Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 695

Ophelia smirked. "Is that so? Then why did you keep those videos of me?"

Zelena froze, unable to respond.

When Ophelia first began investigating Zelena, she had hired a hacker at a hefty price to hack Zelena's computer.

That was where she found the videos Zelena had secretly saved.

Watching those videos had been like a dagger to Ophelia's heart.

If Zelena had truly felt guilty, she would've deleted them long ago. The fact that Zelena had kept those videos could only mean one thing—she was planning to use them against Ophelia in the future. There was no other explanation.

Since Zelena had gone so far, there was no way Ophelia would just sit back and do nothing. She wasn't that easy to push around.

Ophelia picked up the bowl of hot oatmeal next to her and began forcefully shoving spoonfuls of the oatmeal into Zelena's mouth. Even though it was scalding, she didn't care. Zelena tried to resist, but Ophelia kept pushing it in until the corners of her mouth were burned.

Zelena whimpered, but there was nothing she could do.

Ophelia didn't stop until she had fed Zelena every last bite.

Then, she patted Zelena's cheek and said, "Don't worry, Lena. I'll be visiting you often. After all, we're besties, aren't we? You said so yourself. I won't abandon you. I'll take good care of you and make sure to visit you regularly."

Her tone was gentle, but in the next moment, Ophelia's expression darkened. She grabbed a fistful of Zelena's hair, her voice dropping to a menacing whisper. "Don't even think about telling anyone what's happening. Who do you think your parents will believe? You, a mentally unstable patient, or the caregivers?

"Even if you get rid of them, the next ones will still be my people. Wave after wave, I'll make sure of it. Let's see how long it takes for you to completely lose your parents' trust."
