Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 213

Chapter 213

Ophelia spoke with determination, a stubborn look in her clear eyes.

Trent turned his head and met Ophelia's gaze, feeling oddly intimidated by whatever it was in her eyes. He found

that the strong aura from Ophelia was somewhat similar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen this

before. He sighed and gave in. He said, "Okay, as long as Kenneth agrees to your development. | have no

objections."

Trent's words caught Ophelia by surprise. She thought, "His tone is so confident as if it is obvious that Kenneth

won't approve.

Trent added, "If Kenneth agrees to your development, then | have nothing else to add. He thought. "If anything

goes wrong, someone else will take the blame; it wont be my concern.

Meeting Trent's crafty gaze, Ophelia furrowed her brow. She tried to read something from his expression, but saw

nothing.

Trent continued, "You only need to submit a feasibility report for the land development and the seawater test

data. If it's approved, you can start the development"

This was exactly what Ophelia wanted to hear. She said. Thank you, Mr. Louis

Trent sighed. He thought. She is too naive. It isn't that straightforward. But perhaps it's for the best; by the time

she finishes all this, I might not be in this position anymore. What happens then won't concern him" After leaving

the Urban Development Bureau, Ophelia received a call from Kenneth.

Kenneth asked, "Where are you! Cto the Sinclair Group"

Ophelia replied, "Alright" She rarely questioned Kenneth's intentions. If free, she'd go wherever he wanted her to

be.

At the top floor of the Sinclair Group Kenneth sat on the spacious leather couch, one hand supporting his

forehead as he rubbed his temples.

"Mr. Sinclair, would you like to take a break: You've been pulling two all-nighters in the office since you got

business trip" Mark suggested from the sile. He couldnt figure out what was happening with Kenneth. back from

"When did it becyour job to meddle in my business! Get out Kenneth snarled, feeling an unexpected

irritation.

Mark was taken aback by the reprimand. For somewhat, he felt Kenneth had becmuch softer with his

criticisms lately.

However, just as this thought appeared, he saw Kenneth lift his gelids. He had a deep crease from the corner of

his eyes to hus temples, his dark pupils like the turbulent waves of a deep sea Mark back went rigid, and he was

out of Kenneth's sight in less than a second, as if his feet had wings.

Once Mark left, Kenneth picked up the phone and dialed a number. Then, he pressed it to his ear. He asked, "How

much tdo | have left?" He closed his eyes as if waiting for a verdict

On the other end of the line, Konn's voice cthrough He said. "What are you talking abour? It's not that

serious, Kenneth. Now is not the tto be stubborn, you need to have the surgery soon." Kenneth was irritated

the moment he heard this, and darkness once again clouded his eyes

Ronin called "Hello? Kenneth

Kenneth said. "No one can know about this. You understand the consequences if they do." Chapter 213

Before Ronin on the other-end could say anything, the call was abruptly ended.

Just then, Ophelia pushed the door open, holding two cups of coffee.

Kenneth tightened his grip on the phone. He asked, "Has work been keeping you busy lately?"

"It's fine." Ophelia replied as she placed the coffee on the marble dining table nearby.

She continued, "Not really busy. I've got professionals handling most things. Chloe manages things at the

company, so | mainly deal with a few design projects and occasionally teach a couple of classes at Dellanex

University." She thought, 'It's quite manageable!

Kenneth said, "Starting today, cwork at Sinclair Group. You can choose either the position of Vice President

or President."

Ophelia was confused.

Kenneth's words left no room for negotiation.

Ophelia thought, "It is pretty sudden. Why would he suddenly makethe CEO? If | becthe CEO, what

about him?"

Kenneth asked, "What? Don't you want to work with your husband?"

Ophelia replied, "It's not that. I'm just not sure why." She thought, 'If so, wouldn't | be under his watch all the

time, unable to do what | want?"

The fleeting emotion in her eyes didn't escape Kenneth's notice, He sat on the table, one leg resting on the

ground while the other was bent on the table, and he beckoned to Ophelia with a finger. "Chere," he said.

Ophelia walked over to Kenneth.

Kenneth said, "Lethold you." His deep voice had a hint of weariness.

Ophelia didn't say a word. She just walked over and embraced Kenneth. She let him bury his head in her neck.

After a long time, just as Ophelia felt her right shoulder going numb, Kenneth's soft voice echoed in her ear. He

said, "Do whatever you want, | got your back."

"What?" Ophelia asked. She was confused by his sudden remark. She wondered, "Do | hear him correctly?

Kenneth straightened up. His brow slightly raised with natural confidence. He softly ruffled Ophelia's hair and

asked, "What's up?"

"You know what | want to do, are you sure?" Ophelia asked. She blinked her pretty eyes and looked at Kenneth

seriously. Kenneth replied, "Yeah"

Ophelia thought, ‘Something's not right with him. Her eyes fell on Kenneth's black phone She thought, 'Who has

he be calling earlier? Who did he meet while he was on his business trip? Why does he seem different now that

he is back? The past two nights, he hasn't been dingy and has been working late at the office. And now he's

agreeing to my slum development plan An unusual feeling grew inside her. She asked, "Why did you have me

cto the Sinclair Group?"

Kenneth said. "If not here, how do you plan to do what you want? You can choose the CEO or the Vice President

position Ophelia said, 'T'll be the CEO, so what about you?" 10:15 Fri, Nov 22

Kenneth remarked inside. She spoke confidently, without even considering the Vice option, she picked CEO right

away.

He replied, "Til be the Vice President or your assistant; whatever makes my dear wife happy, we'll do it that way."

He added. inside, | won't hesitate even if | have to dismantle the entire corporation! Kenneth lifted Ophelia's

chin. Gazing at her lush lips, his Adams apple above his tie moved involuntarily. He said, "TIl do whatever you

command."

Those words cfrom Kenneth's mouth with an indescribable sensuality and allure. Especially the last two

words. He was like an irresistible male enchantress.

Ophelia tugged at Kenneth's tie, meeting his eyes. She thought, He doesn't even know how much | missed him.

‘Since he returned, he's been going straight to the office. | might have thought he was meeting another woman

on those business trips if | didn't trust him.

Ophelia said, "Then, former CEO, please takeon a tour of your lounge-no, | mean mine."

Their eyes met. Ophelia was like a lively little fox. Even faced with this big bad wolf, she was no longer afraid.

The lounge was a duplex with direct access to the rooftop.

Ophelia was sincerely exploring, but just as she reached the corner of the stairs, Kenneth pressed her against the

wall.

A torrent of kisses rained down upon her. They consumed her breath more intensely than ever. It was as if

Kenneth wanted to devour her completely.

Equally captivated, Ophelia responded more fervently than ever before. She asked, "Kenneth, what's gotten into

you?" She could clearly see the emotions churning in Kenneth's eyes, slowly spreading.
