Chapter 188
\nBillionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 188<\/p>\n
“You sure have a short memory, Mrs. Conduibh. I also got involved back when you did that nasty thing to Ophelia,” Madeleine taunted. “But I can tell you must be an old hand since you felt very at home doing something so sneaky and underhand.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh pretended to be pondering before replying, “Well, now it\u2019s coming back at me. You\u2019re the one called Marilyn Lowe, right?”<\/p>\n
“Excuse me, my name is Madeleine Lowe, not Marilyn Lowe. Please don\u2019t change others\u2019 names as you wish, Mrs. Conduibh.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh faked a smile.<\/p>\n
“I wonder what it is that you want to see me about, Mrs. Conduibh?” Ophelia got to the point, asking.<\/p>\n
Covering her mouth, Mrs. Conduibh smirked and replied, “There\u2019s nothing serious. It\u2019s just that the other day, Tassach said you were working in his company, so I came to see you. After all, it\u2019s almost been five years since we last met.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia said, “Rest assured, Mrs. Conduibh. I already resigned from Mr. Conduibh\u2019s company, and we barely talk in private. Moreover, I\u2019m now married and pregnant, so our relationship is innocent. Don\u2019t worry.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh simpered, “Ophelia, I\u2019m afraid you got me wrong. I came today simply to see you, and I hope I\u2019m not disturbing you.”<\/p>\n
Madeleine felt sick. She even lost her appetite at the sight of the food served by the waitress.<\/p>\n
“Mrs. Conduibh, if you have something to say, just spit it out. Stop putting on a show. You work too hard, and we lose our appetite watching you.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh\u2019s face darkened and she said, “I haven\u2019t seen you in years, but you have become more sharp-tongued than ever, Miss Lowe.”<\/p>\n
“Thanks for your compliment, Mrs. Conduibh, but I only show that side of me towards the people I dislike. Once I see them, words just pop into my head themselves.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh pulled a long face.<\/p>\n
Ophelia was making the sauce quietly aside. When the sauce was done, she asked, “Mrs. Conduibh, do you want any spice in the sauce?”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh moved further away from the sauce in disgust and replied, “Thanks, but no thanks!”<\/p>\n
Ophelia nodded, put the sauce in front of Mrs. Conduibh and said, “I think the hot pot is ready. Please start to eat, Mrs. Conduibh. It\u2019s rare that you would think of me, so I hope you\u2019ll have a nice lunch today.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh put the food in her own bowl and ventured, “Ophelia, I can hardly tell you\u2019re pregnant from your appearance. How long have you been pregnant?”<\/p>\n
“Not exactly. It\u2019s just that I treat people differently according to the way they behave, and I usually talk like this to those with a kind face but a wicked heart.” Madeleine stroke a powerful counterblow.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh took out a clean handkerchief from her designer bag, wiped her mouth and questioned, “Ophelia, why is this friend of yours so mean to me? At least I\u2019m Tassach\u2019s mother, and this is how you treat your friend\u2019s mother?”<\/p>\n
Ophelia put the food into her mouth calmly and replied, “Excuse me. If you can\u2019t accept the way my friend talks, I\u2019ll apologize to you on behalf of her.”<\/p>\n
Mrs. Conduibh took a deep breath and said, “Ophelia, you\u2019re still holding a grudge against me, aren\u2019t you? As a mother, I was doing that out of love for my son. Tassach was young and it was time for him to focus on his career, so he couldn\u2019t be distracted by women, and that\u2019s why I made a plan to drive you away from him. I want to say sorry to you now.”<\/p>\n
Ophelia kept eating with composure. She didn\u2019t think Mrs. Conduibh\u2019s apology was sincere at all.<\/p>\n
A leopard couldn\u2019t change its spots, and neither could Mrs. Conduibh change her character. She did so because it wasn\u2019t time for her to have a showdown yet.<\/p>\n
“Mrs. Conduibh, just say what you want to say. I\u2019m serious. You\u2019re having a hard time acting, while we\u2019re also having a hard time watching,” said Madeleine bluntly.<\/p>\n
Since Madeleine kept attacking her, anger crossed Mrs. Conduibh\u2019s face, even if she tried her best to conceal her emotions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1062","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1062","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=1062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
