Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Northern Region’s Family
Netizens were upset that even if Nina Hughes had done something wrong, she had admitted her mistake and publicly apologized, but Xaviera, knowing that she was in the wrong, hid and did not respond, thinking she could secretly swallow the inheritance?
What was even more exasperating was that Nina Hughes gave up her life for Xaviera, even her life, and yet Xaviera was disregarding her foster mother’s wishes, thinking of nothing but money. It was too much!
Caleb Mamet naturally saw these messages too, his eyes filled with anger and his voice cold: “Where is my wife?”
Sean Price said: “It seems she is sorting out Mrs. Nina Hughes’s inheritance.”
Caleb Mamet frowned: “What is she doing sorting those things out? Does she really want to return the property to the Campbell family? This stupid woman must be crazy!”
Sean Price: “??” Stupid woman? The CEO actually called his wife a stupid woman? That once wife-doting maniac actually called his wife stupid? Even he knew that his wife had her reasons for what she did, and returning the property would definitely be a severe blow to the Campbell family. Doesn’t the CEO know that?
Then Caleb Mamet slowly added: “You guys, in the past…”
He paused and changed the subject: “How did you handle these situations before? Did she have to deal with them all by herself? Didn’t she ever ask me for help?”
Sean Price looked at him with a puzzled face, recalling the conversations between the two brothers in private, Steve Price said —
—”Don’t you think the CEO has been acting weird lately?”
—”Yesterday the CEO actually said that his wife is weak, did he get hit in the head?”
Sean Price smiled meaningfully: “CEO, rest assured!”
…
Anna Campbell was a top female star, already having a strong following, and the matter of the two children being switched at birth had attracted a lot of attention from the netizens. To them, it was understandable for their biological daughter to not want to return home, as after all, she had no feelings for the Campbell family. However, Nina Hughes had raised Xaviera and they did have feelings as mother and daughter, so refusing to fulfill her foster mother’s last wish for the sake of the invaluable inheritance was a question of character.
Seeing the comments on the internet were overwhelmingly biased, Anna Campbell looked smug, thinking that Xaviera was so powerful but now she was so afraid that she didn’t dare to make a sound. It had been such a long time since the news broke, and there was still no response.
The more Xaviera didn’t respond, the more confident Nina Hughes became, and she believed she could force Xaviera to hand over the inheritance this time.
After a week of fermenting, Xaviera still hadn’t responded. She had now sorted through the items her mother left behind, and they were indeed valuable. Added together, these items were worth more than the wealth of the Campbell family.
Although the Hughes family was an aristocratic family, it seemed unreasonable to let a daughter take away so many gold and silver treasures. And with so many precious items taken away, the Hughes family would suffer serious losses. However, there hadn’t been any news of the Hughes family’s financial loss for years.
Could it be that these items belonged to the Russell family?
It shouldn’t be, because Madam Russell wore a priceless blood jade, the heirloom of the Russell family. However, among her mother’s inheritance, there were two blood jades of even better quality, along with various ancient calligraphy paintings.
Xaviera had people appraise it, and her mother’s possessions were all genuine. Each of these items was worth millions of dollars, some even too expensive to estimate.
So where did all these things come from?
Not from the Hughes family, not from the Russell family, and not just from her mother. Even if her mother was very successful in business, it was impossible for her to accumulate such astonishing wealth in such a short time. Moreover, these antiques, paintings, jewelry, and gold were hard to buy even with money and required absolute power and status.
Her mother died at the age of twenty-six. She did have a mind for business and made a lot of money, but it was impossible for her alone to possess these properties.
The phone suddenly rang; it was Albert Sullivan calling. “Xaviera, I’ve had people look at those things. I wanted to ask you, do you know where Mrs. Nina’s inheritance came from?”
Xaviera replied: “I don’t know.”
Albert Sullivan’s voice was serious: “The gold and silver jewelry in the inheritance are all priceless, and any one of them would make people envious. One of them…”
He paused, seeming to digest the news: “Thirty years ago, my father had seen it in that family from the Northern Region. Although he only saw it once, he still has a deep memory of it.”
The family from the Northern Region…
