Chapter 144

However, with Ophelia looking like this, he didn’t lose out. He couldn’t help but swallow as he gazed at the girl’s captivating figure. Thinking to himself, given Ophelia’s looks and figure, after he had made use of the Greene family, if she couldn’t bear to part with him, he wouldn’t be unable to reluctantly accept and continue their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship… He just hoped that she wouldn’t resort to tricks like crying, throwing a tantrum, or threatening to hang herself at that time; he was tired of them and didn’t like them.

“Ophelia…” Immersed in his fantasies, he had a shifty look in his eyes and reached out his hand, wanting to touch Ophelia’s shoulder. Ophelia’s gaze turned cold. Just before he was about to touch her clothes, she suddenly raised her hand, grabbed his wrist, and with a fierce snap!

“Ah!!” Jasper let out a piercing scream, instantly waking up from his beautiful fantasies!

“What do you want to do? Hmm.” Ophelia tossed him aside like garbage, looking down at him with a mocking gaze. “Do you like me? Do you think you deserve that? Don’t you realize what a pathetic piece of trash you are? Who gave you the confidence to be so sure of yourself?”

She waved her hand in front of her nose in disgust and said, “Stay away from me in the future. Just breathing the same air as you makes me feel sick!”

Having said that, he lifted his foot and left. Jasper was left squatting on the ground, clutching his wrist that hurt as if it were broken, his face covered in cold sweat, his complexion pale, and his expression twisted in agony.

“Little, little brat! You wait!!” He called back with a heart full of anger, gritting his teeth as he said, “Mrs. Greene, the deal you mentioned before, I agreed to it!”

Ophelia did not know what had happened behind her. As she walked away, she still felt an overwhelming sense of unease.

“Cousin!” Suddenly, a cheerful sound from her cousin came from one side. Ophelia instinctively turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw a girl running towards her. The frown on her forehead instantly relaxed, and a smile unconsciously curved at the corners of her lips.

“Cousin, how come you are here? I waited for you at the school gate for a long time and didn’t see you!”

“Just a little something,” Ophelia casually brushed it off, not intending to bring up that disgusting thing about Jasper.

“Oh! Cousin, why didn’t you come to class yesterday? Were you feeling unwell?” Lenora asked again, her big eyes looking at her with concern.

Ophelia cleared her throat lightly, avoided her cousin’s innocent gaze, and said without changing her expression, “I had something to do, so I took a leave.”

“Oh!” Lenora, who completely trusted her cousin, had no doubts at all. Ophelia quietly rubbed her hot ears and let out a sigh without showing any signs of it.

Lenora suddenly said again, “By the way, cousin, weren’t you looking for a talented chef? I found one for you. He was a royal chef and is now working at a five-star hotel. And I asked for you, and they were willing to teach!”

Ophelia was taken aback. The idea of looking for a chef was just a casual remark she made a few days ago—she actually intended to handle it herself, but she didn’t expect that Lenora took it to heart and even went out of her way to help her find one.

With warmth in her heart, she looked at her cousin gently and stroked her hair, saying, “Thank you, Nora.” Just four short words made Lenora’s eyes sparkle.

“I didn’t do anything either,” she said helplessly.

Ophelia smiled slightly and said, “Let’s go, we’ll go to class first.” Lenora obediently replied. She actually didn’t have any classes today; she came to school specifically to see her cousin, and at that moment, she was going to class with her cousin.

Chapter 44

Ophelia had four classes in the morning, with the first two being major courses and the last two being elective courses. After finishing the first two classes, she pulled Lenora out of the school gate.

“Cousin, we could go after class; that master chef would be at the hotel all day, so we wouldn’t have to worry about not finding him, why skip class?” Lenora asked in confusion.

“Because after class, I had to go back. If I returned late, your cousin’s husband would be unhappy.” Ophelia’s tone was helpless, but the corners of her mouth were clearly turned up slightly, giving her a sweet appearance.

Lenora said enviously and happily, “Cousin and her husband are so loving!” Suddenly, she understood. “Did my cousin look for the chef for the sake of her husband?”
