Chapter 264 To Win Without Lifting a Finger
The incident involving Magnus's misconduct was still fermenting online. Tobias had once again fabricated some things to frame Magnus.
If it weren't for Finnegan's protection, the police would have already come and taken Magnus away for investigation. Magnus didn't want to hide here; he wanted to go back and settle things with Tobias. Ophe wouldn't let him go and insisted that he stay here for now. Magnus looked up and saw Ophe descending the staircase.
He said, "Ophe, I think I should go back first. It's not a solution to keep hiding here."
"You can only wait here for now," Ophe said. "Wait for two more days. Consider it a break for yourself."
Magnus asked in confusion, "Wait for what?"
"Wait for your mother to come looking for you," Ophe said frankly. "Wait for Finnegan's people to return from Tobias's hometown and wait for me to gather all the evidence."
"She won't come," Magnus said mockingly. "They stand together. My father has enslaved my mother for decades. My father actually bought her back."
"Is it true?" Ophe felt surprised and somewhat excited. She considered, 'If it's true, it will be even more advantageous for Magnus. As long as Tobias's act of selling his children and buying a wife is exposed, the online discussions will surely turn in Magnus's favor, and public opinion will be entirely on his side.'
Magnus nodded. "I found out recently. We argued that day, and that's when I heard it from my father himself. He bought back my mother for four hundred and sixty dollars." He had found it difficult to bring up this matter before, so he didn't tell Ophe.
Ophe asked, "Magnus, have you thought it through? When the time comes, I'll have all the evidence ready, and you'll have a falling out with them. You can't be so soft. You should go back to being yourself."
Ophe meant that after Magnus had fallen out with them, he should not contacted Riley or Serenity. If he got involved with them, there would definitely be more problems because behind these two are Jett and Tobias, the two parasites.
Magnus understood what Ophe meant, but he couldn't help it. "Ophe, Serenity is a good kid. She's still young. If she grows up in that family, her life will be ruined." Magnus still couldn't bear it. "They have oppressed Riley for many years. If she's willing to follow me, I will still support her."
sighed. Magnus's softness was his fatal flaw. Serenity was innocent, but as long as Jett was around, she couldn't escape. If Magnus wanted to take care of her, he would definitely be under Jett's control. As for Riley, Ophe didn't think she was innocent. She watched her children being sold time and time again. At that moment, Riley must have had many opportunities to protect her children. However, Riley didn't stop them and allowed them to harm Magnus when Tobias and Jett conspired to frame Magnus.
How could Riley be innocent?
"Ophe." Finnegan descended the staircase. "Do you want to go to the Sakura restaurant today? I'll take you." Finnegan had just heard the conversation between the two, and he knew that Magnus's weakness was his emotions and softness. The current situation was also a result of Magnus's softness. Magnus still hadn't fully awakened, so this fire on the internet needed to be fueled.
"Sure, Granny made another appointment with me today. She said she's bringing a cameraman and wants to shoot a promotional video for the restaurant," Ophe said. "She is into live streaming now."
"It's good for her to find something to do. It helps with her condition," Finnegan replied.
Dementia in old age required the elders to be in a good mood.
Ophe and Finnegan left together. They instructed Magnus to stay at home and not go anywhere.
Once they were out, Ophe said to Finnegan, "With Magnus's personality, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay put."
Finnegan smiled and said, "You came out on purpose to give him a chance to go out, didn't you?"
Ophe glanced at him and smiled. "There's nothing that escapes you. He won't wake up until he fully recognizes reality. I wonder how you became so clever."
Finnegan responded, "With both of us being so smart, our baby is bound to be intelligent."
"Our little lucky star has an advantage right from the start. As long as he's not a spendthrift, he will have an effortless life. It's all thanks to having a wealthy father like you," Ophe concluded. "So, when looking for a man, women need to keep their eyes wide open. It's not just about finding a man; it's about finding a father for their child."
