Chapter 196

“It was all right now,” Ophelia smiled with a relaxed expression and said, “Thank you all for your concern for me.” She had a good relationship with Lucy and the others at that time. Even with Hannah, although their conversations were still a bit awkward, they could barely be considered friends.

“Is this the big shot? Did he personally bring you to school?” Lucy quietly glanced at the car and, lowering her voice, asked excitedly.

Ophelia glanced back; the car window was raised, and she could see nothing, but she knew the man was sitting in the back seat, watching her. She instinctively curved the corners of her lips into a smile and said, “Yes.”

“Wow!” Lucy was even more excited than the person involved, and she even covered her mouth. “The big shot treated you so well!” Ophelia gently curved her eyes and did not deny it.

The people around her who were sneaking glances at her were whispering, and she vaguely heard her name, so she glanced over in that direction. Lucy understood and whispered, “Many people are still talking about the school anniversary, with the big shot, and everyone is very curious about your relationship.”

The explosive news that Ophelia and the boss were married was known only to them and Elva’s previous followers. Without Ophelia’s consent, they would not speak about it recklessly at school. The followers also did not know what was on their minds and did not spread the information. Therefore, at that time, no one else at the school knew the true relationship between Ophelia and the boss.

In the past few days, the school forum was quite lively, and the excitement had not yet died down. “There were many interpretations. Some people thought that you didn’t know the big shot, and that you just happened to get injured in front of him. The big shot, being warm-hearted and kind, took you to the hospital.”

“Some people still thought that what Elva said was true, that you were the mistress seducing the big shot… Hmph, but ever since Elva’s true identity was exposed, and everyone learned that she was just the daughter of a maid, not many people believed her previous words anymore! Only a few jealous ‘lemon’ types still believed such rumors!”

Most people were sensible and knew that Elva had been lying all along. The idea that the big shot was just being helpful seemed a bit far-fetched—at that time, Ophelia had almost fallen off the stage, and everyone had seen the big shot’s expression. Moreover, the urgency with which he left, while holding someone in public, didn’t look like he was a stranger at all.

So many people speculated that Ophelia and the big shot must have known each other and had some kind of relationship, but no matter how much they guessed, no one dared to speculate about a marital relationship. Even if they said it, everyone would probably find it ridiculous and wouldn’t believe it at all…

Ophelia heard this and completely disregarded it. However, she turned around and found that the car was still there. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Do you want to go over and say hello to my husband?”

“Ah?” As soon as Ophelia made the suggestion, Lucy and the others were taken aback, and even Hannah felt a bit nervous.

“Is this really possible?” Lucy asked softly, glancing at the car. She still remembered the sense of oppression she felt that day in the hospital. She went up to greet the big boss… Lucy felt a bit excited, but more than that, she was anxious and nervous. Others also looked at Ophelia, clearly feeling the same way.

Ophelia smiled and said, “It’s okay, let’s go.” Since Winford hadn’t left yet, it seemed that he didn’t mind. Ophelia jogged to the side of the car and tapped on the window, “Honey~”

The car window was rolled down, and the man’s dazzlingly breathtaking face appeared before everyone. Ophelia curved her eyes and said, “I brought my classmate over to say hello to you!” Winford’s gaze swept over Lucy and the others.

“Hello, Mr. Pruitt!” A few people hurriedly stood up straight and spoke awkwardly. They did not know what Winford’s identity was, nor did they even know his full name; they only knew that his last name was Pruitt.

Winford nodded slightly, as if in response, and then his gaze returned to Ophelia, visibly softening with a touch of tenderness. “Pay attention in class, and I will pick you up after class,” he said.

Ophelia immediately became happy and said, “Good!” “Then, husband, did we go in?” She waved her hand and took two steps back with her classmates, watching the car leave.

“Ophelia, your husband was so handsome!” Lucy said excitedly in a low voice.
