Chapter 123 Rude and Unreasonable

Ophelia had never seen anyone be so unreasonable. Marriage should always be consensual, and if
both parties felt that they were forced into this relationship, then it had become a transaction.

Ophelia said, "Gracie, you can make him marry you, but you can't make him love you. You should calm
down and have a rational conversation. Your hysterical shout is of no use. You're doing a great job at
work, so I assume you're a smart woman. You should know that you would only antagonize him if you
keep pushing him like this. You should really chill out, so that nobody's feelings will get hurt."

Gracie glanced at her and murmured a "yes". She agreed with Ophelia.

Gracie took a deep breath and said, "Tassach, I'm sorry I overreacted. I'll go back to the company now.
We should go back to your family in the evening. Anyway, we should put the cards on the table with our
parents. We shouldn't wait until the day before our engagement party to cancel it. It will humiliate our
parents and ruin my reputation."

Tassach nodded.

"I will go back with you tonight."

Gracie glanced at him with a complicated gaze, then she turned back to the car without hesitation. The
car drove away and disappeared.

Tassach seemed a bit tired, but when he looked at Ophelia, he was as gentle as ever.

"I'm sorry. Did she scare you?" He asked with a sorry face.

Ophelia shook her head and replied, "Tassach, I think Gracie is taking you very seriously. You should
cut off from her if you have no feelings for her. The longer you spend with her, the deeper you'll be
stuck. She's a woman of high self-esteem, and she has been loved and cared for in a rich family, so I



assume she has never come to grief in love before. She would be very upset if you refuse her. She
wants to conquer you instead of love you. If you don't handle this well, it may cause you big trouble."

Tassach smiled and said, "Don't worry. She's just a self-willed spoiled lady from a rich family. I'll get rid
of her. It just... I felt guilty that she's always bugging you."

Ophelia said, "She does bark, but she never bites, which does no actual hard to me. Anyway... I think
she was serious about your relationship. It will harm you if you don't handle this well, given how
stubborn she is."

Tassach smiled gently and asked, "Why do you care?"

Ophelia shook her head and smiled. Then she walked to the shop across the road and said, "Thank
you for taking care of me for these days, Tassach, but I'm a married woman. I don't want my husband
to have any misunderstandings. I don't want to be the black between you and Gracie."

Tassach's eyes changed. He said, "I'll be your friend as long as you're married. If you get divorced
someday, please remember your words and give me a chance. Don't turn me down... I deserve a
chance to try to make you believe that I can be the one you can spend your whole life with."

Ophelia glanced at him, and signed, "Why do you have to do this?"

Tassach shrugged and said, "I gave you up four years ago and I have been regretting it. Last time you
contacted me, I've lost sleep for three nights, and when I could finally sleep, I woke up laughing. I know
this is God's plan. Please don't turn me down, OK?"

The confession was too heavy for Ophelia to ignore. She opened her mouth but she didn't say anything
at last.



Ophelia and Tassach went back to the company after they bought what they wanted. When they
entered the design department. They found that their colleagues were looking at them with strange
expressions in their eyes.

Ophelia was confused. Just by then, Elisa approached and whispered to her, "Ophelia, Gracie dropped
by just now and said that Mr. Conduibh and her are going to be engaged. She said you seduced Mr.
Conduibh and had an extra-marital with him. Mr. Conduibh wants to break up with her now. She said
you're an unfaithful married slut who loves hooking up around. The rumor has been spread over the
whole company. You should take care of it. Gossip is a fearful thing. A repeated slander makes others
believe."

Ophelia now looked completely gloomy. She withheld her anger and said, "I don't need to take care of it
because it is obviously not true. The rumors will disperse as long as I am innocent."

Elisa said concernedly, "You should get it clarified. If the rumor keeps spreading, your career in this
company will be challenging."

Ophelia smiled and said, "Don't worry. Other people will think I'm having a guilty conscience if I clarify it
right away. It will only make it worse. I have to wait and see.

Elisa curled her lips and said, "You're being too kind to her. I would go and slap her face right away if I
were you, warning her not to slander me behind my back."

"And then? You get your stuff and take off? Is that right?" Ophelia chuckled,

Elisa touched her nose, laughed, "I was joking."

"Go back to your work." Ophelia said.

Elisa then sat back obediently.
