Chapter261
As a result, upon hearing Ophelia’s words, they immediately felt a heart attack coming on and looked at Stella in disbelief.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands–was that still called “worthless
little trinkets“?
How incredibly wealthy the Stella family must have been!
Ophelia then said, “Also, you are right that it is very normal for friends to exchange gifts. So let me ask you, over all these years, what have you ever given me? The value of what I have given you adds up to at least several million, if not tens of millions. So, how much have you given me in
return?”
Stella’s expression changed slightly, and she said with humiliation, “I’m not like you. Your family is wealthy, while I come from an orphanage. Do you expect me to buy you things worth hundreds of thousands? Are you trying to drive me to my death?“.
Ophelia sneered, “Oh, coming from an orphanage, and yet the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands I gave you turned out to be ‘worthless things“?”
Others looked at Stella with expressions that were hard to describe.
She came from an orphanage and didn’t take hundreds of thousands. seriously. Who gave her that confidence?
Stella’s face turned pale and then flushed, and just as she was about to speak, Ophelia said again, “Let me rephrase that. Instead of asking how much money you gave me, let me ask how many times you have given me gifts!”
“You sent me a book, a hairpin, or made something by hand within your means; none of these cost much, right? May I ask how many times you. sent them?”
Stella opened her mouth. her face turned red from holding back, but she was at a loss for words.
Ophelia had given her countless gifts, not just during holidays, but also on ordinary days. Whenever she saw something she wanted, she would ask Ophelia for it. However, the gifts she had given to Ophelia could be counted on one hand, and their total value only amounted to a few hundred!
The people around looked at Stella with increasing disdain.
“Oh my gosh, how could there be such a person? It’s so disgusting….
“Such a person was also worthy of entering Ventura University?”
Stella heard it and turned pale.
Ophelia looked at the person on the ground with mockery. “I never treated. you poorly, and what about you? ‘Biting the hand that feeds you‘ doesn’t even begin to describe it. Not only were you ungrateful, but you also stabbed me in the back and plotted to frame me!”
Stella gritted her teeth and said, “I didn’t!”
“Not at all? Are you saying that the so–called butler had nothing to do with you?”
Stella was about to say yes, but she was afraid that Ophelia might have found out something. After all, the “housekeeper” had secretly met with her at school, and if someone saw them, it would provide evidence to Ophelia.
So she said, “The butler is related to me, but I didn’t instruct him! Yes, I
admit that this matter is connected to me; I contacted that lady and mentioned your existence, but so what? You did something so shameless, am I supposed to just watch you destroy a family?”
“Even if you had treated me well in the past, I could not turn a blind eye to it, so I contacted that lady, and she sent someone to the school.”
“Ophelia, you also said that we have so many years of affection; it is precisely because of those many years of affection that I could not bear to see you go down the wrong path!”
