Chapter 41 A drastic birthday

Marcus’s birthday arrived.The golden glow of the late afternoon sun shimmered on the waves as the luxurious yacht came into view. Paparazzi lined the harbor with flashing cameras, eager to snap shots of high-profile guests attending Marcus Gray’s exclusive 25th birthday celebration.Ophelia stepped out of the car with gifted poise, dressed in a sleek navy gown that shimmered like starlight. Philip and Sandra smiled warmly at the cameras.Ophelia smiled at everyone until her eyes landed on Wren happily laughing with other guests.Clinging sweetly to one of the guest’s arms like a helpless kitten.“What is she doing here?” Ophelia whispered under her breath. “Didn't I warn her not to come?”Wren, in a pale blush dress that screamed fake innocence, tilted her head and smiled like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth when she saw them.“Aunt Sandra! Uncle Philip! You look amazing tonight!”Sandra blinked in surprise. “Wren? I thought you said you were busy tonight—Ophelia told us—”“Oh!” Wre

Chapter 42 Her best friend is a thief

The mood of Marcus’s birthday yacht celebration suddenly changed once Ophelia confronted Wren, but what came next shattered the glamorous illusion entirely.Elegant chatter fell to murmurs as Ophelia, poised yet fierce, stood at the center of a curious crowd. Wren, stood nearby, mascara streaking her cheeks, still playing the part of the wounded victim.“I didn’t come to ruin your day,” Wren sniffled, turning toward Marcus and Alexander. “I just wanted to be here just like everyone. What proof are you talking about Ophie when I never did anything to offend you.”Ophelia’s expression remained composed, but her eyes were like ice.“That’s funny hearing from a thief like you that you did anything to offend me,” she said coldly. “Because the last time I let my guard down, you took something irreplaceable from me.”Alexander sighed in irritation. “Ophelia, enough. You're going too far—”“No. You want proof, right? You’re all so concerned about appearances, about me making a scene. So fine.

Chapter 43 Was this karma?

Ophelia folded his arms and sneered, “I kind of regret that my parents pitied a thief like you and foster you.”Wren’s eyes widened, her face flushing with humiliation as a few reporters stifled gasps. “Ophelia…how can y-you say that in front of everyone?”“Why not?” she shrugged. “You’ve embarrassed my family more than once. At least own it.”Before Wren could respond, Ophelia stepped forward, her heels clicking sharply against the yacht’s polished floor. “Wren, you didn’t just embarrass yourself. You stole something that can never be replaced.”Reporters leaned in eagerly, flashes clicking. Whispers rippled among the guests, some remembering how the Harvet family had previously praised Wren as a model kid. The contrast was striking and damning.Then, with her chin raised, Ophelia turned without another glance at Wren and took Marcus’s hand. “Let’s go. We’re wasting time.”Marcus shot a dark look at the silent crowd before wrapping an arm around Ophelia and guiding her inside the yach

Chapter 44 Brother in law

Marcus followed beside her, their steps synchronized as the commotion faded behind them. The wind carried the scent of the sea, but Ophelia barely noticed it. Her mind was far away deep in the echoes of a past life she had long buried."That was brutal," Marcus let out, glancing at her with a crooked smile. “I’ve never seen Alexander so speechless. You really told him off.”Ophelia didn’t look at him. “I only defended myself. He thought he had the right to scold me because he was used to the old me. But that version of me no longer exists.”Marcus gave a short laugh. “I’m just saying, I wouldn’t dare cross Alexander these days. The guy’s falling apart. His PTSD’s flared up again, and he’s having episodes of sleep paralysis. He’s jumpy, easily irritable…The butlers say he checks his mailbox like twenty times a day.”At the mention of the mailbox, Ophelia’s lips curled into a faint bitter smirk.In her past life, that damned mailbox had become her secret lifeline to him. She’d never dare

Chapter 45 Provoking her ex

Ophelia sat gracefully beside Marcus, a delicate crystal teacup in her hand, her posture flawless. With a faint, serene smile, she turned toward Alexander, who stood stiffly a few feet away, and said sweetly.“Brother-in-law, why are you so quiet today? You usually have so much to say.”The room froze. A subtle gasp could be heard from one of the younger cousins. The word brother-in-law struck intentionally and mercilessly.Alexander’s eyes darkened as he gave her a cold glance, but he didn’t respond. He simply looked away and took his seat across from them, ignoring her completely.Then he suddenly turned to the Old Madam. “Grandma, I strongly object to this…farce of a relationship between Marcus and Ophelia. If this continues, both the Gray and Harvey families will become the laughingstock of the elite circle. I suggest you reconsider this before we all pay the price for your indulgence.”The words landed heavily.Old Madam was calm but sharp as ever. “And since when did your opinion

Chapter 46 Accident or plotting

Ophelia stepped out of the restroom, wiping her hands with a silken handkerchief when her gaze froze.Across the hallway, partially hidden by a decorative column, stood Alexander and Hannah, chatting quietly. His expression, though faintly tired, was open and relaxed. He leaned in slightly as Hannah said something, and he chuckled.Ophelia’s steps halted. This scene…it was painfully familiar.In her previous life, around this exact time at the banquet, she had searched the yacht’s decks and lounges endlessly just to find him. Every time, he wasn’t where he said he’d be. Instead, she’d find him exactly like this—with Hannah.And every time she’d see them together, her stomach had twisted.Back then, Wren would find her standing alone by the railing, humiliated and anxious, and had smirked as she delivered her venomous words.“Maybe you should learn to see them together. Alexander clearly prefers people who don’t whine or cling. Look at them, don’t you feel stupid chasing someone who’s a

Chapter 47 Accusation and proof

She remembered the last life too vividly, how everything had fallen apart after Marcus’s disappearance. Just like now, Susan and many other guests blamed her.Back then, when the accusations against Ophelia first surfaced, only her parents, Philip and Sandra were among the few who stood firmly by her side. They defended her with unwavering conviction, insisting she could never have harmed Marcus, a boy she had grown up with and who had trusted her completely.But Susan still refused to see reason. The atmosphere turned hostile quickly, and the blame began to settle on Ophelia’s shoulders.Despite their efforts, Philip and Sandra’s support did little to stop the wave of suspicion. The Gray family went against her. They launched relentless interrogations masked as concerned interventions, stripping Ophelia of her dignity and making her feel like a criminal among those she once called family. She was no longer a daughter, a friend, or a loved one, just a problem to be solved.Through it a

Chapter 48 She's in control

As the explicit video continued playing, Alexander stepped in and swiftly turned off Ophelia’s phone, not to protect Austin Cooper, but to shield Ophelia from the fallout of airing something so scandalous in public. He didn't want her dignity dragged into the dirt in front of so many people.But Ophelia didn’t appreciate the gesture.Her expression turned sharp as she reached out and snatched the phone from his hand.“Don’t ever snatch my phone like that again. You don’t get to decide what I show or hide.”The onlookers fell silent, stunned by her tone she used on him wondering when the famous loving couple turned into enemies.Alexander stared at her, though he didn’t believe she had harmed Marcus, the poise with which she handled the accusations made him uneasy. There was something unnervingly distant in her demeanor, something that made him feel as if he no longer knew the girl he once held so tightly.Just as Ophelia was about to speak again, a new presence entere who was Austin Co

Chapter 49 Complicated Jealousy

Marcus’s sudden appearance at the edge of the crowd sent ripples of shock. His shirt was slightly wrinkled, hair damp from the sea breeze, but he looked otherwise unharmed.“Marcus! Oh my God, Marcus!” Nancy threw her arms around her son, she broke down completely, sobbing into his shoulder. “I thought you were—I thought we lost you…”Marcus wrapped his arms around her gently. “I’m okay, Mom.” He stroked her back, speaking softly, but his eyes had already moved over her shoulder, to the woman standing behind.Ophelia stood as calm as ever, arms folded, her gaze fixed forward as if the drama hadn’t just shifted in her favor.Alexander, standing a short distance away, narrowed his eyes at their exchange and the unease in his chest only deepened.Alexander’s brows were furrowed. “What the hell is going on? Was this some kind of act?”Marcus’s face remained composed, though a flicker of guilt danced in his eyes. “Not an act but…not what you think either.”“Where did you disappear? Everyone

Chapter 50 Family if snakes

All eyes stayed on Marcus as he took a breath and began to speak not with hesitation but with deliberate calm.“I knew someone would try to kill me on that yacht. There had been signs for weeks. Subtle warnings, whispers I picked up during private meetings. I didn’t know exactly who, but I was sure that if I didn’t act first, I wouldn’t survive this time. I didn't tell you all because I don't want to worry you.”Grandma’s eyes narrowed. “You mean to say you anticipated your own attempted murder?”Marcus nodded. “Yes. That’s why I crafted a plan in advance. I arranged for a professional—someone with my build and trained. He's a swimmer. He boarded the yacht hours before anyone else and disguised himself as crew. When the time was right, I brought him to the third floor.”“You were seen going there with Ophelia,” Nancy recalled. “Some said it was suspicious.”“Oh, that's why you were stubborn about going there,” Ophelia let out.Marcus glanced at Ophelia with faint amusement. “It was int
