Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 266

Chapter 266

Through the long, lonely night, Ophelia barely got any sleep.

She tried messaging and calling Kenneth, but just as she had suspected, his phone was off.

By the tmorning arrived, the fog by the seaside was thick, and there was no sunrise that day.

Ophelia changed into a white sports outfit with black stripes, put on a baseball cap, and slung a sports backpack

over her shoulder. Before leaving, she glanced at the figurine on the bedside table. The long flight to Milagia was

uneventful, and when Ophelia arrived, it was still daytime.

She managed to nap on the plane. After landing, she immediately rented a car and drove off, following the route

she had taken last tto Death Guild.

Death Guild was in a very hidden location, and it didn't show up on the navigation system at all.

Ophelia had no choice but to rely on her memory to find the way.

The scene looked completely different in winter.

Once she left the bustling areas, she almost made a wrong turn several times.

Without the city's traffic lights to limit her, Ophelia sped along the wide asphalt roads in the military green Jeep

she had rented.

Eventually, the car entered the familiar dense forest, and from a distance, she saw the Death Guild building

backed by a towering mountain.

The trees here were even denser, making it harder to spot the place.

When she was still a little ways off, a few familiar black SUVS suddenly appeared from a distance and blocked

her path.

A group of people got out of the vehicles.

The man at the front was tall and muscular, with tanned skin covered in bold tattoos, wearing a black sleeveless

shirt, with more tattoos on his neck and head. "You can't cin here," he said.

They had noticed the Jeep the moment it appeared on their remote surveillance.

Ophelia hadn't taken the regular road but had headed directly for Death Guild, a place known to very few. The

moment she showed up, they triggered their defense systems. Ophelia lowered the car window and was

immediately surrounded by a group of men, with the distinct feeling that if she didn't leave, they'd carry her

away.

"I'm looking for someone," Ophelia said coldly.

"Looking for someone? This place isn't somewhere you can just stroll into," the man replied.

If anyone could just cin looking for someone, this wouldn't have been Death Guild.

Everyone who chere was never heard from again.

The man's tone was harsh, and his intimidating appearance would have made most people cower.

But Ophelia remained calm, slowly removing her gray sunglasses and meeting the man's gaze.

This was too coincidental.

The man at the front was Bighost, the sone she had taught a lesson to before.

Bighost would never forget her face. Seeing her bright, delicate face again felt like seeing a fierce predator, and

he instinctively took a step back. "You... what are you doing here?" Bighost stammered.

He was so nervous that his voice faltered. He swallowed hard and rubbed his chest unconsciously.

After all, she had taught him a severe lesson, and then Ray had shot him, making him stay in recovery for over a

month.

The others around him were confused, not understanding why Bighost was acting like this.

The nearly 7-foot-tall man suddenly seemed to shrink in front of a woman.

"I'm looking for Kenneth. Move aside," Ophelia said, not wanting to waste time.

Bighost was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to be the one.

Just as he was unsure how to react, another car drove up from behind them.

When the car cto a stop, a woman got out of the front passenger seat. She had short hair, slightly longer

now, tied half-up at the back of her head.

Her attractive figure was accentuated by the summer clothes she wore, revealing her sexy curves.

"Sorry, Ms. Spencer, you can't cin without Mr. Sinclair's permission," Melanie said, her tone professional but

carrying an air of authority, though it seemed like she was making a mountain out of a molehill. "What if | insist

on going in?" Ophelia asked, her lips curling into a smile. Her beautiful, innocent face displayed a harmless

expression, and her clear eyes seemed to peer straight through people. "Then, I'm sorry," Melanie said.

With that, another group of people emerged behind her.

Ophelia looked at the group, her smile growing.

This was likely a sign that Kenneth wasn't involved in anything dangerous. Otherwise, the key members of the

Death Guild she had encountered last twouldn't have all cout at the sight of her arrival. A large group of

people swarmed around her.

The Death Guild data monitoring center had a high-tech, modern feel.

Kenneth leaned back in his chair, his sharp brows never relaxing for a moment. He wore gold-framed glasses on

his nose, -and his deep eyes were fixed on the large screen in front of him. 'She really came. Does she trust that

| won't change my mind?' Kenneth thought.

His fingers tightened around the armrest, creaking slightly.

Someone was standing behind him.

The person was dressed in light-colored casual attire, arms crossed in front of his chest. "Mr. Sinclair, are you

really going to

do this?"

Ronin didn't understand. His brow furrowed deeper, and his amber eyes shifted from Kenneth to the screen with

a hint of

concern.

'Has the poison spread to his nerves? Is his brain malfunctioning, or has he gone mad?' Ronin thought.

"Mr. Sinclair, | advise you to reconsider. If you cooperate with treatment now, it might not be as bad as you think.

If we proceed with surgery to remove it, there's still a high chance of success," Ronin said. "And then what?

Should | gamble her happiness on a 20% chance?" Kenneth replied.

Kenneth pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose with his long fingers, lifting his eyelids to look at Ronin

through the lenses.

Even if Kenneth won the gamble, there would be partial memory loss, or he could end up mentally disabled.

He didn't want to drag her down for the rest of her life.

Kenneth truly wished he had never gone to Heloria to find her, or at least had known about his condition before

searching for her.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his jaw muscles trembled slightly.

Ronin opened his mouth to say something but fell silent.

Kenneth's gaze turned back to the screen, quietly focusing on the image of Ophelia.

'l can't let myself feel sorry for her," Kenneth thought, making a firm decision.

Feeling the familiar sense of being watched, Ophelia got out of the car, scanned the surroundings, and precisely

located a tiny hidden camera. She smiled at the camera.

"Kenneth, you really don't know me. I've never understood the concept of giving up," she said.

Ophelia slammed the car door shut and tied her hair back. "If | don't leave, are you going to make a move on

me? Con together."

Ophelia tossed the gun from her waist into the car.

They dared not shoot her, and she didn't want to use the gun to harm anyone in Death Guild. Such a thing would

be too costly.

The group exchanged uncertain glances.

Melanie also glanced at the camera. Kenneth had ordered that no matter what, she couldn't be allowed inside.

"Alright, you said it," Melanie replied.

Melanie had witnessed Ophelia's abilities firsthand during their last encounter, and she had been training

intensely for over two months, preparing for the day they would face off. Without wasting words, Melanie took a

sudden step forward and lunged at Ophelia.
