Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia)

Chapter 144

The next day was the third day of the new year, and Ophelia had promised Bethany that she would visit Carnegie Villa today.

At the dining table, Ophelia noticed that Noah didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave and casually asked, "Weren't you planning to go to Waston?"

Waston was the capital of Heloria, about a thousand kilometers from Deltanex. It was not very close.

Noah ignored her question, and Ophelia didn't press him further.

Kenneth completely ignored him, acting as if he wasn't even there. Ophelia, too, gradually became more accepting of him.

After breakfast, Noah took the initiative to help Lisa with the cleaning.

He explained, "During such a festive time, I'm worried that if I go back home, I'll just get kicked out again. Let me stay for a couple more days. I promise not to freeload. I'll help you clean around here."

At this moment, Mark hurried into Rosewood Manor. As soon as he walked in, he saw a tall, handsome man vacuuming the floor, wearing an apron.

Mark recognized Noah and gave him a nod, not surprised by the scene. "Happy New Year, Mr. Sinclair, Ms. Spencer." Mark said as he licked his lips.

"Happy New Year." Ophelia responded. Usually, when Mark visited Rosewood Manor, he had something to report to Kenneth. Working even during the New Year, it's really tough for him.

While reporting, Mark didn't avoid their presence. "Mr. Sinclair, Ronan has been making a fuss at Sinclair Manor, asking to see you!"

"Then give him the body." Kenneth said indifferently. Ronan no longer poses any threat to him.

"But, the people over at the Sinclair family said Ronan has been secretly contacting the Davidson family recently."

Hearing the name Davidson, Ophelia couldn't help but think of Phoebe. "Is the Davidson family really that powerful?" Ophelia tilted her head and asked.

Mark didn't notice Kenneth's expression and answered in a business-like tone, "The Davidson family is the leading underworld clan in Yoskela.

"Their influence is strong on both sides of the law. Their arms business spans globally, but it has not yet entered Heloria.

"I wonder if Ronan reached out to the Davidson family to help them break into the Heloria market or to use this chance to counter Mr. Sinclair." Meeting Kenneth's eyes, Mark suddenly realized he'd said too much.

Ophelia had a look on her face that was hard to read; her pure, youthful face showed no emotion.

She thought, 'So that is what Ivy wanted. No wonder she mentioned that only Phoebe could assist Kenneth. This family's power is indeed immense.

Kenneth held Ophelia's hand in his, gently toying with her slender fingers. "Let him be. Send Patrick's body over as a New Year's gift from me. Whether he wants to continue dealings with the Davidson family at that point is another matter." Mark replied, "Yes."

He thought in respect, 'It turns out Mr. Sinclair had been planning to keep Patrick's body all along. That's Mr. Sinclair's style.

With a smile on her lips, Ophelia withdrew her hand from Kenneth's palm. "I'm going back to Carnegie Villa today. I'll head upstairs and change first."

She turned and went upstairs. Once she was back in her bedroom, she called Chloe. "Hey, Chloe, can you help me find out about the Davidson family?" "The Davidson family?"

"Yeah, the Davidson family from Yoskela." She wanted to learn more details about this family.

"Why are you looking into the Davidsons?" By Chloe's tone, it seemed like she knew about the Davidson family.

Ophelia didn't hide anything from Chloe. "Phoebe from the Davidson family is m

rival in love, so I want to check on her.

She said it half-jokingly. Actually, she just wanted to know Phoebe status within the Davidson family.

And she also wanted to know whom from the Davidson family had the best chance to be contacted by Ronan. Although she knew Kenneth could handle it, she still hoped to assist him. Chloe replied, "Alright."

Ten minutes later, most of the information about the Davidson family was sent to Ophelia's phone.

The details included the names and ages of every young member of the Davidson family, even their family tree. Chloe's abilities were never questioned.

By the time she went downstairs, Mark had already left.

Kenneth and Noah were both sitting on the couch, holding game controllers, playing a two-player shooter game. The large TV screen displayed scenes of intense action and violence. Both men had a youthful vibe about them. As soon as Kenneth saw Ophelia come downstairs, he tossed the controller aside and switched from hunched over the TV to lounging lazily on the couch.

The look on his face seemed to say, "I'm really mature and don't enjoy these childish games."

Ophelia asked, "I'm going to the Carnegie Villa. Do you want to come with me?"

Kenneth replied, "I shouldn't show too much respect to the Carnegie family."

On the third day of the new year, the Carnegie Villa was bustling with visitors. If he went, those people might cling to him.

"Alright, I'll be back after lunch. I might need to visit Chloe in the afternoon. You two... have fun. Don't fight." After she said this, Kenneth slightly furrowed his sharp brows.

Ophelia's eyes sparkled like stars, with her face full of gentle affection.

Just after Ophelia left the villa, Kenneth immediately straightened up, resting his elbows on his knees and gripping the handle firmly. He looked totally disdainful towards his useless teammate.

Seeing his childish behavior, Ophelia's gaze was as tender as water. She felt an overwhelming urge to have his children. It seemed her plan needed to begin.

was lively, and they took a New Year's family photo before dinner.

"Elia, you don't realize how much your grandpa has been waiting for you to come back so we could take this family photo." Mrs. Carnegie, Bethany, said. Looking at the newly taken family portrait, everyone was really satisfied.

Theo adjusted his reading glasses, looked at the photos on the camera, and nodded in approval. "Good, very good. We Carnegie family should be all together." Clara and Finlay exchanged glances and chose not to reply.

After lunch, Ophelia spent some time playing chess with Theo. "No, no, I'm not playing this move. Ophelia, let me take it back one step."

Ophelia replied, "Okay."

Theo just put the threatened knight back to its original position and thought about moving another.

Unexpectedly, Ophelia moved her rook directly in front of his king. "Checkmate!"

"Oh my, how did I lose again?"

"Grandpa, I think there's no way you could beat Ophelia." Rex joked, biting into an apple, wearing his red sweatshirt. Now calling her "Ophelia" was becoming more and more natural to him. The next moment, Theo playfully tapped the back of his head. "It's all because you're messing around here. Otherwise, how could I lose focus?"

Rex held his head and stuck out his tongue in mock frustration.

Jackson and Howard also joined in watching, and the crowd kept growing.

Ophelia finally let Theo win a game by holding back a little.

Ophelia glanced at the time. "Let's call it a day for now. I'll get you a chess guide next time, so you can practice. When I come back, we'll play again." Theo agreed and said, "Alright. Next time, I'll show you how Grandpa wins."

As Ophelia was leaving the Carnegie Villa, Henry stopped her on purpose. SEND GIFT
