Everyone's eyes were filled with either disdain or ridicule when they looked at the Hastings family.

Emily was fuming with jealousy, and when she turned around, she noticed Miles' gaze glued to Ophelia. It was the first time she'd ever seen Miles look at someone like that. Miles couldn't take his eyes off Ophelia, now realizing how much more stunning she was compared to Emily. She seemed to shine, completely overshadowing everyone else. Theo's eyes shifted to Owen. "You said the Hastings family has cut ties with Miss Spencer, right?"

Owen felt like swallowing broken glass. They had already publicly announced the severed ties. There was no turning back now. "Yes, Mr. Carnegie, actually..." Before he could finish, Theo interrupted, "Good. Ophelia, come here."

Everyone turned their attention to Theo.

"Ophelia, I feel a connection with you. I have only grandsons, no granddaughters. How about I take you as my god- granddaughter? If you're okay with it, that is." Theo's words dropped like a bombshell. Everyone was stunned. The Hastings family was left speechless.

The guests thought, 'Did we hear that right? The head of the prestigious Carnegie family wanted to take Ophelia as his god- granddaughter? Forget about the Hastings family. Even the Lewis family would have to curry favor with the Carnegies. If Ophelia became part of the Carnegie family, she would instantly rise in status, and no one in Dellanex would dare to mess

Bethany beamed at Theo's words and thought, 'Theo made a great decision.' She immediately grabbed Ophelia's hand, overjoyed. "I've always dreamed of having a daughter. From now on, you're my goddaughter, and I promise to treat you even better than my sons."

Ophelia hadn't fully processed what was happening. She had only come to drop off a birthday gift.

Hastings family. It was a perfect example of instant karma. It had been a long time since anyone had witnessed something so satisfying.
