Ophelia Gets Thrown Out (Ophelia) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

She wasn’t sure if there was something wrong with the other cups, so it was better if they didn’t drink them. Seeing Ophelia put down her cup in such an odd way, Dylan was puzzled but still recommended, “Yeah, Oliver, Ophelia’s coffee is pretty unique. It actually helps ease some fatigue. You just got back and must be tired. Why not give it a try?”

At Dylan’s words, a flicker of amusement appeared in Oliver’s eyes. “Oh? Ophelia makes coffee? Then of course I have to try it.”

He lounged back on the sofa and took a sip. “Not bad at all.”

No wonder Dylan had praised Ophelia’s coffee from a distance; it really did help relieve fatigue.

Watching Oliver and the others being won over by Ophelia’s coffee, Zoe felt a wave of frustration.

‘Looks like all my efforts were for nothing,’ she wondered. She hadn’t realized this whole family actually liked coffee.

Ophelia watched Zoe calmly drink her milkshake, showing no signs of having tampered with it.

Her gaze shifted toward the others in the living room, eyes turning icy cold.

‘Who poisoned the milkshake? Was it meant for me, or for Oliver?’ Ophelia wondered, suspicion flashing through her mind.

‘So someone in this family actually knows how to use poison. I really didn’t see that coming, she thought.

With her eyes narrowing slightly, Ophelia took a fake sip of the milkshake after drinking her coffee, intending to watch how things would unfold.

“Ophelia, will you be going to pick out the gift Oliver gave you tomorrow?” Dylan’s question pulled her back to the moment.

She looked up at him and replied, “Okay.”

“I’ll go with you. I have nothing else to do anyway,” he said. Dylan was just back for Grandpa’s birthday party.

“Thanks, Dylan,” Ophelia smiled slightly.

“Ophelia, I want to come, too,” Owen said, trying to cling to any chance to stick close to her and curious to see

what the limited-edition car looked like.

“Sure, we’ll go together,” Ophelia agreed.

“Ophelia, I have to be at the company tomorrow, so I won’t be able to join you,” Oliver said. He was busy every day and had a pile of things to handle after coming back, so she’d have to manage on her own.

Ophelia waved the card in her hand playfully. “That’s okay, Oliver. I have Dylan and Owen with me.”

“Ophelia, I-‘ Zoe also wanted to go. After all, this was a rare opportunity. Maybe if she went and looked, she could report back and persuade Mom and Dad to buy her a cheaper, but still big-brand car.

“Zoe, Mom’s taking you tomorrow to pick out jewelry and bags. You probably won’t have time,” Owen said, seeing through her thoughts and cutting her off.

Zoe’s face turned pale, and she could only change her tone, sulking, “I meant I have things to do tomorrow, so I won’t be going with Ophelia. I hope she won’t blame me.”

“I won’t,” Ophelia said. She didn’t think it was a big deal if Zoe didn’t come.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Time to rest. I’m heading upstairs,” Oliver said, standing first and going upstairs.

Watching Oliver leave, Owen smiled, “Ophelia, you don’t know. When Oliver used to come back before, he wouldn’t spend this much time talking with us. Sometimes we wouldn’t even see him.”
