Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 276

Ophelia shot an annoyed glare at Rex, whose smug grin seemed to stretch to the sky.

The next moment, Rex stood upright like a tamed tiger, his well behaved appearance was quite a surprise.

The room was filled with familiar faces, and everyone knew exactly what kind of person Rex was. Not even the

king himself could scare him, and no one managed to keep him in line. No one, except for one person. Even on

set, if he didn't cooperate, just saying, "call Elia," would make him comply immediately.

It was like a child unwilling to take medicine when one threatened to call the doctor for a shot. In fact, the effect

was even

better.

Sharon looped her arm through Ophelia's as they sat beside James and Kevin. Thomas opened a bottle of wine

for Ophelia and passed it to her.

James raised his glass and said a few words. The group stood up to clink glasses, celebrating the successful

months of filming.

The core crew members and a few important staff, totaling around a dozen people, made the private room lively

and buzzing.

Rex flitted around like a social butterfly, eager to join in and play with whatever anyone was doing.

Ophelia was laughing and chatting, drinking and singing along with them. On the surface, she seemed her usual

self, yet there was something different about her.

Taking advantage of a pause in their gwhen someone went to the restroom, Kevin leaned in and quietly

asked, "Elia, are you feeling down today?"

"Not at all! I'm just here to have fun!" Ophelia gave a carefree smile, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her brown

eyes reflected the bright lights of the room.

"Not tellingthe truth? Your personality is too well-known to me. You've always kept things to yourself, and

the more you keep inside, the happier you seem on the surface. Even with a wide smile, your eyes aren't truly

smiling." Maybe it was because they'd seen her truly smile before, so it was easy to tell when her smile wasn't

genuine.

He hadn't seen this side of Ophelia in a long ti

He thought that this side of Ophelia only existed in his memories.

"Maybe I've just been working too much lately. You know, I've got so many things going on. It's rare to get a

chance to relax." Ophelia casually dismissed it with an excuse.

Soon, the assistant who had gone to the bathroom returned. Standing between Kevin and Ophelia, they

continued their dice game, with the loser having to drink.

After several rounds, Ophelia had a lot to drink. She could really hold her drink, and even when she'd had a lot, it

didn't show.

"I'm done playing, Sharon. Let's go downstairs and dance!" Ophelia suggested eagerly.

Maybe it was because Thomas was around, but Sharon hadn't drunk much, and she was surprised by Ophelia's

suggestion. She remembered Ophelia being like a stiff old soul the first tshe was brought onto the dance

floor. Sharon had to drag her along to get her moving before she learned how to dance. She didn't expect

Ophelia to suggest it herself this time.

Chapter 276

"Alright! I'm coming! Sharon was halfway across the room before someone held her back by the waist.

"Babe, can't you tell? Ophelia secins to be in a bad mood today. Thomas pointed out.

Before Sharon could say anything, Rex, who was hogging the karaoke mic, leaned over. "What? What are you

guys talking about? Ophelia's in a bad mood? | didn't notice. Who the heck would dare mess with my sister?" His

voice echoed through the sound system. Everyone stared at Rex in disbelief.

It was then Sharon noticed that Ophelia seemed unusually upbeat today. "Alright, | understand. I'll go check on

her," she whispered to Thomas.

Thomas said, "You better not go. | don't want any photos getting out. Let Ellie handle it."

Sharon thought, "True, we're public figures after all, so we have to be cautious. It is okay earlier when the bar is

less crowded, but now it's peak time.

Ophelia dove into the dance floor and as soon as she stepped in her mind went blank. Her innocent doe eyes

were mesmerizing and alluring, with a soft blush on her cheeks and her long hair cascading over her shoulders.

Her pale fingers ran through her hair as she moved to the music. She wore a white shirt and jeans, with the

lights flickering across her.

Such an outfit was uncommon in a bar like this, like a fresh rabbit above a tiger's den. That stunning face

combined with such a pure look made hearts race, with people eagerly watching

Before long, Ophelia was surrounded by men. Yet, she was completely unaware.

"Miss, did you chere alone?"

"Hi, can we get to know each other?"

"I'm the director at Texco. Interested in becoming friends?"

After all, not everyone could casually cto this bar. Even pick-up lines cfrom people with status. There

weren't any thugs, but one never knew when a rich playboy might show up. "Hey, beauty, are you trying to

catch my attention? Well, you have!"

"Tonight, I'll take you away, and you'll be the woman everyone envies!"

Ophelia's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She was dancing perfectly fine, but suddenly a swarm of flies seemed

to have appeared, buzzing around her ears nonstop.

It was driving her crazy! She wanted to shoo them away, but they just wouldn't leave.

When Ellie cdown, she saw Ophelia surrounded by a few guys trying to chat her up. She hurried over and

grabbed Ophelia's hand. "Ophelia, let's go back upstairs!"

Ophelia said angrily, "Oh con! What's with you all? | just want to let loose for once! Nobody's watching over
