Chapter 187
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 187<\/p>\n
Seeing Ophelia hesitating, Madeleine asked, “Who\u2019s calling?”<\/p>\n
Ophelia shook her head and responded, “I have no idea. It\u2019s a strange number.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine snatched the phone from Ophelia\u2019s hand and hung up, saying, “Since it\u2019s a strange number, don\u2019t answer it. Maybe it\u2019s some phone scam.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia nodded.<\/p>\n
The phone started to ring again when the two picked up the menus. Ophelia stretched out her hand and said, “Madeleine, hand me my phone. I suppose it must be someone I know calling me with someone else\u2019s phone.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine passed the phone back to Ophelia. Ophelia pressed the answer button and said, “Hello, who\u2019s that?”<\/p>\n
“You\u2019re Ophelia, right? I\u2019m Tassach\u2019s mother. We met a few times several years ago. I wonder if you still remember me?”<\/p>\n
Ophelia\u2019s face clouded over all of a sudden. She tightened her grip on the phone. It never occurred to her that she would get Mrs. Conduibh\u2019s call five years later, and her voice reminded Ophelia of the nightmares she had used to have.<\/p>\n
Just because of this elegant-looking lady who was actually a back-stabber, Ophelia was accused of selling trade secrets and almost thrown into prison. Thanks to this woman, Ophelia was plunged into misery, so she was scared upon hearing her voice again now.<\/p>\n
Ophelia took a deep breath, managed to calm down and said coolly, “Hello, Mrs. Conduibh. I wonder what you\u2019re calling me for.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine widened her eyes in astonishment when hearing Ophelia calling “Mrs. Conduibh”. She stared at the phone in Ophelia\u2019s hand and said through clenched teeth, “Ophelia, give me your phone.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia shook her hand, made an eye gesture to Madeleine telling her to stay away, and continued, “Mrs. Conduibh, are you still there? What are you calling me for?”<\/p>\n
“Do you have time now? I want to invite you to lunch. I do have something to tell you,” Mrs. Conduibh said on the other end of the line.<\/p>\n
“Excuse me, Mrs. Conduibh, but I\u2019m having lunch with my friend, so I may not be able to accept your invitation,” Ophelia declined.<\/p>\n
After what had happened to her, Ophelia didn\u2019t really want to see Mrs. Conduibh again.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s alright. I can have lunch with you guys. You just need to tell me your address, and I\u2019ll join you,” Mrs. Conduibh insisted.<\/p>\n
Frowning, Ophelia still wanted to refuse. “Mrs. Conduibh, I\u2019m afraid that you won\u2019t feel comfortable eating with my friend. How about this? Since I\u2019m free tomorrow noon, let\u2019s meet then. What do you think?”<\/p>\n
“She\u2019s just an irrelevant person, and it\u2019s not worthwhile being mad at her. Besides, they wouldn\u2019t know if I got angry, so why bother?”<\/p>\n
Madeleine glared at Ophelia, finding herself always shut down by Ophelia\u2019s sophistry.<\/p>\n
“Come on. Don\u2019t be angry. There\u2019s no point getting mad at some irrelevant person,” Ophelia comforted her.<\/p>\n
Madeleine ordered plenty of dishes to vent her anger.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long before Mrs. Conduibh walked elegantly into the restaurant carrying her designer bag.<\/p>\n
She went straight to Ophelia\u2019s table and sat down on her own, saying, “What makes you want to have hot pot? The smell is simply disgusting. Can\u2019t you eat in a fancy restaurant?”<\/p>\n
Madeleine snorted and replied, “We\u2019re just ordinary people, not ladies like you, Mrs. Conduibh. If you can\u2019t eat it, there\u2019s the door.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh\u2019s eyes moved curiously over Madeleine\u2019s face and she wondered, “Who\u2019s this? She looks familiar. I might have seen her before.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1061","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
