Chapter 73
The third one was the young lady who had been insisting on jumping off a building. She hadn’t even entered the door of Sunset Vista, so Winford naturally had not seen her.
Hearing this, Ophelia felt both heartbroken and angry.
I felt heartbroken for her husband, who was betrayed by others. I was angry that he was so innocent, yet he was slandered,
with rumors
spreading everywhere!
“I just knew they were talking nonsense; my husband was not that kind of person!”
Hearing this. Winford recalled the banquet at Cullen’s house, where she had heard someone speaking ill of him. The way he fiercely defended him made her lips involuntarily curve into a slight smile, and a hint of warmth colored her dark eyes.
Not far away. Graham said,
Although it was true that the rumors outside were indeed exaggerated, there was still a good seven or eight parts of truth regarding Mr. Winford’s temperament and methods.
Is this what love made people blind?
While they were complaining passionately, Winford’s gaze suddenly swept over.
That gaze was cold and chilling, conveying a few big words-“Why are you still here?”
Graham: ”
I’m sorry, it was he who lacked awareness!
Before going to sleep. Ophelia suddenly thought of something and took out her phone to check her bank information.
Then she discovered that at eight o’clock in the evening, the Herrera family had sent her eighty million.
Hmph, wasn’t it possible to pay it back?
Thinking about the possible expressions on the Herrera family’s faces now, Ophelia felt happy.
A phone call suddenly came in–it was Samuel.
She probably guessed what Samuel wanted to do, but she still answered.
“Did your uncle’s family pay you back the eighty million?” Samuel said straightforwardly, “The company at home needed money then, so you should transfer the money over!”
It was a tone that left no room for discussion, a commanding manner that seemed entirely taken for granted.
Ophelia’s gaze was slightly cold and somewhat mocking.
“The family business? What does that have to do with me?”
Speaking of this, one had to mention a certain event.
When her mother was still around, the Greene family thrived, and the Greene Group was undoubtedly the leading enterprise in Minston.
In the period leading up to her mother’s accident, she may have sensed something and decisively split the company in two, giving half to her

husband Samuel and the other half to her and her grandfather’s family – the one from whom Erin had deceived to obtain shares.
In the will that she had written in advance, her mother had clearly stated that the half of the company belonging to her husband would have at least 40% of the shares allocated to her daughter, and that Samuel was only temporarily holding them..
Samuel felt frustrated but did not dare to say anything, because in the entire Greene Group, he had not contributed much; it was almost entirely his wife who had worked hard to build it.
It was only after Harriet died that everything changed!
At least until now, the shares that Ophelia had in her hands were only those that her grandfather’s family had once kept for her–those very shares that had almost been tricked away by Erin!
As for Samuel, the 40% that should have been given to her, she hadn’t seen a bit of it until now!
On the contrary, when the Bessie sisters came of age one after another, each received 20%!
At that time, she wasn’t without resentment, but what did Samuel say?
“You already had so much in your hands, so why were you still competing with your two sisters?”
“What did it mean to compete?!”
Those things were originally left by her mother! They had nothing to do with Erin’s daughter! Why should they be given to them?!
At that time, she did not understand why Samuel was so biased towards those two sisters, until later she found out that he had been involved with Erin for a long time and that the Bessie sisters might be his illegitimate
daughters. After that, she understood perfectly well why!
It was even more ridiculous then; the company was short on money, and they suddenly remembered her!
Using her money to support Bessic and her sister’s company? What a daydream that was!
Hearing her response, Samuel got angry. “What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? That’s the family business! It was left by your mother!”
“Ha.” Ophelia scoffed, “You knew it was left by my mother? Then how could you have the nerve to give the shares to two outsiders? Instead, I, her biological daughter, got nothing! Could it be that those two are actually your real daughters?”
A few questions left Samuel momentarily speechless, followed by a surge of rage that was triggered by the piercing point of his vulnerability.
