Chapter448
Freya has always been loving towards her daughter, never willing to speak harshly. But this time, she was really furious. Seeing Lenora repeatedly speaking up for Ophelia, her attitude towards Isabelle became increasingly cold. She couldn’t help but use a heavier tone.
Pale–faced Isabelle lowered her eyelids, a hint of triumph flashing in her
eves.
He whispered. “Aunt, don’t speak like that about Nora. Ophelia is her cousin, so it’s normal for Nora to defend her.”
Lenora was angry and wanted to say something, but suddenly there came a slow and steady sound of footsteps from outside.
Lenora often interacted with Ophelia and Winford. As soon as she heard the footsteps, she immediately ran to the door and recognized who the
Owner was.
“Ophelia, Winford!”
When she saw Winford, she was somewhat surprised.
It was great that Winford came along, so Ophelia wouldn’t be bullied anymore!
She shouted “Ophelia” and then shouted “Winford“. The Whitaker family’s faces all slightly changed, and they all looked towards the door.
The sound of footsteps stopped at the door, and Ophelia’s figure appeared in front of the Whitaker family.
She didn’t come alone, she was intimately holding the hand of a tall man,
standing side by side with him.
Everyone except Shaun had already seen Winford before, but seeing this. man again at this moment still brought a sense of oppression, making people instinctively tense and fearful.
Shaun’s sharp and intense gaze was fixed on Winford, “I suppose this is Mr. Winford?”
Winford looked indifferent and said, “Sir Whitaker.”
“Grandfather, uncle, aunt, Xander, Lenora,” Ophelia greeted with a smile, one by one.
Freya didn’t look very well. She asked Ophelia to apologize, but Ophelia brought Winford instead. What does this mean? Are they trying to assert dominance?!
After greeting. Ophelia’s gaze fell upon Isabelle.
Seeing the extremely obvious and horrifying wounds on Isabelle’s body, she couldn’t help but laugh scornfully
To design her, Isabelle really got down to work on herself!
“What happened, Ms. Whitaker? How did you end up in such a mess? Were you beaten up by someone?”
Freya’s face darkened instantly as she heard her mocking words. She stood up and said, “Isabelle, what’s going on? Aren’t you supposed to know best?”
Ophelia remained expressionless, “But I just don’t know for sure, why don’t you tell me, Ms. Whitaker?”
Isabelle gave Freya a slightly bitter smile and shook her head gently, “Aunt, let’s just forget about it…”
It was as if Winford behind Ophelia was being considerate, as if he was being considerate of Ophelia’s true identity as his biological daughter, and voluntarily stepping back.
Freya, who had become even angrier upon seeing Ophelia, coldly stared at her and was about to speak, but Richard suddenly held her hand.
Richard also looked at Ophelia, speaking gently, “Ophelia, Isabelle said it was you who caused her to be hurt like this, is that true?”
Ophelia neither admitted nor denied, she said, “I have two questions I would like to ask Ms. Whitaker first.”
“First, where did I hurt you?”
“Secondly, why did I hurt you?”
As soon as these two questions were raised, they directly targeted the key point. In order to clarify, it was necessary to bring up Ink Pharmaceuticals and the events at the Ink Pharmaceuticals annual conference!
By then, they had to bring up Isabelle, why did she run to Ink Pharmaceuticals!
You see, Ink Pharmaceuticals was the inheritance left by Harriet to her biological daughter. Over the years, Shaun hasn’t handed over the company to Ophelia, but he hasn’t given it to Isabelle either.
What does it mean for her, as an adopted daughter, to attend the annual meeting as the future boss?!
