Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game Chapter 426 For the Same Reason

"Tommy and I are not as important as Savannah to Zach, right?"

It was as much of a dilemma as "will you choose me over your mom when we're at risk".

That might sound stupid, but it had trapped quite a few women.

"Dear, honey, that question made you sound so stupid," Madeleine joked. She wanted to make Ophelia
laugh, only to find that Ophelia cried out.

Madeleine panicked. She hasted to wipe Ophelia's tears and asked, "Why are you crying? She had
nothing to do with us! You don't have to feel sorry or sad for her. Stop crying, good girl, or I don't know
what to do."

Ophelia cried for a while, which made her make-up blotchy.

They sat on the ground. Madeleine asked shrewdly, "Savannah is a pain in the neck, but do you really
want to give up on Zach just because of her?"

Ophelia shook her head. She knew that this wasn't Zach's fault. Were she him, and her brother did that
to her husband, she might renounce his brother; however, she wouldn't be righteous enough to put her
brother in jail.

"I've never thought about divorcing Zach. I just felt bad when I saw him covering for Savannah, and I
can't get that feeling out of my mind. I felt so scared and angry every time I thought Tommy could've
been crushed in that accident. I don't understand why she hated me so badly that she actually hired
someone to kill me. No matter how harsh people are, they will never let children suffer, let alone that
Tommy is her nephew. I can't believe how she did that."

Madeleine was angry, too.



She said patiently, "She's a spoiled girl from a rich family who can't stand being ignored by others. I'm
not surprised she did that if somebody had encouraged her. I think it may be Cora or her family. They
tried so hard to alienate you and Zach's family."

A trace of hatred flashed over Ophelia's eyes.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "I will never allow any intimacy between Cora and Zach as long as I'm
living in the Chambers family."

"Yeah, that's my girl! You're Zach's wife, and you should have a higher position than the Fletchers. You
don't have a prominent family background as she does, but people worship you because you have
great potential. They don't care where you're from or what your family does." Madeleine said.

Ophelia felt better.

"Don't worry. I would never let Tommy get hurt. I'll teach Savannah a lesson that she will remember for
the rest of her life."

Ophelia frowned and said, "Take it easy; I don't want you to get involved in the dispute between her
and me. I don't want Helena and Steffan to have a bad impression of you. She's the only daughter of
the Chambers family, and we're not as close to this family as she is. We are outsiders."

Ophelia emphasized the word "outsiders".

She finally realized that no matter how much Helena liked her, she would always be inferior to
Savannah, because the biological daughter always came first. Ophelia might be far down the list of
Helena's most liked person.

"Don't worry. I'll do it secretly, and no one would notice. Savannah would always think she was God's
favored one, and everyone should make way for her if I don't teach her a lesson." Madeleine said



fiercely.

She paused and continued, "You can't forgive the Chambers so fast, or they would think you're a
pushover. Pack your things and bring Tommy to my place. You can live there until they apologize to
you. Don't let them get into your head. Let them know that you're an individual with thoughts, not an
elephant led by the nose."

Ophelia nodded without hesitation.

Madeleine was very glad at how fast Ophelia was learning.

"Just do what I said tomorrow. We don't have a prominent background, but we are not pushovers. They
have to side with us if they still want their daughters-in-law and grandsons. If they keep indulging
Savannah, you'll lose your status one day."

Ophelia didn't comment on that.

"Thank you, Madeline, for being with me all the time, no matter what happened."

"Come on, we should help each other. You're welcome."

Ophelia smiled, and her face looked better.

Many people lost sleep that night because of Savannah's stupid mistake. Ophelia and Madeleine lived
in the guest room which the Chambers had prepared for Madeleine. Zach stayed outside the guest
room till the middle of the night. Helena saw Zach when she came out; she was worried about her son.

"Why are you still awake?" Helena asked.

Zach kept his voice down and answered, "I just want to get closer to her."



Helena glanced at the guest room door and had mixed emotions surging in her mind.

She had never thought that things would turn out like this when she protected Savannah. This was not
what she wanted. The family would only prosper in peace and harmony. Now that her daughter and
daughter-in-law were having disputes, this family faced turmoil.

She loved Ophelia as much as she loved her real daughter, which was why she felt so guilty. She had
driven a wedge between Zach and Ophelia. Tommy was just a baby and didn't deserve that disaster
upon her. Protecting children is maternity nature. Helena understood Ophelia because if someone tried
to kill her child, she would fight with that person with her life.

"I'm sorry, son, I have been thoughtless and made Ophelia misunderstand you."

Zach shook his head.

"It's late; just go to bed. Give Ophelia one night to think about it. We'll get things straight tomorrow."

Zach still stood there like a pillar.

Helena felt even more guilty.

She knew her son the best. He looked distant on the outside, making people think he was cold;
however, he was a very spoony man inside. Once he fell in love, it would be overwhelming. He would
do everything for his beloved one. He did that for Cora, and given how he's getting along with Ophelia,
Heleana was sure he loved Phelia more than Cora.
