Chapter 81

“Honey, I didn’t…”

Samuel didn’t believe it at all. He raised his hand and slapped her again, furious. “You shameless woman! The company ran into trouble, and I had to beg everyone for help, while you were calculating your own gains, hiding my daughter’s money without letting me know!”

“Before tonight, you must hand over at least three hundred million, without a single cent missing, otherwise I will go directly to City Hall for a divorce!”

She left in anger after saying those words. Erin was beaten and fell onto the sofa. Her face was pale, her eyes bloodshot, and her chest was heaving violently.

I wished I could rush to Sunset Vista and tear Ophelia apart!

“-Bitch, little bitch! Wait for her!!”

“Sister! What happened to brother-in-law?”

The Herrera family sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked Erin. Erin said Winford’s words with hatred. Hudson and Sophia’s faces turned pale, and they collapsed directly to the ground.

“Mr. Winford?!” When did we offend such a big shot?”

Chapter 1

Sunset Vista, Mr. Winford! Just hearing this name was enough to instill fear! Based on their family’s social status, they didn’t even have the qualifications to get close to Sunset Vista. When did they actually offend the other party?!

Erin glared at her daughter, who was deliberately hiding the truth, and said, “Don’t you understand by now? Mr. Winford is the man that Ophelia married!”

“You offended Ophelia, which meant you offended Mr. Winford!”

And now, it was precisely because Ophelia was unhappy that he wanted the Herrera family to leave Minston just as they had come, with nothing at all! The Herrera family felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and at that moment, it seemed like the sky had fallen down!

Gianna was in a daze, unable to believe, “Ophelia… actually married Mr. Winford?”

Sunset Vista. Ophelia ended the conversation with a servant of the Greene family. Upon learning that she had successfully tricked Erin, she felt extremely pleased.

Erin indeed did not take her share of the dividends, not because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t dare to, fearing that her grandfather’s family would find out. However, it was true that the other party had three hundred million in their account, and she had learned about this matter accidentally in her previous life.

She didn’t know where Erin had gotten the money, but it seemed rather improper; otherwise, she wouldn’t have hidden it so secretly and carefully. She bet that the other party wouldn’t dare to reveal the true source of the money to Samuel, so they could only swallow this bitter loss, take on the blame she had thrown at them, and honestly hand over the three hundred million!

She put away her phone and ran upstairs. With light footsteps and the hem of her skirt fluttering, she had just gone upstairs when she unexpectedly bumped into the broad and firm embrace of a man. The reassuring and captivating scent immediately filled her senses.

“Honey…?”

A strong arm wrapped around her waist, and the chest against which she leaned vibrated slightly. Then, a deep voice resonated from above her head—

“Impulsive.”

The two short words carried a faint reprimand, while a large hand gently tapped her on the waist.

“Did you hit me?” she murmured as she looked up at him, her eyes filled with accusation.

“What bad thing did you do?” Winford asked without changing his expression, leading her downstairs while shifting the topic.

Ophelia was immediately taken away. She spoke triumphantly about how she had tricked Erin, showing no concern at all for revealing her not-so-pure-and-kind side in front of him.

After saying that, she cautiously raised her eyes to look at him and asked, “Honey, did you think it was wrong for me to do this?”

Winford almost burst into laughter; this was not good, and he estimated that after his death, he would only be able to go to hell.

“There’s nothing wrong with it,” he said lightly, “It’s perfectly normal to be bullied and to fight back.”

Ophelia quietly sighed in relief, and her brows and eyes became lively again. Looking at her innocent appearance, a shadow flickered in Winford’s eyes. She was so clear and bright, dazzling and radiant, with not a single spot of dirt on her entire body. Yet, after doing just this small thing, she felt anxious and thought it was not good.

Completely different from him.

Ophelia didn’t notice the man’s gaze; she was thinking about how far Graham had gone—had he interrupted Sophia and Hudson’s one leg or two legs? The Herrera family was so disgusting that losing just one leg seemed a bit insufficient to vent their anger… Otherwise, did she quietly go and ruin the other one as well?

“The time to take the medicine had come,” Winford suddenly said.
