Chapter 1402 Backstabbing
The idea took root in Ophelia’s mind. It consumed all her thoughts until it became impossible to ignore. She needed a way to make Noah harbor genuine reservations about Wynter.
Ophelia had always hesitated to play the villain. But she could no longer hold back when she heard that Wynter was planning to involve Cyrus in the stock market.
Ophelia’s words were carefully chosen. “Noah, I’m not entirely sure what Wynter is thinking. Could it be that she’s acting on impulse, just like her father did back then? Is she dragging people along without much thought?
“Of course, Wynter isn’t as calculating as Shane. But real estate and the stock market are said to be a part of a bubble economy.
“The Whitman family didn’t build its fortune on these industries. Wynter doesn’t have experts by her side, and for her to rush into this… I’m really concerned.”
Ophelia looked up and added, “Darling, you know better that these are two different businesses. If
anything goes wrong, it’ll be Cyrus who takes the blame, not Wynter. Whether it’s financial issues or any mistakes he might make…”
⚫ She gritted her teeth before continuing, “I don’t want Cyrus to become a scapegoat. You ended up
carrying Shane’s debts for years, and I don’t want our son to suffer the same fate.”
“There’s no such thing as taking on someone else’s debts in a business partnership,” Noah finally spoke He fixed his gaze on Ophelia, and his thoughts were inscrutable. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Ophelia’s expression soured. “Of course you don’t mind because you’re doing it for your sister. But Cyrus is my son! I won’t just stand by and watch him get into any kind of danger.”
Cyrus is the Whitman family’s eldest son and heir, not someone from the Quinnells.

This wasn’t something Ophelia would think about previously. However, after watching that video, a deep sense of unease had been growing within her, urging her to take action.
In the past, she had indeed agreed to let the Montclair family oversee Cyrus‘ education.
After all, Tamia had warned her that if Cyrus grew too close to the Whitmans when he was young, he might end up like Noah. He would be focused solely on work and neglecting familial bonds with the Montclairs.
At that time, Ophelia had her reservations but didn’t think much of them. She simply agreed with whatever Tamia said. But now, things were different as she felt threatened.
Noah placed his tailored suit on the couch as he listened to Ophelia. He contemplated for a moment before saying, “It’s understandable that you have these concerns. But now isn’t the right time for Cyrus to back out. Let him establish those connections first.”
Noah glanced at their wedding photo before continuing, “We can have him step back when it’s time to invest. That way, he won’t appear as if he didn’t help Wynter at all.”
Ophelia’s eyes lit up at this. Why hadn’t she thought of that? Having Cyrus withdraw too early would make their family seem heartless, especially since the domestic goods trend was still going strong.
Cyrus needed to ride this wave of popularity a bit longer. He could gain the older generation’s favor if he stayed by Wynter’s side for a few more days.
Ophelia visibly brightened. “You’re so thoughtful, darling.”

She opened her arms as if to embrace him, but Noah stepped back. “Let’s eat first. I’m starving, and I still need to head back to the office after our meal.”
“Alright, let’s eat. I had Ms. Virelle prepare your favorite fish.”
Ophelia truly was the epitome of a perfect wife and mother. With her managing the household, everything was always in perfect order. Whether it was Noah’s meals or needs, she always had them prepared in advance.
That was why their relationship had remained strong over the years.
