Ophelia Gets Thrown Out (Ophelia) novel Chapter 225

225 Chapter 225

225.Chapter 225

“Ophelia, we’ve already explained everything. How can you just accuse us like that?” Chloe complained, her face full of indignation.

“You really think I’d call the cops if I didn’t have any proof?” Ophelia gave Chloe a look like she was clueless and said, her words heavy with meaning, “I’m just giving you a chance.”

“You’ve been with the Rowle family for so many years. The Rowle family has always treated you kindly, and my mom really cared about you,” Ophelia sighed. “It’s a shame you never appreciated it.”

“Chloe, why would you do this?” Victoria asked, her voice trembling with hurt.

Chloe had looked after her for so many years. From the moment she first came to the Rowle family, Chloe was the one who cared for her. Even in those years after Ophelia was gone, Chloe was always there, offering comfort whenever she needed it.

She truly never imagined Chloe would ever do something like this to Ophelia.

Guilt flashed across Chloe’s face for a split second, but she quickly steeled herself and said stubbornly, “Mrs. Rowle, Ophelia is just mistaken, that’s all.”

Ophelia had no interest in arguing with Chloe anymore. She turned her gaze to the man and pressed, “So, what about you? Still planning to play tough? The sentences for the mastermind and the accomplice are worlds apart. If you cooperate, you might just catch a break.”

He was just in it for cash anyway. Guys like him usually crack pretty easily.

The man went quiet, just hung his head, and for now, nobody could read his mind.

“Mr. and Mrs. Rowle, the police are here,” Samuel announced as he led the officers back in.

“Officer, these two were up to no good, and I caught them red-handed…” Ophelia was still speaking when the man finally broke down, blurting out anxiously, “I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything.”

“I didn’t know anything. She just offered me money to pose for a few photos, and I let my guard down and agreed,” the man confessed, spilling everything about his arrangement with Chloe.

Chloe glared at the man, her voice dripping with annoyance. “Seriously? Are you that clueless? She doesn’t have a shred of proof. Can’t you tell she’s just playing you?”

Great, now he’s blabbed about everything. Might as well have handed Ophelia the knife to finish him off.

“Chloe, I always thought you were the brains behind Zoe. Otherwise, how could you have been her advisor for so long? Looks like I gave you way too much credit.”

Ophelia let out a derisive laugh, then handed the cup to the police. “There should be enough milk residue in here to test for sedatives.”

Next, Ophelia pulled out her phone and hit play on the recording. “Relax, everything’s set up… Now hurry up and take your clothes off…”

The conversation between Chloe and the man was crystal clear.

Chloe’s face turned ashen as she collapsed to the floor, her mind going completely blank.
