Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 65

Chapter 65

Kenneth pinned her against the wall, his cool lips brushing her earlobe. "How much do you want?" he asked, his

tone indulgent. His voice suggested he'd give her whatever amount she named. Not wanting to be greedy,

Ophelia gestured. "Seven million dollars."

"Deal." Kenneth agreed without hesitation. He leaned in, his lips seeking hers.

Ophelia hesitated, acutely aware of the broad daylight around them. She looked up, meeting Kenneth's intense

gaze. Hist eyes, deep and mesmerizing, seemed to draw her in completely

if she was seeing the man who had died for her in the past life. In those moments, Ophelia felt she would give

him anything he desired.

The tension between them was palpable. Kenneth's strong, masculine hand reached towards the nightstand,

only to grasp at empty air. The condoms were gone.

Kenneth's eyes, which had been burning with passion, gradually cooled. His chest rose and fell with restrained

desire, and Ophelia understood they had run out of condoms. Ophelia's delicate arms wrapped around Kenneth's

neck as she planted delicate kisses on his skin.

Kenneth frowned, gently restraining Ophelia as she tried to seduce him. He wrapped her in the blanket and rolled

out of bed.

Moments later, the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.

This man, Ophelia mused, has even more self-control than | imagined

As the water continued to run in the bathroom, two soft knocks gounded at the door.

Ophelia quickly dressed and went to answer the door. Lisa stood there, visibly anxious. "Miss Spencer, there are

police. officers at the main gate. They say you're suspected of extortion and need to take you in for questioning."

"Alright," Ophelia replied calmly, glancing towards the bathroom before straightening her clothes and heading

out. When Kenneth finished his shower and cdownstairs, he found Lisa pacing back and forth, wringing her

hands. "Mr. Sinclair, thank goodness you're here! The police have taken Miss Spencer away," Lisa blurted out.

Kenneth's brow furrowed, a shadow falling over his deep-set eyes.

"They said something about extortion. But Miss Spencer would never do such a thing!" Lisa continued, practically

spinning in circles with worry.

Just then, one of the security guards approached. "Mr. Sinclair, someone sent you a photograph. They claim it

shows... Well they say it shows Miss Spencer with a toyboy she's keeping on the side."

The guard rushed through his report, keeping his head down, afraid to meet Kenneth's gaze.

Kenneth snatched the photo, furrowing his brow as he inwardly scoffed. He had warned her before. If she

stepped out of line, he would personally break her legs. Even if she was at the police station now, he'd bail her

out just to do it himself. As Kenneth flipped the photo over, his eyebrow twitched. "Damn Who said I'm her toy

boy? His expression becunreadable, causing the bodyguards and servants to hold their tongues in fear.

Lisa could only fret silently, wondering why Kenneth wasn't more concerned.

Clutching the photo, Kenneth turned and headed upstairs, pulling out his phone to make a call.

The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead in the Dellanex police station. Tracy, the assistant, had just finished

recounting the incident. Emily sat beside her, face masked, a picture of silent distress.

The officer offered sreassuring words. This kind of thing happened often in the entertainment world -

obsessive fans threatening celebrities’ privacy, followed by blackmail attempts.

It was just that the amount this twas quite large.

"We've already sent people to bring her in. We'll get to the bottom of this. | assure you, the officer, Steven,

stated.

"Thank you," Emily replied, playing the role of a victim as she sat on the couch, clutching a glass of water with

both hands.

Tracy chimed in, "Steven, you have no idea how brazen that woman is. She's from the slums, you know. She

must have gone crazy with greed to try and blackmail our artist for seven million dollars. Surely that's enough to

lock her up for good, right?" Chapter 65

must have gone crazy with greed to try and blackmail our artist for seven million dollars. Surely that's enough to

lock her up for good, right?" Steven's brow furrowed at the mention of "slums". It was true that the area was

known for its uneducated residents who often engaged in illegal activities. In his mind, he had already convicted

the accused.

When Ophelia was escorted into the office by two officers, she found Emily, masked and wide-eyed, staring at

her in apparent terror.

"Nice acting. Ophelia scoffed. This time, you're not just scratching the surface!

Tracy pointed at her and yelled, "It's her, Steven. She's the one extorting money."

Steven hesitated. The girl before him didn't look like someone who'd have any connection to the slums. But

appearances could be deceiving. "Are you Ophelia? Showyour ID, please One glance at her ID would reveal

whether she was from the slums or not

As Ophelia reached into her bag. Tracy let out a cold laugh. "Steven, why don't you just round up all these slum-

dwellers. It'd save us from letting these low-lifes tarnish Dellanex's image."

The officer didn't even flinch at Tracy's words. Such blatant discrimination against slum residents was apparently

normal.

Ophelia produced her ID, but it was facing down, hiding her personal information.

"What's the hold-up? Tracy sneered. "Too scared to show it? We all know you're slum trash. Stop trying to hide it

and hurry. We don't have all day."

Ophelia indifferently raised her eyelids, her gaze as sharp as a blade, cutting through the air towards Tracy. Even

a saint would lose patience with this constant buzzing.

Tracy flinched under Ophelia's icy stare, inching closer to the cap. "Steven, you seeing this? She's givingthe

creeps. This is exactly how she intimidated Emily before.

"Enough," Steven shot back. "Just handthe ID. His tone was severe, either annoyed by the chaos or perhaps

disdainful of Ophelia's background. Either way, he impatiently snatched the ID from her.

The address read: (4702, 226 Barlin Road, Dellanex West End.] It was not the West End slums.

It can't be Emily pondered. 'Isn't Ophelia supposed to be the girl the Hastings family had reclaimed from the

slums?

Steven felt a surge of anger as if he'd been deceived. He looked Emily and Tracy with exasperation.

"Finished?" Ophelia asked, her expression remaining cool and detached throughout.

This address held deep significance. It was obtained by her grandmother years ago to ensure Ophelia could

attend school. Her grandmother had traded a hand-made dress for it, an act that ultimately cost her eyesight.

Steven took the ID from Emily and handed it back to Ophelia. When he gazed at her again, the earlier judgment

was gone but he still held the wariness reserved for suspects. "Ophelia, we've heard you possess a video of Ms.

Ophelia's lips curled slightly, but before she could answer, two knocks sounded at the open door. Everyone in the

room turned to look at the newcomers.

A young police officer stood in the doorway, and behind him was a man dressed in a tailored navy blue suit.

The man stood about six feet three, with soft yet defined features. His brow, however, was stern and unyielding.

With amber eyes hinting at a mixed heritage, he radiated a sense of elite professionalism. "Adams West," he

said, extending his hand. "I represent Miss Spencer."

"Adams. That nrings a bell, Steven thought. Rising from his seat, he sized up the imposing figure at the
