Chapter 1558 A Mere Stepping Stone
As long as she could see Cyrus, Ophelia believed he would soften upon seeing her in this
state. After all, blood was thicker than water. No child would truly abandon their mother, and especially not Cyrus!Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As his mother, Ophelia understood Cyrus well.
However, Rosalyn shook her head after hearing her plea. "Ophelia, I might try to help you if you ask me to arrange a meeting with Noah. But if you want me to bring Cyrus out, the Whitman family might hold me accountable.
"I'm not going to do something so foolish, and I advise you not to use your child like that. You'll only make the Whitman family feel that keeping you in Hawford is trouble."
Rosalyn was a smart woman, even if her words were blunt. She had no intention of continuing her association with Ophelia.
Rosalyn couldn't even manage her own husband. She was not in the mood to take care of someone else's problem.
There was no chance that one would be invited back in once they were chased out of a circle. Ophelia was exposed to a malice she had never experienced before.
She had lost everything-except for mountains of debt and the occasional whisper, "She's probably sick in her head. Why would she divorce someone like Noah?"
"You have no idea how she was all about 'empowerment' just a few days ago. She was saying that divorce was the best choice. We all believed her and thought Noah had really wronged her, but she played us all for fools."
"She should've divorced him long ago. She had never been good enough for Noah."
"She used drugs to climb her way up but still had the audacity to be on the same table as us. Who gave her that confidence?"
Ophelia wanted to block out the voices, but they seemed to come from all directions. Her phone rang again—it was another debt reminder. She hadn't even had breakfast, and now she didn't know where she would sleep tonight.
But despite everything, Ophelia's mind remained fixated on contacting Cyrus. To her, Cyrus was merely her stepping stone to escape her miserable situation.
Yet, Wynter would never give her that chance, and Cyrus was no longer the same person he used to be.
When he learned that Ophelia was trying to reach out to him, he transferred her a sum of money, followed by a short message. "I know I'm nothing more than an ATM to you now. This is the first and last time."
Ophelia didn't care about the message. She was happy as long as there was money in her
account! Cyrus was still her son after all. Once she spent this money, she was sure she could get more next time.
But her real goal wasn't just the money. She needed to use Cyrus to reconnect with Noah.
As for Wynter, she could sell her some information, perhaps about the shared interests between the Montclair and Wray families, or why that man had once needed the Wray family so much. There was also the role Yvette had played in all this.
Not to mention the fact that it wasn't just the aristocratic families in Hawford - there was also a deeper connection to Kingbourne. If not for that man in Kingbourne, these families would never have been so united.
This was the kind of information that only insiders knew, and no matter how skilled Wynter was, she might never uncover it on her own!
Meanwhile, at the laboratory school, Eliana had finally made up her mind and returned to the principal's office.
"Mr. Valencia, you can contact them now. I'm willing to go."
Gideon's face lit up with a smile. "You should've agreed earlier. You have no idea how much your life will change after this! Alright, you don't need to attend any more classes now. I'll take you there right away."
"Right now? Isn't that a bit rushed?" Eliana frowned, her sense of unease deepening.
