She thought to herself, how could Erie suspect that she was behind this sche.
Convinced that Erie had no suspicions, Ophelia casually chatted with her.
"Auntie, you seem to be in a good mood these days," Ophelia teased with a smile.
"Exactly," Erie perked up at the topic, "Let tell you, back in the day at ho, Benjamin went to work every day, and I felt bored during the day. Now it’s different, whenever I feel unwell, Benjamin stays with every day."
"That’s because uncle cares about you. You’re truly lucky to have found soone like him." Ophelia offered a complint.
Though she was inwardly full of disdain, wondering if Benjamin just didn’t want to go to work.
Probably too embarrassed to show up at work.
It’s not just Benjamin, even I’ve been avoiding public engagents lately whenever possible.
Erie’s scandal online hasn’t faded with ti; instead, the criticism has only intensified.
Having such an aunt is embarrassing just to go out in public.
Fortunately, her status in the entertainnt industry is stable, backed by the Wilson Clan, and she’s the future daughter-in-law and lady of the Seymour Family. Skipping a few engagents shouldn’t matter, even if she takes a long break, the company won’t complain.
Ophelia chatted with Erie with a smile, and after a while, Old Mrs. Wilson arrived, prompting Ophelia to give them space and take a stroll outside.
Even a high-class hospital room is still just a hospital room, after all!
Thankfully, the garden at the inpatient departnt was quiet, perfect for Ophelia to soak up so sun.
"Ophelia," she had just settled into a chair when she heard soone calling her from behind.
"Uncle, you’re back? Auntie’s been waiting for you," Ophelia responded with a smile.
"I’m actually here to see you," Benjamin said with a smile, taking a seat.
"What brings you here, Uncle?" Ophelia asked curiously.
"Erie suddenly went to see Sophie Wilson because she got a call from her lawyer. Why do you think this lawyer suddenly called Erie?" Benjamin asked Ophelia with a smile.
Ophelia felt a pang in her heart, realizing she forgot about Benjamin.
Erie might not suspect anything, but Benjamin certainly wasn’t a fool.
Moreover, Erie always shared everything with Benjamin.
If Benjamin did a bit of digging, he’d realize Sophie’s lawyer never actually called Erie at that ti.
Without panicking, Ophelia smiled and said, "Uncle, I talked with Jas, and he also thinks your company has potential. If you collaborate with Peace Group, your company would be a good choice."
"Is that so?" Benjamin said with delight, "Thank you, Ophelia, for speaking on my behalf. When we collaborate, I assure you my company will do its best and never let you down."
"Why would I worry about your work, Uncle? But I’m not familiar with the specifics. Business matters should be discussed between you and Jas. All I can do is make the introduction," Ophelia replied with a smile.
"You’ve already helped a lot," Benjamin said gratefully.
"We’re all family, why say such formal things?" Ophelia and Benjamin enjoyed their conversation, as if neither had brought up the matter of Erie receiving a lawyer’s call.
As for whether the lawyer who called Erie was Sophie’s, it no longer mattered.
What mattered was that both Ophelia and Benjamin got what they wanted, and that was enough.
