Chapter 304

Ophelia suddenly tightened her grip on the phone. In an instant, everything related to Xander and the Whitaker family surged forth like a tide. Originally, after her mother died, the Whitaker family was her closest relative. However, under Erin’s deception and instigation, she always believed they wanted to seize her mother's inheritance, so she was wary of and rejected them. Not only did she throw all their gifts in the trash, but when her grandfather wanted to take her in, she shouted that Erin was her true family, breaking their hearts. The uncle forcibly took her to the Whitaker family, hoping to keep her away from Erin, but she snuck back and stubbornly refused to get close to them.

After several disturbances, the Whitaker family gradually became disappointed in her, and their relationship became increasingly distant, even turning sour. By now, they were all unwilling to see her again. Cousin Xander, who also came to despise her, had said he would protect her for a lifetime. She hadn't expected Xander to ask her to meet, and for a moment, she felt a surge of emotions.

Chapter 304

Without much hesitation, she quickly changed her clothes and went out. The place Xander provided was a restaurant, and on the way there, Ophelia felt quite unsettled. She remembered things from her past life. In her past life, after she entered Sunset Vista, she never saw Xander again and could only catch glimpses of him on television and the internet. Seeing his fame grow and him become a household name was obvious. Seeing him pining for Bessie and becoming a joke; seeing him ultimately being framed, burdened with scandals, facing public outcry, and eventually being sidelined by the company, his beloved acting career was completely ruined…

In the back seat of the car, Ophelia lowered her eyelids, her gaze icy cold. In this lifetime, if she could start over, she absolutely would not let her cousin’s tragedy repeat itself! The car stopped. “Madam, we have arrived,” the driver said.

Ophelia adjusted her clothes as she got out of the car, her steps a bit hurried and uncontrollable. But when she reached the door of the private room, she suddenly froze. In the private room, she saw that familiar figure, with a handsome face, sharp brows and eyes, and a cold demeanor; it was her cousin Xander. But beside him, there was a figure even more familiar to her—Bessie!

Ophelia’s expression suddenly darkened. How did Erin and Bessie talk to her? They said the Whitaker family were not good people! But she had become estranged from the Whitaker family, while Bessie had tried every possible way to get close to and please Xander! In her past life, how could she have been so foolish as to believe Erin and Bessie’s words?

Bessie noticed her, flinched a little, and said with a pale face, “Xander, Ophelia came, I’m a bit scared…” Xander raised his handsome and stern face, and the moment he saw Ophelia standing at the door, his expression slightly darkened. “I was here, and no one dared to bully you,” he said. The voice was neither too high nor too low, just right for Ophelia, who was standing at the door, to hear. Ophelia knew that this sentence was more for her than for Bessie! Ophelia pressed her lips downwards and cast a cold glance at Bessie, who was weakly and innocently hiding beside Xander.
