Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia) novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213 

Ophelia spoke with determination, a stubborn look in her clear eyes. 

Trent turned his head and met Ophelia’s gaze, feeling oddly intimidated by whatever it was in her eyes. He found that the strong aura from Ophelia was somewhat similar, but he couldn’t quite place where he had seen this before. 

He sighed and gave in. He said, “Okay, as long as Kenneth agrees to your development. I have no objections.” 

Trent’s words caught Ophelia by surprise. She thought, “His tone is so confident as if it is obvious that Kenneth won’t approve. 

Trent added, “If Kenneth agrees to your development, then I have nothing else to add. He thought. “If anything goes wrong, someone else will take the blame; it wont be my concern. 

Meeting Trent’s crafty gaze, Ophelia furrowed her brow. She tried to read something from his expression, but saw nothing. 

Trent continued, “You only need to submit a feasibility report for the land development and the seawater test data. If it’s approved, you can start the development” 

This was exactly what Ophelia wanted to hear. She said. Thank you, Mr. Louis 

Trent sighed. He thought. She is too naive. It isn’t that straightforward. But perhaps it’s for the best; by the time she finishes all this, I might not be in this position anymore. What happens then won’t concern him” 

After leaving the Urban Development Bureau, Ophelia received a call from Kenneth. 

Kenneth asked, “Where are you! Come to the Sinclair Group“ 

Ophelia replied, “Alright” She rarely questioned Kenneth’s intentions. If free, she’d go wherever he wanted her to be. 

At the top floor of the Sinclair Group Kenneth sat on the spacious leather couch, one hand supporting his forehead as he rubbed his temples. 

“Mr. Sinclair, would you like to take a break: You’ve been pulling two all–nighters in the office since you got business trip” Mark suggested from the sile. He couldnt figure out what was happening with Kenneth.

“When did it become your job to meddle in my business! Get out Kenneth snarled, feeling an unexpected irritation. 

Mark was taken aback by the reprimand. For somewhat, he felt Kenneth had become much softer with his criticisms lately. 

However, just as this thought appeared, he saw Kenneth lift his gelids. He had a deep crease from the corner of his eyes to hus temples, his dark pupils like the turbulent waves of a deep sea 

Mark back went rigid, and he was out of Kenneth’s sight in less than a second, as if his feet had wings.

Once Mark left, Kenneth picked up the phone and dialed a number. Then, he pressed it to his ear. He asked, “How much time do I have left?” He closed his eyes as if waiting for a verdict 

On the other end of the line, Konn’s voice came through He said. “What are you talking abour? It’s not that serious, Kenneth. Now is not the time to be stubborn, you need to have the surgery soon.” 

Kenneth was irritated the moment he heard this, and darkness once again clouded his eyes 

Ronin called “Hello? Kenneth 

Kenneth said. “No one can know about this. You understand the consequences if they do.”

Before Ronin on the other–end could say anything, the call was abruptly ended. 

Just then, Ophelia pushed the door open, holding two cups of coffee. 

Kenneth tightened his grip on the phone. He asked, “Has work been keeping you busy lately?” 

“It’s fine.” Ophelia replied as she placed the coffee on the marble dining table nearby. 

She continued, “Not really busy. I’ve got professionals handling most things. Chloe manages things at the company, so I mainly deal with a few design projects and occasionally teach a couple of classes at Dellanex University.” 

She thought, ‘It’s quite manageable! 

Kenneth said, “Starting today, come work at Sinclair Group. You can choose either the position of Vice President or President.” 

Ophelia was confused. 

Kenneth’s words left no room for negotiation. 

Ophelia thought, “It is pretty sudden. Why would he suddenly make me the CEO? If I become the CEO, what about him?” 

Kenneth asked, “What? Don’t you want to work with your husband?” 

Ophelia replied, “It’s not that. I’m just not sure why.” She thought, ‘If so, wouldn’t I be under his watch all the time, unable to do what I want?” 

The fleeting emotion in her eyes didn’t escape Kenneth’s notice, He sat on the table, one leg resting on the ground while the other was bent on the table, and he beckoned to Ophelia with a finger. “Come here,” he said. 

Ophelia walked over to Kenneth. 

Kenneth said, “Let me hold you.” His deep voice had a hint of weariness. 

Ophelia didn’t say a word. She just walked over and embraced Kenneth. She let him bury his head in her neck. 

After a long time, just as Ophelia felt her right shoulder going numb, Kenneth’s soft voice echoed in her ear. He said, “Do whatever you want, I got your back.” 

“What?” Ophelia asked. She was confused by his sudden remark. She wondered, “Do I hear him correctly? 

Kenneth straightened up. His brow slightly raised with natural confidence. He softly ruffled Ophelia’s hair and asked, “What’s up?” 

“You know what I want to do, are you sure?” Ophelia asked. She blinked her pretty eyes and looked at Kenneth seriously. 

Kenneth replied, “Yeah” 

Ophelia thought, ‘Something’s not right with him. Her eyes fell on Kenneth’s black phone She thought, ‘Who has he be calling earlier? Who did he meet while he was on his business trip? 

Why does he seem different now that he is back? The past two nights, he hasn’t been dingy and has been working late at the office. And now he’s agreeing to my slum development plan 

An unusual feeling grew inside her. She asked, “Why did you have me come to the Sinclair Group?”
