Chapter 294
โDid something happen to you, cousin?โ Lenora became alert, very concerned about Opheliaโs unusual behavior and fearing something might be wrong.
โNothing, nothing!โ Ophelia hurriedly said. โI just thought of something else and got a bit distracted. What did you just say? I didnโt hear it; could you say it again?โ
โOh, itโs nothing serious,โ Lenora replied. โI just wanted to ask if you had some time. I was going to take you to see the excitement!โ Her tone became a bit more excited as she spoke.
Ophelia asked curiously, โWhat was the commotion?โ
Lenora said, โI just passed by the Pruitt family and saw their house was in an uproar. It was so lively, and Cullen was getting beaten badly! Cousin, do you want to go see? I already found a good spot!โ
Ophelia: โGo!โ
How could one not watch the excitement of that deadbeat Cullen? Seeing him in such a miserable state, she could eat two more bowls of rice!
She turned to run inside to say something to Winford, but when she thought of the manโs deep-set eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
I happened to see Graham and said, โIโm going out for a while to find Nora. Please let Mr. Winford know!โ After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Lenora discovered the lively atmosphere of the Pruitt family because the Whitaker family also had property there, and she happened to come over to pick something up. Coincidentally, standing on the third-floor balcony of her house, one could just see the scene at the Pruitt familyโs home.
โCousin, come over here!โ Lenora found the best angle on the balcony and quickly waved to Ophelia.
In fact, she wasnโt familiar with Cullen; they had hardly seen each other a few times in the past, and there were no grievances between them, so it couldnโt be said that she liked or disliked him. However, ever since she learned that Cullen was a scumbag who had cheated on her cousin and deceived her along with Bessie, she had developed a strong dislike for him! Seeing Cullenโs miserable appearance, she felt a great sense of satisfaction.
Ophelia walked over and stood there to take a look. Sure enough, the Pruitt family was in a lively commotion; the whole family had actually started fighting!
Arturo kicked Cullen hard and shouted, โYou useless piece of trash! What did I tell you?! I told you to stay away from Mr. Winford! What did you do?!โ
โWhat are you hitting our son for?!โ Sienna screamed as she rushed over to protect her son, who had fallen to the ground. Her hair and makeup were a mess. โWasnโt this idea supposed to be a joint decision? Now that something has happened, youโre going to blame Cullen?!โ
โYou still protect him! Your son has been spoiled by you! If it werenโt for your foolishness, mother and son, offending Ophelia, how could our family have ended up in this situation today?!โ
Sienna glared with anger. โWas I the only one who looked down on Ophelia back then?! Didnโt you also think poorly of that foolish girl who was raised poorly by her stepmother after losing her biological mother?!โ
The couple had argued until their voices were hoarse, almost ready to come to blows. Cullen sat dazed on the ground, his face pale and dejected, completely oblivious to everything around him.
In a little while, another person came out from inside.
