Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 151

Chapter 151

Suddenly, the mood in the banquet hall bectense and heavy. Those who knew Ople was Mrs. Sinclair were

surprised

at first, then calmed down. After all, she had the right to be arrogant.

They were curious to see how Harris, who was unaware of this, would react,

Everyone knew that Harris was the kind of person who fiercely protects his own; when his daughter got splashed

with wine, there was no way he'd just let it slide. Authority could be overpowering

He stepped forward, patted Ophelia on the shoulder, and joked, No wonder you're Theo's acknowledged

granddaughter, your personality does have a bit of his character, don't you all think?

He turned around and looked at the people, and his gaze was unmistakably clear. From now on, her status in the

business world would be taken 'under his wing by him.

"Girl, having a personality is good, but don't have too much... These words were quite meaningful, and there was

a cold edge in Harris' eyes.

Finlay Carnegie and Henry were about to step forward, but a gid got there first.

Phoebe had a slight smile on her lips. "Uncle Harris, there's really no right or wrong in this matter, because Elia

didn't do it on purpose. Things got a little heated when Cecilia spoke earlier, so how about we just let it be?"

Harris' eyes fell on Phoebe, and his previously stern expression softened a little.

He turned his head and looked at Cecilia with a smile, his tone mildly critical "Cecilia, that wasn't right of you.

How could you say such things about Ms. Carnegie? Let's just leave it now, be mature and let it go." The sudden

change left Cecilia, who was expecting Harris to support her, feeling confused. "But Dad...

"Follow my order!" Harris' tone becsterner as he gave Cecilia a pointed look, his expression a deceptively

kind smile.

He said, "It's normal for kids to have little arguments. Let's do this: have the crew prepare a couple of outfits and

let Ms. Carnegie and my daughter go and change."

This "Ms. Carnegie" that Harris referred to was Ophelia. Ophelia glanced at Phoebe, who had "kindly" intervened.

To outsiders, it seemed like she was helping to defuse the situation for her.

In fact, she was helping Harris. She knew that once things got out of hand, Kenneth would definitely get

involved, which meant Harris wouldn't be able to keep his position for long.

She could see right through their little schemes. As for Cecilia, she frowned with dissatisfaction, her gaze

unintentionally fixing on Phoebe with intense scrutiny and curiosity. Cecilia thought, 'So young, yet she could

easily make my dad relent; she must have a remarkable background.

Ophelia said, "No wonder Mr. Duncan is so wise, but we still need to sort things out. How much are the dresses

that | stained, ladies? Nyour price, and I'll compensate you. "Also, my dress got stained too, and someone

needs to take responsibility for that."

Ophelia, wearing a dress stained with wine, slowly walked over to the kneeling server..

Everyone was confused. They thought, "What more does she want? Is spilling the wine not enough? Does she

also intend to

scold the server?"

"Isn't it just a dress? The Carnegie family's granddaughter acts like she's from the slums, nitpicking over such a

trivial

matter?

"That's right!"

Speople whispered, assuming Ophelia wouldn't hear them

TB

Ophelia helped the server up from the ground. "This dress is custom-made and costs about 70 thousand dollars.

So, tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

The server was in shock hearing this. He thought, 70 thousand dollars? A dress costing 70 thousand dollars?

His forehead was instantly covered in a cold sweat, and just as his knees were about to give way again, Ophelia

caught his arm. "Your knees aren't worth that much."

More than half of the people present were shocked by Ophelia's commanding stance. They thought, 'Does she

really think she can do whatever she wants just because the Carnegie family supports her?

"Why is she like this? Why make things difficult for a server?" someone muttered in disapproval.

"Ms. Carnegie, there's no need to go overboard here. Let's not ruin a perfectly good dinner party just because of

one person."

"Yeah, it's just an outfit. The waiter shouldn't have to pay for it, right?"

Ophelia ignored them and said to the waiter, "If you don't want to cough up 70 thousand dollars, just tell the

truth. Who told you to spill red wine all over me?" As soon as she said this, Cecilla and Sienna's faces went pale.

Stenna said, "Ms. Spencer, are you serious? It's just a wine stain! A good dry cleaning can take care of that, and

you don't neer to pay for my dress. Don't make it hard for him." That was certainly gracious.

o payback either. Let's just let it go." Just a moment ago, Cecilia was so assertive, but now her tone.

"You don't have to pay softened.

Ophelia knew this incident was definitely connected to those two

"Your decision has nothing to do with me. Ophelia said and then turned to the waiter. "I want every penny for my

dress, or Ill take legal action."

The waiter beceven more nervous when he heard about the threat of legal action. He thought, It's 70

thousand dollars He would have to save up for two or three years without spending anything. He couldn't handle

this debt With determination, the waiter raised his hand and pointed at Cecilia and Sienna. "It was them! They

toldto do it and even tipped700 dollars." He said, pulling out a wad of bills from his pocket.

The waiter continued, "Take it back! Ms. Spencer, they were the ones who toldto spill the drinks on you.

They even tolto kneel and apologize afterward, saying you're kind-hearted and would definitely forgive me."

"You're lying!" Cecilia was the first to stand up and deny it.

The waiter retorted, "If you think it's nonsense, just review the surveillance footage. Ms, Spencer, they were the

ones who instructedto do it."

Fortunately, the security on this cruise was excellent, with cameras everywhere; otherwise, he wouldn't have

been able to clear his name.

Cecilia's chest rose and fell with anger. She thought, "How do we end up with someone like this? She shot a glare

at Opheli It was all because of Ophelia that she suffered embarrassment

Their initial thought was to use this minor incident to elevate her to a moral high ground, but they didn't expect

her to act so unpredictably

First, she splashed them with wine, and then this happened, completely catching them off guard as they hadn't

considered the security cameras.

"So, do you two need to check the surveillance footage?" Ophelia tone was calm, and the wine on her clothes

had already half dried.

From the expressions on their faces, everyone could tell what was happening.

"I was wondering what was happening! At first, | wasn't even paying attention here, but wasn't it after they

finished talking

we focused on this?"

"So Ms. Spencer's two glasses of wine weren't wasted!"

"Seeing it now, Ms. Spencer's actions really served them right!"

"Mr. Duncan. Finlay took a few steps forward. "Although the Carnegie family still has sbusinesse we

Carnegies won't stand for being bullied for nothing" depending on you,

In other words, Finlay meant that they could drop the business, but if someone got bullied, they won't just let it

go.
