Chapter 263

“Sure,” she curved her lips and replied. She looked at Adalynn, with a nearly imperceptible smile, and said, “Thank you, Ms. Estrada, for your kind invitation. I was really looking forward to the banquet in three days!” After saying that, she released Stella at her feet and left with the others.

“Why does she seem so calm?” Looking at Ophelia’s back, Adalynn, a follower, felt a sense of doubt. “Not panicking? It’s just a facade of calm!” Adalynn scoffed. Thinking of the humiliation of being forced by Ophelia to kneel and bark like a dog, her eyes were filled with resentment as she ordered the person beside her, “Go, find a way to contact Ophelia’s mysterious main wife and invite her to the banquet. This time, I want to ruin Ophelia’s reputation completely, so that she can never stay in Minston again!”

The classmate responded, and just then, Bessie, who had gone home for a while due to some matters, returned to school. Seeing Stella in such a disheveled state, Adalynn’s expression changed. She casually asked what had happened.

Stella immediately told her about what had just happened and said with satisfaction, “Ophelia didn’t dare to admit in front of everyone that she was just a kept mistress, so of course she had to accept Adalynn’s invitation! Just wait, she’s done for!”

“The banquet three days later was truly something to look forward to!” Stella was so excited that she even forgot the pain in her body, but Bessie suddenly changed her expression when she finished listening. She looked at Adalynn’s equally excited and resentful expression, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then quietly closed it again.

No, she absolutely could not reveal that Ophelia was Winford’s wife. Otherwise, Adalynn would not have appreciated her silence and would have discovered that she was being used as a pawn—Winford’s wife, the mistress of Sunset Vista, such an untouchable presence! And she clearly knew the other person’s identity, yet incited Adalynn to deal with her. If Adalynn had realized this, she would never have let her off the hook!

Bessie’s face turned slightly pale as she lowered her presence among the group of followers, listening to everyone excitedly speculate about how miserable Ophelia would be three days later, not daring to say a word.

On the other side, after leaving the gym, Lucy immediately couldn’t hold back her laughter and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, Adalynn is really heading down a dead end. Why bring up such a request when there are so many better options? I’m starting to look forward to the banquet in three days!”

Hannah thought of Adalynn’s proud expression and couldn’t help but feel that it was hard to put into words. Only Lenora, unlike the two who were excited, felt a bit worried and hesitantly asked, “Cousin, will your husband agree to go with you?”

Although the time they spent together was brief, she was very clever and had already noticed that her cousin’s husband seemed to be intentionally concealing his relationship with her cousin… After realizing this, she had been worried about her cousin. Did her cousin’s husband not want to publicly acknowledge her identity?

Ophelia immediately saw what her sensitive cousin was thinking. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my relationship with your cousin is very good. Don’t jump to conclusions.” As for whether Winford would agree to attend the banquet, it would depend on whether her coaxing was effective! From this point of view, she wanted to express her deep gratitude to Adalynn.
