Twin Mistresses？I'm Pregnant with Quads and Marrying Your Enemy - Chapter 26: Chapter 26

I frowned, suppressing the discomfort of being watched by a crowd, looking at Helena with eyes that had turned ice-cold. My intuition told me that nothing good would come from this woman opening her mouth!
Sure enough.
Helena let out a feigned cry of delight, excitedly stepping forward to grasp my hand, her expression one of disbelief as she said: "It really is you! Ophelia, you've come back?"
My expression immediately darkened as I glanced coldly at her falsely intimate gesture. A wave of nausea involuntarily surged up in my heart. This woman was still as hypocritical as ever, showing different faces in public and private—truly unchanged in the slightest...
I looked down, my face showing undisguised disgust, and shook off her hand, saying: "Who are you?"
This barbed question left everyone confused. Could it be that she had mistaken me for someone else?
Helena also looked embarrassed, awkwardly lowering her hand with a somewhat sheepish smile, quickly saying: "Sorry, I got too excited! But I definitely wouldn't mistake you!"
"Ophelia, when did you return to the country? How come no one heard about it? Did you go back to the Grimwald family? All these years... Mom and Dad have been quite worried about you."
Helena acted as if she were meeting a good sister she hadn't contacted in years, her attitude very familiar. Her words seemed caring on the surface, but I knew her underlying purpose. She was trying to use these words to show off how favored she was.
But I only smiled coldly, my eyes narrowing with a kind of aggressive beauty.
Would that couple from the Grimwald family worry about her? Setting aside how cruel they were when they threw me out, just the fact that she dared call them 'mom and dad' despite having no blood relation to the Grimwalds showed that in their eyes, I had long ceased to exist.
Helena's purpose was nothing more than to show off in front of everyone.
I immediately spoke up: "Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about."
My tone was very calm, as if I truly had no connection to anything she was saying.
"Besides, I don't have a sister. Please show some self-respect and don't randomly claim family ties. Hearing it makes me feel somewhat sick."
Upon hearing this, Helena's face immediately turned alternately green and white. She lowered her eyes, putting on a deeply hurt appearance. Her voice carried a slight tremor, as if she was about to cry: "I'm sorry... I, I just..."
She spoke haltingly, looking very bewildered, like a bullied little lamb. This appearance immediately provoked anger from most of the people present!
Many people knew my identity and immediately began discussing: "My God, this is actually Ophelia from the Grimwald family? Isn't that... Master Magnus's ex-wife?"
"Do you know what this Ophelia did back then? She was the one who pushed Helena down the stairs. That limp leg is her handiwork, isn't it?"
Countless accusations flew like sharp blades—different scene, but just like before, they transformed into piercing arrows shooting at me.
Seeing that her purpose had been achieved, a trace of triumphant smile flashed in Helena's eyes. After a long while, she put on an understanding appearance and said to the banquet guests: "When I fell down the stairs, it was completely an accident, nothing to do with Ophelia. Please don't talk about her anymore."
Harrison, standing in place, cast an interested gaze toward Magnus. Magnus naturally also heard those harsh words, his mood clearly somewhat irritated. His eyes, from beginning to end, never left my face.
