Chapter291
Seeing that he appeared calm and collected, but indeed did not show any signs of being unhappy. Ophelia finally relaxed her mind.
At the school gate, Cullen seemed to have just returned from the brink of death. As he watched the car finally disappear from sight, his legs went. weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground!
Fortunately, Mr. Winford seemed not to have heard anything and let him go just like that….
He fled in a panic as if he had been granted a pardon.
Not noticing that Bessie was standing in the corner not far away!
Bessie had a pale face, and her nails dug deeply into her palm.
Cullen said everything, and she heard it all word for word…
She seduced Cullen to steal Ophelia’s man and to gain power for the Pruitt family, that was true, but to say that she had no feelings for him at all, how could that be possible?!
But Cullen’s words hit her like a slap, striking her face hard!
Someone noticed Bessie over here.
“Tsk tsk, how could some people still dare to come to school?”
“Ilere to drop out, huh? You swore in front of everyone before that if you had anything to do with Cullen, you would voluntarily leave Ventura University.”
“Ila, back then she spoke so righteously that I really thought she was innocent. I didn’t expect that not only was she not innocent, but she also actively seduced others. How shameless!”
“No matter how hard she tried to seduce him, what was the use? Did you all hear that just now? She put in so much effort to flirt, yet the scumbag still liked Senior Ophelia. It’s really laughable!”
“By the way, according to the oath she had made herself, did she still have to kneel and reflect in front of the whole school?”
Bessie’s face flushed red and pale, her skin felt hot. She glared fiercely at the people who were gossiping, then turned and awkwardly fled the
scene!
Evening.
Ophelia leaned against the headboard, holding a medical book in her hands, and as she read, she fell asleep.
After finishing his official business, Winford stepped forward and took the book from her hands.
Noticing the sound, Ophelia gently furrowed her brows and mumbled. something, but soon she detected a familiar scent. Her expression relaxed. and she affectionately nuzzled against his hand before peacefully drifting back into sleep.
Seeing her reaction, Winford’s gaze deepened, and his expression softened for a moment.
He carefully laid her down flat, covered her with a blanket, leaned down, and gently placed a kiss on her smooth forehead, then got up and left the
room.
Graham had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw the man
come out, he respectfully lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, “Mr. Winford.”
In Winford’s deep–set brows, the tenderness that had just been there faded away, replaced by a terrifying depth of ruthlessness.
He said what?
He spoke in a cold voice and asked about the situation at the school gate. Although he did not take it to heart at the time, it did not mean that he did not care or inquire about it.
Graham had already found out the truth. With his head slightly lowered, he recounted Cullen’s actions and words at that time without missing a single detail.
By the time he finished speaking, the atmosphere around Winford had grown so cold that it sent a chill to the depths of his heart.
“Mr. Winford…”
