Chapter 46: Meeting the Scumbag, Caught by My Husband

Although the family had started a company, it wasn't large; over a million was not a small amount!

“How could you spend so much? Did you have that much money?!”

Gianna: “It was Ophelia who deliberately set me up! I bought something, and she didn’t pay me!”

“Ophelia?” Penelope’s expression darkened. “Has Ophelia lost her mind? Where did she get the courage? I will call your aunt right away!”

“Mom, please send me the money first; I was in urgent need of it!”

Noticing the shop assistant’s gaze on her, as if afraid she couldn’t afford to pay, Gianna felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed.

Penelope cursed Ophelia under her breath, enduring the pain, and transferred money to her daughter.

Gianna paid the money, her face darkening as she strode towards Ophelia, ready to confront her. However, Ophelia spoke up first:

“When did you plan to pay back the money?”

“…What?!”

“Pay me back.” Ophelia stood up, crossed her arms, and squinted slightly. “You didn’t forget what I just said, did you?”

She was 1.68 meters tall, while Gianna was only 1.60 meters. Despite the mere eight-centimeter difference, a pressure rushed at Gianna, making her unable to look her in the eye.

“…I didn’t have any money on me at that time!”

Gianna was momentarily stunned, and the question on the tip of her tongue was forcefully suppressed.

She had no intention of paying back that money, but at that moment, in front of so many people, she certainly wouldn’t say what was on her mind.

First, she dealt with it and said she would think about it later. As for paying back the money? Hmph! What was Ophelia thinking? When she got back, she was going to tell her aunt about it. Ophelia could just wait!

Ophelia saw through her thoughts at a glance, curled her lips slightly, and didn’t expose her. “Alright then, I’ll give you some time. I hope that by tomorrow, that ten million will appear in my account!”

“Lily, go!”

The clothes hadn’t been bought yet, but Gianna and a few others had bought some here. She found it annoying, so they decided to go to another store to buy.

“Madam, what should we do if she doesn’t pay back the money?”

Lily was worried.

That was ten million!

Gianna didn’t look like someone who would pay back money; her lady was just too kind!

Ophelia said leisurely, “Then I will go and ask for it, just in time since I was going to make a trip tomorrow.”

“Ah? Are you going to Ms. Conrad’s house? What was the lady going there for?”

“Of course—” Ophelia’s lips curled into a cold arc, her imposing presence radiating power, “—to reclaim what belongs to my family!”

Gianna did not appear in front of her, and she almost forgot that the house where Gianna lived was bought by her mother!

It was a villa located in a well-known affluent area. At that time, seeing Gianna’s family in such a poor situation, her mother took pity on them and temporarily lent them a place to stay.

However, this stay lasted for more than ten years. After her mother passed away, Gianna’s family had no intention of moving out at all, as if they had completely forgotten who the owner of the house was!

“Ophelia—!”

Just as I was about to leave the mall, a disgusting call suddenly came from not far away.

Ophelia almost instinctively pressed her lips together, a trace of coldness and disgust flickering in her eyes.

She pretended not to hear and continued walking forward without stopping.

Cullen ran over and stopped her directly.

“Ophelia!”

“Good dogs don’t block the way!” Ophelia coldly lifted her eyelids.

A flash of annoyance crossed Cullen’s eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it.

“Ophelia, I felt that we needed to have a serious talk. You clearly liked me, so what exactly happened that you treated me this way? Did Winford… deceive you?”

“Shut up!” Ophelia’s eyes flashed with anger. “Do you even deserve to mention his name?”

“Also, when did I ever say that I liked you?”

Cullen: “If you didn’t like me, then what were we before?”

Ophelia scoffed, clearly shorter than him, yet she had a sense of looking down on him. “Before? Just consider it as me playing with a dog out of boredom. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

“Ophelia! You!” Cullen’s handsome face showed an expression of anger.

Ophelia didn’t even blink, “What did I do?”

Thinking of the purpose of today, Cullen forcibly suppressed his anger and showed a tender expression. “Ophelia, if I did something wrong that made you angry, could you please tell me? I will change, and I apologize to you.”

Ophelia squinted her eyes.

Cullen was such a proud person. She had already said it to this extent, yet he could still endure it?

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Cullen thought he had touched her, and he immediately felt pleased. Ha, she acted so tough on the surface, but in the end, after a few sweet words from him, she softened, didn’t she?

Sure enough, Ophelia was still the same Ophelia as before, both foolish and easy to deceive!

He thought to himself, but his expression became even gentler. “Ophelia, let’s find a place to sit down and have a good talk, shall we?”

She stared at him for two seconds, then Ophelia said, “Okay.”

So capable of enduring, he must have some ulterior motive; she wanted to see what he was planning to do!

The two of them walked towards the nearest restaurant and ordered a private room.

No one noticed that, not far away, two people were watching them the whole time.

Watching Ophelia and Cullen walk into the private room one after the other and close the door, Graham felt cold sweat on his forehead and didn’t even dare to guess what expression the man in the wheelchair had at that moment.

In the suffocating silence, Graham finally couldn’t help but speak up: “Mr. Winford, were we going back…?”

Winford met someone at the restaurant today, and he was about to finish and leave when, unexpectedly, he saw Ophelia!

It would have been fine if it were just her, but there was also a Cullen!

In that very moment, Graham felt the air suddenly grow cold, and it was definitely not an illusion.

Winford’s profile was cold and sharp, his eyes deep like a cold pool, and the corners of his lips were pressed down, which was a sign of displeasure.

He was surrounded by an aura that sent a chill to the depths of one’s heart.

Finally, the man’s cold voice sounded.

“Go and get a private room; it’s next to them.”

It was neither hurried nor slow, yet it made one break out in a cold sweat.

Graham felt a tightness in his chest and couldn’t help but secretly light a candle for Ophelia.

I hoped that the new lady would not say anything inappropriate or do anything she shouldn’t do….
