Chapter 197
Others looked on with envy and teasing, saying, “No wonder! Every time class ended, you ran so fast. If I had such a handsome and doting husband, I would also rush home right after class every day!”
A group of people laughed and chatted as they walked towards the school.
Suddenly, Ophelia’s gaze swept to a short distance away, where she saw a few familiar figures.
“Eh? Aren’t those Elva’s followers from before?” Lucy also noticed and said disdainfully.
Leading the group was Sarah. They saw Winford bringing Ophelia over and the scene where Lucy and the others greeted Winford.
At the sight of Lucy, especially Ophelia, Sarah’s face turned pale, as if she had seen some evil spirit, and she hurriedly ran away with the people beside her, as if fleeing.
Ophelia raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “Am I really that terrifying?”
“You didn’t even think about how they treated you back then!” Lucy said angrily. “Those rumors in school were all started by them! I don’t know how many bad things they said about you to Elva on a regular basis!”
Hannah also scoffed, “Now you’re scared, but back when you were by Elva’s side, weren’t you quite pleased?”
However, who could have imagined that after all the effort spent on flattery and ingratiation, Elva ended up being just a servant’s daughter,
and they even offended the real person in charge!
“By the way. Ophelia, did you know? Elva was expelled!”
“Right, and Mr. Griffin disappeared directly from Ventura University!”
Hearing the news, Ophelia was not surprised.
In the past few days, she stayed at home and did not inquire about the situation at school. However, she could easily guess that since Winford was upset, how could Ventura University possibly allow Elva and Paul to continue staying at the school?
When she arrived in the classroom, her classmates‘ eyes lit up upon seeing
her.
“Ophelia, you had come back!”
They gathered around.
There were students in the classroom who were not part of the class, seemingly having come up with excuses to visit after hearing the news of her return to school.
As soon as they saw her, someone tentatively asked-
“Ophelia, was that the big shot who just brought you here?!”
“Yes, yes, is it him? I saw the photos on the forum, that car is something that ordinary people can’t afford, right? It must be the big shot, isn’t it!”
Faced with the excited onlookers, Ophelia smiled and did not answer, only saying, “Class is about to start.”
“Today I didn’t leave! I just stayed here to audit the class!”
“Also, Ophelia, what was your relationship with the boss? That day when
you got hurt. I saw how nervous the boss was about you…”
That morning. Ophelia hardly listened to the class; the two periods passed by amidst the crowd of onlookers.
She found it quite overwhelming and thought that there might be more people waiting for her after class, so she hurriedly slipped away before the class was over.
Winford said he would come to pick her up, but she came out early, so she sent him a message telling him not to come, and then she walked to the apartment by herself.
When I reached the apartment door. I happened to run into Alfred coming out from inside.
Alfred had red eyes, and his handsome face was tightly strained, not knowing what he had just experienced inside.
Upon seeing her, his expression suddenly turned very unpleasant, and his eyes revealed an unmistakable sense of hostility and disgust.
“Finally got rid of Elva, were you very happy?!”
He questioned angrily.
Ophelia was speechless: “Elva brought this upon herself; what does it have to do with me?”
“Don’t try to argue! Don’t I know what kind of person Elva is? She is such a kind and innocent girl, without any ulterior motives. If it weren’t for your deliberate scheme to frame her, how could she have possibly been driven out?!”
Kind and simple? Elva?
Ophelia almost couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Chapt
She believed that Elva was not scheming, after all, people were indeed very foolish.
But how blind was Alfred to say that the other person was kind and simple?
No wonder I almost lost my life because of Elva!
“Are you out of your mind?” she mocked unceremoniously. “I really can’t believe that with your intelligence, you actually became Mr. Winford’s trusted confidant!”
Alfred angrily said, “What do you mean?!”
“Not much to say, just speaking the truth,” Ophelia tugged at her lip. “Considering your position, I’ll give you a piece of advice: don’t trust Elva!”
After saying that, she directly lifted her foot and left.
Ophelia thought that what happened in her past life was unlikely to occur again, and she gave Alfred this advice just in case. However, she did not expect that something would happen that very night.
