Chapter 234: Chapter 234: You Were the One who Opened the Room!
Translator: 549690339
Rose Campbell hurriedly stopped them: âEnough, donât say any more. I donât care what Xaviera thinks of me, and you donât need to blame her anymore.â
âItâs only because Mrs. Campbell is so kind-hearted that she can swallow her anger!â
âIf it werenât 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!â
With everyoneâs accusations ringing in her ears, Roseâs heart was filled with joy. Although she hadnât 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, âLetâs disperse, everyone. Attend the banquet as soon as possible. We shouldnât delay Mr. Sullivanâs business because of our family affairs.â
âMrs. Campbell.â
At this point, the accused, Xaviera Evans, slowly spoke.
Her eyes were icy cold as she said, âIâm sorry, but this matter wonât end so easily.â
Rose looked innocent: âXaviera, what more do you want?â
âYouâre right. Mr. Duke has indeed been in this room.â
Xavieraâs words stunned the crowd as she leisurely added, âMr. Duke said that my parents sold me to him!â
Derek Evans:
Everyone gaped in disbelief. What was going on?
So, was Mr. Dukeâs secretary telling the truth?
Xaviera continued, âLater, 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?â
Upon hearing Xavieraâs words, Derek suddenly looked up, only to find everyoneâs disgusted gaze falling on him.
âXaviera, donât listen to Mr. Dukeâs nonsense. I am your biological father. How could I sell you to him? He must have just made up that excuse!â âAh, youâre right,â Xaviera said with a helpless expression.
âBut why did Mr. Duke know I was here? And he even had a room card. Who gave him the card?â
âAlso, 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. Thatâs why I was waiting here.â
âBut 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 checkedâŠâ
Upon Xavieraâs words, Rose Campbell immediately became anxious.
She hurriedly interrupted, âXaviera, I just thought you looked a little weak, so I let you come upstairs to restâŠâ
Her eyes darted around, âYou must have accidentally lost your room card, and
Mr. Duke picked it up and followed you in.â
Xaviera remained noncommittal, âThatâs possible, butâŠâ
She elongated her words, her cold gaze sweeping over Rose, finding her nervous and guilty appearance extremely interesting.
âMrs. Campbell, you seem to have forgotten that this room was booked in your name!â
Roseâs face turned pale!
âYou brought me here, gave Mr. Duke a room card, and then rushed in with everyone for a âcaught in the actâ scene. How exciting!â
Clap, clap!
Xaviera leisurely applauded.
Roseâs face turned dark.
Gaby Rome sneered, âSo, the one who booked the room was Mrs. Campbell!â
âXaviera 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!â
Xaviera spoke in a wronged tone, âMrs. 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? Itâs just too much of a coincidenceâŠâ
âDid 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 daughterâs sight?â
Rose Campbellâs 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.
âEnough!â
Derek Evans suddenly spoke, his face cast in a terrible shadow.
âYou are my daughter! How could Rose and I have done such a thing? Letâs put an end to this now. Just let it go that you may have wronged Rose and donât delay the banquet any longer because of our familyâs personal affairs..â
