyone on her side. Our relationship wasn’t that good to begin with, now she’ll hate me even more.”

Jeremy felt a bit annoyed, but seeing the bustling crowd and their laughter, his mood improved slightly. He regretted going to Xaviera’s side earlier, as he wouldn’t have been so bothered if he had just come straight to Anna’s side.

“Anna, don’t think too much about it. It’s her own fault. What does it have to do with you!”

When the guests heard Jeremy’s words, they couldn’t help but turn to look at the other banquet hall.

“You should see, even though they’re both daughters of the Campbell family, not a single guest came to that Miss’s birthday banquet!”

“Anna is a top noble lady. She is beautiful and has good connections. Of course, the guests would come to her birthday party. Actually, if the two didn’t have to celebrate their birthdays together, I would still attend Xaviera’s birthday just because she is the Campbell’s biological daughter.”

“But, if I had to choose between the two, I would definitely come to Anna’s side.”

“A biological daughter, huh… Well, it’s nothing special in the end!”
