"Now that youâve married into the Chambers family, you have plenty of money too, but once you ask, Iâll still give you whatever you want. Please understand me as a mother. Youâre going to give birth in a few months, and you should understand how much a mother loves her son."
"Mrs. Conduibh, I understand that as a mother, you love your son, but Tassach and I are just good friends. In addition, you ask me to block his number and cut all ties with him. Iâm sorry. I canât promise you that."
Now Mrs. Conduibh straightened her face and warned, "Ophelia, youâre young and beautiful, and itâs totally understandable that you want more, but cheating is shameful behavior. Besides, the Chambers are no fools. If they learned that you got involved in a relationship with some other man, Iâm afraid they wouldnât be happy about it either."
Ophelia kept smiling decently. "Mrs. Conduibh, Tassach and I are just friends. We were in the past; we are now, and we will still be in the future. Since the relationship between us is mere friendship, I donât think itâs proper for me to break off with him."
Mrs. Conduibh asked, "Then what do you want?"
Before Ophelia could say anything, there was a knock at the door. The waitress pushed the door open and came in, saying, "Mrs. Conduibh, tea is ready."
Mrs. Conduibh nodded.
The waitress served the tea and poured two cups of tea adeptly for Mrs. Conduibh and Ophelia.
"Mrs. Conduibh, Miss Lowe, please enjoy the tea." After that, the waitress left the room knowingly.
Mrs. Conduibh picked up the cup elegantly, took a sip and went on, "Ophelia, I admit that youâre a smart woman. Iâll agree to anything you ask for, as long as I donât think itâs too much."
Ophelia sipped the tea and gave an appropriate smile. "Mrs. Conduibh, Tassach and I are just friends. If you must interpret our relationship as something filthy, then I can do nothing about it."
Mrs. Conduibh insisted, "Ophelia, just as you said, now you have your own family, and I donât think you want to see it break apart. In that case, why not cut all ties with Tassach? He canât change his mind at all with you around. It was my fault five years ago, but could you please leave my son alone since I, Tassachâs mother, am pleading with you?"
Ophelia found the whole situation ridiculous.
She had no connection with Tassach at all, but Mrs. Conduibh firmly believed that Ophelia was cheating with her son. History was repeating itself.
Back then, Mrs. Conduibh set a plan and framed Ophelia up when she wasnât even in a relationship with Tassach. Mrs. Conduibh went so far as to sell her own companyâs secrets to other companies, which led to a fall of stock price, to drive Ophelia away and achieve her goal.
"Mrs. Conduibh, we failed to reach an agreement on this issue five years ago, and we wonât in the future. Iâm afraid I have to take my leave," Ophelia got up and said.
Mrs. Conduibh smacked her right hand down on to the table and snarled, "Stop!"
"Is there anything else you want to tell me, Mrs. Conduibh?"
"Ophelia Lowe, it seems that you want it the hard way! If you donât cut all ties with Tassach, I will send the pictures of you and him to the Chambers family. Although you were not in a relationship with him back then, you two still look intimate in those pictures. What will the Chambers family think when they see them?"
Ophelia stared coldly at her and said, "Mrs. Conduibh, you and I are not related. Canât we just live our own lives? Why must you push me to the wall again?"
Mrs. Conduibh sneered, "If you didnât get entangled with Tassach, I wouldnât have come to you."
Ophelia laughed out of anger. "Mrs. Conduibh, sometimes I find you beyond my comprehension. Why must you blame me for something Iâve never done?"
Ophelia paused and continued, "Mrs. Conduibh, I donât see why we need to discuss it further. If you donât want your son to contact me, go talk to him.
If he doesnât contact me, I will absolutely not latch onto him. Mrs. Conduibh, I have to go now. Goodbye."
After that, Ophelia turned around and left.
When she went out of the box, Ophelia called Madeleine. "Madeleine, letâs go."
The two met out of the private club.
After they got into the car, Madeleine asked, "What were you and that old woman talking about?"
Ophelia briefly repeated the conversation between her and Mrs. Conduibh.
Madeleine thumped the wheel in anger and snapped, "This fucking bitch! Shame on her! How can she say something like that?"
Ophelia got amused. "Iâm not even pissed, but why are you so angry?"

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Madeleine glanced at Ophelia with resentment and huffed, "She was so mean to you, but why are you still laughing? I wonder whether youâre too big-
hearted or too hypocritical."
Ophelia simply smiled.
"No, I have to tell Tassach about it. Iâll let him figure out what kind of person his mother really is. This woman has gone too far. Probably only Tassach can control her."
Ophelia shook her head and said, "Madeleine, thereâs no need to do that."
"But honey, how can you still be so kind when someone has been so rude to you? Do you want to piss me off?"
"Madeleine, calm down now."
Madeleine was still seething with anger.
Ophelia went on, "Madeleine, itâs no use telling Tassach about it. Tassach went back and fell out with his mother, so now Iâm to blame for doing damage to their relationship. Even if their relationship is destined to break down, I canât be the cause. I donât want to be accused of destroying a family for no reason. I have nothing to do with them, and I donât want them to affect my life."
It turned out that Ophelia was not a hypocrite. It was just that she didnât want to waste her time on some irrelevant people.
