Chapter 174
Ophelia:
She realized that he was really angry, and without hesitation, she said-
“Honey, I was wrong!”
Winford’s expression was cold and hard, showing no signs of emotion.
At that moment, the bodyguard outside reported, “Mr. Winford, the president of Ventura University has arrived!”
The man’s expression grew even colder as he said in a chilling voice, “Let them in!”
Not only George came, but also Paul.
“Mr. Winford!”
When Paul saw Ophelia lying on the hospital bed, his smile became even more unpleasant.
Before coming, he had comforted himself more than once, thinking that perhaps Ophelia and Mr. Winford had nothing to do with each other, and that Mr. Winford was just being kind, helping someone who was injured.
At that moment, he could no longer deceive himself.
No matter how enthusiastic Mr. Winford was, how could he have sent someone to the hospital and still not leave, but instead stayed there. personally to keep watch?
“What are you two here for?” Winford raised his eyelids and glanced

over, the overwhelming sense of pressure made Paul’s legs go weak, and he almost embarrassedly lost his balance.
Winford did not sit down; his tall figure stood by the bed, and the two principals naturally did not dare to sit either. Paul was almost bending at a ninety–degree angle.
“I, I came to apologize to Mr. Winford!” Paul wiped his cold sweat and forced a smile as he said, “What happened today was due to our poor arrangements, which caused Mr. Winford some unpleasantness…”
Seeing him bowing and scraping like that, Ophelia on the bed mockingly curled her lip.
Now you know what fear is? Weren’t you very angry when you removed her spot before?
She let out a cold snort, tugged at Winford’s sleeve, and immediately complained, “Honey, this Paul was really something before. My classmates worked hard to get votes for me, but he just withdrew, saying I wasn’t worthy and that I should give the spot to someone else–oh, to the noble and highly esteemed Elva!”
She puffed her cheeks unhappily and said, “Otherwise, I could have given you flowers today!”
Winford had originally intended to deliberately ignore her, hoping she would reflect on herself. However, when he looked down and met her flattering yet somewhat aggrieved gaze, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to shake off her hand.
“Could the two of you explain what this means at your school?” The gaze, as cold as the winter wind, swept over Paul and the other person.
The anger that the g
that the girl was reluctant to express was directed entirely at the person in front of her who was being oblivious.

Paul was momentarily taken aback, his mind buzzing with Ophelia’s natural utterance of “husband.”
George’s heart sank as he realized that Paul might have messed things up!
He glanced at the girl on the bed and cautiously asked, “I wonder if this classmate is Mr. Winford’s…?”
Winford coldly raised his eyes and said. “My wife, is there a problem?”
“Clang-”
Paul unexpectedly weakened his legs and knocked over the shelf next to
him!
“Wife, wife?!”
“That Elva-?!”
“Elva? She was just the daughter of a maid at home!”
Elva walked to the door and happened to hear this sentence, instantly freezing in place.
“Elva?!” The followers who came behind her looked at her in shock.
“Are you really the daughter of a servant?!”
Before coming, they still held onto a glimmer of hope in their hearts, wondering if that aunt was someone else who had been brought in to frame Elva. After all, the luxury cars that Elva usually rode in were not
fake!
Until this moment, they heard that big shot personally stamping the approval, and Elva was just the daughter of a servant in his household!
Among them, Sarah reacted the most. She and her uncle completely stood

by Elva, only to find out that the so–called wealthy heiress was nothing but a fake!
Elva was actually just the daughter of a maid!
Thinking about the possible revenge they might face from the big boss. afterwards, she felt a darkness cloud her vision and wished she could tear Elva’s face apart.
“Elva, how could you be so shameless?!”
“A servant’s daughter actually pretended to be a wealthy heiress. How could you have the nerve to do that?!”
Sarah grabbed Elva’s hair, and if it weren’t for the people around her stopping her, she definitely would have slapped her a couple more times!
Elva’s face was pale as she forcefully pushed Sarah away.
She said fiercely but with a hint of weakness, “I am not the daughter of a servant! My status is not something you can question!”
After saying that, she wanted to sneak away–she had come to the hospital to plead with Mr. Winford to help her cover up a lie, hoping that he would do so out of gratitude for her father saving Glenda. However, she didn’t expect that both principals would be there, and Mr. Winford even directly revealed her identity!
