Chapter 264

Winford had always been unwilling to expose their relationship to the outside world. How could she not have been thinking about it in her heart? This time, she finally found a reasonable reason to have a good talk with him!

Ophelia rubbed her hands together. As soon as she entered the house, she adjusted her expression and exclaimed with a sense of grievance, “Honey, I was bullied by someone!”

Winford was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone. His back was straight and imposing, exuding a powerful charm that women found impossible to resist. From his expression, it seemed he was discussing something very important, making decisive decisions that were captivating.

However, the moment he heard Ophelia’s shout, his expression changed. In less than five seconds, he finished the call, put away his phone, and strode toward his girl, pulling her into his arms.

“Bullying you? Who?”

The sound of the magnetic sinking carried a chilling sense of dread. Graham had no doubt that, in the next moment, all it would take was for Ophelia to utter a name, and that person would pay a great price.

But Ophelia held the man’s strong waist and said, “Some people at school looked down on me and even spread rumors that I was being supported by you. You are my benefactor, and when I said you were my boyfriend, no one believed me…” She looked up at him, her beautiful eyes misted with a thin layer of tears, looking aggrieved.

Winford paused. After a moment, he said, “I had George deal with the person who was talking nonsense.”

But Ophelia was not satisfied. “Even if they didn’t dare to say it out loud, they still thought that way in their hearts!”

How could Winford not guess her intentions? He looked down at his little wife in his arms and gently sighed, “So what does Lia want to do?”

Ophelia’s eyes lit up as she looked at him with anticipation. “There’s someone named Adalynn who has been spreading rumors that you are my benefactor, and she doesn’t believe that our relationship is legitimate unless I take you to meet her… She is hosting a banquet in three days. Honey, could you accompany me?”

Winford’s gaze darkened. “Lia, I had told you…”

Ophelia knew that he was going to say that he didn’t want others to talk about her in that way, so she spoke up before him. “But now they were discussing me!”

“And I wasn’t afraid at all of people knowing about our relationship; in fact, I wished the whole world knew that you were my husband!” She looked unwaveringly into his deep eyes and said, “I have clearly married you, so why do we have to be secretive? Is there something shameful about our relationship?”

She pleaded and hoped, saying, “Honey, will you go with me in three days?”

Winford’s large hand gently stroked her head, and he did not say anything.

Three days later. The banquet arrived. Adalynn reserved the largest banquet hall in Minston in order to let more people witness Ophelia’s embarrassment. She not only invited the young masters and ladies from Minston’s upper circle but also sent out invitations to many students from Ventura University.

There were still half an hour left before the banquet officially started, but the banquet hall was already very lively. Many young ladies and young masters who came to the banquet flattered and sought to please Adalynn.
