Things got tense at the dinner table. Before long, Savannah put down the chopsticks and said, "Dad,
mom, I’m done eating. I’m going back to my room now."
"Wait!" Helena called, pointing at the rest half of rice in Savannah’s bowl and said, "Savannah, finish
this off and you may go upstairs."
Savannah turned around and said, "Mom, I just had a lot of snacks in my room, and I don’t feel like
eating now."
Ophelia got up before Helena could say anything. "Savannah, stay and finish the dinner. I’m full. I want
to go for a stroll outside, and that helps me digest the food, while you can have a chat with your
parents."
Apparently, Savannah didn’t want to accept Ophelia’s goodwill. "Ophelia Lowe, stop acting like a saint.
The whole mansion is defiled because of your presence. I’m out for a walk."
After that, Savannah left.
Ophelia stayed put, her look hard to read.
Helena dropped the chopsticks, angry. She held Ophelia’s arm and said, "Ophelia, Savannah is still an
ignorant child. Don’t take what she said to heart."
Ophelia came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Helena, it’s alright. I’ve had too much and I
want to take a walk outside. I’ll be back soon."
"I’m going with you."
"Don’t bother, Helena. I can go alone. I’ll be back in half an hour," said Ophelia.
Since she insisted, Helena could only let her go.
When Ophelia left, Helena sighed with a sullen face, "Did you just see how Savannah behaved? She
has no respect for others at all. She doesn’t act like a lady."
Steffan played the role of a peacemaker. "Alright, don’t get mad. This isn’t the first day Savannah
dislikes Ophelia. Just ask Ophelia not to come back so often in the future in case they fight, and you
won’t like it when you find yourself caught in between."
Now Helena got really upset. "What are you talking about? Ophelia is Zachariah’s wife, and this
mansion will belong to her in the future. What do you mean by asking her 'not to come back so often'?
You guys are busy with work, while all I can do is have afternoon tea and shop. Among so many
people, Ophelia is the only one I can get on with. Do you want to drive me away by not asking her to
come back?"
Steffan gave a wry smile. "Helena, you’re overthinking. I just don’t want to see you fall out with your
daughter over an outsider. You don’t want Savannah to hate you, do you?"
Helena said no more.
"Let’s eat. Let the kids deal with their own stuff."
Helena picked up the chopsticks again and began to eat. Steffan put the food in her bowl and said,
"When Savannah comes back, you two have a good talk with each other, and everything will be fine.
Savannah is a spoilt child. Now that you put your attention on someone else, it’s totally understandable
that she doesn’t like Ophelia."
Helena nodded.
When Ophelia got out of the mansion, she walked to an artificial lake built by the Chambers family
unconsciously, only to see a tall figure nearby. It was exactly Savannah.
Stunned, Ophelia planned to turn around and go back, but at this moment, Savannah happened to turn
around. The two met face to face.
"Now a war is about to break out."
Ophelia thought to herself.
Savannah didn’t conceal the disgust in her eyes at all. She strode towards Ophelia and snapped,
"Ophelia Lowe, aren’t you awesome? Not only have you seduced my brother, but you also have my
mom eat out of your hand. You’re quite satisfied with what you’ve done, aren’t you?"
Ophelia stared at Savannah calmly and replied, "Savannah, I’ve always treated you as my family. I
don’t know why you hate me so much, but I’ve really tried to get closer to you. I hope you can believe
me for once."
Savannah gave a snort and crossed her arms, saying arrogantly, "Ophelia Lowe, do you know what I
hate the most? A gold digger pretending to be an innocent angel. You disgust me."
Ophelia walked up to the lake, turned around and said, "Savannah, if I really want to deal with you, I
have a million ways to make Helena hate you. Do you believe it?"
Savannah snorted. "Are you threatening me?"
Ophelia shook her head and replied, "I’m not threatening you. I just want to get along with you
peacefully. Helena is really kind to me, and I don’t want to put her in an awkward situation, so I hope
you won’t turn up your nose at me on every occasion."
Savannah rolled her eyes and asked, "What if I do?"
"I’ve checked. There’re cameras everywhere in the Chambers Mansion, but there’s none around the
lake. If I fell into the lake right now, and told people you’re the one who pushed me into the lake after
I’m helped ashore, would they believe me or you?"
Savannah curled her lips in disdain and said, "Ophelia, it’s such a small trick, and you aren’t three
years old anymore. So you want to fall into the lake, right? Let me fulfill your wish and push you into the
lake. As long as you drowned, even if dad and mom knew I was the murderer, they’d take care of it in
every way possible."
Having said that, Savannah stared at Ophelia provocatively.
Astonished, Ophelia didn’t expect Savannah to be so reckless that she would actually come up with the
idea of murder.
Savannah rolled her eyes and asked, "What if | do?"
