Chapter 238 Cutting the Video
Lynn edited the footage of her seducing Finnegan the previous day, as well as his words.
For example, when Finnegan said, "I think you misunderstood," it was directly edited to say, "I miss you."
These words, along with the video of Lynn holding Finnegan's neck as they lay on the bed, created an explosive scene.
This time, Ophe finally lost her composure. She was in chaos when she watched the video.
Lynn continued to taunt her, "He came to the hotel yesterday to see me. He didn't tell you about it, did he? After I went to the sushi restaurant to find you, he came to see me right away. What does that mean? Do I even need to say it?"
Ophe started shaking, fueled by anger.
She knew Finnegan visited Lynn yesterday.
Ophe didn't say anything and turned to ascend the staircase.
As Ophe walked away, Lynn wore a triumphant smile.
At Abbott's Corporation, Finnegan was distracted and worried about Ophe.
"CEO Abbott's." Atticus knocked on the door and entered. "The car is ready."
Finnegan was going out to the neighboring city. "Great, have Linda keep an eye on Rose Garden," he said.
Atticus needed clarification. "Rose Garden?"
"Orchid Garden changed its name to Rose Garden," Finnegan replied. This time, he would return at least past midnight.
Atticus laughed. "I'll inform Linda right away."
Before Finnegan left, he messaged Ophe: [I'm going to the neighboring city. I will be back late in the evening; there is no need to wait for me.]
Ophe didn't reply and even felt a bit angry upon reading the message. However, she didn't ask about the video or what happened with Lynn.
Without receiving a reply, Finnegan also felt uneasy.
Celia soon learned about Lynn moving to Rose Garden.
Celia happily went to Rose Garden and was surprised to see that even the names at the neighborhood's entrance had changed.
Celia asked the security guard at the entrance, "When did they change the name? Why did they change it?"
The security guard replied, "This was Finnegan's decision. It changed this morning."
Celia entered the neighborhood. Even though she and Finnegan did not get along, it was impossible not to let her in, especially since Finnegan was absent today.
Ophe was resting upstairs, unable to fall back asleep. Hearing the commotion downstairs, she went down to see Celia and Lynn having a cheerful conversation.
With her hand holding Lynn's, Celia said, "I knew it, you and Abbott's Family are meant to be. Finnegan still can't forget about you. Back then, it was my foolishness that separated you two. In the end, I realized you were the right one for him. You are the most suitable to be my daughter-in-law."
Naturally, Celia intentionally said these words.
Listening to it, Lynn found it somewhat ironic. Of course, she also knew that Celia was putting on an act.
Ophe stood at the staircase, watching the two downstairs talking and laughing. Suddenly, she understood why Lynn had come back so abruptly.
Celia had indeed put in a lot of effort to break her and Finnegan apart. She even called back the person she used to dislike, Lynn.
Celia noticed Ophe and immediately frowned. "Ophe, why don't you greet me? You don't even have the basic courtesy. Do you have no manners?"
Ophe was in a bad mood and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm an orphan. No one taught me."
Celia seemed dissatisfied. "I really don't understand what Finnegan sees in you. You don't know the rules, nor do you respect your elders. While Finnegan is out there earning money, you're enjoying a life of luxury at home, acting like a wealthy madam."
Ophe walked over to the sofa in the living room and sat down. "Respect between people goes both ways."
Celia was infuriated, gritting her teeth. Lynn felt an indescribable satisfaction as she watched Ophe's reply to Celia.
When facing Celia, she didn't dare speak like that, even though she resented Celia for hurting her before. Yet, she still didn't dare to intensify her words.
Celia sneered. "You have a sharp tongue. Now that Lynn is back, Ophe, I don't need to say anything more. You've seen it yourself. If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to cling on still."
Ophe picked up an apple and casually took a bite, about to say something. Lina brought a portion of pasta with truffles over and said, "Mrs. Abbott's, please eat it. Pasta with truffles is good for the baby in your belly. The baby's skin will be fair when it's born."
Ophe replied, "Okay, thank you, Lina."
However, Celia lost her composure when she heard Ophe was pregnant. "You're pregnant?"
