Chapter 108

Today was not the first day of school, and outsiders weren't allowed to enter the building freely, so she had to bring down her things one by one, by herself.

“Ophelia…?”

At the stairway, I suddenly ran into a group of people, including Lucy and others. The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. If it had been earlier, they would have rolled their eyes and delivered sarcastic remarks. However, after what happened in the afternoon, everyone now knew they had misunderstood Ophelia before.

In the past, what they disliked most about Ophelia was that she was clearly just a distant relative of the Greene family, yet she vainly claimed to be the legitimate daughter. Additionally, they resented the fact that she didn't have enough grades and had to buy her way into Ventura University. The most important thing was that every time Bessie came, she would intentionally or unintentionally mention how Ophelia was doing at home.

For example, Dad bought a pair of earrings that she really liked, but Ophelia also liked them, so she could only give them to Ophelia. For example, a certain brand had given her a beautiful dress, but she could only touch it because Ophelia liked it, and she couldn’t compete with Ophelia for it… There were countless examples like this.

Imagine: Ophelia was just a distant relative who was fostered, yet she competed with Bessie, the legitimate daughter, for everything. Bessie even had to give way to her. Who could possibly like such a domineering, willful person who lacked self-awareness? Nature was extremely disgusted!

However, at that time, the truth was completely different from what they knew; Ophelia was actually the legitimate daughter of the Greene family! As the only daughter of the Greene family, wasn’t it natural for her father to buy her earrings? The dress sent by the brand that collaborated with the Greene family was no problem for her. What did the things of the Greene family have to do with her, Bessie?

As for the purchase of Ventura University…

“Ophelia, how many points did you score on the SAT?” Lucy asked.

Ophelia raised an eyebrow and asked, “697, is there a problem?”

A few people gasped in shock. 697? That was higher than any of them! Someone blurted out, “Then why didn’t you say so before? We thought you had bought it…”

Ophelia tugged at her lip and said, “I told you, would you believe it?”

A few people suddenly felt a bit awkward.

Indeed, regarding those rumors, Ophelia had also defended herself, but they had never believed her!

“Who told you that I bought it?”

“Everyone said so, and everyone knew that when you and Bessie enrolled, the Greene family had donated a substantial amount of money to the school…”

Did everyone say that? Ophelia sneered inwardly; no wonder Hannah had been so sarcastic towards her before! In her past life, she hadn’t heard this rumor; it was obvious that Bessie had controlled the situation, deliberately preventing her from hearing it. Otherwise, if she had revealed her own grades, wouldn’t it have exposed who had actually bought their way in?

Looking at the few people in front of her, she had a somewhat mocking expression in her eyes. “You all had such a good relationship with Bessie. Didn’t she ever tell you that the money was donated for her?”

“Let me think, ah, she seemed to have only scored a little over three hundred points on the SAT, right? Aren’t you friends? You didn’t know this?”

Lucy and the others were dumbfounded. So the one that was bought was Bessie?! God knows how many times Bessie had come across them discussing and attacking Ophelia, but she had never explained it!

“Bessie was really shameless!” someone whispered.

“What’s so strange about this? Didn’t she always say that Ophelia was a distant relative of the Greene family?”

A few people had completely seen through Bessie!

“By the way, we were going to the supermarket to browse around. Would you like to join us?” Lucy awkwardly invited Ophelia.

“No, thank you. I have something else to attend to. You all go ahead,” Ophelia politely and distantly declined.

She gave a slight nod and continued to walk upstairs. Lucy looked at her silhouette and felt a bit lost in her heart.

Ophelia looked normal when she dressed up. She often stole glances at her, and more than once, she found herself staring. Previously, she had disliked her and had forced herself to suppress the desire to get close to her. But now, knowing that Ophelia was not really that kind of person, she wanted to be friends with her, yet it seemed that Ophelia had no such intention…

It’s not surprising that people felt that way; after all, she had been so foolish before to actually believe Bessie and had said so many hurtful things to her!
