Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 187

Seeing Ophelia hesitating, Madeleine asked, "Who’s calling?"

Ophelia shook her head and responded, "I have no idea. It’s a strange number."

Madeleine snatched the phone from Ophelia’s hand and hung up, saying, "Since it’s a strange number, don’t answer it. Maybe it’s some phone scam."

Ophelia nodded.

The phone started to ring again when the two picked up the menus. Ophelia stretched out her hand and said, "Madeleine, hand me my phone. I suppose it must be someone I know calling me with someone else’s phone."

Madeleine passed the phone back to Ophelia. Ophelia pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, who’s that?"

"You’re Ophelia, right? I’m Tassach’s mother. We met a few times several years ago. I wonder if you still remember me?"

Ophelia’s face clouded over all of a sudden. She tightened her grip on the phone. It never occurred to her that she would get Mrs. Conduibh’s call five years later, and her voice reminded Ophelia of the nightmares she had used to have.

Just because of this elegant-looking lady who was actually a back-stabber, Ophelia was accused of selling trade secrets and almost thrown into prison. Thanks to this woman, Ophelia was plunged into misery, so she was scared upon hearing her voice again now.

Ophelia took a deep breath, managed to calm down and said coolly, "Hello, Mrs. Conduibh. I wonder what you’re calling me for."

Madeleine widened her eyes in astonishment when hearing Ophelia calling "Mrs. Conduibh". She stared at the phone in Ophelia’s hand and said through clenched teeth, "Ophelia, give me your phone."

Ophelia shook her hand, made an eye gesture to Madeleine telling her to stay away, and continued, "Mrs. Conduibh, are you still there? What are you calling me for?"

"Do you have time now? I want to invite you to lunch. I do have something to tell you," Mrs. Conduibh said on the other end of the line.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Conduibh, but I’m having lunch with my friend, so I may not be able to accept your invitation," Ophelia declined.

After what had happened to her, Ophelia didn’t really want to see Mrs. Conduibh again.

"It’s alright. I can have lunch with you guys. You just need to tell me your address, and I’ll join you," Mrs. Conduibh insisted.

Frowning, Ophelia still wanted to refuse. "Mrs. Conduibh, I’m afraid that you won’t feel comfortable eating with my friend. How about this? Since I’m free tomorrow noon, let’s meet then. What do you think?"
