The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1518

Ophelia's voice pierced through the room. The image of a once poised and elegant lady had completely shattered.

She was completely different from when she was in the Whitman family. She was once regarded as virtuous and dignified, keeping her distance from drama.

With her status as Mrs. Whitman, her life in the upper-class circles in Hawford was filled with luxury. Everyone admired her seemingly perfect marriage.

But Ophelia had never truly grasped that her comfortable life was propped up by Noah's success and support. Now, with her world turned upside down and reality refusing to align with her expectations, she broke down completely.

Gone was any semblance of elegance. She began smashing objects in the living room in frustration.

The maids knew better than to approach her when she was in such a volatile state. They could only speculate about her mood, sensing the storm brewing within her.

Rodrigo felt helpless about the situation. Hence, he spoke from a professional standpoint, "The possibility of obtaining shares is almost zero.

"The current public opinion is heavily against you, so I strongly recommend a private settlement. Mr. Whitman may be willing to offer some compensation."

Ophelia screamed at the top of her lungs, "Are you deaf? How dare Noah have made plans to divorce me in advance? I want the shares from the Whitman family!

"If he transferred his assets early, doesn't that count as a crime? You need to investigate him! I won't accept a private settlement!"

Rodrigo wanted to explain that it wasn't just about her acceptance. It still depended on whether the Whitman family even wanted to discuss things with her.

But seeing her in such an agitated state, he decided it was best to end the call and wait for her emotions to settle before attempting to discuss the matter again.

The first thing Tamia heard when she entered the room was the distress in Ophelia's last sentence. Compared to Ophelia, who had always struggled to succeed in anything she did, the implications of transferring assets in advance were not lost on Tamia!

She completely ignored Ophelia, who was in obvious distress, as she grabbed her by the shoulders. "What's going on? Did Noah transfer his assets in advance? How is that possible?"

Ophelia was already crying as she handed the phone to Tamia. The video on the trending topic was crystal clear. It showed a recording of Tamia and Ophelia's conversation at a hotel years ago.

"Mom, is this really going to work?"

It was inevitable that the Montclair family would face backlash as soon as such a video emerged.

People might indulge in romantic fantasies while reading novels, but this was real life! Who could accept that their marriage was built on such deceit?

The comments under the video were relentless.

"No wonder the campus heartthrob married so young! This all makes sense now."

"This is such a shame. I heard that he wanted to pursue research before this happened."

"I've also heard that he was forced into marriage. If he didn't, it would've been a dereliction of duty on the Whitman family's part."

"Exactly! That's what the Montclairs have said back then."

"I've never seen a family as shameless as the Montclair family."
