Chapter 260

She had someone to rely on now, so why should she be afraid of Ophelia? So he quickly calmed down, not only remaining unperturbed but also showing a provocative smile. Ophelia’s expression remained unchanged as she stepped forward, ignoring Adalynn, and her cold, sharp gaze was directed straight at Stella.

“Was it you who falsely accused me of being kept by a married man?”

The intimidation in that gaze made Stella feel a bit guilty for a second, but she quickly suppressed it. She revealed a disdainful smile and said, “What do you mean by slander? You were kept by a married man; isn’t that a fact?” Seeing so many people around her, she deliberately raised her voice.

“Ophelia, how could you be so shameless? You seduced a married man, got supported by someone, and even dared to go around claiming that he was your boyfriend! Isn’t that just too brazen?”

“Also, if you hated that someone tarnished your reputation, then you had the ability to find that legitimate wife, so why did you come to ask me what crime?” She spoke while observing Adalynn’s expression, noticing that the more she belittled Ophelia, the happier Adalynn became, which made her even more enthusiastic.

She was about to say more, but suddenly, Ophelia, with her arms crossed, walked up slowly and, without any warning, kicked her in the stomach! Stella screamed and instantly fell. Ophelia’s kick seemed ordinary, but only Stella knew the fierce strength contained within it. She instantly found herself unable to get up.

“What are you doing, Ophelia?!” Adalynn suddenly sank down. She didn’t care about Stella, but Stella was her follower now. Ophelia’s actions were no different from slapping her in the face! Others were also startled by Ophelia’s sudden action.

Ophelia ignored Adalynn and stepped forward, stepping on Stella, who was trying to get up. Her gaze from above held no warmth at all.

“Stella, we had known each other for so many years, and all those years I had always regarded you as a good friend, never treating you poorly, right?” This was still a modest way of putting it. In fact, in the past, she lacked love and had few friends around her, so she cherished Stella, her only friend, very much, treating her even better than she treated herself.

Stella’s expression changed for a moment, but she quickly gritted her teeth and said, “You wouldn’t want to use those little gifts you bought for me in the past as an argument, would you? It’s perfectly normal for friends to give each other gifts. Your family is so wealthy, so what’s wrong with giving me something?”

“Moreover, those little trinkets you gave were worth very little! How could you still bring up the friendship we’ve had over the years? If you really considered me a friend, would you be so stingy and only give me those worthless little things?!” Hearing these words, Ophelia’s heart grew cold.

Chapter 250

Although she had seen Stella’s true colors after her rebirth and had severed their friendship, during the previous years, she had been completely open-hearted towards Stella. Was this really how Stella had thought of her? She smiled coldly and said without courtesy, “Trivial little things? During the years we were friends, how many things did I give you? Each time it was tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, and you actually think these are just trivial little things?”

Previously, when Stella made such accusations, some people thought that she had a point. Ophelia’s family was so wealthy, yet they were so stingy with their friends, always giving only worthless gifts. That did seem a bit perfunctory and miserly…
