Chapter223
“Shut up!” Adalynn said with a stern face. “You were doing just fine, Bessie. I went through a lot of trouble to stand up for you, and this is how you repay me?”
In front of so many people, it made her unable to come down from the stage!
Bessie pinched her palm. Although she had used Adalynn to deal with Ophelia, it was clear that Adalynn disliked Ophelia because of Cullen. Her grievances were merely a superficial excuse. How could she now speak so grandly about it?
However, no matter what she thought in her heart, she did not dare to say it out loud.
She was no longer the pampered Ms. Bessie of the Greene family. Samuel had long since lost the affection he once had for her and Erin, not to mention Adalynn’s family background, which she simply could not afford to provoke!
So after receiving a slap from Adalynn, she didn’t dare to get angry and had to force a smile, apologizing, “I’m sorry, Adalynn, I didn’t want to “I’m sorry, Adalynn, I didn’t want to either, but you heard it too, Ophelia threatened me…”
She spoke with a bitter tone: “If I dared to make Ophelia apologize today, my dad would call me home in the evening. He has always favored
Ophelia and wouldn’t let me off the hook…”
She spoke with a heart–wrenching sadness, but Adalynn still remained expressionless and didn’t care at all.
“And actually, I was doing it for your own good…” Bessie glanced at her
and continued, “Ophelia not only complained to her family, but also spread rumors to Mr. Cullen. If Mr. Cullen found out that you had trouble with Ophelia, he would definitely blame you.”
Adalynn then changed her expression.
Then she became even angrier, “That bitch Ophelia, did she dare to try to seduce Cullen again?!”
Ophelia guessed correctly; the reason she targeted Ophelia was because of Cullen!
She discovered that Cullen actually liked Ophelia!
Bessie sighed and continued, “Adalynn, you just arrived in Minston and don’t know that Ophelia really knew how to charm people. She managed to make Mr. Cullen care about her a lot.”
“I advised you not to trouble her anymore, otherwise Mr. Cullen would get angry with you and would be even more distressed about her…”
She spoke soothing and persuasive words, but they had no calming effect at all; instead, they even provoked Adalynn’s anger, making her feel even more disgusted and hostile towards Ophelia,
He immediately shouted in anger, “So what if I want to trouble her? Am I supposed to be afraid of her? I absolutely want her to get out of Ventura University and get out of Minston!”
Bessie quietly curled the corners of her lips.
On the surface, however, she appeared to be someone who couldn’t be persuaded and could only offer heartfelt suggestions. She said, “Since that’s the case, Adalynn, you must think of a more appropriate way to make Ophelia leave Ventura University without a word to say. That way, even if she tries to complain to Mr. Cullen, she won’t have any grounds to
do so, and we will be in the right…..”
Adalynn’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly came up with an idea.
***
Ophelia did not know what had happened on Bessie’s side, nor did she
care at all.
She glanced at the time and realized that she had already delayed for twenty minutes. There was a missed call from Winford on her phone, which startled her.
“I left first!”
She only had time to say this to Lenora and the others before she hurried away.
