Chapter 179 Darian Explained and Got Hit
"Let go."
Darian's cold face remained dark, and his gloomy eyes showed no warmth.
"No, Darian, please don't reject me. I can't live without you, Darian..."
"Call off the engagement or go to jail. Pick one."
Ophelia's heart trembled violently, and her hands holding Darian's sleeves refused to let go.
She slowly looked up at Darian, her tear-filled eyes slightly trembling under the light. She bit her pale lips and said, "Darian, do you have to be so cruel to me?"
Darian responded with a cold gaze, "Who did cruel things first? Time and time again, Ophelia, you've done enough!"
Darian angrily pushed away her hand.
Ophelia's hand dropped suddenly, and she suddenly understood that this man had a cold personality.
All his previous kindness toward her was accompanied by guilt and tolerance.
Once the guilt wore off, there was no tolerance left.
She used to think that Darian treated her differently from other women, but now she understands that he treats her the same way he treats other women.
However, what should she do?
She clearly knew all this, but everything about Darian still fascinated her.
She couldn't let go. She couldn't possibly let Cecily return to Darian's side.
Darian must be hers, and the position of Mrs. Fitzgerald must also be hers.
She lifted her chin slightly and looked into Cecily's eyes filled with hatred.
Cecily stood coldly, not responding with a glance.
She knew that Ophelia had the backing of the Flores family, and it wouldn't be easy to deal with her. Even if she were sent to prison, the Flores family would find a way to get her out.
She had seen enough of the drama here and didn't want to watch anymore. Cecily said politely to Sandra, who was sitting beside her, then turned and left Fitzgerald's household.
Darian frowned slightly as he watched Cecily's figure leave.
Ophelia nodded to herself, raised her head slightly, choked with tears, and said, "Darian, I know you are angry now. I know you are just saying things in anger. It's okay. Let's all calm down. I'll... go first..."
"Mom and Dad, let's go first."
After speaking, Ophelia began to leave Fitzgerald's Family in a daze.
Sandra saw this and furrowed her brows. "Darian, isn't this too much?"
"Mum, that kid almost lost her life. Do you think this punishment is too much for her?"
Sandra sighed, "It's not excessive."
Even sending her to prison would not be excessive.
She had previously said she could tolerate some of Ophelia's scheming, but she didn't expect her to be so malicious, wanting to kill Rowan directly.
Not only that, she even dared to plot against Darian. Was this love? This was clearly selfishness.
She couldn't tolerate such a selfish person becoming her family.
'How terrifying.'
'What if in the future something didn't go along with her wishes and she ended up getting killed too?' Sandra thought.
Just the thought of it was terrifying.
Darian glanced at the door and walked out briskly.
Cecily had come here in Darian's car, so now she could only take a taxi to go back.
"I'll drive you."
Hearing Darian's voice behind her, Cecily turned around and glanced at Darian, asking calmly, "Have you sorted everything out?"
Darian nodded, "There were a lot of interests involved between the Fitzgerald Family and the Flores family, but this matter with Ophelia ends here."
Cecily smiled, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness, "I understand. You've done enough for Rowan, thank you."
Darian furrowed his brow, "I have raised Rowan for five years. It's only right that I do these things for him. You don't need to thank me."
"Okay, noted," replied Cecily, her voice cold and distant.
Darian's dark eyes showed displeasure, "Why are you speaking to me with such distance?"
Cecily smiled lightly.
They were simply the mother and father of the children and had no other relationship besides this unchangeable one. If it weren't for the two children, they probably would never have crossed paths in their lifetime. Keeping a distance was necessary.
Cecily's hired car had already stopped on the side of the road. Cecily glanced at Darian and calmly answered his question, "We never had much of a relationship to begin with. It's appropriate to keep some distance. My car has arrived so that I will leave first."
Darian furrowed his brow and took a step forward, ready to grab Cecily's hand.
Cecily got stopped by a branch hanging in front of her, and she raised her hand to pat it away.
"Snap." The branch bounced back, crossed over Cecily, and happened to hit Darian's face.
Darian took a sharp breath, and his expression immediately turned dark.
Cecily was startled, turning her head to look at Darian, his expression sour.
Cecily swore she did not do it on purpose. The branch seemed to have a mind of its own.
Seeing the red mark on Darian's handsome face, Cecily pulled at the corner of her lips, "Are you okay?"
Darian gritted his teeth, "What do you think?"
Cecily coughed lightly, realizing that it did sound painful.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to... Do you believe me?"
"Do you believe it yourself?"
"Yes, I do!"
Darian grabbed Cecily's arm, "Take responsibility for this."
Cecily froze.
Why should she take responsibility?
"Where are you taking me?"
Darian forcefully shoved Cecily into his car, and seeing his posture, Cecily quickly called her driver to let them know so that they wouldn't wait too long.
Ophelia's family hadn't left yet; watching the scene just now, Ophelia was so angry that she could bite her teeth. She wished she could tear Cecily apart.
"Cecily! Bitch! I'm going to kill her!"
Ophelia was going crazy at the moment.
Not only did she fail to kill Rowan, but she also brought their relationship closer. What's even worse was that the secret about the child was about to be revealed.
Ophelia really didn't know what to do at the moment.
Although Owen stepped in and saved her this time, Darian wanted to divorce her, and his attitude was very firm.
She had no power to resist.
Ophelia was anxious to the point of madness, but she was helpless. She could only lower her head and cry in pain.
Seeing her daughter's suffering, Tabitha and Tristan were also heartbroken.
"Mom and Dad, what should I do? How can I keep Darian? He's completely disgusted with me now."
Tristan and Tabitha were also extremely worried. They never expected things to turn out like this, and at the moment, they didn't have any useful solutions.
Tristan sighed, "Don't worry, Owen is back. He won't let Darian do as he pleases. Just wait patiently."
However, Ophelia didn't want to wait. If she waited any longer, Mrs. Fitzgerald's position would never be hers.
...
"Stop at the pharmacy ahead," Cecily turned her head and glanced at Darian's face.
The red marks on his face had swollen a bit, looking particularly prominent, but it didn't affect his handsomeness at all.
Darian kept a cold face and drove all the way. "Are you buying an ointment to appease me?"
"What else can I do? Should I ask you to hit me back?" Cecily raised an eyebrow.
"Do I lack the money for that ointment?"
