Chapter 175

She couldn’t go in; otherwise, everything would have been over!

“Elva, since you have come, why are you leaving?” Ophelia’s soft and melodious voice suddenly sounded.

Elva suddenly froze. Ophelia snorted coldly and directly instructed the bodyguard at the door, “Please bring in ‘Ms. Sherman’!”

A mocking “Ms. Sherman” made everyone cast strange looks at Elva, who felt her mind go blank and instinctively wanted to run away. As soon as she moved, she was caught by the bodyguard and forcibly taken into the hospital room! Even her followers were not left out; one by one, none of them were allowed to leave.

What if there were those who had bullied their lady among them?

“Mr. Winford…” Elva’s voice trembled, and she did not dare to look up at the man. She grew up in the Pruitt family since she was little, and no one knew better than her how ruthless he was and how cold his methods were! But she was unwilling to admit defeat! After all those years of affection, she was always different in his heart! For example, the previous few wives; she had often targeted them, and he clearly knew that, so wasn’t he also condoning her behavior?

Thinking of this, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief, raised her slightly reddened eyes, and put on the most pitiful and charming expression as she looked at the man, “Mr. Winford, I…”

“Honey, I wanted to eat an apple!” A melodious voice suddenly broke the mood she had been cultivating! Ophelia tugged at Winford’s sleeve and gave Elva a slight smile.

Did she really think she could seduce her husband in front of her, as if she were dead? Also, wasn’t she very bold before? Didn’t she spread those rumors about the school? At that time, I had the courage to do it; now, why do I no longer have the courage to take responsibility?

“Hubby?” Ophelia tugged at the man’s sleeve and playfully shook it. Winford lowered his gaze and glanced at her lightly, instructing the bodyguard, “Peel an apple for the lady.”

The ward had fruit; the treatment at the private hospital was excellent for its supreme VIP patients. When Ophelia was admitted, the hospital had prepared everything for her. Even her sprained ankle was personally examined by the dean! The bodyguard was about to take action, but Ophelia said, “No, I want to eat what you peeled!”

She originally just wanted to find a reason to interrupt Elva, but he was so indifferent that she suddenly felt a bit gloomy.

Winford pressed down the corners of his lips and didn’t move. Elva had still been angry, but upon seeing this, she couldn’t help but laugh inwardly with glee.

What is called seeking death? This is called seeking death! In front of Mr. Winford, Ophelia had become so arrogant due to his favoritism that she seemed to have lost all sense of direction! Not to mention that Mr. Winford could not possibly do such a thing in private; even now, in front of so many people, what was his status? How could he possibly peel an apple for her, Ophelia, with his own hands? Did he not care about his reputation at all?!

Others thought the same way, especially Paul, who looked at Ophelia with a crazy expression, secretly wondering how Ophelia could be so oblivious to the situation. This was Mr. Winford! How could she dare to have Mr. Winford serve her in front of so many people?

He suddenly thought that although Mr. Winford said Ophelia was his wife, Ophelia had been enrolled at Ventura University for quite some time, and he had never heard Mr. Winford publicly declare her identity! They didn’t even greet them and asked them to take care of Ophelia. What does this indicate? It indicates that this “Mrs. Ophelia Pruitt” perhaps did not hold such a high position in Mr. Winford’s heart…

The more Paul thought about it, the more his mind became active. Did this mean that as long as he handled things well, Mr. Winford might not hold it against him this time? As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Paul anticipated that Mr. Winford would quickly lose his temper, become disgusted with Ophelia, and perhaps not hold him accountable for this incident!

As Winford’s expression grew increasingly cold and hard, Elva and Paul’s anticipation was almost overflowing from their eyes.

Finally, Winford spoke up— “Give me.” He said to the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately handed over the apple and the knife.

“You’re so nice, my dear!” Ophelia smiled and sweetly hugged the man’s waist. She knew that even when he was angry with her, this man still spoiled her!

Elva and Paul widened their eyes, showing expressions of disbelief. Winford coldly raised his eyes and said, “What’s wrong? I was just peeling an apple for my wife, and you have a problem with that?”
