Chapter 1479 Send the Montclairs Behind Bars Too
Standing downstairs was Wynter in a suit. She exuded both masculine and feminine energy. Though clearly a young woman, she exuded a cold, mischievous energy.
Her eyes were very dark, and when she looked at people, it didn't seem like she was looking at a living being.
This Tamia's first time being this close to Wynter. She took a step back instinctively, as if she had just encountered a harbinger of misfortune.
Wynter approached with perfect manners. She seemed almost as if she were a respectful youngster greeting her elders if it weren't for the dagger she was holding.
She raised an eyebrow casually and said to Ophelia, 'I remember everything you said to my mother."
Then, turning her gaze to Tamia, she added, "It seems Mrs. Montclair Senior isn't aware of the recent happenings in Hawford. But don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. Since you've come today, it saves me a trip to the Montclair residence.'
From the moment Wynter appeared, Tamia hadn't taken her eyes off her face. She could tell Wynter wasn't one to be easily dealt with.
With a cold smirk, she said, 'From now on, the Montclair and Whitman families have nothing to do with each other. There's no need to go back and forth. That's all I have to say. Ophelia, we're leaving."
At this moment, Ophelia's greatest resentment was directed at Wynter. She had tried to convince herself that this child was Noah's niece, and she shouldn't show her displeasure. That was why her tone was especially affectionate every time she called her.
But from the moment Wynter was born, she had stolen all the attention that should have belonged to Cyrus. Now that she was in Hawford, she was stealing again. The hatred buried since long ago had finally erupted.
"Your father got your horoscope right-you really are a curse. Just like him, you bring misfortune to everyone around you!' Ophelia's eyes were filled with envy as she walked past Wynter.
She continued, "Your mother was sick because of you, and I've heard that you're the one who sent your father to prison.
"It was no wonder the Quinnell and the Whitman families have both fallen to such a miserable state! After all, they have a granddaughter like you!"
Reuben had kept his composure throughout the argument. But the moment Ophelia said this, a flash of anger crossed his face, and he was about to step forward.
But Wynter stopped him. She knew that Reuben's health couldn't handle stress, let alone a confrontation. She turned to Ophelia and suddenly chuckled. "Since you've heard that I sent my father to prison, you should be more careful.
"After all, my father will not be the only one I send in. The same goes for you. I can send the Montclairs behind bars, too."
Ophelia wasn't going to take Wynter's words seriously. She wondered who Wynter thought she was. Did she really think she could just send anyone to prison in Hawford? The Montclairs' connections in Hawford were far beyond what Wynter could even imagine.
Tamia merely gave Wynter a cold glance. Things had escalated with the Whitman family to an extent she hadn't foreseen.
Her original intention was merely to exert some control over the Whitman family. But now that it had come to this, she would definitely use all their connections as needed!
Ophelia's only thought now was to see Wynter in adversities and to witness the Whitman family's regret.
Noah might have agreed to the divorce, but when the time came, she would make him beg for her forgiveness in front of everyone!
With a mother like Tamia, no matter how virtuous Ophelia had pretended to be in the past, the traits ingrained in her true nature were not going to change.
Her initial excuse of using Cyrus as a cover to justify her actions had long since dissolved. Ophelia constantly claimed that her efforts with the land deal were all for Cyrus. But in reality, it was all about herself.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
By securing this success, she could hold her head high within the Montclair family, and others would finally respect her.
