Things got tense at the dinner table. Before long, Savannah put down the chopsticks and said, "Dad, mom, Iâm done eating. Iâm going back to my room now."
"Wait!" Helena called, pointing at the rest half of rice in Savannahâs 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 donât feel like eating now."
Ophelia got up before Helena could say anything. "Savannah, stay and finish the dinner. Iâm 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 didnât want to accept Opheliaâs goodwill. "Ophelia Lowe, stop acting like a saint. The whole mansion is defiled because of your presence. Iâm out for a walk."
After that, Savannah left.
Ophelia stayed put, her look hard to read.
Helena dropped the chopsticks, angry. She held Opheliaâs arm and said, "Ophelia, Savannah is still an ignorant child. Donât take what she said to heart."
Ophelia came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Helena, itâs alright. Iâve had too much and I want to take a walk outside. Iâll be back soon."
"Iâm going with you."
"Donât bother, Helena. I can go alone. Iâll 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 doesnât act like a lady."
Steffan played the role of a peacemaker. "Alright, donât get mad. This isnât the first day Savannah dislikes Ophelia. Just ask Ophelia not to come back so often in the future in case they fight, and you wonât like it when you find yourself caught in between."
Now Helena got really upset. "What are you talking about? Ophelia is Zachariahâs 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, youâre overthinking. I just donât want to see you fall out with your daughter over an outsider. You donât want Savannah to hate you, do you?"
Helena said no more.
"Letâs 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, itâs totally understandable that she doesnât 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 didnât conceal the disgust in her eyes at all. She strode towards Ophelia and snapped, "Ophelia Lowe, arenât you awesome? Not only have you seduced my brother, but you also have my mom eat out of your hand. Youâre quite satisfied with what youâve done, arenât you?"
Ophelia stared at Savannah calmly and replied, "Savannah, Iâve always treated you as my family. I donât know why you hate me so much, but Iâve 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, "Iâm not threatening you. I just want to get along with you peacefully. Helena is really kind to me, and I donât want to put her in an awkward situation, so I hope you wonât turn up your nose at me on every occasion."

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Savannah rolled her eyes and asked, "What if I do?"
"Iâve checked. Thereâre cameras everywhere in the Chambers Mansion, but thereâs none around the lake. If I fell into the lake right now, and told people youâre the one who pushed me into the lake after Iâm helped ashore, would they believe me or you?"
Savannah curled her lips in disdain and said, "Ophelia, itâs such a small trick, and you arenât 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, theyâd take care of it in every way possible."
Having said that, Savannah stared at Ophelia provocatively.
Astonished, Ophelia didnât expect Savannah to be so reckless that she would actually come up with the idea of murder.
