Chapter 287
“We went to Sunset Vista to seek Mr. Winford!” Arturo gritted his teeth. At that time, there was only this path left to take! Sunset Vista. Ophelia came back to give Bryson an injection. After this time, if she came again, the poison in Bryson’s body would be completely eliminated! She finished what she was doing and went downstairs, where she learned that Arturo’s family had come to see her.
Winford heard footsteps coming down the stairs and turned to look at her, his eyes filled only with his little wife. Upon hearing the servant’s report, the man didn’t spare a glance and simply said, “I don’t want to see them. Let them go.”
After Cullen’s leg was broken, Arturo’s family came to Sunset Vista more than once to seek his forgiveness, but despite so many attempts, they never even managed to step through the door of Sunset Vista.
Ophelia felt a bit shy under the man’s deep and profound gaze; there was focus, affection, and a sense of dominance in his eyes.
“Hubby, why were you at me the whole time?” she complained softly as she ran up to him.
He asked again, “Did Cullen and his parents come?” Winford listened to her first sentence, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly, but as soon as he heard the question that followed, that little curve instantly disappeared.
“Lia cared about him?” He did not like it when she mentioned the names of other men, especially that man Cullen, with whom she had a past.
“I was just asking casually,” seeing that he was unhappy, Ophelia quickly moved closer to him and coaxed, “I guessed they must have come to seek your help. As long as you were willing to support them, they wouldn’t be afraid of the Estrada family’s retaliation.”
“Did Lia hope that I would back them up?” Winford pulled her into his arms, making her sit in his lap, his arms wrapped around her waist in a way that left no room for resistance, and he asked casually.
“Why did you support them?” Ophelia said without thinking, giving a cold snort. “They deserved all of this!” He lowered his gaze and saw the unmasked disgust and glee on her small face. The slight displeasure and discomfort in his heart finally dissipated. He kissed the corner of her lips and said, “Alright, let’s go with Lia’s.”
After speaking, he raised his eyes and instructed Graham, “Did you hear what the lady said? Go tell them to get lost.” Graham received the order, turned around, and left, unable to help but quietly grumble to himself. The meaning of the lady’s words made it seem as if, if she agreed, Mr. Winford would truly be able to support the Cullen family… This only fueled his anger further, and he would have preferred to make the entire family disappear completely.
At the entrance of Sunset Vista:
“What? How could Mr. Winford not see us! Cullen was his nephew; did he really intend to ignore us?!”
Chapter 257
“Graham, I begged you to go and talk again!” Faced with the emotionally charged family of three, Graham maintained a cold smile from beginning to end. “Mr. Pruitt, Mrs. Pruitt, Mr. Cullen, this is what Mr. Winford meant. Please leave.”
Sienna wanted to cause a scene, but before she could say anything, Graham spoke first: “Mr. Winford was in a good mood at the moment because his wife was with him, so he only asked you to leave. However, if you caused a disturbance and disturbed Mr. Winford, angering him, I couldn’t guarantee what the consequences would be.”
