Chapter 234 - 234: 234: You Were the One who Opened the Room!
“It’s only because Mrs. Campbell is so kind-hearted that she can swallow her anger!”
“If it weren’t for fear that Xaviera would be upset, it would have been impossible not to hold a wedding for so many years. Miss Evans is too willful!”
With everyone’s accusations ringing in her ears, Rose’s heart was filled with joy. Although she hadn’t seen Xaviera and Mr. Duke roll in the sheets with her own eyes, she had managed to attach a reputation of willfulness and disloyalty to her.
The play she had staged was not in vain.
She said with a bitter smile, “Let’s disperse, everyone. Attend the banquet as soon as possible. We shouldn’t delay Mr. Sullivan’s business because of our family affairs.”
“Mrs. Campbell.”
At this point, the accused, Xaviera Evans, slowly spoke.
Her eyes were icy cold as she said, “I’m sorry, but this matter won’t end so easily.”
Rose looked innocent: “Xaviera, what more do you want?”
“You’re right. Mr. Duke has indeed been in this room.”
Xaviera’s words stunned the crowd as she leisurely added, “Mr. Duke said that my parents sold me to him!”
Derek Evans:
Everyone gaped in disbelief. What was going on?
So, was Mr. Duke’s secretary telling the truth?
Xaviera continued, “Later, Mr. Mamet, Mr. Rome, and Miss Sullivan arrived and saved me. I managed to escape his clutches. I want to ask my father, did you sell me to Mr. Duke?”
Upon hearing Xaviera’s words, Derek suddenly looked up, only to find everyone’s disgusted gaze falling on him.
“Xaviera, don’t listen to Mr. Duke’s nonsense. I am your biological father. How could I sell you to him? He must have just made up that excuse!” “Ah, you’re right,” Xaviera said with a helpless expression.
“But why did Mr. Duke know I was here? And he even had a room card. Who gave him the card?”
“Also, I came for the banquet. My father and Mrs. Campbell said there was still a long time before the banquet started, so they took me upstairs to rest. That’s why I was waiting here.”
“But as soon as I stepped through the door, the room was locked. Then Mr. Duke barged in and tried to take advantage of me. So after I was saved, I checked…”
Upon Xaviera’s words, Rose Campbell immediately became anxious.
She hurriedly interrupted, “Xaviera, I just thought you looked a little weak, so I let you come upstairs to rest…”
Her eyes darted around, “You must have accidentally lost your room card, and
Mr. Duke picked it up and followed you in.”
Xaviera remained noncommittal, “That’s possible, but…”
She elongated her words, her cold gaze sweeping over Rose, finding her nervous and guilty appearance extremely interesting.
“Mrs. Campbell, you seem to have forgotten that this room was booked in your name!”
Rose’s face turned pale!
“You brought me here, gave Mr. Duke a room card, and then rushed in with everyone for a ‘caught in the act’ scene. How exciting!”
Clap, clap!
Xaviera leisurely applauded.
Rose’s face turned dark.
Gaby Rome sneered, “So, the one who booked the room was Mrs. Campbell!”
“Xaviera was brought to the room and locked up by Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Evans, and it was all caught on camera. It does make one wonder how Mr. Duke had the room card and ended up here as well!”
Xaviera spoke in a wronged tone, “Mrs. Campbell, you said this matter had nothing to do with you, but why did you force me to go upstairs and coincidentally, Mr. Duke showed up too? It’s just too much of a coincidence…”
“Did you sell me to Mr. Duke to exchange for resources in his hands, and then let me leave the Evans family forever and disappear from you and your daughter’s sight?”
Rose Campbell’s face turned deathly pale, and her body shook nervously.
Xaviera was talking nonsense!
Her public statement was meant to slander her stepmother!
Everyone stared at Rose with suspicion, and she hung her head in guilt.
“Enough!”
Derek Evans suddenly spoke, his face cast in a terrible shadow.
“You are my daughter! How could Rose and I have done such a thing? Let’s put an end to this now. Just let it go that you may have wronged Rose and don’t delay the banquet any longer because of our family’s personal affairs..”
