Chapter 298

Bessie gritted her teeth and was about to kneel.

“Bessie!” Erin suddenly hugged her daughter, her eyes red and filled with emotion. She questioned Ophelia, “Ophelia! Did you really want Bessie to kneel to you? She is your sister!”

She looked at Winford again and said sadly, “Mr. Winford! Please let my Bessie go! She did nothing wrong! She is just young, innocent, and naive, and was deceived by others… She treated Ophelia like a real sister; how could she possibly target her on purpose?”

Since they had come in, Winford, who had remained silent and focused solely on his young wife, finally raised his eyes and gave them a glance. The man looked cold and indifferent. “She didn’t do anything wrong, so does that mean it was Lia who made the mistake?”

Erin’s expression changed, and just as she was about to argue, the man said lightly, “Don’t say she was wrong to begin with; even if she wasn’t wrong, if Lia thought she was wrong, then she was wrong. Today, if Lia wanted to see her kneel, then she had to kneel.”

A few light words, carried with overwhelming pressure, caused the Greene family to turn pale instantly. Originally, Ophelia was supposed to refute it herself, but she immediately turned to look at her husband.

Looking at the man’s handsome and sharp profile, her eyes sparkled as she hugged his arm and whispered, “Honey, you are really wonderful!” She was captivated by his handsomeness, and her heart raced a little.

When she was in the right, he defended her, which certainly made people happy, but how could that compare to the touching fact that, regardless of whether she was right or wrong, he always chose to stand behind her in an “unreasonable” way?

Winford’s gaze returned to her, and the coldness had completely vanished. He touched her head and leaned down to gently kiss her temple. She was his treasure, and protecting her was what he should have done; how could that be considered enough?

Is it because her family had never given her any affection that she cherished such a small amount of love so much? Mr. Winford, whose heart was as cold as iron, tasted the feeling of heartache at that moment. He was as heartbroken for his little wife as he was disgusted by the Greene family.

Samuel was startled by the man’s cold gaze, suddenly coming to his senses from the shock he had just experienced. As he regretted in his heart, he thought that if he had known his daughter was so skilled at winning men’s hearts and could actually win over Mr. Winford, he would never have treated her so coldly in the past!

He kicked Bessie mercilessly and said, “Why aren’t you hurrying up? Do you need someone to ask you?!”

Bessie eventually knelt down on the ground, her eyes filled with tears, her nails digging into her palms. When she looked up and saw the towering Ophelia in front of her, along with Winford, who cherished her like a precious gem, she felt as if her heart were being corroded by poison, suffering immensely!

Later. Erin’s eyes turned red with anger. How could it be, how could it be! How could she let her daughter kneel before Ophelia! At that time, even Harriet was defeated by her, so how could her daughter kneel before Harriet’s daughter?!

“I’m sorry. I was wrong…” Bessie said humbly.

Ophelia’s pretty little legs gently swung on the sofa as she looked up, her voice soft and innocent. “Honey, should I forgive her?”
