Chapter 533: Chapter 533

Savannah sneered, “Ophelia, stop pretending to be pathetic. Didn’t you marry Zachariah for the Chambers family’s money and status? Don’t pretend to be noble now. Tommy is the oldest grandson of the Chambers family and will be the rightful heir to the Chambers family. You want to stay with Tommy so that you’ll be the lawful hostess of the family when Tommy inherits the family business. What a good plan. Don’t you dare mess with us.”

Ophelia’s heart was broken.

Zachariah helped her sit on the couch and gave Savannah a ferocious stare, warning her to stop it.

“Tired?” Zachariah asked very gently.

Ophelia shook her head.

Savannah said defiantly, “Aren’t you going to get a divorce? Why are you in Zachariah’s arms like a poor puppy? God, you are not what you seem to be at all.”

Ophelia, who was leaning against Zachariah, sat up with mixed feelings.

She got out of Zachariah’s arms and kept a distance from him as if she was avoiding doing something that may arouse suspicion.

Zachariah’s face clouded completely. He cast a warning look at Savannah.

Savannah didn’t dare speak anymore.

Witnessing their interaction, Mrs. Chambers said significantly, “Ophelia, my attitude is the same. You two have Tommy and he needs both of you.

Don’t divorce until you have to. Think about what I said. Don’t act on impulse and make the wrong decision. You will regret it someday.”

Ophelia’s face turned rigid. She knew that Mrs. Chambers was warning her that if she left the Chambers family, she would not only lose the custody of Tommy but would never see him again.

Ophelia looked at Mrs. Chambers unconsciously and found she who was always gentle to her was ferocious now.

She had always thought that Mrs. Chambers understood her and loved her but this woman was so cruel on the matter of principles that no trace of love for her could be found now.

Although Mrs. Chambers scolded Savannah for tiny things, she forgave and protected her when she made a big mistake. Ophelia finally got it. No matter how friendly Mrs. Chambers was to her and although she said she saw Ophelia as her own daughter, she wouldn’t compromise and even shut the door upon her face when it came to the matters of principles.

Ophelia was bitterly disappointed. The senior who seemed to care about her didn’t love her and didn’t act for her sake now. When it came to the benefit of the Chambers family, she would choose the Chambers family and sacrifice her.

At that moment, Ophelia felt as if she was alone in the ocean holding a piece of driftwood against the choppy waves. She could be swallowed up by the aggressive sea at any time.

She was alone against the powerful Chambers family and the only person she could rely on for support couldn’t help her at the moment.

Ophelia licked her lips and said in a horse voice, “Sorry, Mrs. Chambers. I let you down.”

Mrs. Chambers looked into her eyes, “Ophelia, you are a sensible girl and I have always loved you as a mother-in-law. I give you all the good things I have these years. I, as a mother-in-law, don’t think I’ve ever wronged you. Marriage is a life event so I hope you can think twice. It’s no big deal for a man to make some mistake as long as he loves the family. It’s not appropriate for a woman to be too fussy. As a daughter-in-law of a rich family, you enjoy a high status and great wealth that ordinary people can’t imagine. It is natural for you to be upset by some unkindness, which you had been prepared for when you decided to marry Zachariah, hadn’t you?”

Ophelia couldn’t argue with that.

Indeed, she married Zachariah for money in spite of the great disparity so she was naturally disadvantaged in the Chambers family. She couldn’t talk to others about the injustice she suffered.

Since she had married Zachariah for money, she could not tell anyone about the pain she had suffered because she was enjoying the luxury that everyone else desired. Sometimes, one couldn’t have money and love at the same time, as one couldn’t have his cake and eat it.

Zachariah put his arm around Ophelia’s shoulder and said, “Mom, I was the one who initiated the divorce and it had nothing to do with Ophelia. I was the one who wronged her and the one to blame. If I did get a divorce, I think it would be best for Tommy to stay with his mother.”

Mrs. Chambers glanced at Zachariah with a flash of anger in her eyes.

Ophelia looked at Zachariah with mixed feelings. She was grateful that the man supported her and didn’t left her alone facing the criticism of the Chambers family and she realized he deserved her love for all these years.

His protection warmed her and made her feel that she was not alone.

Savannah gave Ophelia a jealous look and said, “Zachariah, we know you love her. No one but a fool would believe that it is you to ask for a divorce.”

Zachariah took a look at her and then put his arm around Ophelia’s shoulder and said, “Mom, Dad, I’m taking Ophelia upstairs to see Tommy. We’ll talk about the divorce some other time.”

Zachariah stopped and said, “Mom, anything else?”

Mrs. Chambers looked at Ophelia who had not turned around and said, “Ophelia, I would love you to stay in the family. Please think it through. As I said, you should forgive your man if he still loves your family no matter what he has done. You must toss it back and forth. If you make a false move, everything could be lost. Don’t be silly.”

Ophelia nodded softly without replying.

Zachariah whispered in her ear, “Let’s go.” lightnoveldaily.com The Vixen's Man
