Chapter 77 Strange Tears

“Callum…”

Ophelia’s eyes swam with tears at his words as if a part of her had been broken.

“Callum, even if you don’t like me, I still want you to know how I feel about you. But you can’t keep hurting me with Elspeth. It’s unfair!”

“Ophelia, you should know by now that you’re only a sister to me. Stop bothering me.”

Callum’s cold-hearted rejection was the fatal blow to Ophelia. Unable to hold on any longer, she turned around and ran away with tears flowing down her cheeks.

At the tragic sight, Margot spat maliciously, “Elspeth, you’re the one who did this to our family. You may be resorting to any means to become the lady of the Winthrop Family, but I won’t let you get away with it!”

“You’re overthinking it,” Elspeth replied indifferently. “I’m not interested in being the lady of the Winthrop Family.”

Hearing that, he added quickly, “You have to. It doesn’t matter whether you’re interested or not.”

Elspeth turned speechless.

“You two are really going to be the death of me!” Margot’s chest heaved with anger as she raised a hand and roared at Elspeth, “You’re just like that homewrecking mother of yours. Clearly, her apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree—her daughter is just as shameless as her. You’ve really taken after your mother!”

At her words, Elspeth was taken aback. “You know who my mom is?”

“Why wouldn’t I? Your mother was someone who stole the hearts of countless men and even played Theodore like a fiddle. How could I not know her?”

Her words were biting and sarcastic as if suggesting that Elspeth’s mother was promiscuous enough to seduce a married man.

“Mrs. Winthrop, please watch your mouth. It’s one thing to insult me, but don’t bring my mother into this.”
