Chapter416
As if hardened steel turned into a soft touch.
And the esteemed Winford, just because his young wife called out, came over respectfully and joined her in calling “grandmother“. How could Helena not be satisfied with this!
She realized that Winford really cared about her granddaughter. All of his reactions indicated that he was unwilling to let Lia suffer.
Helena felt instantly at ease.
Her eyes were filled with kindness, “So this is my grandson–in–law? The marriage proposal your mother chose for you was indeed correct!”
Ophelia glanced at Winford and love overflowed in her eyes.
Winford noticed her gaze, and a gentle expression appeared on her face.
Helena looked at the atmosphere between the two of them and felt even more pleased. She suddenly took off a jade green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Ophelia, saying with a pained and guilty expression, “When my Lia got married, Grandma didn’t know and didn’t give you any dowry. You can have this for now, and Grandma will make it up to you later with something else.”
Isabelle looked on, her face changed again, and her hand by her side clenched into a fist unwillingly.
She recognized that bracelet, Helena’s most beloved possession, saying that Shaun brought it back for her from an auction many years ago, worth several billion!
Chapten!!!
She had looked really interested before, trying to show her intentions, but Helena had no intention of giving it to her at all.
At that moment, the other person gave Ophelia without any hesitation. Her eyes turned red with anger, and she quickly lowered her head to conceal her expression.
Indeed, blood is thicker than water. What’s the use of spending so many years at the other person’s knees?
Ha!
Isabelle was acutely aware at that moment that, even though she took the surname Whitaker from Harriet, which made her sound closer to the Whitaker family, she was still just an adopted daughter.
Even this adopted daughter was taken in by the Whitaker family instead. of being accepted by Harriet herself, without Harriet’s approval at all!
What does it matter if she usually treats her well? Once she encounters Ophelia, she still has to step aside!
Ophelia caught a glimpse and saw Isabelle’s undisguised gloomy expression.
But she didn’t bother at all, she took the bracelet given by Helena and cherished it dearly, “Thank you, grandma.”
“Silly child, what are you saying?” Helena, with red eyes, touched her head. “Over the years, Grandma has only given you one thing.”
Seeing her upset, Ophelia changed the subject: “How did Grandma end up here?”
“Isabelle said she wanted to take a family portrait,
and she came over today to choose a photographer and templates…” Helena suddenly choked up at this point.
To take a family photo, it would be right to take it with her, Lia. What is it to exclude her and take it with Isabelle?
In an instant. Helena lost all interest in the family photo.
Before. I noticed that Isabelle was not in a good mood these past few days, so when she brought it up, I didn’t oppose. However, now that I see her Lia. I realize how inappropriate it is.
“Never mind, let’s not take it, we’ll take it later when Lia returns to the Whitaker’s villa.”
Upon hearing this, Freya quickly glanced at Isabelle’s expression and saw her biting her lip, looking somewhat disappointed and embarrassed. Instantly. Freya felt a great deal of heartache and wanted to say something to her mother–in–law. However, when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them forcefully.
“What was happening just now? Was someone bullying you?” Helena asked again at this moment.
