All Chapters of Reborn: Leave Me Alone, Billionaire Ex: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The murmurs spread like wildfire through the room as all eyes slowly turned to Ophelia.Some guests whispered behind gloved hands, while others looked on with narrowed eyes torn between admiration and distrust. Her calm expression only seemed to heighten the mystery surrounding her.That’s when Isabella her chin raised in smug defiance. She couldn't see her mother getting accused.“Oh, please. How convenient that you just happened to be nearby with what, an antidote for sleeping pills. Do you expect us to believe you’re some kind of back-alley pharmacist now? Or maybe, this was your plan all along, stage the whole thing and make yourself look like a hero.”Susan, emboldened by her daughter’s boldness, stood as well, her expression grave yet theatrical.“Exactly. This entire scenario is far too timely. You inserted yourself in this mess from the beginning, Ophelia. You manipulated Marcus, fooled everyone, and now you’re basking in the spotlight, how clever. But this family has seen enou

Isabella, still recovering from the effects of the repellent, slumped against her mother’s shoulder, pale and shaking. But her pride, as always, burned stronger than her pain.“You think this makes you better than us for asking an apology?” she spat at Ophelia, voice raspy but full of venom. “You’re just a shameless snake, hiding behind fake perfumes and a sob story. We’re not apologizing to a manipulative freak like you!”The room stiffened with the weight of her words. A few guests gasped. Even Susan flinched at her daughter’s outburst.“Isabella!” Grandma yelled at her. “Have you learned nothing? Ophelia offered you a cure not out of kindness, but in return for a condition, an apology. And you spit in her face? You are arrogant, foolish, and short-sighted. Just like your mother.”Susan’s face turned crimson. “Mother, she’s just upset—”“Silence,” Grandma snapped, raising her hand.Susan froze mid-sentence.“You still haven’t answered properly for the accusations made against you,” t

Outside the grandmother’s suite, the heavy tension inside had not entirely dissipated. Marcus stepped out first, stretching his arms and letting out a light whistle to break the lingering heaviness. Just as he turned down the hall likely to go find Ophelia, Alexander emerged behind him.“Marcus,” Alexander’s voice called out to him. “We need to talk.”Marcus halted mid-step and turned around, giving his usual easygoing smile. “Sure, what about?”Alexander walked up to him with a sour face. “Don’t play dumb. You acted too fast inside. Like you knew exactly what was going to happen. How did you find out someone was trying to poison you?”Marcus blinked. “I already told everyone—I didn’t. I just noticed something weird when I started feeling dizzy. It was instinct.”Alexander’s gaze sharpened. “Don’t lie to me. You were too precise. You even had a tissue with the drugged wine prepared like you were expecting it. Who told you?”Marcus shrugged, his smile slipping just slightly. “Guess I go

As soon as they stepped into the living room, Ophelia barely had time to slip off her shoes when Wren was already there.Her eyes were red and puffy from the crying. She stormed forward and in her clenched fist was the necklace Ophelia had given her long ago.“I’m here to give it to you! Take it!” Wren cried out as she hurled the necklace at Ophelia’s feet. It hit the polished marble with a small clink before slithering to a halt.Ophelia didn’t even look down and simply stared at Wren silently.“Wren—” Hannah rushed over, grabbing Wren’s arm and whispering soothingly, “Don’t do this, sweetheart. Calm down.”“No!” Wren sobbed loudly, burying her face in her hands in despair. “Do you know what she did to me?! She humiliated me! In front of everyone! When I didn't even do anything! Is she my friend or enemy?!”Philip raised a brow and Sandra blinked, taken aback. “What is this about?”Hannah stepped in hesitantly. “There…was an incident. Before the yacht trip. Ophelia thought Wren took s

“Anyways, tell me the real reason you're here?”Alexander, leaning casually against the gazebo’s wooden post, looked completely unbothered by her sharpness. “I was waiting for you.”Her eyes narrowed instantly. “Waiting for me? How did you even know I’d be here today?”He shrugged as if the answer were obvious. “You’ve been coming here almost every day lately. I figured it had something to do with that perfume competition Bliss Enterprise just opened up.”“You're spying on me?” she asked coldly, each word heavy with accusation.He met her gaze, unflinching. “Not exactly. Marcus mentioned it. He said you were working on something important at your grandmother’s library. You’re just a bit later than usual today.”Ophelia inhaled sharply, her patience was thinning. Of course Marcus told him. She made a mental note to have words with him later.“Marcus needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut,” she muttered under her breath.Alexander took a step toward her. Immediately, she stepped back
