Chapter 307

“Bessie!” Xander, who had just entered, changed his expression and rushed forward to support her.

Bessie got up and said, with a pale face, “Xander, don’t blame Ophelia; it was my own fault for not standing firm…”

The words, which attempted to conceal the truth, along with her shrinking expression as she glanced at Ophelia, successfully misled Xander.

Xander was furious. “Ophelia—”

Ophelia suddenly stood up and slapped Bessie in the face!

“Ah!”

Bessie suffered a new injury on top of her old wounds, and she immediately cried out in pain; her face was even distorted by the blow.

“What are you doing?!” Xander exclaimed angrily.

Bessie looked at Ophelia in disbelief. This was right in front of Xander! How could Ophelia dare—how could she dare to hit her?!

Ophelia smiled faintly and tilted her head. “I didn’t even touch her just now, and she said it was me who pushed her. Cousin, it seems like you’re going to scold me, so I might as well add a slap to it, to avoid being at a disadvantage!”

She looked at Bessie with a cold gaze. Did she think that by manipulating Xander, she would only end up suffering?

“Dreaming!”

She wanted to repair their relationship, that was true, but after her rebirth, she had a principle: no matter the circumstances, she would never allow herself to be wronged! Of course, except in front of Winford. Her husband wouldn't let her be wronged!

“Cousin, are you still going to scold me? If you aren’t, I’ll leave.”

After speaking, Ophelia picked up her bag and left the private room.

Bessie was completely stunned. It wasn’t until Ophelia’s figure had disappeared that she reacted, and she immediately trembled with anger. What was she here for today? Not only did she not hear Ophelia’s frustrated apology, but she also got scolded and slapped!

“Xander…” She looked up with red eyes, holding back her grievances. “You saw it, Ophelia treated me like this. She acted this way even in front of you, and when you can’t see, she only becomes more arrogant…”

“She really was driving me crazy! Now my parents are being forced by her to consider giving up on me… Xander, what should I do?”

She looked bewildered, her tone helpless, like a pure, innocent little white rabbit being persecuted.

Xander suppressed his anger. “Don’t worry, with me here, no one can touch you!”

In an instant, he seemed to make a decision, promising Bessie, “Bessie, I will give you a guarantee!”

Bessie had shown him such great kindness, and she was the girl he liked. How could he not care about her?

As soon as Ophelia exited the restaurant, she saw a familiar car parked at the entrance. She was taken aback for a moment, then she ran over quickly.

“Honey, how did you end up here?”

The backseat window was rolled down, revealing Winford’s sharply defined and exceptionally charming face.

“Passing by, someone said they saw you here.”

Ophelia didn’t really believe this reason. It was more likely he tracked her phone after noticing she was missing. However, she didn’t expose it; she was willing to let the monitoring software remain a secret to keep him at ease.

“I was a bit anxious just now, so I left without telling you. I’m sorry…”

She apologized regretfully while getting into the car.
