This Kind of Shuraba is Wrong

After Helena stepped in front of Ophelia with a face full of anger, Luo Wei's figure was also completely blocked by her. Ophelia gradually suppressed the smile that had appeared upon seeing Luo Wei.

She looked at Helena with a calm expression. "You have no manners at all. Is this how Luo Wei usually teaches you?"

"Hmph! Why should I be polite to you?" Helena glared at her coldly, then pointed toward the door.

"Get out of here before I can't hold back the urge to kill you! You're not welcome here!"

"How dare you!" Caroline stepped forward with a furious expression. "Commoner! Do you know who you're speaking to?"

Her Highness had cut her recuperation short just to see Luo Wei sooner, and she had even prepared gifts with great joy. Yet, the moment she walked through the door, she was met with such insolence.

Caroline immediately wanted to draw her casting weapon to teach this rude commoner a lesson.

But Ophelia stopped her.

"Your Highness?"

Ophelia shook her head slightly, seemingly unbothered. Instead, a subtle, enigmatic smile appeared on her lips.

She looked at the girl before her, who seemed to be asserting her territory, and teased,

"Helena, it's been so many years, but you still haven't made any progress, have you?"

"You can't hide your emotions at all. Everything is written all over your face. You're not very ladylike, are you?"

Helena hated it when people talked about her in such a condescending tone. Her anger flared up.

"That's not true!!"

"Brother always praises me! I've changed a lot!"

Helena glared at her angrily, then quickly turned to Luo Wei behind her, seeking his approval.

What could Luo Wei say? He could only nod awkwardly.

"Well... Ophelia, you don't know, but Helena has grown up a lot. She's matured..."

"See? Brother agrees with me!" Helena deliberately clung to Luo Wei's arm in an overly affectionate manner, then shot Ophelia a triumphant look.

"Did you hear that?"

"Oh?" Ophelia raised an eyebrow, looking at Helena with interest.

"Hmm... you've grown a bit taller, but as for your figure..."

She rubbed her smooth chin and began to criticize mercilessly, "You're still as flat as a board. If I were Luo Wei, I wouldn't even bother looking at you."

Helena was stunned for a moment.

She quickly glanced down at herself, then stole a look at Ophelia's figure.

Her teeth clenched in frustration and anger.

This hit was particularly devastating. Helena had always been self-conscious about her flat chest, especially since her brother seemed to admire Evelyn's more voluptuous figure...

She could transform into that shape, but it wasn't her true form. She couldn't maintain that "mimicry" state forever...

"You... you..." Helena grew more and more furious, her whole body trembling with emotion.

But Ophelia wasn't done yet.

Seeing Helena's emotions laid bare, her anger escalating...

Ophelia's light-colored eyes filled with a disdainful gaze.

"Your personality has changed a bit, though."

"When you were a child, even though you didn't like me, you only dared to curse me behind my back."

"But now~" she sneered, "you actually dare to confront me head-on. What? Are you going through a rebellious phase?"

"You..." Helena's face was full of murderous intent. "Your tongue is as sharp as ever! You haven't changed at all!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Ophelia smiled at her.

"You!!!"

Seeing Helena's shoulders and arms tense up, Luo Wei quickly stepped forward to hold her back, afraid she might impulsively attack.

Given how boldly Ophelia had walked into the ward, Luo Wei knew she must have come prepared...

He looked at Ophelia helplessly, his eyes conveying disapproval.

She had chosen this moment to visit, knowing Helena would be here, and knowing there would be a confrontation.

Sure enough, Ophelia met Luo Wei's gaze and responded with a sly, triumphant smile.

She had done this on purpose!

Luo Wei sighed and tried to calm Helena down. From the moment these two had met, their clashing attitudes had foreshadowed how this would end...

One was calm and composed, while the other was trembling with rage. They weren't even on the same level...

This reminded him of the past. After Ophelia had moved into the old mansion, she had always acted as the lady of the house. She had never taken Helena, who was timid and of low status, seriously.

In her words, Helena was more like a...

Pet that she and Luo Wei had raised together...

This was why Helena, who always saw herself as Luo Wei's sister, disliked her so much...

Ophelia was too domineering, always making Helena feel like her place was being usurped.

As the atmosphere in the ward grew colder and Helena remained at a disadvantage, Evelyn, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't take it anymore.

She cleared her throat and walked calmly into the center of the conflict.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Princess, as a guest, don't you think you're being a bit too overbearing?"

Everyone turned to look at Evelyn.

Her gaze met Ophelia's, and she smiled serenely. For a moment, she exuded a presence that rivaled that of the Fifth Princess of the Empire.

Luo Wei felt a surge of gratitude as he looked at Evelyn. Finally, a reliable adult woman had stepped in to save the day...

It was like the arrival of a hero!

Go, Evelyn!

However, in the next second...

Ophelia's light-colored eyes casually drifted toward Evelyn, and she gave her a brief, indifferent glance.

"Who are you?"

"Huh?" Evelyn was taken aback.

Ophelia asked this one question nonchalantly, then shifted her gaze away as if Evelyn didn't exist.

This left Evelyn completely flustered.

She had prepared a whole arsenal of sharp comebacks for a verbal battle, but she hadn't expected to be dismissed so casually... and now, she was left speechless.

"I... I am..."

As she tried to explain her identity, she suddenly realized her train of thought had been disrupted.

Evelyn frowned, her beautiful brows knitting together. "Wait, no! Who I am has nothing to do with you!"

She sneered, "If anything, you're the one who has the least connection to Luo Wei in this room! As an outsider, what right do you have to boss us around?"

Luo Wei, seeing Evelyn's anger rising, thought to himself, "This is bad..."

Ophelia definitely knew who Evelyn was. She had even secretly taken photos of him and Evelyn having dinner together...

She was doing this on purpose...

After Evelyn finished her tirade...

Ophelia's indifferent, light-colored eyes slowly turned to her, finally acknowledging her presence.

She studied Evelyn's face with a thoughtful expression.

"Oh, the Abraham family, right? I think I've seen you before."

"Hmph!" Evelyn crossed her arms. "Good that you know. Even though you're a member of the royal family, you can't act so arrogantly. With my family's influence, we're not afraid of..."

Before she could finish, Ophelia interrupted her with a casual remark.

"The fact that my father has allowed your vampire family to remain in the Imperial Council is already a great mercy."

"In recent years, my father has been purging the Empire of non-human families. Even those ancient vampires in your family, who have lived for who knows how long, have had to keep a low profile and tread carefully."

She smiled with a condescending look of disdain. "What? Are you trying to bring trouble to your family? A fallen family like yours, begging for scraps—what right do you have to speak to me like this?"

"You... you!!"

Evelyn seemed to have been struck where it hurt. Her whole body trembled with emotion.

Her expression shifted between anger and worry...

In the end, she simply deflated...

Evelyn, defeated!
