Chapter 169

They only came to their senses when they heard the host say, “Please welcome the guests,” and they all stretched their necks, excitedly looking in a certain direction. On the left side of the stage, the guests entered one by one, accompanied by the school leaders.

“Which one? Which one is that mysterious big shot?”

“Everyone is so old! Which one is Elva’s boyfriend?”

After looking around, they found that none of them looked alike. Just then, they discovered that out of the ten guests, only nine had arrived! The seat in the middle of the guest area was still empty!

“The one left must be Elva’s mysterious boyfriend!!”

Only that legendary mysterious big shot could be assigned such a special position!

Just as they were speculating, in full view of everyone, Principal George received a phone call, suddenly stood up, and hurriedly left his seat with several school leaders, quickly walking towards the outside. Under the gaze of the crowd, their eyes instinctively followed them. Then, at the entrance, a luxurious convoy of bodyguard vehicles suddenly appeared.

The convoy slowly came to a stop, and several school leaders quickly walked to the luxurious car in the center; their attitude was one of utmost respect. Amidst the attention of the crowd, the car door opened, and a figure stepped out, coming into everyone's sight.

The man was tall and upright, with deep and handsome features. He had an extraordinary noble demeanor, and his presence commanded respect without any need for anger. The school leaders, who appeared dignified in front of others, instinctively bent their waists in front of him, as if they were a group of followers.

“Welcome, Mr. Winford!” Principal George smiled broadly.

Winford nodded slightly and casually glanced around, but he did not see his young wife’s figure for the time being. However, he was not in a hurry.

“I ran into some issues on the way and arrived late,” he explained.

George was taken aback and said, “Not late at all, Mr. Winford arrived just in time!”

What did it matter to be a little late? Even if he only showed up after the school anniversary had ended, he was still deeply grateful! Winford’s expression was cold, and he responded briefly to a couple of remarks. With steady steps, he naturally walked at the front, surrounded by a group of school leaders, exuding the demeanor of a born leader!

In the stands:

“Is this, is this the big shot?”

“Oh my gosh, is this Elva’s boyfriend? He’s so handsome!!”

After a brief silence, the stands suddenly erupted. The most exciting thing was undoubtedly Elva’s entourage.

“Woo woo woo, Elva was so happy!!”

“How could there be such an outstanding man in the world? He was powerful, wealthy, handsome, and yet he was also deeply affectionate and devoted!”

“Elva was happily dead, but someone must have been filled with hatred in their heart! No matter how she tried to seduce him, the big shot only loved Elva and wouldn’t even glance at her!”

They were as proud as if they had a connection with Winford, while envying and praising Elva, and delighting in belittling Ophelia.

Unlike Elva’s class, the atmosphere in Ophelia’s class was somewhat gloomy. Lucy looked astonished.

“Did I not see it wrong? Why does this mysterious…”

“…look a bit…”

“You didn’t see it wrong; this big shot was the one we encountered at the hotel before!”

Someone said with a hint of luck and hope, “Earlier at the hotel, he had a pretty good attitude towards Ophelia…”

“That was because Ophelia was the owner of the hotel! But it was different now; he definitely had to support his girlfriend. Ophelia had offended Elva, so how could that big shot possibly show her any mercy?”

The person who said this was Stella. She was different from others; she had not only seen Winford at the hotel, but she had also seen him at the apartment. She even knew that this man was Ophelia’s sugar daddy!

But so what? Hmph, Ophelia’s shameful appearance was just a little plaything kept by a big shot. Now that she ran into the “main wife,” Elva, she was definitely going to be finished! Her tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

“Shut up! Ophelia was so good to you before, and you turned out to be a white-eyed wolf!” Lucy said angrily.

Others also glared at Stella. But no matter how much I hated Stella, I understood that what she said was right! For a moment, everyone felt a bit anxious and worried for Ophelia.

They looked up at the stage—there stood ten elegantly dressed members of the ceremonial team, and Elva and Ophelia were among them!
