Chapter 278

Tears streamed down Lisa's face, and Ophelia turned her head away, refusing to look.

"Take care." With those words, she took Scott and left without looking back.

Watching her leave, Lisa's worry mounted as she stomped her feet.

"What are we going to do now? Con, Liam, think of something! Say something!" Lisa pinched Liam's arm.

Liam winced in pain, his eyebrows knitting together as he watched the pair not yet at the door, so he quickly

caught up. "Ms. Spencer, where are you going? Letdrive you."

"No need, thank you, Liam." Ophelia thanked him, opting not to use Kenneth's car but called for an Uber instead.

She and Scott got into the car, each on one side. The car slowly drove away from Rosewood Manor, the hillside

villa.

Liam watched the car until it disappeared from view before taking out his phone to make a call. "Mr. Sinclair, Ms.

Spencer..... she's moved out of Roseerood Manor."

"Where did she move to?" Kenneth's voice on the other end of the phone was calm and hard to read.

"I'm not completely sure." He had tried to offer her a ride just to figure out where they were going. But Ophelia

was as sharp as Kenneth, making it impossible to have someone follow them. Liam said, "She didn't take

anything with her." Just like when she first cto Rosewood Manor.

In the car, Scott was dressed in a sky-blue tracksuit, his buzzed hair a little longer. His deep brown eyes darted

around, occasionally sneaking a look at Ophelia beside him, looking a bit cautious.

He wasn't sure if his being there was causing her any trouble. "Ophelia, where... are we going?"

Ophelia withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Scott sitting upright next to her, a little uneasy. She

had actually forgotten to tell him. "We're moving to a new home, and we won't be living here anymore."

Scott put his hands on his knees and nodded, his expression somewhat awkward.

"What's wrong?" Ophelia asked.

"Ophelia, am | causing you trouble? If I..."

"What are you saying! You're my only family, how could you be a bother! But for now, try to stay in. I'm already

contacting a school for you, so you'll be able to start school soon. Letknow if you need anything. I'll also

cback early on weekends."

As she spoke, she went over, linked her arm through his, and squeezed his arm. "Well, not bad, you're getting

smuscles." "I've been working out on my own." Scott said with a touch of pride. His sister praised him.

Sunlight filtered through the car window, casting a glow on the boy. Scott's emotions were written all over his

face.

Watching him like this, Ophelia felt herself becoming much simpler too. It was rare to be able to let her guard

down and drop the facade in front of him.

Chapter 278

The third phase of Jumeir Apartment was a series of mid-rise buildings, housing more residents than the earlier

phases, with buildings positioned fairly close together. Each floor had two apartments.

It was rush hour, so there was a lot of foot traffic. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Ophelia nearly collided

with someone waiting to get in.

"Sorry about that," ca cheerful male voice from above her.

"It's fine." Ophelia replied, her gaze drifting away without properly looking at the person in front of her, focusing

instead on finding the apartment number.

"Are you the new neighbor?" The man asked again. Noting that either of them responded, he offered a friendly

hint. "It's probably this way; that side is my place."

Ophelia finally lifted her head to get a better look at the person speaking.

The man was wearing a dark blue plaid suit. He looked to be in his thirties, very gentlemanly, but with a shrewd

look typical of businessmen in his eyes. That kind of look was common in the business world. She nodded at the

man and walked past him with Scott.

Just then, the elevator arrived again. The man nodded back at her and stepped into it.

There wasn't much interaction, and the man didn't try to be overly friendly, which Ophelia liked. Once everything

was settled, she would also need to head to the office.

| have someone cby to look after you." Ophelia said just before heading out.

Scott initially wanted to say that he could take care of himself. But on second thought, he decided not to trouble

Ophelia. As long as she's okay with it, hiring a housekeeper would be fine. Shortly after Ophelia left, a middle-

aged woman claiming to be a housekeeper rang the doorbell.
