Chapter 1520 What the Montclairs Deserve
Tamia continued rebuking, "What's that video about? Did Noah learn the truth earlier and make preparations?
"The only thing you're good at is crying! If you can't secure the Whitmans' shares, you might as well be useless in the next life!"
The sharp words pierced Ophelia's heart, leaving her feeling cold and heavy with grievances.
Ignoring her distress, Tamia pressed on, "How did that video get out? Why is it still around after all these years? Is this Noah's way of dealing with you? Doesn't he care about Cyrus?" Overwhelmed by anguish, Ophelia couldn't find answers to any of those questions. Her WhatsApp was flooded with inquiries from her social circle regarding the video's authenticity. Their relentless questioning fueled her desire to destroy whoever leaked it.
"What good does scolding me do now, Mom? How was I to know an old video would resurface? Before Cyrus' birth, Noah did treat me..." Ophelia abruptly stopped her defense. She suddenly recalled that Noah hadn't been around much after their wedding.
One day, she went to his room while he was drinking. Noah had been young back then, and he appeared uncomfortable.
He looked at her calmly and said, "Don't think I don't know how we ended up together. But you're my wife, and I'll treat you with respect. There won't be another woman, but I warn you-keep those thoughts away from the Whitman family."
Ophelia had been frightened and struggled to find sleep that night. When she saw Noah back to his normal self the next day, she assumed he had been spewing nonsense while intoxicated. Now that she reflected on it, she wondered if he had known the truth all along.
Ophelia's face instantly paled. Although Noah had treated her well throughout their marriage, she had never truly felt his love. There were moments when she had even loathed him, which was why she followed Tamia's advice.
If Noah had already discovered the truth yet only chose to reveal the video now, he was undoubtedly terrifying!Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"They're monsters! The entire Whitman family and Sevie are all monsters!" Ophelia suddenly shrieked.
Tamia had little time for her outburst. She had spent a great deal of effort to seek benefits from the Whitman family. Yet, not only had she lost the Whitmans' shares, but Cyrus- whom she had painstakingly raised-no longer listened to her.
Under normal circumstances, Ophelia would have secured a substantial amount of wealth after a normal divorce. Even if she couldn't claim the shares, the Whitman family would never mistreat her as she was Cyrus' mother.
But things had changed. Noah, who was usually docile and never spoke up against Tamia, had secretly transferred his shares.
Tamia gripped her cane tightly. 40 years of scheming had led to nothing. Not only had she failed to gain anything from the Whitmans, but Ophelia's divorce had also exposed the Montclairs' dark secrets.
In a complete breakdown, Tamia roared, "What is the PR department doing? Where are the Montclairs' legal representatives? The family is in crisis! Why haven't they stepped up to take legal action?"
Little did she know that no one at the Montclair Group was willing to heed her commands any longer. The company was in utter chaos, perhaps even worse off than the Wrays.
