Chapter 123

Rex took a deep breath, and his charming eyes immediately drooped. He looked so pitiful, like a little animal that had been abandoned

Whenever Ophelia saw Rex like this, she felt she shouldn't be so hard on him. "I believe if you put your heart into it, you'll pick things up quickly," she said, offering praise to keep his spirits up.

"Hmm?" Rex perked up right away, standing beside Ophelia as af showing off to the others, "See? Im the favored one."

Everyone in the room was curious about Ophelia. Anyone who had caught the eye of the Carnegie family had to be special.. and the guests were all eager to cozy up to her.

"Elia, do you remember me? I'm Max's mother. We've met before. I liked you the moment I saw you. I just knew you were blessed with good fortune" Aubrey gushed, grabbing Ophelia's hand with a wide smile.

Ophelia pulled her hand back, her lightly made-up face showing only a polite and distant smile. She never forgot the scene when Aubrey and Heather humiliated her when she was first brought to the Hastings family. Ophelia said, "How could I forget, Mrs. Lewis? The first time you met me, you told me not to cling to your son and said I was a jinx. You even made it clear that as long as you were alive, you'd never let your son be with me." "W-what? Did I say that? You must be mistaken, Aubrey stammered, her stile twitching awkwardly.

"Oh, well, it's all in the past now," Ophelia said casually.

Aubrey sighed in relief at Ophelia's words, thinking she could ease back into the conversation. But then Ophelia spoke again, her voice light yet pointed. "Well, Max's married now, isn't he? I'm sure you're very pleased with his wife."

Though Ophelia's words seemed innocent, anyone noticing knew it was a jab at the Lewis family's recent scandalous wedding.

With that, Ophelia turned and walked away, not bothering to glance back at Aubrey's face, which had gone through several shades of embarrassment.

Ophelia found a seat and settled down.
