“Surely it was you, Elva! Otherwise, how could the lady’s heel have broken for no reason? If it weren’t for Mr. Winford’s quick reaction, the lady would have fallen off the platform!”

She issued an angry accusation: “Elva, you were so malicious!”

Ophelia looked confused. Ah, no, she hadn’t even started to show her abilities yet! As for Winford, it was nothing to worry about, but he never expected that Lily could also lie down and win!

After Lily finished speaking, the room fell silent. Glenda was in disbelief, completely shocked. “Elva, is this all true?!”

“Not at all, Madam Pruitt, I…”

“You shut up!” Glenda trembled with anger. “Fine, I treated you like half a granddaughter, and this is how you deceive and use me?!”

“No, Madam Pruitt, Elva was the one you watched grow up. How could she be that kind of person!” Bertha panicked and hurried to defend her daughter. She shot a fierce glare at Lily. “You just said that Elva is like your half-granddaughter, so how could you not believe Elva’s words and instead trust a servant’s?”

Chapter 188

Ophelia mockingly curled her lip. Bertha’s words made it sound as if the status of a servant was something despicable, but wasn’t she a servant herself? Those who didn’t know might have thought she held some noble status!

Seeing that Glenda’s expression seemed to waver, she immediately interjected, “But Grandma, I am still your granddaughter-in-law. How could you not believe me and choose to trust Elva instead?”

She continued, “Besides, there is Mr. Winford; Mr. Winford would never stoop to lie for Elva!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Glenda’s expression changed repeatedly. Seeing that Bertha wanted to say more, she immediately shouted in anger, “Enough!”

She looked at Elva with disappointment and said, “So everything about being bullied is false. You were the one who spread rumors and slandered others at school, and even designed to hurt someone else’s foot, yet you still accused the victim first?”

“I…” Elva’s face turned pale as she felt the disdainful gazes from the servants, as well as Glenda’s disappointed look and Mr. Winford’s cold stare. She finally couldn’t hold it in any longer, and tears streamed down her face.

“I didn’t want that either! But why should it be like this?” She suddenly raised her red eyes and stared fiercely at Ophelia. “Clearly, I had known Mr. Winford for so many years before, and I grew up with him. What does she, Ophelia, have that compares to me? Why is it her who gets to marry Mr. Winford?”

She gasped for breath and cried, “If Mr. Winford is going to marry someone, it should be me, what is Ophelia even worth!”

This statement stunned everyone. Glenda looked astonished. Ophelia was also shocked. How could anyone say such shameless words?

“What am I? I also want to ask you, what are you?” She sarcastically retorted, “Why should I marry Mr. Winford? Because my mother is impressive? Because I have been betrothed to him for a long time?”

“What do you have? A mother who is a servant and an overreaching heart?!”

Even if Winford was sick and the woman he was to marry did not care about family background, it was still unlikely that he would marry the daughter of a servant!

“Shouldn’t he marry you instead? What kind of dream were you having when it wasn’t even dark yet? Just because Mr. Winford grew up in the Pruitt family, does that mean he should marry you? With so many servants in the Pruitt family, wouldn’t Mr. Winford end up with a harem of three thousand? Not even a rocket launcher could pierce through your thick skin!”

Ophelia’s merciless outburst was sharper than a knife, and Elva’s face immediately turned hot. She had never felt so wronged before. Subconsciously, she looked at Winford, only to see that the man who had always been so cold not only didn’t think there was anything wrong with Ophelia, but also leisurely brought her a glass of water and asked her, “Are you thirsty?”

With a hint of a smile in his sharp brows, his eyes revealed an unreserved indulgence and affection. She didn’t look this way at all.

Ophelia took a sip of water from Winford’s hand and then said, “I quit!”

She looked up and saw the man’s handsome and sharp face. As if declaring her ownership, she wrapped her arms around his, giving Elva a cold snort. How could they still have designs on her husband right in front of her, as if she were dead?!

Winford indulged her, a hint of affectionate amusement flickering in his eyes, as if he particularly liked her fierce demeanor. Elva’s face turned even paler, and she felt a deep hatred in her heart!

She said resentfully, “Yes, I am the daughter of a servant, but how much better are you? Madam Pruitt even said I am half her granddaughter. The Greene family is of such a low status that you can’t compare to me at all!”

Bertha felt heartbroken for her daughter and hoarsely said to Glenda, “Madam Pruitt, my man saved your life; it was because of you that he died! Such a great favor, isn’t it enough for Elva to marry into the Pruitt family?!”

Not only did Elva think this way, but Bertha also confidently felt the same, leaving everyone once again astonished!

Glenda tightly gripped the cane in her hand and took a deep breath. “Shut up!” she said. She looked at Bertha in disbelief and said, “Don’t tell me that you have thought this way all these years!”
