Chapter 183

“I wonder how Winford has been lately?” she said to Vivian beside her. “It’s about time to go back and see him.”

The weather had turned a bit cool, and Vivian draped a coat over Glenda, smiling as she reassured her, “Mr. Winford must have been doing well during this time; after all, he had Mrs. Ophelia Pruitt by his side.”

Glenda nodded in agreement, her expression relaxing a bit. “The Greene family’s little girl was quite good.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the phone suddenly rang; it was Elva calling. As soon as the call connected, a desperate voice filled with tears from Elva came through the phone.

“Madam Pruitt, I begged you to come back quickly! My mom was about to die because someone harmed her!”

Glenda was shocked. “What happened?!”

Elva cried, “It was Ophelia, it was her fault!”

Glenda’s expression suddenly darkened. “Explain it clearly; what exactly happened?”

“Ugh… It’s all my fault. I stole Ophelia’s spotlight at school, and she couldn’t stand me, so she wanted to kick me out of Sunset Vista… My mom went to help me plead for mercy. She neither agreed nor said anything, and in front of a large crowd, she demanded my mom kneel and bow down… Madam Pruitt, please come back! My mom is still in the hospital, unconscious. The doctor said her forehead injury is very serious…”

After hanging up the phone, Glenda’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, and she immediately instructed, “Prepare the car; let’s go back!”

She had previously thought that Ophelia was a good girl, but now it seemed that she had misjudged her. How long had she been gone before such a thing happened? No matter how Bertha said it, she had followed her for so many years, and her husband was still her savior. Elva had also grown up by her side, and there was hardly any difference from a half-granddaughter. What was Ophelia trying to do?! The next step was to tear down the sky of Sunset Vista! Even if she could make Winford happy, she could not tolerate his outrageous behavior!

The Apartment

Just a short while after entering, Winford had to go out again. Ophelia was sitting alone in her wheelchair, sliding back and forth, when she suddenly received a phone call from Sunset Vista, saying that Glenda had returned and asking her to come back for a visit.

Ophelia’s eyelid twitched. “Grandma came back?”

Glenda had gone to stay at the church recently, and she was aware of it.

“Yes, madam,” the servant on the other end of the phone lowered his voice and subtly reminded, “Also, Bertha and Elva were there too…”

“Okay, I got it.” Ophelia narrowed her eyes, her tone calm. “It must have been Elva and Bertha who complained to Madam Pruitt first!”

After hanging up the phone, Lily immediately said with some anger, “But Madam Pruitt liked the lady so much that she definitely did not help them bully her!”

Lily was very confident and was not worried at all about Ophelia being called back to Sunset Vista. Ophelia tugged at her lip but didn’t say anything.

Did Glenda like her? Of course, she did, but that bit of liking was not because of her as a person, but because of Winford. Therefore, it was not solid at all and could easily dissipate or collapse at any moment when faced with some issues. As for whom Glenda would help? She did not forget that Bertha’s husband died for Glenda!

Her gaze dimmed for a moment, and she calmly instructed, “Prepare the car; we are going back to Sunset Vista.”

Sunset Vista

Ophelia sat in the wheelchair, pushed in by Lily. Entering the living room, Glenda had indeed returned, sitting there with a serious expression on her face. In front of Glenda stood Bertha, whose head was wrapped in bandages and whose eyes clearly showed that she had been crying, along with Elva, who was huddled behind her, looking pitiful as if she had been bullied.

When she saw her enter, Glenda looked over, and her expression suddenly became cold and sharp. It was obvious that Bertha and Elva had already filed a lawsuit first!

Ophelia remained calm and obediently called out, “Grandma.”

“Back?” Glenda said in a low voice.

“Yes. I don’t know why Grandma called me back,” Ophelia asked as if she didn’t see the weak and miserable Bertha, her expression remaining unchanged.

“Don’t you know what happened?” Glenda looked at her with sharp eyes, suddenly slamming her cane down with force. “I was still at the church when I received the call, saying that Bertha had been hospitalized and was in critical condition. I heard it was you who did this!”

“What did you have to say?!”

Lily was directly startled by Glenda’s attitude.
