Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

587  Chapter 587: An Unspeakable Secret

"A foster daughter has 30% of the shares, even more than Adrian, while the biological daughter has none. Do you think that's fair?" Caleb coldly countered.

"Mr. Campbell, you know very well that status is just a title. The true sign of nobility is the ownership of shares. If Xaviera doesn't have any shares, she will always be overshadowed by Anna."

Anna clenched her teeth.

No, she could not allow it! Those shares belong to her! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This bitch Xaviera was just waiting for her all along. She didn't want to return to the Campbell family but was eyeing her shares, wanting to take them away from her on this occasion.

Nidya also thought so and anxiously interjected, "Mr. Caleb Mamet! This is too much! These shares belong to Anna, and what gives Xaviera the right to take them away just because she's back? Although Xaviera is our biological daughter, we cannot treat Anna unfairly! We have already compromised by agreeing that Xaviera can become Miss Campbell, but the position of the heiress cannot be changed. It must be Anna."

"Xaviera doesn't even have the ability to manage the company! If you give her all the shares, the company will fail under her watch! She should be focusing on learning and becoming better, rather than trying to fight Anna for the shares. It's just her bad luck that she was switched in the past, and it has nothing to do with Anna!"

Mrs. Russell glared furiously.

Caleb's expression remained unchanged, and he scoffed lightly, "Mrs. Campbell is right. Although Xaviera is her biological daughter, the law doesn't require her to leave the shares to her own child. I, Mamet, will not force the issue."

Nidya thought he had backed down and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Mrs. Campbell doesn't agree with my request, there's nothing more to discuss," Caleb said coldly.

Anna's plot against him, Adrian's attempt to kill him, Nidya's insults, and Jeremy's indifference all hurt his vulnerable wife. Even destroying the entire Campbell family wouldn't be enough to quench his anger at this point.

They didn't show any compassion for their long-lost daughter who had been wandering outside for twenty years. Instead, they treated the initiator of these problems well and allowed him to stay in the Campbell family. They even let their real daughter continue to be wronged in the Campbell family and now wouldn't even compensate her with 30% of the shares.

Fine! Very well, then, don't blame him for being ruthless!

With a sinister look in his eyes, Caleb spoke quietly, "Mr. Campbell, Mrs. Campbell, I have given you chances, but you've only managed to upset my wife for Anna's sake. When Mrs. Mamet is unhappy, I, Caleb Mamet, am unhappy. As of today, the Campbell family and I have no more ties!"

His last words, fueled by rage, were like a thunderbolt striking everyone's hearts. It shook Jeremy to his core.

The next second, Caleb's expression softened, and he held Xaviera's hand, "Let's go upstairs and rest."

Jeremy's body nearly gave out, and he nearly toppled to the ground. If Caleb were to strike out against the Campbell family, they would be utterly destroyed. He could not let that happen.

Just as he was about to beg, suddenly—

"Mr. Caleb Mamet! Wait a moment! Do you really want to treat the Campbell family like this, just for Xaviera? She may be married to you, but she isn't suitable for you at all! Only a top noble lady like Anna can serve you well. Why can't you give Anna a chance? You'll definitely like her!"

"Anna doesn't care about anything as long as she's with you. She won't hold any grudges about the past. But a woman like Xaviera definitely won't tolerate it, Mr. Caleb Mamet! You'll regret it someday!"

Xaviera's face darkened. What, did she want to steal her man?

Caleb's eyes were cold. "Mrs. Campbell is such a good mother! Are these the words that should come out of a mother's mouth about 'a woman like Xaviera?'"

"These words may be unpleasant, but I'm telling the truth! Mr. Caleb Mamet, if Xaviera were to know your secret, she would definitely not be able to accept it. But our gentle Anna has always loved you deeply and won't mind your past. Xaviera will find out about this sooner or later, and she will definitely turn against you at that point!"

Everyone looked down on Nidya, who was screaming in indignation.

Caleb's mocking gaze fell on her, and his lips slowly curved into a smile. "I, Mamet, have always been open and honest. Why don't you, Mrs. Campbell, tell me what my secret is?"
