Chapter 45 Evil Thought

Savannah couldn’t believe what Zachariah said and looked at him angrily while stamping her feet in
rage, “You go too far. How can you all scold me for an outsider? I just hate her and I will never
apologize to her.”

After saying this, Savannah directly went upstairs.

Helena grabbed Ophelia’s hands and said, “She’s like a wild child and loves playing. Don’t be angry
with her words.”

Ophelia smiled, “Mom, don’t worry. She’s my sister and I won’t blame her. I just hope to accompany
Zachariah as long as I could.”

Helena petted her hands in satisfaction, “You’re a good girl.”

Zachariah stood beside them and said, “Mom, I still have work to deal with and will be back before
dinner.”

“Are you still busy in the weekend?”

“Yes, it’s technical problem. I will be back once it’s done.”

Helena looked at him disapprovingly, “You should accompany your wife on weekends. Don’t act like
your father, and become a workaholic.”

Ophelia tried to comfort her and said, “Mom, the Chambers Group is really a big company with
thousands of employees. I understand that Zachariah carries a great deal of pressure to work or even
work extra time on weekends. Don’t blame him.”

“It’s your fortune to have such a considerate wife. I know you’re busy, but don’t forget to live a happy
life. Although Ophelia doesn’t blame you, I am really angry at your behaviour. I don’t have a job, but I



am not silly. I know what you’re thinking about. If you really want Cora to be your girlfriend again, you
don’t have to call me mom anymore. I will never admit her and will never let her get into our family.”
Helena reminded him in a serious tone.

Zachariah’s expression sunk and looked at Ophelia with a complicated expression.

Helena noticed it and asked, “What are you doing? You said you still have job to do in the company.
Hurry up.”

Zachariah nodded and left.

“He’s already an adult and don’t have to scold him like this. He’s a good man and can balance his work
and life. You shouldn’t interrupt too much.” said Steffan.

Helena said to Ophelia, “It’s time to take a nap.”

Ophelia nodded.

After she got upstairs, Helena sat beside Steffan and asked him, “Are you still intending to break up a
married couple?”

Steffan pretended to be deaf and absorbed himself in reading newspaper.

Helena suddenly grabbed the newspaper and continued asking, “Say something. Stop acting like this
anymore. I have told you that Ophelia is my dream daughter-in-law and others can never get the
chance, especially Cora. I will never let her step into our family.”

Steffan gave her a weird look and said, “What’s good about Ophelia? She’s simply an ordinary girl from
a poor family. You should know why Zachariah married her. It can’t be denied that Cora did terrible
things to our son. However, now she’s back with her parents and visits us in person. What are you
angry at? I remembered you used to treat her so nice. What’s wrong with you?”



“Well, you’re really generous by forgetting what she had done to our son. Don’t you remember that she
ran away with her new boyfriend? What does she think of our son? What does she think of our family?
Do you really think she can be forgiven simply by dropping by? She’s too naïve.”

Helena was a nice person. However, she would be extremely cruel if someone irritated her and it would
take a life time for them to be forgiven. How much she liked Cora then, and how much she hated her
now.

Steffan grabbed the newspaper and said calmly, “You don’t have to worry about it anymore. It is our
son’s marriage and he will make his own decision. However, I have noticed that he is still thinking about
Cora. Well, never mind. We can’t make decision for him.”

“What do you mean? Do you think I am nosy?”

Steffan hugged her in his arms and said gently, “I will transfer all my work to Zachariah after a few days
and take you on a vacation abroad. I have heard that there is a town with extremely wonderful view,
clear sky and beautiful clouds. You will like it once you get there.”

Helena’s mood finally became better.

“Are you still angry?”

“Well, I won’t be angry if you stand by my side, but we should care about our son’s happiness. I know
you are not satisfied with Ophelia’s family background. She’s our daughter-in-law, anyway. We can’t
break our family rule by letting our son marry another woman again. There’s no exception, even though
he is our son.”

“Honey, you are really pushing him. They would get divorce if they don’t like each other anymore. How
can you force them to be together?”



Staring at him, Helena asked, “Do you mean you support his reunion with Cora?”
