Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 166

Chapter 166

Twenty minutes later, an elderly woman, clad in a white embroidered winter evening gown, sat in the La Reverie studio's lounge with an air of elegance and grace. A mink fur shawl was draped over her shoulders, and she sat with her back as straight as a rod. Her hair, though streaked with gray, was carefully arranged at the back of her head, radiating a tranquil aura that seemed to soothe everything around her.

She gracefully took a sip of coffee from the cup on the table, her movements refined and cultured.

When Ophelia pushed the door open, she was momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, she felt like crying.

For a split second, Ophelia thought she saw her grandma.

The silhouette of this elderly lady's profile was strikingly similar to Ophelia's grandmother's.

Her graceful demeanor was strikingly similar to Ophelia's grandmother's, too.

"Ms. Spencer, do you remember me?" The elderly lady's voice was light, and as she saw Ophelia, she slowly stood up with a kind smile. Ophelia said, "Ms. Tyrus, of course I remember you."

The elderly lady was Enzo Tyrus, a professor of Design at Dellanex University.

She had judged a design competition Ophelia had participated in before, and they had also met once at Theo's birthday banquet.

Ophelia hadn't expected that Enzo would come looking for her.

Nor could Ophelia guess why Enzo came to find her.

Enzo approached and took Ophelia's hand, gently rubbing the back of it, and said, "You need to stay warm during your period, especially in winter."

"How did you know?" Ophelia asked in surprise.

Enzo said, "Older folks can tell at a glance. You should take good care of yourself. Though, I must say, you look much better than before. Just make sure to keep it up." Enzo's wrinkled yet delicately elegant hands gently patted Ophelia's.

This gesture made Ophelia's eyes well up, bringing back memories of her grandmother.

"Professor Tyrus, what brings you here today?" Ophelia asked and slightly adjusted her posture, sitting across from Enzo with a rare sense of ease and warmth usually reserved for strangers. "Actually, I have a favor to ask," Enzo said, her speech gentle and unhurried, echoing the polished cadence of her time.

She explained, "After retiring, I was rehired to teach at Dellanex University. Now, approaching eighty, my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be, and teaching has become quite tough for me.

"The university asked me to find a fitting successor. After giving it much thought, I realized no one seemed right until I saw you. I couldn't think of anyone better. So, I wanted to ask if you'd be interested in taking my place at Dellanex University."
