Chapter 188 Cecily was Looking forward to the Engagement Ceremony.
At that moment, Tristan walked in with big strides. "Ophelia."
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? Did we receive news from Fitzgerald's Family?"
Tristan nodded. "Yes."
Ophelia's hand clenched on the blanket as she cautiously asked, "Did Darian get the results of the paternity test?"
"Yes, he did," Tristan said directly.
Ophelia's body visibly trembled, and her face immediately turned dark. Her voice was filled with disappointment as she asked, "Did Darian find out?"
"The result of the test shows that the child is not Darian's!"
"What?" Ophelia suddenly raised her head, disbelieving. "How is that possible?"
"Did you guys do anything?" Ophelia asked urgently.
Tristan shook his head. "No, we didn't even have a chance to act."
Tabitha also expressed her surprise. "Tristan, is the information accurate? It can't be fake, right?"
"The information is accurate. If Darian knew the child was his, how could Fitzgerald's Family be so calm right now?"
Ophelia anxiously got off the sickbed and asked, "So you're saying this is true?"
"Yes."
A hint of confusion flashed through Ophelia's eyes. "How is that possible? We didn't do anything, so who did? Who tampered with it?"
Tristan was also puzzled. "I don't know, but the test results show that there is no biological relationship."
Tabitha speculated, "Could it be that those two children are not Darian's? Maybe Cecily really cheated on him and got pregnant with someone else. Otherwise, there's no one else apart from us who would have changed the results."
Ophelia's face stiffened for a few seconds.
She had no idea what was going on.
This matter was too bizarre.
However, upon closer thought, she burst into laughter and instantly regained her energy. "Regardless of everything else, as long as Darian doesn't know about this, it's fine. This should be enough to dispel his doubts. It's truly a godsend for me."
"Mom, what was the other thing you mentioned just now?"
With Ophelia's reminder, Tabitha remembered what she was going to share and happily said to Ophelia, "Ophelia, Owen announced to the media this morning that as soon as you recover from your injuries, he will arrange for you and Darian to officially get engaged. The engagement banquet is already being prepared, and it was all Owen's idea."
A gleam of excitement sparkled in Ophelia's eyes as she tightly grasped Tabitha's hand. "Mom, is it true? Is it really true? Did Owen actually say that?"
"Yes, it's true, Ophelia. I told you that as long as Owen is around, he won't let Darian go astray. This marriage is now set in stone." Tabitha was overjoyed.
Ophelia's entire gloomy expression was replaced by surprise. "This is simply wonderful. And Darian, what's his attitude?"
"That's still unclear for now, but after all, Owen is Darian's grandfather. Darian can't go against Owen's decision. And besides, the paternity test has proven that he has no connection with those two children. He should also let go of that despicable woman, Cecily." Tabitha almost burst into laughter, her whole demeanor becoming confident.
After repressing their emotions for so many days, they finally made it through.
Although they didn't achieve their original purpose and didn't gain any benefits, the current outcome was not bad either.
Ophelia was thrilled, but when she thought of Darian's attitude, she couldn't help but feel a chill.
She knew Darian well. At that time, he was really furious with her, genuinely wanting to send her to prison.
At that time, if it weren't for Owen holding her back, she wouldn't be feeling so good right now.
Now, she had to see what Darian's attitude was.
His attitude was the most important.
"All right, Ophelia, now that this matter has been settled, you can focus on recovering from your injuries and not worry about anything else. Just wait patiently to become his bride."
Ophelia smiled lightly, "Although you say that, I'm afraid Darian might not be willing..."
"Don't be afraid, you and Darian grew up together, I refuse to believe that he has no feelings for you."
Ophelia thought about it and realized it was true.
Darian was just angry at the time.
Once his anger subsided, and with Owen present, this matter was already determined.
Mrs. Fitzgerald must be her!
Ophelia took a deep breath, feeling her breath flow freely.
"Mom, help me onto the wheelchair."
"Where are you going?"
"I want that person to know about this good news."
Tabitha immediately understood Ophelia's meaning, "You're right, she's been happy for so long, it's time for us to be happy too."
Tabitha pushed Ophelia outside of Rowan's room.
However, they were stopped by the bodyguards at the door.
Hearing the noisy voices at the door, Cecily, who was feeding Rowan soup, frowned slightly.
As soon as she heard those two annoying voices, Cecily knew who had come.
Cecily continued to feed Rowan unperturbed.
Rowan's eyes slowly looked toward the door, "Mommy..."
"Don't mind them."
Cecily finished feeding Rowan the porridge before walking out. These two people were also persistent. The bodyguards wouldn't let them in, but they didn't leave either.
Seeing Cecily come out, the expressions on the faces of the two immediately became arrogant.
Ophelia raised her chin and looked at the cold Cecily, her lips curled coldly as she smiled, "Cecily, have you read the latest news from the Fitzgerald Family?"
Cecily arched her eyebrow slightly. She had also glanced at the online news and roughly understood why she had come.
"Are you here to show off?"
Ophelia smirked, "I just wanted to tell you that even if Darian knows I'm the killer in his heart, so what? He will still marry me, and I still beat you. You will always be my defeated subordinate."
Cecily casually let her gaze fall on Ophelia's thigh, "It seems like the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough."
"You!" Ophelia instinctively pulled her injured legs close to her. The piercing pain she experienced that day seemed to come back again, causing her body to tremble.
Ophelia stared angrily at Cecily. "Don't get too excited. Let me tell you, someday, I will return all the injuries I have suffered to you."
"You've said that so many times, but in the end, it's always you who gets hurt."
Ophelia clenched her teeth and forced a cold smirk. "I came here today to tell you that I am going to get engaged to Darian soon. I hope you will come to the engagement ceremony and witness my happiness."
She wanted Cecily to see her marrying Darian with her own eyes.
Cecily's lips curved into a mocking smile.
Happiness?
Could she make Ophelia happy?
If, on the day of the engagement ceremony, Darian received a certain result, could they still be happy together?
Cecily looked at Ophelia's face, brimming with pride at the moment.
She wondered if Ophelia would still be able to have that expression on her face on that day.
Cecily was looking forward to it.
