Chapter 65
The more Ophelia spoke, the colder her expression became.
At that time, although she was young, she had a particularly deep impression because she almost lost her mother during that incident.
At that time, Sophia came from the countryside to visit her daughter. She had originally arranged a hotel for herself, but she shamelessly insisted on. staying at her daughter’s house and ended up causing this kind of trouble!
“You, you are talking nonsense!” Sophia retorted loudly.
But at a glance at her lack of confidence, anyone could tell that what Ophelia said was true!
Suddenly, the onlookers were all stunned.
“This, this is called a life–saving grace?”
The grudge for taking a life was almost there!
Seeing that trying to repay kindness was ineffective, Sophia changed the subject and began to cry again.
“My house was forcibly occupied by someone. Is there no law anymore?”
“They bullied us because we came from the countryside, with no power and no influence! After living in the house for over ten years, someone just had to say a few words, and it became hers!”
The crowd’s gaze fell on Ophelia again, and they began to whisper among themselves.

Not to mention anything else, it was a fact that Ophelia had snatched the house and thrown people out in broad daylight!
This was too much!
Ophelia didn’t bother with the gazes directed at her, she waved her hand and had someone bring her a chair to sit down.
“Since you wanted to talk, I slowly talked with you!”
“The house had been lived in for over ten years, so it belonged to your family? I wasn’t wrong before; you guys, the Herrera family, really had no shame!”
She grabbed a stack of copied documents and coldly threw it at the Herrera family.
“The house was either borrowed from my family for you to live in, or it was your own; you and I both knew the truth!”
“Wasn’t evidence needed? I had plenty, just look!”
She made many copies, and some onlookers picked up one or two sheets, took a glance, and immediately, their expressions towards the Herrera family changed.
Ophelia came prepared today. This “evidence” was carefully prepared by her. She had clearly outlined why her mother bought the house, how the Herrera family had borrowed the house to “temporarily stay,” and why the property deed had changed to Hudson’s name… all of it was written down. clearly!
“Bah, shameless!” someone couldn’t help but curse.
There was a young girl among the onlookers who knew Gianna. She had. originally thought Ophelia was arrogant and felt indignant on Gianna’s behalf, but at that moment, after seeing this, she found it hard to believe.

“Gianna, so this house wasn’t yours? How could your family live here for so many years without moving out?”
Gianna felt a darkness before her eyes, filled with shame, anger, and despair.
This person knew that it meant this news would soon be known by others. as well!
She was done!
How could she still get by in school?!
“No, no, it’s all false! It’s all made up by you!”
The Herrera family panicked and shouted in protest.
But everyone was not a fool; just by looking at Ophelia’s calm demeanor and then at the Herrera family’s guilty expressions, it was clear who was genuine and who was not!
“Ophelia!” Hudson suddenly said with red eyes, “How good has Erin been. to you? She has treated you like her own daughter all these years, and this is how you deal with her family? She must be so heartbroken!”
“Ophelia’s stepmother was good to her…” someone whispered.
“Yes, the Herrera family was a bit excessive, but considering her stepmother’s feelings, she didn’t have to be so ruthless, did she?”
Hudson’s two sentences subtly inclined some of the onlookers towards the Herrera family.
Just because over the years, Erin had been very good at pretending, she had a pretty good reputation outside.
Ophelia was not angry; instead, she smiled and said softly-
“Everyone looked at the evidence I had prepared and realized that someone had tampered with the house before writing Hudson’s name. So the question arose: who was the person that tampered with it?”
She put away her smile and said in a low voice, “Who else could it be besides Erin, who was trusted by my mom at that time, and my current. stepmother?”
She sneered at Hudson, “Erin cared about me. If she hadn’t cared so much, how could she have turned me into that foolish version of myself before?”
“If she hadn’t been so careless, how could she have almost tricked me out of the shares my mom left me!”
“She was really so good to me! I almost had nothing, and I was on the verge of becoming a useless person. I really have to thank her for all of this!”
