Chapter 181
Ophelia recalled that when she was in the hospital, Winford had indeed looked down and operated his phone; the order was probably given at that time. Was Elva finally going to be kicked out of Sunset Vista? It was really delightful! She smiled unabashedly.
A look of hatred crossed Berthaโs eyes, and in front of everyone, she cried even more pitifully. Ophelia was not moved at all. She scoffed, โIsnโt this the ending that Elva should have? You didnโt think she could continue to stay in Sunset Vista after doing something like that, did you?โ
โIt was already very merciful to just drive her out; what more did you want?โ
Upon hearing this, Bertha suddenly knocked her head against the ground and said, โMadam, I am bowing to you, I beg you, I beg you!โ She hit it very hard, one after another, and surprisingly, after just a couple of hits, her forehead started to bleed!
Seeing the other partyโs malicious intentions, Opheliaโs face suddenly turned cold. As expected, some onlookers could no longer bear to watch.
โYou little girl, why was your heart so cold? The aunt was hurt, didnโt you see?!โ
โYeah! And what era is it now, yet you still let people kneel and bow to you? What kind of precious status is that?โ
โTsk tsk, it was obvious that this person was wealthy. The aunt was really unfortunate, being humiliated like this!โ
Bertha came prepared, wearing very simple clothes that were almost worn out. In contrast, Ophelia had not yet changed out of her ceremonial dress, and her demeanor and grace were far from ordinary. Moreover, she was accompanied by so many bodyguards, making the contrast in their statuses quite striking!
At that moment, the unsuspecting passersby each began to speculate and imagine their own interpretations. Especially Bertha, portraying herself as so pitiful in front of others, while Ophelia remained aloof and cold. A scene of a powerful and wealthy heiress oppressing a poor family was vividly imagined!
โAuntie, donโt be afraid! Whatever happened, just tell us, and we will all help you. I refuse to believe that there are no laws in this world!โ A young man stepped out and said angrily, while trying to help Bertha up.
A glimmer of triumphant calculation flashed in Berthaโs eyes, but she lowered her head to wipe away her tears and said, โThank you, thank you, but I wouldnโt dare to rise without the ladyโs permission!โ
They actually had to continue kneeling on the ground! In an instant, countless angry gazes gathered on Ophelia. Ophelia didnโt even furrow her brows; she even showed a beautiful smile.
โSince Bertha liked kneeling so much, she continued to kneel!โ As she spoke, she gestured for the bodyguard to push her away. This action, however, instantly ignited the anger of the righteous bystanders.
The young man directly blocked her way and angrily said, โHow could there be such a cruel person like you in this world? Do you plan to make Auntie kneel until the end of time?!โ
Opheliaโs gaze turned cold, and she let out a light scoff, directly retorting, โDid I make her kneel?โ
Without waiting for the other person to speak, she sarcastically curled her lip and said, โI found you all really strange. Did I do anything from beginning to end? Wasnโt it her who came out to stop me? Wasnโt it her who knelt down and bowed? Didnโt I just now ask someone to help her up?โ
โI didnโt do anything, and as a result, just because I didnโt agree to her request, everything was my fault?โ
The young manโs anger came to a halt. The onlookers around were pointing and whispering, and the voices of criticism quieted down for a moment.
The young man quickly reacted, โWhat do you mean you did nothing? We all heard what the aunt just said! She relied on her wealth and power to manipulate other peopleโs daughtersโ futures. Who would dare to stand up to her?!โ
People around who had reacted also echoed, โYeah! How can they call it nothing when they have oppressed people like this?โ
Ophelia interrupted without hesitation, โItโs really funny. Do you know what the truth is?โ
She directly asked the young man, โIf I were to slap your mother right now and then have you forgive me, you would definitely do it, right? Otherwise, you would just be bullying me because you have money and power!โ
The young manโs face stiffened. Ophelia snorted coldly, โEveryone only listened to one side of the story. You all didnโt leave home today without your brains, did you?โ
The self-righteous bystanders who pointed fingers were all silenced. Ophelia turned her wheelchair and was about to leave.
Bertha was unwilling, โMadam-โ
โWhat were you doing?โ The manโs cold, condensed voice suddenly came through.
