Chapter 71 Fight with the Mistress
The next day, Ophelia went to meet Cora during the noon break.
After sitting in the restaurant, Cora gave her the menu and said, "The set meal here is good. We can order one and talk over
lunch."
Ophelia refused, "Miss Fletcher, no need. In view of our relationship, I am afraid I have no appetite. So if you have anything, just
say it."
Cora snapped her fingers and threatened arrogantly, "I 'm pregnant with Zachariah's child and hope you will leave him. Feel free
to ask what you want."
Ophelia rebutted, "Are you really pregnant? How long have you been pregnant? Considering the time of your return, your child
may be someone else's."
Cora became sullen, and then sneered, "You are so clever, and I really lied to you. But I have had sex with Zachariah, so I think I
might be pregnant."
Ophelia listened to her quietly.
She wondered how Cora could be so high-profile as a mistress and even proud of it. As a well-educated wealthy lady, she was
actually ill-mannered. Since Zachariah still liked her, he was also a freak.
Then Ophelia answered back sarcastically, "I am also pregnant and couples are not allowed to divorce during pregnancy. Do you
want to be the mistress to destroy my family? You have received higher education. I think you will not do such an immoral thing.
".
Cora stared at her ferociously and cursed,
"Ophelia, you'd better get out of the Chambers Mansion wisely. Don't be thickskinned. Don't you think you are a contemptible
wretch?"
"I want to tell you this too," Ophelia talked back, "You are really a role model for all mistresses. But as the daughter of a powerful
family, are you not afraid to discredit your family?"
Cora gritted her teeth and said, "Don't call me that. I met Zachariah first and we almost got married. You are the other woman."
Ophelia smiled disdainfully, "You are a famous pianist anyway, so why are you so stupid? I doubt whether you know the law or
not. Zachariah and I have marriage certificates, and share property, which is protected by law. How could I be a mistress? How
about you explain it to me? "
Cora looked at her coldly, "Ophelia, don't force me."
Ophelia found her absurd. As the saying goes, "The villain brought suit against his victims".
She mocked, "Miss Fletcher, what you said is really funny. Obviously, it's you who are going too far in bullying me." Then she
continued, "I'll ask you a question. What was the purpose of your escape from marriage and your return now? What do you love
about Zachariah? "
Cora was dumbfounded by her questions.
"Miss Fletcher, let me ask you one more question. If the Chambers Group encounters an unprecedented economic crisis, will
you accompany him to share the ups and downs?" Ophelia questioned her again.
After Cora was taken aback for a moment, she sneered, "You don't bother to worry about this. Didn't you also marry him because
of his wealth? The Chambers family and the Fletcher family are evenly matched. If his family is in an economic crisis, my family
will definitely help them. My parents have only one child and they will never make me suffer, so your hypothesis fails. "
Ophelia shrugged and said, "Okay, I'm unreasonably worried. But you haven't answered me yet. What is the purpose of your
suddenly returning and relying on Zachariah? Don't tell me it's because of love. Only Zachariah would believe that, but I am not a
fool. "
"Of course, I came back because of loving him, and he also loves me. You have been the Young Mister of the Chambers family
for so long, so shouldn't you leave wisely?" Cora said.
"What if I say no?" Ophelia asked in reply.
Cora laughed confidently, "It's not up to you. Zachariah promised me last night that he would divorce you as soon as possible,
and he will never lie to me."
Ophelia retorted complacently, "Maybe you are going to be disappointed. Just now I asked him if he wanted a divorce, but he
said he hasn't decided yet. So, I'm still Mrs. Chambers, and you have to bear the infamy as a mistress."
Cora shouted angrily, "Impossible. He loves me and will marry me."
Ophelia shrugged indifferently, "Maybe he loved you very much four years ago, but your escape from marriage made him the
derision of high-society circles. Do you think a man can bear this humiliation? If he didn't retaliate against you, he would be very
kind enough. So I advise you not to feel too good about yourself. "
Cora became agitated, trembling all over,
"I did that for my future. He would understand, otherwise he would not wait for me for four years."
"Miss Fletcher, are you sure he has been waiting for you for four years? Then how can I become his wife? " asked Ophelia.
Cora glanced at her and suddenly remained calm. She disdained, "Men, especially an excellent man like Zachariah, have
physical needs, but I am not by his side. So it's understandable to have a woman solve it."
Ophelia thought she was irrational.
