The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 879

Margaret didn't bother hiding her change of heart from Ophelia. After all, Ophelia was married to Zachary Zollinger now, which meant she had clearly moved on from Stefan. Plus, Ophelia still played the role of the sweet, understanding girl flawlessly, so Margaret treated her exactly as she always had—speaking her mind without a filter.

Swallowing the fiery rage burning in her chest, Ophelia forced a smile. "Margaret, weren't you just saying how much you despised Winona? She's always been so disrespectful to you. After all of that, you're really just going to accept her?"

Margaret waved a hand dismissively. "Times change. Winona is making a real name for herself in the academic world now. Having her around will actually benefit the Goddard family. It'll make it much easier for us to secure government contracts. As for her attitude, she's just young and arrogant. I'll just have to train her properly. Besides, the most important thing a woman can do is give a man children, and she's already proven she can do that. I have no major complaints."

Ophelia was seething. Winona barely made a ripple in the Capital's academic circles, and Margaret was already rolling out the red carpet for her.

The second Ophelia left the estate, she called Daisy Falconer to deliver the news.

Daisy's voice dripped with icy contempt. "She always was a spineless opportunist. One tiny ounce of success and she completely forgets every insult Winona threw at her."

"So what do we do?"

Daisy fell silent for a moment, her eyes turning vicious. "Since she's flip-flopping to Winona's side, we need to get rid of her. She's stupid anyway. Taking her out will be incredibly easy."

Tuesday morning, Winona and Stefan went to the legal offices to sign the paperwork merging their assets.

Winona only realized the sheer magnitude of Stefan's wealth when she looked over the documents.

Suddenly, she felt a spike of nerves.

Stefan squeezed her hand, offering a warm smile. "We had a deal. You can't back out now."

Winona took a deep breath. "I'm your partner. Everything you have is mine anyway. It's just legalizing our joint assets, and I'm clearly walking away with the better end of the deal. I have nothing to be afraid of."
