Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 245

Chapter 245

Ophelia snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at the group chat, which had exploded with dozens of

messages in just a short time.

The atmosphere was one of widespread celebration, with various emojis flying all over.

The people in the company had really been working hard lately. Also, it seemed like the company had never

organized a meal since it was founded.

It was about tto treat everyone.

Ophelia nodded. "Alright, let's book a nice place. Don't worry about the cost. We can't shortchange anyone. This

will count as a team-building event. It's voluntary, and whether you cor not, everyone gets a bonus, 15% of

your monthly salary as the bonus amount." "Got it!" Cody cheered.

Cody, feeling grateful to have such a great boss, immediately got to work on making arrangements.

Ophelia checked her phone. She hadn't seen Chloe in a while, so she decided to invite her out as well. It would

be a good opportunity for everyone to meet her.

Ophelia then sent a message to Kenneth. [There's a celebration dinner tonight, so | won't be able to have dinner

with you. Once we book a place, | will send you the location. Cpickup after it's done.]

Kenneth stared at the message on his screen.

Ophelia's tone was becoming more and more like her usual commanding self, a direct and almost authoritative

one. Kenneth's fingers, long and defined, typed a quick reply. [Alright Ms. Spencer.]

Ophelia smiled softly when she saw the reply.

That evening, Cody had booked a restaurant with a great ambiance. The decor was sophisticated, and the menu

was extensive.

Almost everyone from the company had shown up.

Ophelia introduced Chloe to a few of the key members and then let them enjoy themselves while she stepped

back and didn't get involved in the festivities.

Chloe took the opportunity to report on the recent developments at La Reverie.

"Chloe, is Noah still staying with you?" Ophelia asked with a playful smile, her eyes narrowing slightly as they

fixed on Chloe's deep blue eyes.

Chloe's eyes were so striking, like jewels.

-Chloe frowned slightly. "By the way, | heard that Keaton, one of the shareholders at Everland Hotel, was ousted

by the major shareholders. He's been selling his shares lately. Since we have sufficient funds, do you think we

should buy his shares?" Ophelia raised an eyebrow. This was probably related to Kenneth in sway.

"Sure." Ophelia agreed, nodding. The more of Dellanex's actual assets they could acquire, the more leverage

they'd have when negotiating with political circles in the future.

Ophelia trusted Chloe's decision-making completely.

In fact, Ophelia didn't want to talk about work. She was more concerned about Chloe's romantic situation.

But every tOphelia tried to bring it up, Chloe would quickly change the subject.

After they'd finished most of their meal, Cody and Dan suggested they go to a club.

Ophelia originally didn't want to go. It was already close to 9 PM.

"Con, Ophelia. You're our backbone! If you don't come, it won't be any fun." "Yeah, Ophelia, cwith us."

With everyone urging her, Ophelia reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, Chloe, how about coming too?" Ophelia said.

From the way Ophelia spoke, everyone could tell that her relationship with Chloe was special. They had never

heard Ophelia sound so gentle before.

"I'll pass. Wyatt's still at home," Chloe replied.

Chloe had left them money, yet she wasn't sure whether they had eaten dinner yet. She couldn't help but feel

worried.

"Isn't Noah at your place? He should be able to help you look after Wyatt. Don't worry. We'll only be gone for a

little while," Ophelia said, smiling like a little fox.

Her words left Chloe no room to argue.

"Alright," Chloe replied.

After Cody confirmed the reservation, the group left the restaurant in a large group and took taxis to the

designated location.

"Con, Chloe, and ride with me," Ophelia said, opening the car door. Chloe sat in the passenger seat, and as

soon as she got in, she noticed the two people sitting in the back, It was Ray and Eric.

Chloe gave a small nod, a silent greeting.

The black SUV pulled away from the restaurant.

Across the street, in a black business car, Phoebe watched in disbelief.

‘Emma is really alive?' Phoebe thought.

"Ms. Davidson, it really is Ms. Emma Davidson. But how is she with Ophelia? They seem to be getting along

pretty well," Fiona said, confused.

Fiona couldn't forget Ophelia, the one who had blown up their base. She looked on with suspicion, her unease

growing.

If it weren't for Jonathan being interested in her, and the fact that they couldn't harm her, Ophelia never would

have had the chance to escape back then.

Phoebe stayed silent, her lips tight and her chest rising and falling with heavy breaths.

She squinted, her mind quickly piecing everything together.

‘Now it all makes sense. No wonder when Jonathan kidnapped Ophelia last time, Kenneth was able to find the

place so quickly and precisely. It must have something to do with Emma Because the base was something she

built herself, Phoebe thought. Phoebe should have guessed Emma knew Ophelia. She should have realized it

when Ophelia was first kidnapped.

Phoebe took a deep breath and regained her composure, then turned to Fiona.

"Fiona, | think | need to meet Emma first and understand why she disappeared all those years ago. | don't want

to make any rash moves in case Emma vanishes again.

"If that happens, all our efforts will have been for nothing. Don't you think?" Phoebe said.

"Ms. Davidson, you're right. Should we not tell Mr. Davidson about this yet?" Fiona asked.

"Let's keep it between us for now. | want to give Jonathan a surprise," Phoebe said, her smile gentle as she

exhaled slowly.

Phoebe wouldn't allow Emma to return to the Davidson family.

If that happened, everything she had worked for over the past five years would have been in vain.

Meanwhile, at Rosewood Manor, Kenneth received a message from Ophelia saying she would be back later.

Kenneth frowned, and Wyatt suddenly leaned over to look at the screen.

Wyatt, still a bit confused, studied the words on the screen. He had learned quite a few words already, and he

could understand simple sentences.

"Does that mean Mommy is going to be late too?" Wyatt asked.

Kenneth gave him a sidelong glance, clearly surprised that Wyatt could understand the message.

Maybe, he replied, his tone still gentle.

Beside Wyatt, Noah was sitting on the long furry carpet, fully absorbed in a video game, gripping the game

controller with both hands.

Wyatt looked at Noah, clearly annoyed. He sighed and turned back to Kenneth, his chubby little face breaking

into a smile.

"Ken, thank you for dinner today," Wyatt said.

‘Uncle Noah really isn't reliable. | had to be the one to thank Ken Wyatt thought to himself.

"You're welcome..." Kenneth replied, giving Wyatt's soft cheek a little pinch. He glanced at Noah who was

engrossed in his gwith a look of disdain. "Con. I'll teach you how to play. Later, we'll go with Ken to pick

up your mommy and Ophelia," Noah said.

"Okay," Wyatt said, sitting down next to Noah, both of them perfectly aligned.
