Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia)
Jilted Bride 198

Chapter 198

Meanwhile, in the pitch-black passage, with no lights, Ophelia lail to cling to the wall and move forward. "Maybe there were lights before, but she might have blown up the circuit.

Luckily, Ophelia had a lighter with her. She licked it on occasionally, using the weak glow to glimpse her surroundings while relying on one hand to feel her way.

The passage was primitive, simply made of marble.

At the next turn, a dim light appeared ahead. With that light, he pace quickened. Suddenly, she stopped as two tall black figures blocked the exit light.

One person said. "Ms. Spencer, we've been expecting you."

Ophelia recognized them as Jonathan's bodyguards. Just as she reached for her waist, two gun barrels were immediately pointed at her.

One bodyguard said. "Ms. Spencer, I advise you not to act rashly. Although Mr. Davidson told us not to harm you, these bullets aren't so mindful. You've injured so many of our people You should pay the price The sharp sound of bullets being chambered echoed clearly and loudly through the passage.

Ophelia pressed her lips together. With a harmless smile, her dark eyes steadily fixed on the two. The light from outside slanted across her cheek, half of her face visible, the other half hidden in shadow. Her calm and confident presence sent a shiver down the two men's spines.

The bodyguard thought, 'Does she still have some tricks up her sleeve: We can't underestimate her. As they watched Ophelia warily, a youthful voice with a carefree laugh echoed behind them, saying, "Two losers.

The two bodyguards froze instantly. Just as they turned their heads. Ophelia kicked off the side of the marble wall, propelling herself into the air. She spread her legs apart and delivered a swift kick to the neck of each opponent. With a thud, both bodyguards fell to the sides. Taking advantage of the opening. Ophelia darted through the gap between them and raced down the corridor.

"What are you doing here?" Ophelia asked, glancing toward the passage exit..

Eric stood there with his hands casually in his pockets. He leisurely chewed bubblegum and blew a big bubble.

He said, "I'm here to back you up. With that, he tapped his toe on the ground and charged into the passage, knife ready to

strike,

The two bodyguards who had just managed to get up were caught off guard. Blood poured from their necks as they collapsed lifelessly to the ground.

'Done already?" a rough voice called from above, revealing a pair of black, thick-soled leather boots.

Ophelia thought, 'Ray has arrived too. It should be Kenneth who sent them to save me!

Eric sheathed his dagger and slipped it into his pocket, then casually tossed a lollipop to Ophelia. He said, "The smell of blood is overpowering. Try to cover it up a bit. When Ray saw Ophelia, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He was amazed by Ophelia's ability to escane on k also surprised at how Eric had nailed it out, 92%

Ophelia said. "Did either of you bring a phone? Call Kenneth to let him know we're safe."

Kay tapped his forehead with his fingers. He said, "Mr. Sinclair still in there."

Ophelia shouted, "What?" she frowned, thinking she misheard. She asked, "Didn't he go back to Dellanex?" But she quickly understood Kenneth's plan.

Eric said. "How could he bear to leave you behind and walk away? He was somewhat helpless, thinking that he had told Kenneth that Ophelia could escape on her own, but Kenneth insisted on coming to help. He couldn't convince Kenneth. Ophelia said. "I'm going back to replace him." With that, she prepared to go back the way she came.

Ray said, "Mrs. Sinclair, let's wait outside for Mr. Sinclair. If you go back and he comes out, then you two will just...

Ophelia thought what Ray said was right. But she still felt a bit uneasy. Jonathan was deceitful and sly, and she worried Kenneth might be at a disadvantage,

Ophelia followed behind Ray and Eric to meet up with the main group. Only after she stepped out did she see the whole place.

It was indeed a great spot. The passage led directly to a winding mountain road, with a helipad at the top. The area was lush with trees, and even the exit of the passage was very well hidden

Ophelia asked, "How did you guys replace this place?" She thought. This place shouldn't be easy to replace

"Mr. Sinclair asked your friend for help, Ray replied.

Hearing this. Ophelia immediately thought of Chloe. She was determined to properly thank Chloe when she got back.

By the time they reached the dense forest, dawn was breaking; the sky was a hazy gray.

Ophelia waited for a while, noticing there was no movement inside. She had been worried about Kenneth, and now there was a growing sense of unease in her heart. She said, I have to go back."

Inside the manor's grand hall, in the center stood two men holding guns pointed at each other. The room's temperature dropped to freezing as their groups took defensive stances. It seemed like this battle wouldn't end until someone died. Kenneth's pair of dark, narrow eyes were chilling and intimidating

Jonathan's pair of icy blue eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a natural coldness.

The situation reached a stalemate.

After a long pause, Jonathan sighed, "This is boring. How about game, Kenneth?"

Kenneth agreed, "I'm in."

Both of them lowered their guns

Jonathan took out the magazine. He emptied it of the bullets, leaving just one. He showed it to Kenneth for inspection.

Kenneth knew what Jonathan wanted to play. He cooperatively packed out the bullets one by one, skillfully taking apart the

gun.

Jonathan casually explained the rules of the game, "After we assemble it, we'll walk five steps back-to-back, turn, and shoot. We'll be betting our lives." 00092%!

"Alright," Kenneth agreed inmediately.

On the two

transparent coffee tables, the parts were arranged neatly.

"I set the game. You say when to start, Jonathan said as he raised an eyebrow.

Kenneth sneered, "Since you've resorted to kidnapping, don't pretend to be a gentleman now."

Jonathan was momentarily speechless, his face darkening. He thought that if that was the case, he might as well play the

villain to the end.

He shouted, "Start"' As his voice faded, only the sound of Kenneth and Jonathan assembling guns could be heard in the silent hall. They both performed skillfully and swiftly.

After taking five steps, they turned around almost at the same time.

Kenneth felt everything go dark and instinctively pulled the trigger.

"Bam" the gunshot rang out, but the bullet just grazed past Jonathan's car.

Jonathan's finger paused in surprise. When he turned his head earlier, he saw Ophelia suddenly step in front of Kenneth, her arms spread wide to protect him.

A fierce sense of defeat pierced Jonathan, and he swung his arm frustration. With a bang sound, the bullet struck the oil painting above the fireplace.

Jonathan thought. Is she out of her mind? She was willing to risk everything to escape from me, but now she's back for Kenneth. Are these two crazy? One makes a huge fuss, while the other doesn't even care for her life. Kenneth's vision cleared. Seeing Ophelia standing fiercely in front of him, his eyes blazing with anger. He shouted, "Ophelia

Ophelia instinctively shrank her neck, her eardrums throbbing painfully from the shout.

She turned around, her face turning instantly like an angry little beast. She said, "Kenneth! Are you trying to get yourself killed? Why did you play such dangerous games with him? What if he hurt you?"

Jonathan stared at Ophelia for a long time, his arm dropping as he sighed, "Let them go." After saying that, he turned and went upstairs, not glancing at the two across from him even once. SEND GIFT
