Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia)
Jilted Bride 212

COMMENT

Chapter 212

Ophelia showed no reaction, her expression revealing no hint of anger or joy as if she hadn't seen or heard anything.

For somehow, she felt Kenneth's intentions were more than just supporting her; otherwise, he wouldn't have had Harris ask for her approval,

Harris tried to stay patient, but he was nearly grinding his teeth. He asked, "Ms. Carnegie, what do we need to do for you to let us go?"

Ophelia replied, "Mr. Duncan, what are you talking about? We have no grudges here, so there's nothing to let go of. The door is right there. Feel free to leave."

Her smile was bright and innocent, her pure face showing no hint of malice, making her seem very approachable.

Even if the door was right there, without Kenneth's permission, they couldn't leave.

"Dad, it hurts so much, Dad, I'm dying.. Cecilia howled, her former arrogance gone.

Harris looked at Cecilia in his arms, took a deep breath, and humbled himself again. He said, "Ms. Carnegie, I'm sorry. I admit that deliberately targeted your company. I was wrong. Please forgive me."

At first, everyone was confused, but now they got it. They thought, 'So this is the case. It was Harris and his daughter who has started the trouble, no wonder. They deserved the scolding they got." After a brief silence, Harris still hadn't received Ophelia's permission to leave.

Ophelia looped her arm through Kenneth's, talking to him softly. "Honey, can we go home?"

Kenneth's intimidating aura from earlier quickly disappeared, his eyes now filled with gentle warmth. He replied, "Sure, let's go home."

Under everyone's gaze, the two left the banquet hall, followed by all the bodyguards in the room.

Only then did Harris quickly take Cecilia to the hospital.

After tonight, almost everyone in Dellanex's political circles, from minor roles to major positions, knew about Ophelia.

On Monday, Cody and Nate were out again with documents going around for approvals.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the Urban Development Bureau, Nate let out a long sigh, I wonder how they're going to make things hard for us this time."

With his round belly, Nate couldn't see the tips of his shoes as he climbed the steps. With each step he took, his mood grew heavier.

Cody said, "Just think of it as losing weight. No complaints. We earn more than others. Besides, Ms. Spencer treats us wel. We should put in some effort."

Although Cody was also a bit unwilling, he was handling it better than Nate.

"You make a good point, Nate said, taking a deep breath. As they entered the lobby, they saw Dennis and two of his subordinates standing there as if they were expecting someone important. Nate and Cody exchanged looks of confusion and glanced back at the same time. They didn't see anyone significant when they arrived.

Chapter 212

"Are you from SN Estate?" Dennis asked first. He took a few steps forward and occasionally rubbed his stomach. Although his complexion wasn't great, his smile remained steady. Dennis felt seeing Nate and Cody was even more exciting than seeing a pile of cash.

Cody replied. "Yes, we are." He turned his head, meeting Nate's eyes. They both silently asked each other, "What's going on?"

They wondered why Dennis, who usually gave them the cold shoulder, was being so polite today. Did he take the wrong medicine?

Dennis said, "Welcome, welcome. Let's discuss this in my office. Then, he turned to ask his assistant to make some coffee for the guests and handled the paperwork quickly.

Dennis turned back to Nate and Cody with a polite smile. He said. "Let them do the running around. You two can rest in my office for now." He gestured invitingly.

Cody and Nate stood there, puzzled. They wondered what exactly was going on.

Nate and Cody were led to the office looking confused and were even served top-notch coffee. In less than twenty minutes, all their paperwork was completed, and every stamp they needed was accounted for. Both of them were surprised, thinking. This is incredibly fast!'

Dennis asked politely. "Are you satisfied!"

Nate and Cody nodded, feeling slightly overwhelmed. They thought, 'Can we even dare to say we aren't satisfied? What exactly is going on?"

Nate and Cody came out with their stamped documents, and Dennis even escorted them to the door. Just as they came out, they ran into Ophelia at the entrance.

Cody asked, "Ms. Spencer, what brings you here today personally?"

Ophelia replied, "I have other matters to attend to."

With a flattering smile, Dennis said, "Oh my, Ms. Spencer, you are here. Mr. Louis is waiting for you upstairs. Your company's documents have all been approved. "Next time, call me for these matters, and I'll have someone deliver whatever you

need."

Cody and Nate were both dumbfounded. They thought, 'His attitude is even warmer than when meeting his own parents.

'Ms. Spencer is incredible to have such a connection with the director. No wonder Mr. Miller's attitude changes so drastically. But this is a bit too bootlicking.

Cody and Nate silently decided that they were definitely sticking with Ophelia

"Alright, with the documents finalized, let's move on to the next step, Ophelia instructed.

Cody and Nate nodded in unison and replied, "Yes, Ms. Spencer

Once the two left, Ophelia went straight upstairs to Trent's office

"You're here, have a seat, Trent said. He had been waiting for a long time, and had already prepared a pot of coffee.

He said, "I've instructed my team to handle the documents. What else do you need to talk to me about?"

Even if Ophelia didn't come today, after the birthday party event, everything would likely be much easier to deal with. So, her coming in person definitely meant there was something else to discuss. 10:15 Fri, Nov

Chapter 212

Ophelia sat on the sofa with a smile. She said, "Mr. Louis, you are so smart, why don't you guess?"

Trent chuckled softly. He picked up the antique brooch and poured coffee into Ophelia's cup. He said, "A painting worth over a million, you surely want more than just that in return. Go ahead, I don't beat around the bush" Ophelia replied, "Alright then, I'll be straightforward. I want to develop the slums."

As soon as Ophelia uttered those last words, Trent's hand, which was pouring coffee for her, paused for a moment, almost losing grip of the pot.

Trent asked, "What? You want to develop the slums?" He lifted his eyelids and looked at Ophelia. He pressed his lips together and shook his head in resignation. His expression looked as if he'd just heard a big joke. He said. "If you're here for that, you might as well leave."

Ophelia replied, "I just want to know what needs to be done for that area to be developed."

Trent sighed and set down the coffee pot. He thought, 'If I had known this was her plan, I surely wouldn't have taken the painting as a favor. This is a big problem."

He explained patiently. "Why do you think a city would leave a place undeveloped? There's obviously a reason for it. Trying to change that is unrealistic.

"I know you came from there. Wouldn't it be better to live peacefully without worrying about that place? Thinking about it doesn't lead anywhere. Stop now, or you'll end up getting hurt."

He added inside, 'Not even Kenneth could help at that point.

Ophelia replied, "What if I insist on going down this path?"
