At eight o’clock, Zachariah went to work after breakfast, while Mrs. Chambers and Mr. Chambers
received a call from a friend saying that they were going out fishing for friends gathering, so they
agreed to go as they couldn’t shirk.
Before leaving, Mrs. Chambers was uneasy and instructed, “Savannah, you’re an adult, trying to keep
a good relationship with Ophelia, or I’ll ask your father to arrange a job for you.”
Savannah was very quiet these days and she replied that would follow Mrs. Chambers’ instruction.
Mrs. Chambers nodded and then said to Ophelia, “Ophelia, if you need any help, just call me, if
Savannah disobeys you, tell me, I will teach her a lesson.”
Ophelia smiled and said, “Mom, don’t worry, Just go ahead and have fun with your friends. There are
many maids and Tommy will take good take care of us. Don’t worry about me.”
“That’s good. Just give me a call if you need help.” Mrs. Chambers instructed again uneasily before
leaving.
The two of them, Savannah and Ophelia, were left in the large hall at once.
The smile on Ophelia’s face faded and she did not even look at Savannah as she went upstairs.
As Savannah looked at Ophelia’s back, a flash of hatred and resentment flashed in her mind, but she
quickly hid it again.
In contrast, a sweet smile appeared on her face, then she ran upstairs and put her arm around
Ophelia’s shoulder and said sweetly, “Ophelia, do you want some tea? Let me make you a cup of
scented tea, OK? I learned it when I lived alone outside, and it tastes quite good. Would you like
some?”
Ophelia gave her a complicated look, drew back her hand, and said seriously, “ Savannah, what do you
want to do? I don’t have the time or the inclination to play a game with you.”
Savannah blinked innocently, still smiling.
“Ophelia, I was wrong before, I just want to mend our relationship. Please trust me.” Savannah spread
her hands out, as innocent as she could be.
Ophelia looked at Savannah, she felt that she could not see through the Savannah in front of her, the
Savannah in the past was capricious, but at least one could guess what she was thinking, but now, she
had the illusion that the Savannah in front of her seemed to be full of trick, which made her
extraordinarily strange.
“I’m tired, I want to take a rest. If you’re bored, call your friends to go shopping, or else go back to your
room and watch a movie.” Ophelia said with a cold, impersonal voice.
Savannah’s eyes flashed for a moment, but she still looked at Ophelia with a smile.
“Ophelia, don’t be like this, I want to mend my relationship with you, I also know that I have done too
many wrong things in the past, but as the ancient people said, everyone is not a saint, who can be
without fault, fortunately, I have not committed any irreparable wrongdoings, just give me a chance.”
Ophelia looked at her warily.
“Savannah, what the hell do you want to do? They are not here, so let’s cut to the chase.” Ophelia said.
Savannah just smiled.
“You misunderstand me. I have no other malice. I was just outside for a month and a half, suddenly I
found that I used to be too self-righteous and capriciously to do a lot of things to hurt you. I came back
just to make up for you, to love Tommy, to make up for my previous capricious and presumptuous
behavior. Ophelia, please give me a chance.”
Ophelia listened, feeling sarcastic. She used to hope that Savannah would acknowledge her as her
sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart, but Savannah looked like she didn’t care, and now she only
felt extraordinarily harsh when she heard her calling out sister-in-law in her voice.
“I’m tired and want to go to sleep.” Ophelia made an excuse and left.
Ophelia went straight into the bedroom and didn’t bother to glance at Tommy.
Savannah, who was still trying to smile, was so angry that she hammered the railing and said with a
grimace, “Ophelia, don’t get cocky, one day I will make you beg for it.”
After saying that, Savannah also walked hatefully towards her bedroom on the other side.
Ophelia went into the room and lay directly on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She couldn’t guess what
Savannah wanted to do. A person who hated you so much was becoming unusually nice to you.
As a mother, she was not afraid that Savannah would hurt her, what she feared was that Savannah
was plotting something to harm Tommy.
She was afraid that Savannah could hire someone to hit her again since she was treated when
pregnant at the time. What else could Savannah not do?
In short, Savannah was already a demonic being in her heart, and she would believe anything
Savannah did that was even more insane.
Ophelia was a bit annoyed, and she tried hard to close her eyes and pretended to sleep, but there was
no sleep at all, so she got up from the bed, opened the door, and went to Tommy’s nursery.
As soon as she entered, she saw Savannah laughing in front of Tommy as much as she could.
Ophelia’s heart was shocked completely.
She walked over quickly and blocked in front of Tommy like a mother hen protecting her calf, saying
with a strict voice, “Savannah, what are you going to do to Tommy?”
A flash of displeasure flashed in Savannah’s eyes, but she quickly looked at Ophelia with feigned
aggression and said, “It’s been a month and a half since Tommy was born, I haven’t even had a good
time with him. I just want to play with him, there’s no malice. I know what I did wrong in the past.”
Ophelia also felt that her reaction was not normal, but once bitten by a snake, she was afraid of a well
rope for ten years. That car accident had become an indelible shadow for her whole life, especially
when the culprit was still Savannah. She felt that Savannah always looming in front of her eyes was
simply a constant reminder of that indelible nightmare.
