Chapter 286

“You were going to marry him, so be careful not to get caught up and become collateral damage,” Cullen warned.

Adalynn stopped, suddenly looked up, and gazed at Cullen in disbelief. Cullen’s face was pale and ashen, his complexion resembling that of paper. Ophelia turned away with a sweet smile at the corner of her lips.

Ophelia left the school gate and saw Winford’s car. She and Lenora waved and ran over with light steps.

“Honey!”

As soon as she got into the car, she threw herself into Winford’s arms, her smile bright and dazzling. Winford wrapped one arm around her waist and looked down. “What did you do that made you so happy?”

Ophelia listened to his deep and pleasant voice, blinked her eyes, and said, “I didn’t do anything. I just saw my husband, so I’m happy!”

Winford chuckled softly, pinched her earlobe, and asked no further questions.

A couple of days later, Ophelia heard that Adalynn had caused a scene with the Pruitt family, had beaten Cullen, and then had broken off the engagement, returning to Kingchester in a fit of anger. The Pruitt family was in chaos. The engagement had originally been obtained through deception, and now that it had been exposed, they not only had to return all the benefits they had received, but they would also face retaliation from the Estrada family in the future.

“Finished… finished!” Cullen’s mother, Sienna, collapsed to the ground, her expression one of despair. Cullen’s father, Arturo, had a grim expression. Suddenly, he slapped his son hard across the face and shouted, “Useless! How am I supposed to explain this to you? I told you to keep Ms. Estrada under control, and this is how you did it?!”

“I had warned you to be careful and not to associate with that disreputable girl from the Greene family, so as not to be discovered by the Estrada family. I also told you not to provoke Ophelia; she had Mr. Winford backing her up! Did you take my words as mere wind?!”

Arturo was furious, and Cullen was hit so hard that his face was turned to the side. He had not been in good condition these past two days, feeling dazed and confused, and at that moment, his eyes were bloodshot.

That day, after causing a commotion at school, he quickly underwent another test, only to find out that he did not have AIDS, nor did Bessie. The doctor who had called him had left Minston quickly long before he discovered the truth.

At this point, how could he not see that he had been set up by someone? As for who it was, thinking of Ophelia’s beautiful eyes that held a smile that didn’t reach them that day, a sudden chill rose in his heart.

Sienna looked at her son, her heart aching as she jumped up to protect him, shouting at her husband, “What are you hitting Cullen for? He was set up by someone else! If you have the ability, go find that promiscuous girl from the Greene family, and Ophelia too!”

Arturo was so angry that his chest heaved. “It’s already this time, and you are still protecting him? You should be more concerned about whether our family can get through this!”

Sienna’s face turned pale immediately. This time, the Estrada family undoubtedly sought revenge against them, as the marriage scam was truly despicable. Especially since, because of their lies, the Estrada family seemed to have offended Mr. Winford…
