Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia)

Chapter 134

This place was nestled against a majestic mountain and encircled by tall greenery. It created an extremely secluded environment. Ophelia found this place somewhat familiar. It reminded her a bit of that estate in Dellanex.

But this place was larger, with three rows of high-tech single buildings. Groups of men in black were training in a field nearby. Driving past the long fountain in front of the main building, the car pulled up at the entrance.

Rather than a manor, this place looked more like a hidden base.

This made her more certain of her thoughts.

Once she got out of the car, Ophelia felt the temperature drop a little.

Just as she sensed it, Kenneth adjusted the scarf around her neck

His well-defined hand immediately took her hand, enclosing it in his warm palm.

All men in black greeted in unison, "Mr. Sinclair."

Upon seeing Kenneth, everyone stood up respectfully and nodded at him.

Suddenly, Ophelia spotted two familiar people.

She saw a rugged middle-aged man in black with a beard. It was Ray.

'Eric?' A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she had a brief two-second glance at Eric. Yet, she felt like the man next to her was about to crush her fingers.

Ophelia looked away and followed Kenneth past the first three rows of buildings to a standalone villa situated on higher ground.

It was quiet here, with a huge swimming pool at the front.

On the third floor of the villa, there was a rooftop that provided a panoramic view of the entire estate.

Inside, there was only a servant about the same age as Lisa. When the servant saw Ophelia, a hint of surprise showed in her eyes.

"Mr. Sinclair, you are back. Would you like lunch?" the servant asked.

"Are you hungry?" Kenneth glanced at Ophelia, his tone somewhat indifferent.

"Not really," Ophelia replied.

"Prepare it for later," Kenneth instructed, taking Ophelia's hand and continuing upstairs.

"Yes," the servant nodded and resumed her tasks.

As they reached the second floor and were about to go upstairs, Ophelia suddenly asked, "Why do they call you Mr. Sinclair?"

Ophelia wondered, 'This title sounds a bit unfamiliar and awkward. Didn't Caleb and the others used to call him Sinclair since they're familiar?

Kenneth remained silent-until he led her up to the third floor.

As soon as they turned the corner, he pinned her against the wall. "Look again, and I'll take his eyes out!"

He couldn't bear to hurt Ophelia, but taking out Eric's eyes was no big deal for him.

Ophelia raised an eyebrow, taking a couple of seconds to understand what he was saying.

She couldn't help but find it a bit funny. "I just didn't expect him to be here too." She hadn't even said hi to Eric.

"Didn't you tell me to keep him around? Forgotten what you said?" asked Kenneth.

"Oh, I just remembered," she said casually. When she looked up, her long eyelashes fluttered, with clear eyes that were enchanting. Kenneth suddenly bent down and kissed her soft lips. "Time to keep the promise."

Ophelia placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned her body back a bit. "You've got to show me around, right?"

She thought, 'Doing this kind of thing in broad daylight? Besides, there are so many people here, way more than at Rosewood Manor.'

At that moment, there was a sound from downstairs.

"Is Mr. Sinclair back?" A capable female voice rang out from downstairs.

Ophelia had a sharp hearing, which allowed her to clearly catch the conversation even with a floor separating them.

"Someone's looking for you." Hearing footsteps approaching the stairs, Ophelia nudged the man in front of her.

hers, and as he uttered those words, they brushed against her lips.

"Hmm, so what?" Kenneth's thin lips were close

"And it's a woman," added Ophelia.

"So?" Kenneth grinned. "Jealous?"

She wasn't a child. There was no need to be jealous.

But... she could afford a little playful mischief. She was curious to see Kenneth flustered.

They stayed in that position until a woman came up the stairs.

The woman wore a sleek all-black outfit, tall and slender with short blonde hair, looking very capable.

Upon seeing their position, she showed surprise in her eyes for just a moment before returning to normal.

Her gaze instinctively overlooked the person pressed against the wall.

"Mr. Sinclair, I have something to report to you," said the woman.

"Speak," Kenneth uttered one word coldly.

The woman paused for a moment, her gaze resting on Ophelia.

"If I'm in the way, can you tell me where the bedroom is? I'd like to take a rest," said Ophelia.

Kenneth's smile grew wider at the word, thinking, 'Bedroom? Is the little one getting anxious?'

He turned his head and instructed "Ik

about it later." His gaze remained fixed on Ophelia,

The woman lifted her gaze again, her eyes once more on Ophelia. This time, Ophelia calmly lifted her eyes, meeting the woman's gaze,

A hint of amazement flashed in the woman's eyes. She slightly curled her lips, meeting Ophelia's gaze directly, not avoiding

Some people were destined to confirm their relationship with just one glance.

The woman nodded respectfully to Kenneth, turned around, and went downstairs.

After the woman left, Ophelia calmly said, "You have women here?"

The tone was dripping with jealousy.

"Yeah, just one," Kenneth nodded.

That explanation was no better than none. Saying just one made it sound like this person was really special.

"A woman who can stay by your side must be really capable, right?" Ophelia had a cunning smile on her lips, but her eyes showed no emotion.

Kenneth said, "When I said just one, I meant the maid downstairs. The women here are just like men."

Ophelia was left speechless.

But as a woman herself, she could feel the hostility from that woman just now. It was clearly visible in her eyes.

She pushed Kenneth aside and explored the place on her own.

Strangely, it felt somewhat familiar. "Isn't this just like the layout of Rosewood Manor?"

Apart from the different exteriors, the internal structure, like the bedroom and study, were perfectly the same in corresponding locations.

This sense of familiarity actually put her in a good mood.

At that moment, a man's voice came from the front yard. "Kenneth! Mr. Sinclair? You're back!"

They stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down, seeing a man in a black coat stride in.

The man rushed up

the stairs with urgency.

The two of them left the room.

The man asked, "Didn't you say you were going to bring your kid back?"

They heard a voice before seeing the man.

The man's eyes sparkled with mirth. Despite his stern, chiseled features, his expression was teasingly playful, and his mature voice belied the innocence in his dark eyes, as pure as that of a teenager's. "Your child is this big already?" He licked his lips. "Kenneth, seriously? How old were you when you... How could you have such a grown-up child? You..."

'What a beast!?' the man thought.

As he spoke, the man reached out, just about to cup Ophelia's cheeks with both hands, but was pushed away by Kenneth. "You're seeking death!" Kenneth said angrily.

"Let me see my little niece! Today is Christmas Eve in Heloria, and I've brought a gift!" With that, he pulled out a gift from his coat pocket.

To be precise, it was a stack of bills wrapped in gift paper.

Ophelia was rendered speechless.

'Is this guy trying to be funny?' she wondered.
