Behind her, Tina continued to hurl insults, spouting the nastiest things she could think of.

"Who would've thought people from Helorian were like this... Apologize to me!" Tina demanded.

Ophelia found the remark deeply offensive. "Helorian? Aren't you Helorian too? Did changing your nationality

suddenly make you a foreigner?" Ophelia shot back, her tone sharp. Such behavior only fueled her disgust.

It reminded her of those who rose from the Gloomhaven only to turn around and insult the local residents as if

they were beneath them.

It was revolting.

"I'm a Yoskelain citizen now," Tina replied proudly, her tone dripping with arrogance.

"Then, please go back there." Ophelia retorted coldly, her eyes gleaming with an icy edge.

Tina, hobbling slightly, reached into her bag and pulled out her phone. "Who do you think you are? Just you wait.

We're not done here."

Tina quickly dialed a number. "Hello... Darling, it's me. Someone bulliedon the first floor... Yes, okay, come

down here and stand up for me..." That sickly sweet voice made Ophelia's skin crawl.

Just as Ophelia was about to walk away, Tina blocked her path again.

fall so badly. Just wait until he comes and teaches you a lesson."

Tina grabbed Ophelia's wrist, the very spot Kenneth had held earlier, causing Ophelia to wince in pain.

"Didn't you claim Kenneth was your husband? Then call him to help you out." Tina taunted loudly, ensuring her

words were carried just far enough for Kenneth to hear. Kenneth cast a disinterested glance in their direction.

His breathtakingly handsface was devoid of any emotion, cold, and indifferent to an extrdegree.

Seeing his expression, Tina grew even bolder.

"Still pretending? Mr. Sinclair doesn't even know you. Who do you think you are? How dare you lie like that?" she

mocked. Ophelia turned to look at Kenneth.

Ignoring me? Fine. After all, he is still angry with me,’ she wondered.

But for sreason, a sliver of grievance welled up in Ophelia's chest, spreading slowly.

Kenneth's detached demeanor only made Ophelia feel worse.

It was a rare feeling for her.

With a forceful tug, Ophelia broke free from Tina's grasp, the movement abrupt enough to catch Tina off guard.

Tina stumbled, her footing slipping, and she fell to the floor once again. "Ah!" A piercing scream echoed through

the first-floor lobby.

Hearing the commotion, the lobby manager and staff rushed over, helping Tina Gp from the ground. "Ms.

Harrison, are you alright?"

After all, she was Keaton Yankovich's guest.

"What are you all standing there for? Throw her out!" Tina screamed, her eyes red with pain.

She had never been so humiliated in her life, and it was all because of the woman in front of Ophelia.

"Apologies, miss, but | must ask you to leave," the lobby manager said helplessly, addressing Ophelia.

"Is that what you call throwing someone out? | want her thrown out!" Tina stomped her foot angrily, but the

motion only worsened the pain in her already twisted ankle.

Kenneth's sharp, narrow eyes never left the scene.

‘Lost for words? Can't she callfor help?’ Kenneth thought.

Kenneth's sharp, cold brows knit slightly before he averted his gaze.

Ophelia glanced sideways and noticed that Kenneth's eyes never once landed on her, as if he was deliberately

avoiding her.

It felt like her chest was stuffed with cotton, leaving her stifled and uneasy.

Disheartened, Ophelia turned to leave, but Tina suddenly seemed to remember something. "Wait a minute.

You're forgetting something. Apologize to me. Get down on your knees and apologize!" Ophelia sneered.

"Humph... Quite the demand."

"Miss, you pushed her. You owe her an apology," someone nearby chimed in.

"Yeah, how can you act like this? You pushed her without even saying sorry," another echoed.

The icy chill in her demeanor immediately silenced the crowd, who no longer dared to interfere.

At that moment, a man wearing a bathrobe descended from upstairs.

"What's going on? What happened?" he asked, his voice tinged with authority.

"Darling, you're finally here! It's this woman. She pushedand even trippedon purpose. Darling, you have

"Yes, Mr. Yankovich, we all saw it," the lobby manager chimed in, further turning the tide against Ophelia.

"It's fine, babe." Keaton comforted Tina briefly, patting her shoulder, before turning his attention to Ophelia.

He thought she looked familiar but couldn't quite place where he'd seen her before.

Tina, however, had other plans. Her eyes shifted toward the man seated on the sofa, Kenneth.

'If Kenneth himself could handle Ophelia, it would savethe trouble, she wondered.

Tina clung to Keaton's arm and whispered with mock innocence "Darling, you know what's hilarious?

"This woman actually claimed that Kenneth is her husband. Sing you know Mr. Sinclair, why don't you ask him

directly? If she really is Kenneth's woman, | won't hold a grudge."

Keaton glanced toward Kenneth and immediately recognized him, seated with an entourage of bodyguards

behind him.

Hurriedly, Keaton approached him, lowering his head in a flattering gesture. "Mr. Sinclair, what a surprise to see

you here at the Everland Hotel. Is there anything you need? Please don't hesitate to ask." Kenneth ignored the

man entirely, his gaze fixed firmly on Ophelia.

He crooked a finger at her. "Chere."

Despite her lingering discomfort, Ophelia found it impossible to resist. His long, slender fingers seemed to hold a

magnetic pull, drawing her toward him against her will,

Keaton turned to look at Ophelia, his brows furrowing in suspicion.

Tina, however, felt a surge of vindication. Kenneth's tone and demeanor suggested he planned to personally deal

with Ophelia.

‘Perfect. | wouldn't have to lift a finger, Tina thought.

But just as a smug smile began to spread across her face, Kenneth reached out, took Ophelia's hand, and pulled

her onto his lap.

The movement was intimate and practiced, radiating a natural sense of familiarity that left no room for doubt.

Tina froze, completely dumbfounded. But it didn't end there. Kenneth's hand slipped around Ophelia's waist

while his fingers grazed her cheek. He gently tucked a stray lock of her hair behind her ear, his every move filled

with an unspoken tenderness. He pinched her waist lightly, a subtle reprimand.

He had stopped and waited for her right here, yet she hadn't cto him earlier which angered him.

Ophelia pursed her lips, her expression unreadable.

‘Upset, huh? Good. She's angry,' Kenneth wondered.

Kenneth's eyes lifted, landing on Keaton with clear displeasure.

"My wife is upset. She's been wronged here," Kenneth said, his tone cold and biting.

Whatever fleeting hope Tina had clung to shatter instantly.

"Mr. Sinclair... W-what did you just say? She's your wife? That's impossible!" Tina stammered, her voice rising in

disbelief.

'Kenneth is really Ophelia's Darling? No way. That's impossible, Tina thought to herself.

She'd sooner believe the sky would fall than accept this as the truth.
