Chapter 31: Mr. Winford: Did You Like Cullen?

“Alright! Cullen spoke out of turn, and he deserved to be punished! Mr. Winford only made him stay in the water for a while, which was already very lenient!”

Arturo saw his wife acting foolishly and hurriedly stepped forward, giving her a hard pull. His expression was very unpleasant. One by one, how could they all be so foolish! Did they never consider the serious consequences of angering Mr. Winford?!

Sienna wanted to say something, but she was startled by her husband’s gloomy gaze. She forced herself to wake up and glanced at her pitiful son in the water. With red eyes, she turned her gaze away, unable to bear looking any longer. In her heart, she loathed Ophelia fiercely!

Ophelia saw the other person’s venomous gaze and coldly sneered inwardly. She was impressed by Sienna. In the last life, the other party had looked down on her, believing she was unworthy of Cullen, while feeling completely justified in enjoying the benefits they received from her. Because she liked Cullen, she never dared to resist and didn’t know how much grievance she had suffered at Sienna’s hands!

Seeing Sienna like this, she felt extremely happy. However, this was just the beginning! In her past life, she had suffered grievances, and in this life, she was determined to repay them with interest. She hoped that, by then, Sienna would be able to bear it!

She glanced at the swimming pool; Elizabeth was crying out, but no one paid attention. Bessie had shouted herself hoarse, seemingly having finally given up, or rather, having no strength left to shout. She was floating half-dead on the water, her delicate makeup long since ruined.

Cullen tried to lie down by the shore to cool off but was kicked back into the water by a cold and merciless bodyguard. The three of them were sweating profusely, looking more disheveled than the others, as if they might faint at any moment. Those ladies, extremely arrogant before, now began to beg for mercy.

Arturo did not allow his wife to plead, but he still felt sorry for his son and mother. So, with a forced smile, he tried to hint indirectly, “Mr. Winford, madam, when do you think we can let them come up? The banquet still needs to continue!”

“Of course, I was happy to let them come up!” Ophelia said. “The banquet could continue at any time; it wouldn’t be a problem without them. Or are you, Mr. Pruitt, feeling sorry for your mother and son? Do you think I or Mr. Winford were too cruel?”

Arturo was covered in cold sweat and hurriedly denied, “No, no!” He quietly glanced at Mr. Winford and saw that he showed no signs of displeasure at all, allowing Ophelia to act recklessly. While Arturo felt a sense of shock, he also developed a bad premonition. He knew about the matter between his son and Ophelia, and he was even fully aware of Cullen’s scheme. Or rather, getting close to Ophelia and deceiving her to take things into her own hands was originally done at his instigation!

She had never worried about anything before. Ophelia’s mother had died, and her father did not love her. Even if something happened, who would make decisions for her? But who could have thought that Ophelia would have such a day! She not only married into Sunset Vista, but it seemed that Mr. Winford also doted on her quite a bit! If this matter were to be exposed… just thinking about it made her break out in a cold sweat.

“My private matters with Mr. Winford seemed to have delayed everyone,” Ophelia glanced over the guests. “So please continue with what you were doing!”

The guests, who had been as silent as cicadas in winter, finally spoke up, hurriedly smiling and saying, “No.” The hall gradually returned to its previous liveliness, but it was different from before; everyone was intentionally or unintentionally stealing glances in that direction. Mr. Winford, even though he sat in a wheelchair and rarely spoke, had an absolutely strong presence. Even from a distance, one could feel the powerful sense of oppression he exuded, making people hesitant to speak loudly. Ophelia also became the topic of conversation among the ladies present.

Who could have imagined that not long ago, she was the laughingstock of everyone, and today, she had actually become the object of their envy and flattery! That was Mr. Winford, after all. They said that the women who married into Sunset Vista were pitiful, but in reality, who didn’t want to marry him?! Even if he really didn’t live past thirty, marrying him would still bring countless benefits! Not to mention, Mr. Winford was not as old and ugly as the rumors suggested; on the contrary, his appearance was even more outstanding and charming than that of a star…

A banquet ended in such a strange atmosphere. Ophelia seemed to remember something as she approached the pool, showing an expression of surprise. “Oh, I seem to have forgotten about you all. I’m really sorry!”

The people in the water were originally on the verge of tears from joy because they could finally be freed. Suddenly, upon hearing this sentence, they were all so furious that they felt like spitting blood! Bessie and Cullen fainted directly. Before losing consciousness, Bessie crawled to the shore, using all her strength to grab Ophelia’s ankle, gasping for breath and staring at her intently.

“Ophelia! Were you… doing it on purpose?”

Ophelia showed an innocent and bewildered expression as she looked down at her. “How could that be? I just saw you, Bessie. How did you fall? Was it an accident? That’s quite careless, isn’t it?”

“You…!”

Bessie rolled her eyes and fainted, unable to tell whether it was from the heat or from anger. Ophelia kicked her foot, shook off the other person’s hand, and happily turned around to return to Winford’s side. “Honey, let’s go home!”

Before leaving, the Pruitt family was in a state of chaos due to Cullen’s fainting. Sienna was crying as she directed people to carry Cullen inside. As she brushed past, Ophelia deliberately stopped, glanced at the unconscious Cullen, and sincerely expressed her concern, “You must get better, don’t just die like this.”

She hadn’t fully taken her revenge yet. If she really died like this, wouldn’t that just make it too easy for him? Sienna heard the ominous words and her face turned pale with anger. “You-!”

Glancing at her, Ophelia curved her lips into a smile, but there was no trace of amusement in her eyes. “Sienna, you should take care of yourself.” What was clearly a caring remark, however, sent a chill to the bottom of one’s heart. Seeing Sienna looking threatened and unable to speak out, Ophelia walked away with a light step. Back by Winford’s side, she said sweetly, “Honey, let’s go!”

However, Winford seemed to be a bit unhappy, and his expression, which was difficult to read, made people feel a tightness in their hearts.

“Hubby?” Ophelia looked at him cautiously.

“Did you like Cullen?”

Ophelia’s expression suddenly froze, caught off guard.
