Chapter 208

Ophelia's lips curved upwards in a calm smile. She said, "Maybe She had offended quite a few people over the

past six months.

Cody said, "You noticed, too? Do you know who it is?" He though Ophelia hadn't caught on yet. But then again, it

was so obvious. If even he noticed, there's no way Ophelia wouldn't. Colly wondered who was behind the scene.

Ophelia didn't say a word. She cin person to verify her suspicions and gauge the attitude of the people here.

She wanted to know if it was because they were a small company and were being brushed off or if there were

other reasons. for the deliberate trouble. Judging from Dennis's attitude, Ophe could tell it was the latter. Ophelia

thought, "When we met in the elevator that day, Cecilia looked atlike she would eatalive. And who else

could pull off something like that if not her?"

Ophelia gave a carefree smile and said to Cody, "Til handle this. You folks focus on the next step of the work

plan.

For sreason, after hearing her words, Cody felt a wave of relief wash over him.

On the way back, Ophelia called Marilyn.

She asked, "Mara, among the people who ordered custom gowns after New Year, is there a client with the last

nLouis?*

"I think so, but | can't really remember. Letcheck for you," Marilyn said, holding the phone between her

shoulder and ear while typing on her computer. Soon, the client info popped up.

She said, "Yes, Ophelia, there's a lady named Natalie Louis who ordered a custom evening gown for a birthday

party."

Ophelia said, "Sendher registration details."

"Okay," replied Marilyn.

As soon as the call ended, Marilyn quickly sent over the information.

Cody glanced over and asked, "Ms. Spencer, who is this person?"

Ophelia recognized Natalie as Trent's wife. Natalie ordered a custom gown right after the New Year. The occasion

she specified was a birthday party.

Ordering a custom gown so far ahead of tmust mean it was quite an important birthday party.

After checking Natalie's information, Ophelia returned from the chat interface to the message page. Her eyes

fixed on the Top pinned conversation.

In the past, when Kenneth was on business trips, he would call Ophelia occasionally. Ever since he started using

WhatsApp. he almost felt compelled to share every meal with her. But this time, Kenneth had been on a business

trip for two days and hadn't reached out to Ophelia yet.

Ophelia picked up her phone and took a selfie, her smile charming.

Cody, beside Ophelia, was so stunned his eyes nearly popped out. He thought, 'Does Ms. Spencer have this side

to her?’

Cody asked, "Ms. Spencer, are you investigating who's been causing trouble behind the scenes?"

Ophelia replied, "No, I'm sending a Whatmessage to my husband."

Cody was speechless. Ite thought, Con, can you maybe focus on sserious work? Though this was what

he thought, he dared not show it on his face.

Ophelia sent the photo, adding an emoji with a tongue sticking dit. She didn't know if Kenneth was asleep at this

time. She wanted to call him but was afraid of interrupting his rest.

When she returned to Rosewood Manor at night, the first thing Ophelia did was call Kenneth. She thought calling

at this twouldn't interrupt him.

But the phone rang until the very last ring, and no one answered Ophelia thought, 'Is he busy?"

Meanwhile, in the daytin Milagia, at the Saint Nox Research and Academic Hospital, Kenneth had just

finished a series of check-ups when Ronin, wearing a white lab coat, stepped forward and handed him his coat.

Ronin said, "Your phone rang

Kenneth frowned as he took the suit jacket from Ronin. His black shirt sleeves were rolled up to his forearms,

draped over one side. His long, articulate fingers reached into the suit pocket and took out his phone The screen

showed a missed call labeled Wife. It was Ophelia.

softened slightly. His finger hovered over the callba

Kenneth's fierce gaze button, but he couldn't press it. His heart was filled with an unknown emotion, making him

restless. After struggling for a while, he failed to make the call.

Kenneth's long legs were clad in black trousers, and as he stood in the hospital's pristine white corridor, his dark

aura created a striking contrast.

"If this tyou can't find anything, I'll tear this place apart," Kenneth said. His voice was low and chilling, like

that of a devi intent on destruction.

Ronin raised an eyebrow, one hand in the pocket of his lab coat. He said, "Isn't it better if nothing's found? Or do

you actually want to uncover something?"

Kenneth remained silent, sitting on the sofa in the waiting area. His forearms rested on his spread knees, fingers

twirling his phone.

Effortlessly unlocking the phone, Kenneth looked at the Whatmessage from Ophelia. His fingers gently

touched her cheek in the photo before pulling back decisively after a while. His eyes, dark as ink, stared intently

at Ophelia in the photo, afraid that if he blinked, he'd lose sight of her. He never expected that he would be

afraid of losing someone like this. The next day, when Natalie cto La Reverie to try on her dress, Ophelia

showed up, too.

Natalie was well-maintained and still charming. She looked even more elegant and poised after putting on the

custom evening gown

Marilyn showered Natalie with compliments, using a lifetime's worth of praise, and Natalie couldn't stop smiling.

Marilyn helped pack the dress into a gift box while casually asking. "Ms. Louis, whose birthday party are you

going to? You Look so dressed up, it must be someone very important, right?" Natalie was over forty, and even

though she took good care of herself, she was usually addressed as Mrs. Louis when she

went out

It was the first tshe was repeatedly called Ms. Louis, which made her feel several years younger. Naturally,

her mood improved. 10:14 Fri, Nov 22

Natalie said, "It's very important, mainly for my husband, since the birthday party of the retired mayor."

"Are you married?" Marilyn asked. She looked at Natalie in disbelief, her eyes wide open.

Natalie covered her mouth and chuckled. She said, "You're quite the sweet talker. Not only am | married, my son

is already in high school."

Marilyn said. "Really? | never would've guessed. Ms. Louis, you must be joking. How can someone so young have

a son already?"

Natalie, in a good mood, chatted with Marilyn a bit more.

After Natalie left happily, Marilyn let out a long breath and went into the office. She said, "Ophelia, your trick

really worked. How did you know she liked being complimented like that?" Ophelia said, "No one dislikes hearing

compliments. Did you find out what you needed?"

Marilyn replied. "Yeah, she said the party's this Saturday night at the Elysées Hotel for the former mayor's

birthday. Ophelia. are you going to join them?"

Ophelia let out a forced chuckle. She needed to be qualified to attend, after all. She just wanted to find a chance

to meet Trent.
