Chapter 338

Lyslia was born into a wealthy family. As the family’s eldest daughter, she was favored. Except for not having a good relationship with her sister, her parents and two brothers doted on her. Therefore, it was the first time her brother had been so mean to her.

Although Elbot did not hear what they had talked about on the phone, he could roughly guess it from Lydia’s words. He thought his brother-in-law was clear-minded. And he even wondered if Ophelia had gaslighted Lyfia, leading her to lose her mind.

He thought for a moment and looked at Lydia seriously: “How about I take you to…”

“Or see a psychologist.”

If Lydia was gaslighted, seeing a psychologist might help.

Lydia came back to her senses after hearing that. She widened her eyes in anger and looked at him in disbelief. “You think I’m mentally ill, too?”

Filist tried his best to persuade her gently. “We have to face the problem if there’s any. Let’s go see the psychologist.”

Lydia was so mad that she almost couldn’t breathe. “Get lost!”

After saying that, she turned around and stormed out of the ward. I’m not sick! Screw the psychologist.

Seeing Lydia leave angrily, Elliot and Cain were helpless. But neither cared about her.

Without Elliot and her family’s help, Lyilia, the housewife all her life, couldn’t turn to anyone else.

As expected, after she left the hospital in a fit of anger, she could only ask her assistant to help look into it.

When she returned to the hotel in Stel, Oriar, it was already night. The assistant had finished investigating and replayed the live stream for her to see.

Seeing the girls locked up in the courtyard and the police confirmation of bodies dug out from under the tree, Lydia was stunned again. Then, she muttered to herself, “Is this true? Did her nephew do such an evil thing!”

The assistant seethed inwardly. ‘It’s obvious, but Mrs. Jenkins still doesn’t believe it.’ Jake and his accomplices had done so many evil and disgusting things. It was only right to sentence them to death.

The assistant said, “Yes, I investigated it. It’s confirmed that they did it.”

“We’re still looking into Jake’s murder. Human trafficking, selling women, illegal businesses, and so on, were all found to be true. He confessed it himself. But imprisoning and bullying innocent women…”

“They also colluded with foreign forces. Not only did they conduct human trafficking, but they also opened illegal casinos. They lured people here to gamble and destroyed many families. If he’s convicted, he’ll be in jail for the rest of his life. The woman found to be involved in the murder might even face a death sentence.”

The assistant carefully added, “So, Mrs. Jenkins, you must have been deceived by Ophelia.”

Lydia’s expression darkened; she couldn’t help but take out her phone and call Ophelia to confront her.

Ophelia did not expect so many of her nephew’s wrongdoings to be exposed so quickly. None of them knew Pluche had used evil energy on Jake. So, the things he did would be exposed by various coincidences. It was also easy to trigger and discover many hidden problems. Moreover, Jake would involuntarily confess.

Of course, Ophelia wouldn’t admit it to Lydia. She denied and explained she didn’t know about these things. She said the Lyons family called and told her that Phoebe had framed Jake, so she believed it.

Chapter 338

She didn’t want to lose Lysha, a friend she could use to deal with Phoebe… the pain and bitterness of being deceived by the Lyons family…

E calmed Inda, who was about to explode with rage, and then even comforted Ophelia.

After hanging up, Ophelia was also furious. In her heart, the cursed Ivila for being… zealous as to have failed to deal with a man. He had set… she could not bear to see him behind bars for the rest of his life.

Ivons family kept calling to urge her. So, she kept calling Emnian. S was overseas, had deliberately named of his phone. However, his other phone was on… transfer notification. His face went gloomy when he saw the continuous notifications.

Finnian had always let Ophelia be because of the horoscope master behind her. However, he did not expect Jake to have done such evil things on the sly. He even got the Hill family involved.

Of course, Finnian would not care about such things, let alone help. He would rather see Jake sentenced to death. Therefore, he planned to be out of contact recently: when he returned home, he would at most let Ophelia throw a tantrum.

Finnian’s tolerance for Ophelia was almost at its limit. He only hoped they could quickly catch the person behind this so he could get rid of this…

Ophelia could not contact Finnian, so she targeted her sons. She first called her elder son, Søren. So, his mother’s call and immediately guessed what she wanted. To fight for his life, he had to do good deeds. So, he couldn’t help Jake.

As long as it involved the Lyons family, Ophelia never knew her place and was hopelessly devoted to helping them. Hence, Soven turned his phone to silent mode and pretended not to hear it.

Ophelia could not contact Soren and got a good scolding from her mother again. An idea. After telling her of her mother even gave Ophelia an…

Ophelia thought de…sense and was ready to call her younger son, Reece. At that moment, Reece and Phoebe had just returned to the hotel and ended today’s live stream.

After leaving the courtyard, Phoebe and the others returned to Orar to continue their fortune-telling business. Because of what had happened earlier, anyone who didn’t have a guilty conscience wanted to come to Phoebe for fortune-telling. Therefore, she was so busy that she went to eat in the evening and only came back then. They ate with the other two groups, so they returned together.

It was still early, so everyone suggested drinking coffee in the courtyard. Reece’s phone rang as soon as he sat down. He picked it up and heard his mother’s irritable voice. First, she reproached him, saying he left his cousin in the lurch and had done nothing to help.

Hearing that, Reece was pissed. “Morn, Jake has committed so many crimes. How can I help him?”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

Ophelia had no morals at all for the sake of the Lyons family.

Reece wondered. Why was I so foolish in the past to want the love from this kind of mother?

Ophelia wanted to scold Reece but found he was unhappy. Hence, she could only endure it and coax him nicely.

Chapter 338

But Reece did not want to bear…

“I’m hanging up.”

Ophelia immediately said, “Don’t hang up.”

“Reece, can you bear to see your mommy so sad afterward?”

“Your grandparents are aged. Can you bear to let them see their precious grandson Jake dead?”

She could only play the sentimental card if she couldn’t be harsh on him.

Unexpectedly, Reece said, “Yeah, why not?”

“After all, Jake deserved it. He had it coming!”

Ophelia was speechless. What the hell? What kind of heartless son is this?

She couldn’t help commanding as usual. “No matter what, you must help Jake with this.”

Reece frowned and sneered. “I’m just a celebrity. What can I do to help a criminal?”

“Mom, are you out of your mind! Don’t you have any common sense?”

Ophelia was furious. “You’re the one who’s lost your mind. You can’t help, but someone can!”

Reece asked, “Who?”

Ophelia said, “Phoebe!”

“She got Jake into this mess, so she has to take responsibility. Isn’t she the horoscope master? As long as she figures something out, she can save Jake.”

Then, Ophelia seemed magnanimous and compromised. “If you ask Phoebe to get Jake out, I’ll agree to you two being together.”

For Jake, she could only endure it for now. She had always thought Phoebe loved Reece so much that she could not leave him. As for the so-called breakup and cold treatment from before, she was only playing hard to get.

Now, only Phoebe could save Jake. In addition, Ophelia thought her mother was right. If Phoebe married into the Hill family, she would be Ophelia’s mother-in-law, so she could do whatever she wanted to Ophelia, just like Theresa had dealt with her.

Previously, she was stuck in a dead end. Therefore, she agreed to their relationship. After Phoebe married into the Hill family, she would give that little vixen a tough time.

Reece was at a loss for words. His father and sister once said Ophelia was self-righteous and brainless, and Reece didn’t think so back then. But after listening to her words, he couldn’t agree more.
