Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 110

Things got tense at the dinner table. Before long, Savannah put down the chopsticks and said, "Dad, mom, I’m done eating. I’m going back to my room now."

"Wait!" Helena called, pointing at the rest half of rice in Savannah’s 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 don’t feel like eating now."

Ophelia got up before Helena could say anything. "Savannah, stay and finish the dinner. I’m 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 didn’t want to accept Ophelia’s goodwill. "Ophelia Lowe, stop acting like a saint. The whole mansion is defiled because of your presence. I’m out for a walk."

After that, Savannah left.

Ophelia stayed put, her look hard to read.

Helena dropped the chopsticks, angry. She held Ophelia’s arm and said, "Ophelia, Savannah is still an ignorant child. Don’t take what she said to heart."

Ophelia came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Helena, it’s alright. I’ve had too much and I want to take a walk outside. I’ll be back soon."

"I’m going with you."

"Don’t bother, Helena. I can go alone. I’ll 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 doesn’t act like a lady."

Steffan played the role of a peacemaker. "Alright, don’t get mad. This isn’t the first day Savannah dislikes Ophelia. Just ask Ophelia not to come back so often in the future in case they fight, and you won’t like it when you find yourself caught in between."

Now Helena got really upset. "What are you talking about? Ophelia is Zachariah’s 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, you’re overthinking. I just don’t want to see you fall out with your daughter over an outsider. You don’t want Savannah to hate you, do you?"

Helena said no more.

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, "I’m not threatening you. I just want to get along with you peacefully. Helena is really kind to me, and I don’t want to put her in an awkward situation, so I hope you won’t turn up your nose at me on every occasion."

Savannah rolled her eyes and asked, "What if I do?"

"I’ve checked. There’re cameras everywhere in the Chambers Mansion, but there’s none around the lake. If I fell into the lake right now, and told people you’re the one who pushed me into the lake after I’m helped ashore, would they believe me or you?"

Savannah curled her lips in disdain and said, "Ophelia, it’s such a small trick, and you aren’t 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, they’d take care of it in every way possible."

Having said that, Savannah stared at Ophelia provocatively.

Astonished, Ophelia didn’t expect Savannah to be so reckless that she would actually come up with the idea of murder.
