Chapter 83

“How did I insult you?” Ophelia tilted her head. “Isn’t this your own logic? If I dress like this, it means I’m being provocative, so what does that make you?”

Eliana was almost furious. She forced herself to suppress her anger as she looked at Ophelia, who was all alone. Suddenly, she sneered, “I heard you married into Sunset Vista? Didn’t they say you were favored by Mr. Winford? So why are you here all by yourself today?”

“Ha, in such a situation, he didn’t even accompany you. I think Mr. Winford didn’t take you seriously at all! You, Ophelia, were just a discarded woman!”

Eliana had just heard that Ophelia had actually married that powerful figure, and she was extremely jealous. However, seeing Ophelia alone at that moment made her feel relieved. Ah, what affection! It was just a rumor that Ophelia spread herself! Mr. Winford didn’t care about her at all!

Ophelia was very calm, showing no signs of being provoked by the pointed remarks. She simply replied coolly, “You don’t even consider what your family is worth to deserve my husband’s presence? Oh no, given your family’s status, it seems you don’t even have the qualification to deliver an invitation to him, do you?”

“Ophelia!!” Eliana was furious. In the past, she took the most pride in her family background. When she was young, her family could not compare to the Greene family, and when she was with Ophelia, she only had the qualification to be her playmate! However, since Harriet was gone, the Greene family had been declining day by day, and now the Madison family had already surpassed the Greene family in status! Previously, she had loved to put on airs of a young lady in front of Ophelia, but now, hearing Ophelia belittle her family like this, she could hardly tolerate it.

He immediately blurted out, “What is Mr. Winford! Just an old man on the verge of death–ah!!”

Before she could finish speaking, a slap landed hard on her face, nearly making her lose her balance!

Ophelia’s smile vanished, and her gaze became chillingly cold. Her face was as beautiful as a flower, yet it inexplicably instilled fear in others.

“What did you say? Huh? Did you have the guts to say it again?”

Eliana leaned against Bessie to steady herself, her eyes blazing with anger. “Did you dare to hit me?! Did I say something wrong? Mr. Winford was originally–ah!!!”

Eliana’s scream almost echoed throughout the entire banquet hall. Ophelia did not hesitate to slap her a second time, and then she grabbed her hair and dragged her over forcefully.

“Didn’t your mother teach you how to speak? Then I will teach you properly today!”

The effortless movements, the fierce expression, and the cold gaze stunned everyone around. Bessie was shocked. Was this still the same Ophelia from before?

“Ophelia! What were you doing? Hurry and let go of Eliana!”

Chapter 3

Ophelia’s frightening gaze suddenly turned towards her. Bessie’s heart skipped a beat, and she was so frightened that she took a step back.

“Eliana!” a desperate scream suddenly came. “Ophelia! What are you doing? Let go of my daughter!!”

Eliana’s mother, Victoria, came, accompanied by Erin.

“Mom! Save me! That bitch Ophelia…Ah!”

At that moment, Eliana was in a terrible state, with her hair disheveled and her makeup all smudged, completely losing the arrogance and pride she had before.

In the center of the bright and luxurious hall, at that moment, everyone had their eyes wide open, looking at that place. The girl was incredibly beautiful, but her actions were shockingly brutal. She was calm and composed, handling everything with ease, dragging the Madison family’s heiress as if she were a piece of trash!

Seeing Victoria appear, she casually lifted her eyelids, showing no trace of fear on her face, and forcefully threw the person in her hand towards the direction where the other party was coming.

“Your daughter lacked proper manners in her speech, so I taught her how to speak. No need to thank me!”

Victoria almost fainted with anger, “Ophelia! You are so bold!”

He raised his hand and struck her beautiful face like a flower!

Ophelia’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and she suddenly smiled, not flinching or avoiding. “Do you dare to try and touch me?”

With just that one sentence, Victoria’s hand froze in mid-air. Ophelia’s cold gaze suddenly made her realize that the girl in front of her was no longer the pitiful little thing who was only cared for by her stepmother. She was now Mr. Winford’s woman! She dared to move even a single hair of hers, and afterwards, Winford would be able to make the Madison family completely disappear!

Seeing her face turn pale, as if she had come to an understanding, Ophelia smiled slightly, her demeanor graceful. “I went to get something to drink, please excuse me.”
