Chapter267
“Didn’t you dare to bring it over? If you brought it over, wouldn’t it have exposed the truth?”
The young ladies also realized what was happening and stepped forward. looking at Ophelia with disdain.
“Ophelia. I heard that you were being kept by a married older man. Is it true?”
“Just now, a few of your classmates said that was your husband. Did you tell them that? Publicly claiming that the financial backer is your husband–oh my, that’s hilarious! Did you know that the legitimate wife would find out about this?”
Ophelia hadn’t had the chance to talk to Lenora and the others when she was interrupted. She looked up unexpectedly and saw a group of people in front of her, their excited and impatient expressions filled with malice. She let out a cold scoff and said without mercy-
“What were you, that you had the right to shout here?”
“You!” A group of people immediately turned pale.
However, under Ophelia’s cold gaze, they suddenly became clear–headed. To be honest, their family backgrounds were simply not comparable to the Greene family; just now, they had dared to mock Ophelia only because they were relying on Adalynn’s influence.
If Ophelia had come to their house to settle accounts, Adalynn couldn’t have managed it, after all, the Estrada family’s influence was not in Minston!

At that moment, I could only unwillingly close my mouth.
Adalynn sneered and stood out with an air of arrogance. “They have no right to speak, so what about me? Ophelia, didn’t you say you were going to bring your ‘boyfriend‘ over? Where is he?”
Ophelia remained unfazed and said, “Isn’t the banquet not started yet? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Ha, according to what you said, once the banquet started, people would come?” Adalynn said with a mocking tone. She didn’t believe Ophelia’s words at all and suspected that Ophelia was just stalling for time!
When the time came, Ophelia might have found some reason to sneak away!
She would never let Ophelia’s scheme succeed.
“Come in!” With a cold snort, Adalynn ordered, “Bring me a timer. I want to see if Ms. Greene’s ‘boyfriend‘ would show up when the party started!”
Stella’s eyes lit up, and she immediately took the initiative to accept the task.
Soon, she took a huge timer and placed it in the very center of the hall, striving to make sure that everyone could see it.
At that moment, there were only ten minutes left until the banquet started!
Adalynn, in order to prevent Ophelia from escaping, secretly ordered someone to keep a close watch on Ophelia.
However, Ophelia had no intention of running away at all; she even moved closer and sat down calmly beside.
Lenora leaned closer and whispered, “Cousin, when did cousin–in–law come?”

She was a bit confused about why the two of them hadn’t been together.
“I don’t know,” Ophelia took a light sip of champagne, her demeanor calm and carefree, and honestly said, “He didn’t agree to it.”
“-What?!” Lenora’s face changed instantly in shock.
Next to them, Lucy and Hannah were sitting close together, both wide- eyed in shock as they looked at Ophelia.
The big shot didn’t agree to come to the banquet?! Then Ophelia was doomed today, wasn’t she?!
“Don’t worry, there are still ten minutes left, just wait a little longer.” Ophelia said calmly, unaffected by the surrounding chaos.
That day, she acted both coquettishly and pitifully in front of Winford, but in the end, she still didn’t get a definite answer.
