Chapter 271

Just as the words were about to leave her lips, a flash of insight suddenly struck her mind. She recalled that earlier, when she had mocked Ophelia, a friend of Ophelia’s had stepped forward to say that Ophelia’s “sugar daddy” was actually her legally married husband.

Adalynn’s expression suddenly froze. Could it be, could it really be true?

Ophelia watched the change in Adalynn’s expression and felt extremely pleased. She smiled slightly and turned to Winford, saying, “Honey, I don’t think she is qualified to call you Uncle Winford. What do you think?”

How could Winford not know that she was doing it on purpose? He hated it most when others used their power to bully others, but when it came to Ophelia, he only found his little wife incredibly adorable. His cold and sharp brows revealed a hint of indulgence as he touched the back of her neck and said, “Of course, it was up to you.”

Adalynn suddenly looked up, gazing at Winford in disbelief. Even though she vaguely realized Ophelia’s identity, she still held a glimmer of hope. Who was Mr. Winford? In all of Kingchester, who didn’t know that he hated women, especially those who were self-righteous and interfered with his will!

Wasn’t Ophelia’s arrogant demeanor exactly what Mr. Winford despised the most? Yet, how could he not only remain calm but also indulge Ophelia like this?

She lost her voice: “Uncle Winford—”

“Ms. Estrada!” Ophelia interrupted, looking at Adalynn’s incredulous face. She raised her chin and said arrogantly, “Didn’t you hear what my husband just said? Please don’t go around claiming relatives, and don’t call him that, or I would be unhappy!”

Winford indulged his little wife’s arrogant demeanor, finding her even cuter that way.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange. Those who had previously flattered and fawned over Adalynn, envying her for having a relationship with Mr. Winford, were now looking at her with unusual expressions. Adalynn used to be able to blow so well, looking so high and mighty, as if her relationship with Mr. Winford was very close. But in reality, Mr. Winford didn’t even know her! Even now, she still did not recognize that call of “Uncle Winford”!

Adalynn felt the gazes from all directions, her face turned extremely pale. She gripped her hands tightly, almost crushing the fabric of her skirt!

At that moment, an even worse thing happened—

“Is Ophelia there?!” A harsh voice suddenly came from the doorway, and a woman dressed as a housekeeper entered with seven or eight bodyguards, her expression unfriendly.

Adalynn’s expression suddenly changed! The “housekeeper” was the one that Stella had hired with money before. For today’s banquet, she had originally planned to contact the mysterious main wife, inviting her to the feast, so that the other party could personally deal with Ophelia and ensure that Ophelia would be trampled to the point of not being able to get up.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the legitimate wife could not be contacted at all—now she understood the reason. If Ophelia was indeed the so-called legitimate wife, then they had already invited Ophelia, so how could the “legitimate wife” come?!

After not receiving a response from the “main wife,” Stella suggested that since she really couldn’t come, they should create a fake one. She agreed! So now, the fake butler appeared on time with the person hired from the security company!

If everything went as expected, Ophelia was indeed kept by a married man, and this arrangement was certainly brilliant. But who could have imagined that the truth was completely different from what they knew?!
