Sienna froze instantly. In the end, the family of three left reluctantly, still filled with dissatisfaction.

“What should we do now? Mr. Winford is no longer helping us!” Arturo said irritably, his face darkening. “I never expected that little girl, Ophelia, would actually win Mr. Winford’s favor!”

When Ophelia was mentioned, Sienna’s expression turned very bad. “Mr. Winford didn’t help us; it must be because she said something! That wretched girl! Our family has become like this because of her!”

Sienna did not dare express any opinions about Cullen’s broken leg to Winford, but she absolutely hated Ophelia! Every time she thought about it, she wished she could tear her apart!

“Is our family really going to end up like this…?” Arturo despaired.

The family of three remained silent, and Cullen was out of sorts the whole time.

“No!” Sienna gritted her teeth and suddenly spoke up. “We still have a way!”

Arturo: “What else could be done now that it has come to this?!”

Sienna suppressed her hatred for Ophelia and said, “Ophelia… didn’t she like our Cullen?”

As soon as the words were spoken, the couple exchanged a glance; a light suddenly illuminated their minds, and then they both turned to look at their son.

The dazed Cullen, upon hearing these words, suddenly showed a hint of unusual brightness in his eyes.

Sienna held her son tightly and said, “Cullen, whether our family can get through this time depended on you!”

“Didn’t Ophelia like you? She didn’t marry into Sunset Vista willingly, did she? She even wanted to take the risk of eloping with you before, so she must have still had feelings for you!”

“I didn’t agree with you being together before, but now I’m willing to make a concession. You could go find her and say that I no longer cared about her background. You two could be together!”

“However, our family accepted her conditions, which were that she had to speak well of our family in front of Mr. Winford…”

Cullen listened to these words and unconsciously recalled Ophelia’s indifferent attitude towards him after she married into Sunset Vista, as well as her bright smile and playful demeanor in front of Winford…

“Good…!”

Cullen gritted his teeth; he couldn’t believe it—she really didn’t like him anymore! Clearly, she had been desperate for him before, even risking Winford’s anger to elope with him!

Arturo hesitated for a moment and thought that it was indeed a good idea, so he advised, “Be careful, don’t let Mr. Winford find out.”

After all, Ophelia was Winford’s woman, and if Cullen tried to flirt with her, what would happen if Winford found out… Just thinking about the consequences, a strong sense of fear arose.

But now, there was only this one path left to take! As long as one was careful… it might not have been an impossible way to survive!

Ophelia had no idea that the Pruitt family had set their sights on her. So when she was stopped by Cullen at the school gate the next day, she was very surprised.

The Pruitt family hadn’t been finished yet. Where did Cullen get the courage to come in front of her?

“What were you doing?” she frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing, showing no hint of concealing the disgust in her expression.

Cullen felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He glanced at the people beside her—Lenora, Lucy, Hannah—and subtly said, “Ophelia, I have something important to discuss with you. Let’s talk privately.”

Lenora looked at him with a mix of vigilance and disdain.
