Chapter266
Only a small number of people had attended the Cullen family’s banquet, had seen that man with their own eyes, and knew what he looked like and how untouchable he was.
Naturally, it was known that Ophelia had married that remarkable man.
However, Winford, out of concern for his young wife, was reluctant to let the news spread too widely, so most of those who were not qualified were completely unaware of the details.
Today, at Adalynn’s banquet, the guests invited almost included all the socialites and heiresses of Minston, but in the end, only two–thirds of them attended the feast.
The remaining one–third who did not come, unfortunately, were precisely those who knew about Ophelia and Winford’s relationship.
At the same time, because they came from better families and were well- informed, they also knew that Adalynn and Cullen had gotten engaged.
They all knew very well that Cullen had long been disliked by Mr. Winford!
At that time, who would still be willing to get close to the Pruitt family? Wasn’t that going against Mr. Winford?
Cullen’s fiancee held a banquet, and who else would come if not those who were clever and perceptive? It wasn’t as if they were tired of living!
At that moment, the wealthy young ladies, who were completely unaware of the situation, spoke with disdain and contempt, maliciously belittling Ophelia
Chapter256
Especially when he saw Adalynn wearing a contented smile, it was clear that she was happy to hear this. To please her, he immediately spoke with even more enthusiasm.
Invited Lucy and Lenora had already arrived. Upon hearing this not far away, they were instantly filled with anger and immediately stepped forward to refute it.
“Nonsense! That gentleman was clearly Ophelia’s husband who had received the marriage certificate!”
This remark left all the young ladies momentarily stunned, and once they reacted, they burst into exaggerated laughter.
“Oh my gosh, before he was just referred to as her boyfriend, and now he has actually become her legally registered husband? Ophelia really didn’t care about her image at all!”
“That was hilarious. She had become a man’s mistress, relying on serving men to make a living. What more face could she want?”
“Ophelia was quite good at daydreaming!”
“Did Adalynn just say that she sent an invitation to that lady of the house, and that the other party might come? I was really looking forward to her meeting with Ophelia! What do you think would happen to Ophelia at that time?”
Lucy was so angry that her face turned red. Just as she was about to say something again, someone shouted-
“Ophelia came!”
The exclamation interrupted the young ladies‘ reckless belittling.
Everyone instinctively glanced towards the door.

A slender and graceful figure walked towards me against the light, taking elegant and leisurely steps.
She did not dress extravagantly; her dress and makeup were quite casual, yet she seemed to radiate a dazzling glow that effortlessly overshadowed. the carefully adorned elegance of the other young ladies.
“Ophelia!!”
Lucy and Lenora immediately found their backbone, their eyes. brightening as they quickly ran to Ophelia’s side.
The young ladies looked at the radiant Ophelia, and after a moment of stunned silence, jealousy immediately filled their eyes.
Stella certainly was, but soon she realized-
Ophelia was a person!
She guessed it right; Ophelia didn’t dare to bring her benefactor along at all!
She immediately stepped forward and said loudly, “Ophelia, where is your ‘boyfriend“? Didn’t you say you would bring him to prove to us that he is not your sugar daddy? Why don’t we see him?”
