Despite her urgency, Ophelia maintained her calm exterior. She was very displeased with Mathias. 'Am I not allowed to cby myself?" "Of course you are. I spoke out of turn. It's just that Mr. Reuben just left, and I was concerned you might cin vain,' Mathias spoke respectfully.

Ophelia knew she hadn't handled her own matters well, but she wasn't foolish enough to cause trouble for a mere butler. She only wanted to see Marie as soon as possible to discuss urgent matters. It was even more perfect with Reuben away.

"This is my own home. There's no such thing as coming in vain." Ophelia glanced at him. "Where's Marie?" Mathias paused for a moment, his eyes lowering as if he was suppressing something. However, he still responded respectfully, "Ms. Whitman is in the kitchen preparing traditional medicine. I can take you to her." Ophelia waved her hand dismissively. "Go back to your duties. I'll go to her myself." Her steps quickened as she headed toward the kitchen. It was only a few feet away, and upon reaching the doorway, she called out, "Marie. You still look the safter all these years. It's truly enviable." Marie turned her head over her shoulder upon hearing her name. 'Oh, it's you, Ophelia. You flatter me. Are you here to see Dad? He just went out for a walk." Ophelia shook her head. "I'm not here for Dad. I cto see you. It's been so long since we've last met. As your sister-in-law, I figured I should make tto visit you as soon as I heard you were back." As she spoke, her eyes landed on the stove where a pot of traditional medicine was brewing. A flicker of disdain crossed her face. In her eyes, such tasks were meant for the maids.

She assumed Marie was doing this as she hadn't yet won Reuben's forgiveness, and this bolstered Ophelia's confidence.

Ophelia took Marie's hand. "Marie, let's go sit down and chat for a bit. Forget I'm your sister-in-law for a moment. We're still best friends, after all." Marie's eyes sharpened slightly as she observed Ophelia's demeanor. It was obvious she had ulterior motives behind her visit.

As their conversation led them to the seating area, they sat side by side Ophelia poured a cup of tea for Marie before starting her speech. "Marie, do you know how it is to be married into the Whitman family? "It looks so glamorous from the outside. I could buy whatever I want and do whatever I please. But there's always something missing inside.

"Especially after Cyrus was born, I've been running around trying to manage everything. This whole household is practically held together by me."

Marie gently patted Ophelia's back. 'I understand, Ophelia. It hasn't been easy for you all these years. Noamis 65sy with the company, and he doesn't have much tfor you. Don't take it to heart, we're all family." Seeing that her words were having the desired effect, Ophelia pressed on and seized the opportunity. "Marie, you know how it is. Noah and I only have Cyrus. It's natural for us to want to give him the best and help him avoid unnecessary hardships.

"I've been so tied up with family matters. I cover to take care of Dad whenever I have the chance, giving him massages and talking with him.

"Over the years, I've been trying to tell him it wasn't your fault, that you're her daughter and nyone that 'veaway can deny that I've always tried to help ease the tension. But no matter how hard I try, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Marie, I've really tried my best. Maire offered a tissue to Ophelia for her tears. 'Ophelia, I know you've done a lot for the family and Noah. I understand you."

"I knew you'd understand me." Ophelia lifted her gaze. "Thend won't beat around the busk any longer, Marie. I wanted to talk to you about the piece of land Wynter secured...." X
