Chapter 222

Adalynn looked at her with malice. “That’s right, someone like you who even harms her own sister. Bessie has a kind heart and doesn’t hold it against you, so I’ll help her seek justice!”

Ophelia tugged at her lip, almost letting out a cold laugh. When Adalynn said she was Cullen’s fiancée, she knew why the other woman had such great hostility towards her. Previously, she had heard that Cullen suddenly got engaged, but she didn’t expect it to be Adalynn. At that moment, Adalynn’s attitude towards her was undoubtedly due to her previous relationship with Cullen.

How did Adalynn know? It was obvious that it could only have been Bessie who told her! As for Bessie, she certainly wouldn't be objective and probably exaggerated and distorted the truth countless times!

“Do you want me to apologize? Sure,” she suddenly said, “even if you want me to kneel, that wouldn’t be impossible.”

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone was shocked. The onlookers all looked at Ophelia in astonishment. Lucy and the others were stunned and exclaimed, “Ophelia?!”

Ophelia raised her hand to calm them down, then she looked directly at Bessie, a faint smile on her lips. Her clear and melodious voice carried a compelling sharpness— “Only, I dare to kneel; do you dare to accept it, Bessie?”

In an instant, everyone looked at Bessie. Bessie’s expression suddenly changed, and the secretly smug look on her face froze. Ophelia stared at her and said, “Why aren’t you answering? Just nod your head, and I will immediately kneel down and apologize to you.”

Bessie’s face gradually turned pale. When she met Ophelia’s gaze, she suddenly realized that Ophelia was not just Ophelia; behind her stood Winford, the terrifying man who treated Ophelia like a precious treasure, cradling her in his hands!

“I…” she had cold sweat seeping out, and she felt an intense hatred in her heart. She dared to use Adalynn to trouble Ophelia because she felt that, with Ophelia’s personality, she would bear the burden herself when faced with difficulties and wouldn’t bother to bring up the big issue of Winford. To her surprise, Ophelia did not play according to her expectations at all! Now, how could she dare to nod? If she had dared to nod even a little today, Winford would have been able to make her disappear from this world tomorrow!

Seeing Bessie’s reaction, Hannah and Lenora also reacted. Hannah said, “Bessie, why don’t you say something? As long as you say a word, Ophelia will immediately kneel down for you!”

“No, no need!” Bessie forced a smile, not daring to look into Adalynn’s eyes. “Ophelia didn’t need to apologize to me…”

“Ha.” Ophelia scoffed rudely, her gaze shifting back to Adalynn. “Even Bessie, the person involved, doesn’t want me to apologize. Ms. Estrada, what are you jumping around for as an unrelated party?”

Adalynn’s face looked very unpleasant as she glared fiercely at Bessie. Bessie lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at her at all. Adalynn was extremely angry and wanted to continue causing trouble for Ophelia. However, the reason she had for bothering others was to stand up for Bessie, and now that Bessie herself didn’t even want to apologize, she had no reason to continue!

He could only hold back his anger and said, “Go!”

Left angrily with someone. As soon as they reached a deserted place, Adalynn turned around and slapped Bessie across the face! Bessie let out a cry of “Ah,” her face twisted from the blow.

“Adalynn?” Bessie covered her face, feeling dazed.
