Everyone’s eyes were filled with either disdain or ridicule when they looked at the Hastings family. 

Emily was fuming with jealousy, and when she turned around, she noticed Miles‘ gaze glued to Ophelia. It was the first time she’d ever seen Miles look at someone like that. 

Miles couldn’t take his eyes off Ophelia, now realizing how much more stunning she was compared to Emily. She seemed to shine, completely overshadowing everyone else. 

Theo’s eyes shifted to Owen. “You said the Hastings family has cut ties with Miss Spencer, right?” 

Owen felt like swallowing broken glass. They had already publicly announced the severed ties. There was no turning back now. “Yes, Mr. Carnegie, actually…” 

Before he could finish, Theo interrupted, “Good. Ophelia, come here.” 

Everyone turned their attention to Theo. 

“Ophelia, I feel a connection with you. I have only grandsons, no granddaughters. How about I take you as my god- granddaughter? If you’re okay with it, that is.” Theo’s words dropped like a bombshell. Everyone was stunned. The Hastings family was left speechless. 

The guests thought, ‘Did we hear that right? The head of the prestigious Carnegie family wanted to take Ophelia as his god- granddaughter? Forget about the Hastings family. Even the Lewis family would have to curry favor with the Carnegies. If Ophelia became part of the Carnegie family, she would instantly rise in status, and no one in Dellanex would dare to mess 

with her.’ 

Bethany beamed at Theo’s words and thought, ‘Theo made a great decision.‘ She immediately grabbed Ophelia’s hand, overjoyed. “I’ve always dreamed of having a daughter. From now on, you’re my goddaughter, and I promise to treat you even better than 

my 

sons.” 

Ophelia hadn’t fully processed what was happening. She had only come to drop off a birthday gift. 

Emily, on the other hand, was green with envy. She thought, ‘Why does Ophelia always get so lucky?” 

Heather smiled and stepped forward. “Ophelia, why are you still standing there? This is a huge honor, not just for you but for the Hastings family as well.” 

Owen chimed in, “Yes, Ophelia, hurry and thank Mr. Theo. And Emily, you and Ophelia are sisters. From now on, treat Mr. Theo like your own grandfather.” He gave Emily a pointed look. 

Emily quickly caught on and thought, ‘If I could get close to the Carnegie family, I’d have access to people like Kenneth.‘ She let go of Miles and walked forward. 

Theo let out a cold snort, his face stern. “I don’t just accept anyone as family.” 

Emily froze and thought, ‘What does he mean? What’s good about Ophelia?‘ Her face twisted with anger as she glared at Ophelia. 

Owen felt embarrassed, but the Carnegie family didn’t care about saving face for them. 

“You have already cut ties with Ophelia, right? Who said that? You even mentioned that whatever trouble she caused has nothing to do with you. Well, that also means you can’t bask in her glory now.” Theo’s words were crystal clear. 

Bethany, overhearing this, was visibly displeased. “Dear, why is anyone allowed to attend Theo’s birthday? Send the Hastings family’s gift back. There’s no room for them here. How strange for the whole family to show up.” Her words couldn’t have been harsher.

The guests had seen everything Owen had done earlier. It had been a public embarrassment for the Hastings family. It was a perfect example of instant karma. It had been a long time since anyone had witnessed something so satisfying. 

Someone pulled out the Hastings family’s public statement from that morning. “This is shameless. The statement clearly says they’ve cut ties with Miss Spencer. Now that Mr. Carnegie wants to take her as his god–granddaughter, they’re trying to suck up to her? Disgusting.” 

Someone sneered, “They shot themselves in the foot.” 

Someone echoed, “Exactly. But for a family that treats their adopted daughter so well, I’d think she is someone’s secret love child.” 

Owen’s face filled with panic. 

“Mr. Hastings, take your family and leave. We don’t welcome you.” Finlay stepped forward, fully supporting Bethany. He even returned all the gifts they had brought. 

Owen’s face brushed out of embarrassment. Heather shot Ophelia a pleading look, hoping she would speak on their behalf. But Ophelia, happily chatting with Clara, didn’t pay them any attention. 

“Ophelia, how can you just stand there while our parents are being humiliated? Say something.” Nathan was furious, his fists clenched tightly. He wondered what kind of tricks Ophelia had used. 

“Parents? Excuse me, but you called me ‘ungrateful‘ in your statement, remember? Since I married, I’ve had no ties to the Hastings family. Isn’t that right, Mr. Hastings?” Ophelia repeated the exact words from their public statement. 

The Hastings family was left speechless. Emily glanced at Miles, hoping for support, but he remained silent, making her feel even more bitter. She thought, ‘Ophelia, you’ll pay for this.
