Chapter 39: Let Elva Move Out of Sunset Vista!

A man in a wheelchair appeared before the crowd. He was handsome and profound, exuding an imposing presence without anger.

“Mr. Winford!” Everyone’s heart sank in unison.

“What happened?” Winford’s gaze swept over the assembled people, finally landing on Ophelia.

Ophelia ran to his side without hesitation and complained, “Alfred and Elva were going to hit me!”

“Hit you? Who gave them the guts?”

Hearing Winford’s vague anger, Alfred and Elva altered their expressions. Mr. Winford actually defended Ophelia? Wasn’t he supposed to make her leave Sunset Vista?!

Alfred didn’t understand much, but he sensed something was wrong and instinctively looked at Elva. Elva, however, had no time to address his confusion. Mr. Winford’s attitude clearly caught her off guard. She looked flustered and hurriedly explained, “Mr. Winford, it was Ophelia who hit me first!”

She lowered her hands, revealing her bruised cheeks, and cried pitifully, “Look, she beat me up like this…!”

Hearing her omit the reason for the beating, Ophelia let out a cold snort and was about to speak when she heard Winford ask, “Why did she hit you? What did you do?”

The implication was that Elva must have been at fault; otherwise, Ophelia wouldn’t have attacked her for no reason. The fact was indeed like this, but Ophelia didn't expect Winford to stand by her without hesitation. She couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted, and stars shone in her eyes when she looked at him.

Elva was stunned. “…Mr. Winford?”

“What did you do?” Winford lowered his voice, his imposing presence overwhelming Elva, causing her to break out in a cold sweat. She thought revealing her injuries would make Mr. Winford feel sorry for her and be dissatisfied with Ophelia, but to her surprise, he didn’t even ask and simply assumed it was her fault! Elva felt extremely wronged.

“I just made her leave Sunset Vista quickly. She was shameless and betrayed Mr. Winford. What was wrong with me driving her away?”

“But she was so angry and embarrassed, or perhaps she held a grudge against me for showing her phone to Mr. Winford, that she actually hit me like this!”

Elva felt that, at this point, Ophelia had no grounds to stand on, and Mr. Winford could not possibly favor her anymore. Thinking this, she gave Ophelia a resentful smile.

To my surprise, Ophelia was unafraid and unflustered; instead, she returned the smile. The moment Elva saw her smile, she felt a sudden jolt in her heart and a sense of foreboding. And the next second, that premonition came true—

“You are a servant; she is the mistress. Who gave you the qualification and power to drive her away from Sunset Vista?” Winford’s icy voice froze the air.

The female host…? Realizing Winford’s meaning, Elva’s eyes widened.

“But… but didn’t Mr. Winford say to let her go?”

“When did Mr. Winford say this?” Ophelia spoke slowly, looking at her with a mocking expression.

Elva’s expression changed. Ophelia actually managed to soften Mr. Winford’s heart?! She was suddenly filled with panic and unwillingness, panicking over her actions and unwilling to accept that Ophelia had done such a thing. How could Mr. Winford still forgive her!

She didn't believe Mr. Winford could be so indulgent towards Ophelia. She recalled that when Ophelia had just come out, her eyes were clearly red, as if she had been crying. Ophelia was heading towards her room, looking as if she was about to pack her things. This made her doubt that Mr. Winford had originally intended to drive Ophelia away, and now he had only changed his mind temporarily to give Ophelia a chance to vent her feelings!

She unwillingly said to Ophelia, “Weren’t you just about to pack up and leave?!”

“Ah, you reminded me!” Ophelia seemed to recall something and smiled, “I really needed to tidy up a bit—”

Before the glimmer of expectation in Elva’s heart could rise, she heard her continue, “I have already made arrangements with Mr. Winford to go get the marriage license. If we delay any longer, City Hall will be closing!”

“Get a certificate?!” Elva suddenly widened her eyes.

“Yeah,” Ophelia looked at her momentarily unguarded expression and smiled slightly, “Do you have any opinions?”

“Opinions?” Elva didn’t dare to have any opinions! What qualifications did she have to have an opinion! She almost dug her nails into her palms and bit her lip, but under Mr. Winford’s frightening gaze, she could only force out an ugly smile and replied, “No…”

Winford indifferently withdrew his gaze, paying little attention to Elva. He glanced at the time and said to Ophelia, “Go change your clothes.”

Ophelia obediently nodded and was about to walk away, but then she stopped.

I almost forgot one thing.

“Mr. Winford, what was Elva’s status at Sunset Vista?”

Winford’s thin lips uttered two words: “The servant.”

“Then could she move my things around as she pleased?”

Elva’s heart tightened, and she immediately understood what Ophelia wanted to do. She hurriedly explained, “Mr. Winford, I went in to clean the room and that’s when I saw that phone—”

“I had put that phone in the locked drawer. How did you see it?” Ophelia directly exposed her.

Elva gritted her teeth and denied, “What locked drawer? There was none at all. I saw the phone on the table!”

Ophelia didn’t need to guess; she knew Elva had definitely tampered with the surveillance in her room to be so bold and confident. But she was busy going to City Hall at that moment and didn’t bother to say much more. She just said, “Fine, even if the phone was outside, who gave you the guts to mess with my phone?”

Elva was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Mr. Winford, how should we deal with someone like Elva?” Ophelia asked immediately.

Winford’s response showed no difficulty or hesitation: “Notify Bertha and have her daughter move out.”

Elva’s expression immediately changed. “Mr. Winford!” She wanted to drive Ophelia out, but the outcome was that she was the one who was going to be driven out?!

“Mr. Winford…” Alfred felt a pang of sympathy in his heart and wanted to intercede on her behalf.

Ophelia squinted her eyes and turned her head, “Mr….” Suddenly seeing Winford’s expression—his lips pressed down, and he didn’t seem very happy—she was suddenly inspired and quickly changed her words: “Honey!”

His cold and hard expression finally softened a little. Ophelia sighed with relief and then complained, “Just now, Alfred also wanted to hit me!”

Winford’s gaze, as deep as a cold pool, swept over Alfred, and he coldly ordered, “Go and accept your punishment yourself.”

Alfred froze and glared at Ophelia with a fierce look, wishing he could tear her apart. Ophelia gave him a victorious smile. Seeing that Alfred was about to explode with anger, she turned around and went to change her clothes, feeling quite satisfied.
