Chapter 365

At the hotel, Lydia and Ophelia finally stopped fighting. Ophelia glared at India. “You call yourself a wealthy Lady? You’re nothing but a street brawler!” She hadn’t expected Lydia to fight back so viciously. That was the only reason she had ended up in such a mess. Then, she turned her sharp gaze to Jamar. “You and your mother ganging up on a single woman! Shameless!”

Lydia scoffed coldly. “You forced me into this, you bitch. At least what we did was out in the open, unlike your sneaky backstabbing ways.”

Ophelia snorted. “I’m calling the police.”

Jamvir raised an eyebrow. “Go ahead, if you’re not afraid of humiliating yourself.” He held up his phone and shook it slightly. “I recorded everything that just happened. My mom may have been in the wrong for hitting you, but with a lawyer, all she’ll need to do is apologize and pay some compensation.” He added, “But what about you? You manipulated my mother against Phoebe Jenkins and even hired a Voodoo Warlock to harm her. If that gets leaked online… Phoebe has millions of fans. Imagine what they’d do to you when they find out.”

Of course, he had no intention of actually posting the video online. This fight involved his own mother, after all. The scene of two high-society women clawing at each other was far too disgraceful. But he could still use it to threaten Ophelia.

Ophelia’s expression stiffened. Suddenly, she lunged at Jamar, trying to snatch his phone. She had been too careless earlier, blurting out all her hidden thoughts in the heat of the moment. If that video ever got out, she would be utterly ruined. Her reputation had already taken a hit because of Jake’s tweet. She couldn’t afford to make things worse.

Jamar had been expecting this. The moment Ophelia pounced, he swiftly slipped his phone into his pocket. Then, with a smirk, he added, “Oh, and I’ve already sent the video to my brother. So even if you take my phone, it won’t make a difference.”

Ophelia glared at him with pure malice. “You’re both disgusting. Get out! Now!” She had originally planned to call the police, but she couldn’t take the risk. If Jamar really leaked the video, the consequences would be disastrous for her. But today’s humiliation, they would make them pay for it.

Lydia, now calmer, shot Ophelia a cold glance. She straightened her hair and adjusted her clothes before turning to leave with Jamar. Ophelia had poisoned her with that cursed fragrance, manipulated her like a fool, and tried to ruin her relationship with her daughter. She would never let this go.

Back in the hospital room, Elliot immediately noticed the scratches on Lydia’s face. Even though she had tidied up her hair, it was still a mess. Her blouse collar had also been torn. He frowned in surprise. “You got into a fight with Mrs. HAP?”

Lydia pouted, feeling wronged. “She treated me like that. I had to fight back. But that woman is so uncivilized. She grabbed me and started clawing like a mudwoman.” Then, she shot Jamar a glare. “And you! You just stood there while I was getting beaten up!”

Aside from her cleverest son, the rest of her children were utterly useless. She was disappointed.

Jamar rubbed his nose awkwardly. “I was shocked by what I was seeing.” Honestly, he had been completely stunned at the time. He had never seen his mother in a brawl before, let alone been involved in one himself.

Lydia huffed. “Nevertheless, I’m going to see the doctor and get my wounds treated. I wouldn’t want to catch rabies from that crazy woman.” In her mind, Ophelia was no better than a rabid dog.

After Lydia left the room, Elliot turned to Jamar and asked for details. Jamar opened the recorded video and showed it to him. After watching it, Elliot was stunned. In his impression, his wife had always been gentle and well-mannered. Now, seeing her cursing and fighting like that completely overturned his perception of her.

He then told Jamar, “Don’t spread this video around. If it gets online, I’ll be so embarrassed.” If people in their social circle saw it, they would definitely become the laughingstock. After thinking for a moment, he added, “Send me a copy.”

Jamar nodded, “Okay!” Then, he sent the video to his father. Elliot, in turn, forwarded it to Finnian along with an explanation. He had a good relationship with Finnian and they had business dealings. He didn’t want their wives’ conflict to affect their companies’ collaborations. However, considering how deeply Finnian loved his wife, Elliot wasn’t sure if he would get angry and hold a grudge. Of course, if Finnian insisted on making an issue out of it over a woman, Elliot wasn’t afraid either.

Finnian was abroad. When he received the video and Elliot’s explanation, he was speechless. He felt Ophelia was truly troublesome. Watching the video, he couldn’t help but sigh. Lydia was really weak. She clearly had the upper hand, yet she failed to completely beat Ophelia down.

Finnian had no intention of maintaining his “hopelessly in love” persona in front of Elliot. He simply replied it was alright and it was his wife’s fault. He told Elliot not to take it to heart. Looking at the current state of the Jenkins family, Finnian figured they might have to join forces to deal with the mastermind behind all of this. So, for now, maintaining peace was the best approach.

Elliot let out a sigh of relief, and the two men continued chatting. Of course, they both agreed on one thing: The video must not be leaked. They couldn’t afford such humiliation.

At the Horoscope Association courtyard, Raylan looked at Phoebe with a smirk and asked, “You saved the video. Are you planning to stir up trouble?” He had just realized that Phoebe was such a skilled hacker. He had to admit, she was quite interesting.

Phoebe chuckled and said, “Since they delivered it to me on a silver platter, if I don’t cause some trouble, wouldn’t that be a waste!”

Rylan raised an eyebrow, curious. “Are you going to post it online directly!” Somehow, he felt that with Phoebe’s mischievous nature, she wouldn’t act so straightforwardly.
