Chapter 178

George looked at the girl in surprise, and his gaze softened. Ophelia’s gaze shifted to Paul again. Paul’s fat shook.

Ophelia’s lips curled into a cold smile. “As for Mr. Griffin… being such a grown man, he should understand that he needs to take responsibility for his own mistakes, right?” The meaning was simply to do whatever needed to be done.

Winford added nothing more, instructing Graham, “Did you hear that clearly?” Graham said, “Listen carefully!”

Paul’s legs went weak instantly, and tears streamed down his face. “Mr. Winford—” Before the plea for mercy could be uttered, the bodyguard had already “invited” him out.

Ophelia watched happily, thinking that she hoped Paul would learn to be an upright person after this, and then her husband would be truly virtuous! Seeing Paul being “asked” to leave, Ophelia politely had someone send George back.

Seeing that George still seemed to have doubts and worried that Winford might have opinions about Ventura University due to this unpleasant incident, she added, “Mr. Estrada, don’t worry, my husband is very magnanimous!” Hearing this comment, even Winford himself fell into an oddly silent moment.

But George was taken aback for a moment, then felt relieved, smiled kindly, and left with his bodyguard. Ophelia was about to look away when she suddenly noticed something and abruptly turned her head. Outside the door, a group of people had arrived at some point without her noticing, and they were staring at her in astonishment!

Ophelia was taken aback for a moment before she spoke, “Lucy? When did you all arrive?” Standing at the door was none other than Lucy and the others!

Lucy cautiously glanced at the man beside her and said hesitantly, “We were worried, so we came to check on you.” They saw Ophelia almost fall from the stands. Although she was saved by someone, she was carried away, which made them worry that she might have been injured. Seeing Elva rush to the hospital with those followers, they couldn’t help but feel worried and followed her as well.

Who knew, it was just watching such a grand performance! Elva actually was the daughter of a maid, and those luxury cars were all borrowed! Elva had nothing to do with this legendary big shot; instead, it turned out that Ophelia, who was rumored to be the mistress, was actually the big shot’s wife!

The identity of the big shot seemed quite impressive; even their principal had to show some respect when meeting her! Regarding the identity of the big shot, Hannah, who came from a relatively well-off family, seemed to have guessed something. Along the way, she told them the big shot had a ruthless temperament, violent methods, and the greatest disdain for women, never taking women seriously…

They heard this and were extremely worried about Ophelia. However, when they reached the door, they saw Ophelia complaining and acting cute, asking the big boss to peel an apple for her, and the man was completely responsive to her! This doesn’t match at all with what Hannah said! At that moment, even Hannah fell silent.

Because there were many people inside, they didn’t dare to go in and stayed at the door, hesitating about whether to quietly leave. It was then that Ophelia noticed them. “I was fine, you all could come in!” Ophelia said.

Lucy and the others looked at Winford with some fear and didn’t dare to move. Hannah’s brainwashing was one reason, and the man’s imposing presence was another. Seeing this, Ophelia shook Winford’s arm and said, “Honey, they are all my classmates and my best friends at school!”

Winford nodded slightly and looked towards the door, “Come in, everyone.” Lucy and the others then stepped into the ward. “Ophelia, your foot… is it okay?”

Seeing Ophelia applying medicine to her ankle, Lucy asked with concern. Ophelia glanced at Winford with a hint of guilt and cleared her throat, “It’s nothing, I just twisted my ankle a bit. The doctor said it would be fine in a couple of days…” She fell on purpose, but she definitely did not twist her ankle on purpose!

After exchanging a few words, seeing that Ophelia was indeed fine, Lucy cleared her throat and said, “Then we will leave first. We’ll wait for you to return to school!” Ophelia reluctantly asked, “Are we really leaving now?”

She was somewhat afraid to face Winford’s frightening cold face. It was not easy to have someone around to keep her husband from lashing out at her for the time being, and now, just a few minutes later, he was about to leave! Lucy was somewhat puzzled by her eager gaze, but they didn’t dare stay here for even a minute longer!
