Chapter 519: If She is Unkind, Don't Blame Me for Being UnjustChapter 519: If She is Unkind, Don't Blame Me for Being Unjust Mrs. Campbell looked at Anna crying sadly, her heart aching and tears flowing.
Much to her irritation, she noticed Xaviera Evans standing at the staircase with a look of indifference.
"You're a jinx! It's all your fault! That room was originally yours, but you insisted on taking Anna’s room and forcing her to move into the basement.

Anna was harmed because of you!" The room went silent as her words fell.
Nanny Crabtree, an outsider, could hardly bear to listen. Although Miss Drew had been missing for twenty years, she was still the Campbell family's daughter. Besides, it's not her fault that the basement suddenly caught fire.
But as a servant, she dared not criticize Mrs. Campbell. Afraid that Evans would be wronged, she was about to speak up on her behalf when--- Evans suddenly looked aggrieved: "What does the basement fire have to do with me? Is it okay if my room catches fire, but if Anna’s room catches fire, it's my fault? Instead of blaming me, perhaps Mrs. Campbell should send someone to investigate where the fire started to prevent another disaster." "By the way, Mrs. Campbell, you just reminded me that the room was arranged for me by Anna. Now that it suddenly caught fire, did she do something in the room and want to set it ablaze to harm me? If so, the matter of the adopted daughter plotting against the Campbell family’s daughter would become a major issue." Evans then grinned: "Fortunately, | wasn't the one who got burnt, so Anna doesn't need to bear the blame of attempting to harm the Campbell family's daughter." Anna's face flushed red with anger.
"It was you who started the fire!" Mrs. Campbell yelled.
Evans feigned innocence: "Mrs. Campbell, what are you talking about? I've been upstairs the whole time. Nanny Crabtree and the other servants can testify. How could | have gone down to the basement to start a fire?" Nanny Crabtree confirmed: "Madam, Miss Drew has been upstairs the whole time and hasn't gone down or even been to the basement." Upon hearing this, everyone was indignant. The adopted daughter's room caught fire, but the biological daughter was blamed? Everyone had witnessed Miss Drew staying in her room; how could she be held responsible? Miss Drew was right - Anna arranged the basement room; perhaps she was envious of Miss Drew's status and sabotaged the room. She didn't expect it to catch fire soon after entering, but it wasn't Miss Drew's fault - it was her own fault! Evans glanced at the mother and daughter and sneered: "You two can continue crying. | won't disturb you." "You!" Mrs. Campbell's face contorted with hatred.
"Xaviera! Even if you didn't start the fire, you're still the cause of all the misfortune in this house! When you were gone, the family was peaceful. But as soon as you returned, so many things happened - now Anna's room catches fire! Who knows what terrifying things might happen in the future!" Evans stopped in her tracks.
It was true that Caleb Mamet ordered the fire, but he wouldn't leave any trace behind. Why make such a scene? If flammable materials were found in the room, wouldn't that make them suspicious? There was only one reason - the room itself was already problematic. It contained many flammable items, and it was arranged by Anna.

Anna was quite scheming indeed! Since Anna showed no mercy, Xaviera Evans couldn't be blamed for being ruthless herself.
Xaviera turned and spoke coldly, "If Mrs. Campbell insists the fire had something to do with me, why not call the police and have them check why the basement caught fire for no reason?" As soon as she finished speaking, the fire chief walked over, "Mrs. Campbell, we found residual flammable powder on the floor of the basement room.
Moreover, there were many flammable items stored in the corner. If the indoor temperature reaches a certain degree, they will catch fire. Please don't scatter such powder on the ground in the future." "This time it was just this room that burned, and there were no casualties. If you mess around like this again, the whole villa could be swallowed by the flames!" Anna's face turned rigid.
Mrs. Campbell was stunned for a moment, then looked at Anna incredulously, “Anna, you..." "The chief said it himself. Who do you think had the opportunity to scatter flammable powder in the room and pile up flammable items? The fact is right in front of you, whether you believe it or not is up to Mrs.. Campbell's own discretion!"
