Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 153 A Domestic Brawl

"Are you reluctant to leave the family?"

"It's not so easy for me to just leave right now, since I have been living in this family for four years. For all these years, Mrs. Chambers has always been treating me as her own daughter, and if she ever sees those pictures, she will definitely feel hurt and be disappointed, which I could never bear to see."

Madeleine, without saying anything, took Ophelia's hand in her clasp. She knew that what Ophelia valued most was the love between families, and that she was exactly the so-called "good-mannered child" in those elders mouths. Also, giving that Mrs. Chambers had long been treating her as her own kid, it would be clear enough for anyone to see the impacts of those pictures exerted on Ophelia.

The anger for Gracie was arouse deep within Madeleine. As a girl from an upper class family, it was ridiculous for Gracie, who had sent people following behind Ophelia and Tassach and taking specious photos of the two, which caused great damage to the bond between Ophelia and Zachariah.

There was an old saying that to destroy a temple was much better than to separate a couple, while it seemed that it didn't win Gracie's recognition. This time, Madeleine swore she must do something to fight back for her friend.

For Ophelia, she tended to try peaceful means to her enemies before resorting to force, while for Madeleine, she chose to act in contravention. Giving that Gracie was such an ignorant and insidious woman, Madeleine was going to teach her a lesson that she shouldn't have ever bullied Ophelia on her family's coat-tails.

"Take it easy, my dear. Mrs. Chambers will understand you, since she is such a loving and moderate lady." Madeleine comforted.

"I hope so."

"Take some rest, and I will wake you up by the noon."

Ophelia obediently closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Looking at her sleeping face, Madeleine could not help but offer a sigh. Four years on, she had never expected that the once optimistic and outgoing little girl would ever become such. She had witnessed how Ophelia gradually became less talkative, and, through her luxurious clothes and thick make-up wore outside, how the increasing melancholy supplanted the vivacity that she once held inside.

Even though she was not rich before, she was still leading a happy life. There were only two men who she'd truly fallen in love with in her life: one, was Tassach, and the other, was Zachariah. While it seemed that none of them were the right ones.

Well, it seemed reasonable to say that she was a woman overwhelmed by adverse fortune.

Then, Madeleine dialed her editor and told her that she was too busy to finish the manuscript in the next few days. On the other end of the phone, the editor burst into rage and shouted angrily non- stop as she heard Madeleine's words. Without any hesitation, Madeleine hung up the phone.

Madeleine put the phone back into her bag and murmured, "It's right to say that one should never irritate a woman when she is in her period. Damn, she was roaring like a beast!"

It seemed that Madeleine had forgotten about the popularity of her novel, for which the readers phoned her publishing company now and again. As both a bestseller and an unpunctual writer, she was lucky enough not to see her editor come around and violently prompted her for manuscript.

As Madeleine was looking after Ophelia in the hospital, conflict and quarrel arose in Chamers Family.

In the living room, Savannah pointed at the photographs on the table and shouted, "Just take a look at these photographs, dad, mom and Zachariah! Just look what has the so-called good wife in your mouth

done: she has been hanging around with another man out there, and that one is exactly Tassach, the young executive of the Conduibh Group! How dare she again and again break the rules and betray my brother! She does not deserve to be Zachariah's wife!"

Mrs. Chambers, looking at those pictures, also looked sullen on her face. She could not believe that Ophelia would ever do such thing, since she had long been considering her as her own daughter.

"Tell me something about it, Zachariah." Turning to Zachariah, Mrs. Chambers said.

Silently, Zachariah looked at the pictures without saying anything.

Savannah continued querulously, "There is nothing more to explain here, mom. It's clear enough to tell from these photographs that Opheliahas an affair out there!"

As her face twisted, Mrs. Chambers growled, "Watch your tongue, Savannah! Ophelia is your sister in- law, and you should show some respect to her!"

In grievance, Savannah said, "Aren't these photographs clear enough to explain everything? Are you just going to wait until you see that bitch literally fucking with other guys, mom?"

Giving a glance to Zachariah, Mrs. Chambers again turned to Ophelia and said, "Shut up! She is your brother's wife, and you're bringing disgrace to Zachariah yelling like that!"

At that moment, Savannah realized that she was being too indiscreet and egocentric. No man would ever wish to be cheated by his wife, let alone her brother Zachariah.

"I'm sorry, Zachariah, and I'm just… I just want you to know the essence of that woman." Apologetically, Savannah said to his brother.

Zachariah pointed at the photographs and asked, "Where did you get all these pictures?"

"I got them from a courier." Answered Savannah. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"They're all faked." Said Zachariah.

Incredibly, Savannah looked at Zachariah and asked in an angry tone, "Are you still going to defend her even though you see these, Zachariah?"

Zachariah stood up, looked at Savannah sharply and said, "I said, they're all faked."
