Chapter 1861

Arabella couldn't help but laugh. "Arguing with them is just a waste of time."

"Absolutely, let's not give them a second of ours. Let them flounder in the abyss. Have you heard that

Yolanda has hit rock bottom."

Hmph!

That’s what Yolanda deserved!

She was such a snob when she was the heiress of the Murphys, always picking on Bella.

Without Bella, the Murphys would be nobodies!

"But, what's going on with your family? Do you need my help?" Ophelia couldn't help but ask as she

noticed the swarm of security guards patrolling the grounds. "Just say the word, and I'll have people

here in no time."

Arabella filled her in on Erik's situation and then said, "We're just waiting for the puppet master to walk

right into the trap now."

"I can't believe there's someone out there even worse than the Murphys, more vile and despicable. You

should be careful these next few days."

"Don't worry, with all these people around, and besides, it's not that easy to get to me."

"That's true. With your skills, there aren't many who can stand up to you."

They chatted the night away until the hands of the clock were nearing eleven, and Ophelia finally said

goodbye, her voice full of reluctance.

"I'll celebrate with you the day your true identity is revealed."

"Definitely."

As they walked downstairs, Louisa rose from the couch and said warmly, "Ophelia, leaving so soon?

It's still early, why not stay a little longer?"

"No, Auntie, it's quite late already."

"Why don't you stay here for the night, save you the trip back and forth. You'll be attending Bella's

homecoming banquet in a few days, right? I'm fond of you. If you stayed, Bella would have company,

and I could see you more often."

"Thanks you, Auntie, but Bella's leaving the country tomorrow, so I'd be alone anyway. I'll come visit

another time."

"Bella, you're going abroad?" Louisa looked at Arabella in surprise.

"Yeah, I'm escorting Bella tomorrow. Don't worry, she's just delivering some outfits to a client. We'll go

and come back the same day, it won't interfere with the upcoming plans."

Sean knew the family wanted to surprise Bella.

"Then you be careful, and take good care of your sister." Louisa was obviously worried about his injury,

but it wasn't the right moment to discuss it, so she decided to talk about it later.

Then she turned back to Ophelia, "Dear, when you visit, you don't need to bring anything. It's too

formal. Boys, help Ophelia with her things to the car."

The brothers immediately volunteered. One of them said, "Sean's free, he can do it."

Sean was thrilled at the proposal.

"Auntie, you're too kind. It's just a small gift from me."

"Your consideration is appreciated, but we shouldn’t accept these gifts. You're still young, how can I

take these from a child."

The two continued their polite argument, each insisting.

"Why don't we split it? Take half, and return half." Arabella interjected.

The Collins family could accept half of Ophelia's housewarming gifts and return her with some other

items, and the friendly dispute would be solved.
