Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 90

Ophelia truly hadn’t expected Elspeth to be so capable to dig up so many clues. She trembled in fear, and her legs were barely supporting her as she almost fell to her knees.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Weren’t you debating with me with such eloquence just now? Why are you so quiet now?”

Elspeth smiled as she saw how shaken Ophelia was. She knew right then that the information she dug up was

bona fide evidence.

“I didn’t! These are all fake; you faked them!”

At this moment, Ophelia could no longer keep her calm. She couldn’t help the trembling in her voice, and as she looked at Elspeth’s confident expression, she felt like the world was spinning.

Elspeth continued asking. “Then, explain to me how these things can be faked. If you don’t believe the photos, you can get the videos tested to see if they’re authentic or not.”

Callum stood at the side. When he looked at the evidence tossed onto the table, he was genuinely shocked.

He had never thought that Ophelia would be the person who harmed Margot. Ophelia was the little girl who had grown up with him in the Winthrop Family, and she would cry when she accidentally stepped on an ant. He couldn’t believe that she would hurt her own family.

“You have to explain yourself, Ophelia.”

He was still willing to give Ophelia a chance to deny these things.

“I… Callum, you know me. Mrs. Winthrop is so nice to me, so why would I harm her?”

Callum took a deep breath. “After all this, how can I trust you?”
