Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Ophelia had talked to Tommy for a long time before she asked the nanny to take care of him. Then the

group of people walked out of the baby’s room.

Helena said, "Ophelia, Steffan and Zachariah’s business friends will arrive soon. Since you haven’t fully

recovered yet, just have a rest in your room."

Ophelia nodded and replied, "Thank you, Helena."

"Don’t thank me. Tommy is my grandson, and I’ll give him the best thing I have. All you need to do now

is get well, and you don’t have to worry about anything else."

Ophelia listened to her obediently. It was when Helena finished speaking that Ophelia asked, "Why isn’t

she here?"

Ophelia was referring to Savannah.

Helena paused for a moment and explained, "You know her… She doesn’t like big parties like this. It’s

good that she has gone away, so that she won’t say something embarrassing on such an important

occasion. I don’t want her to make you angry, considering you aren’t well yet."

Warmth welled up inside Ophelia. Helena was truly kind to Ophelia, and naturally, Ophelia didn’t want

Helena and Savannah to drift apart because of her. One always had to make compromises to keep

relationships going.

Therefore, Ophelia was willing to make a compromise for the sake of Helena’s kindness to her. She

would put up with Savannah’s occasional ridicule. Even if her feelings were hurt a bit, she could stand

it.

"Come on, Helena. Savannah is my sister-in-law anyway. It’s true that she says some harsh words to

me sometimes, but I won’t take it to heart. She just talks, but never does anything bad to me. It’s

Tommy’s one-month-old celebration party today, and the guests might think she is rude if she doesn’t

show up. After all, she’s Tommy’s aunt," said Ophelia.

Helena patted her on the back of her hand and said, "Just leave her alone. She’s an adult now and

she’s got her way of thinking. She deserves a lesson if she does something wrong, so that she will

understand her family won’t clear up her mess every time, even if her family is wealthy."

Ophelia cast a confused look at Helena, feeling that there was more to what she said.

Helena smiled and changed the subject. "Don’t think too much. Tommy is the center of attention today,

and no one will find that Savannah’s not here."

Now that Helena said that, Ophelia could only stop here.

Many people came to Tommy’s one-month-old celebration party today. Among these people, there

were business tycoons and government officials and their wives. The attendees were either wealthy or

powerful, and they all came from the business world or official circles. One could easily tell that how

powerful the Chambers family was by having a glance at the guest list.

The celebration party was so lively. Madeleine, who had dressed up, also showed up in front of

Ophelia.

"Well well, I’ve only seen these people in political news before. Who knew I’d see them all here?"

Madeleine clicked her tongue.

Ophelia said with a faint smile, "This is also the first time for me to see these people in person. It’s been

almost five years since I married into the Chambers family, but I’ve hardly attended such a big party

with Zachariah."

"They talk about nothing but business and politics, and it’s good for you to not have attended such

parties that often. I’m glad you haven’t been corrupted by them," Madeleine curled her lips and said.

Ophelia smirked, saying nothing.

Madeleine took a glass of wine and said, "Honey, let’s get there and sit for a while. Helena didn’t ask

you to entertain the guests since you aren’t well yet. Let’s have some food there."

Ophelia nodded.

The two of them sat down on the couch, where there were few people around. Meanwhile, Madeleine

was holding a plate filled with all kinds of snacks.

"Honey, have this one." Madeleine passed a piece of green pastry to Ophelia.

Ophelia shook her head and replied, "Before the party started, I had some congee and I’m still full. If

you are hungry, I’ll ask the cook to prepare some food for you."

"I had a lot when I arrived. But there’s so much delicious food at the party, and I can’t help it."

Madeleine stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth as she spoke, and her mouth was full of food

now.

Ophelia shook her head and chuckled. She handed a drink to Madeleine and said, "Eat slowly, or you’d

choke."

Her mouth full, Madeleine chewed and glugged down the whole glass of drink.

Ophelia was being considerate. She took a napkin and wiped Madeleine’s mouth, taunting, "What’s

wrong with you today, Madeleine? You dress like a lady, yet you eat like a horse. People would think

you’re mistreated by the Chambers family."

Madeleine took another gulp of the drink to wash down the pastries in her mouth, shook her hand and

explained, "Honey, you have no idea how desperate Nova has been recently. She’s all over me and

calls me five times a day. She calls me more regularly than I have my meals! She even threatens me,

saying that she would sleep out of my door if I don’t give the draft to her. During the last month, I visited

you in hospital in the morning, and when I came back I began to write. In order to attend Tommy’s party

today, I wrote till 4 am this morning! Five hours later, I was woken up by her call again. I was pissed

and almost lost it. I’ve got dark circles under my eyes in a few days. I’ve also lost a few pounds too. I’m

basically living in hell."

Ophelia felt sorry to hear that. "Why don’t you tell Miss Barrett about it? Making money is important, but

they’ve gone too far. Or, shall I ask Zachariah to do you a favor? He has a friend who runs a publishing

house."

Madeleine shook her hand and replied, "Don’t take it seriously, honey. I’m just saying. Nova and I have

had a pleasant cooperation. Yes, she is quite pushy while working, but she’s actually very

understanding at ordinary times. If I sign with another publishing house, I have to get used to another

editor again. I don’t want any more trouble, so just forget it."

Just as Ophelia wanted to say something, she saw Zachariah walking towards her.

Madeleine also saw him. She nudged Ophelia and said, "Honey, you know I’m not completely happy

with Zachariah, but I have to admit he looks quite handsome today. He’s in a white suit while you’re in a

white dress. You two look like Barbie and Ken. A handsome man and a beautiful lady… You two make

a perfect couple!"
