Seeing the change in Heather's expression, Ophelia remained emotionless. "And what about you

around, begging people to save a heartless man. Is it worth it?"

Ophelia's words hit Heather, where it hurt the most.

You're still running

Ophelia added. "I heard Owen had a brain hemorrhage, right? Even if he survives, he could be paralyzed, and you'd be stuck taking care of him. Are you willing to drag yourself down with a man like that? You don't believe Owen will rise from the ashes, do you?" Ophelia laughed as she placed the thick envelope in front of Heather.

"But.. but Nathan, he's still in the police station. We owe over 50 thousand dollars in compensation, Heather said. She thought, I can leave my husband to fend for himself, but what about my son?

Ophelia said, "Oh, so you want to use this money to bail him out so he can cause more trouble for you? Fine by me. After all, you've spent your whole life living for others. It's your money. Use it as you like. After today, we're strangers."

"Don't say that. Elia. We're still mother and daughter. You have to help me think of something. Heather sat there, surprisingly not reaching for the money right away. Instead, she looked at Ophelia with pleading eyes.

Ever since everything fell apart, Heather had lost all direction. She used to rely on Owen for everything, but after what he did to her, she couldn't just let it go.

Ophelia said. "You're giving me too much credit. How exactly am I supposed to help? You're Owen's legal wife. Everything he bought for that mistress was with your joint assets. You have every right to take it all back. But I'm just an outsider. I can't do that for you Ophelia smiled slightly. Her face, already pure and harmless, seemed even more gentle, without a trace of malice. She turned and headed upstairs, not immediately telling Lisa to see Heather out but giving Heather time to think.

Lisa poured Heather a glass of water and sighed regretfully, "If it were me, not only would I refuse to save such a man, but I'd also take back everything he ever gave that mistress. You can't just raise someone else's kids for all these years for nothing. right? "Once you get the house and the car back, you should enjoy the rest of your life. Wouldn't that be so much better? At the end of the day, you've got to look out for yourself."
