Ophelia hid by the door to the study, clearly hearing everything Jonathan said.
After speaking, Jonathan walked over to a wall and gently turned the antler mounted on it. With a "Click, "the
wall immediately indented and slowly opened like two doors.
Seeing this, Ophelia thought, | guessed it correctly; there is a closer passage in the study
When she noticed the antler ornament on the desk carlier, which was exactly like the one on the wall, she
suspected there might be a hidden door.
Instead of opening the door herself and risking setting off smechanism that would alert anyone, she found it
was better. to let Jonathan open it himself. Knowing Jonathan's character, she knew Jonathan would definitely
want to personally capture her.
Suddenly, the black cat leisurely strolled to her feet, tilting its head as it looked at her from behind the door
panel.

Ophelia lowered her eyes, meeting the black cat's gaze. When she looked up again, Jonathan had already closed
the hidden door and was striding towards her. The hidden door was slowly closing
Ophelia frowned and quickly drew a gun from behind her waist. With two "bang" sounds, the entire room was
instantly plunged into darkness. Guided by her memory, she swiftly dashed into the secret door before it closed.
Thanks, Mr. Davidson, Ophelia said.
In the darkness, Jonathan looked toward the source of the voice Without any warning, a huge explosion erupted
behind him, destroying the study
In the flare of the explosion, Jonathan watched helplessly as Ophelia disappeared through the secret door. His
eyes turned bright red with anger, and he punched the ground.
He cursed, "Damn it... cough, cough... Thick smoke made him cough a couple of times. Glass shards that had
cfrom nowhere earlier had cut his face, leaving him looking utterly messy.
The manor was in complete chaos, with smoke and haze filling the air. When suddenly, a flshot up.
The bodyguards on duty rushed to put out the fire, making sure the flames didn't reach the arsenal.
At that moment, several helicopters hovered above the manor, their rotor noise almost bursting eardrums.
When Kenneth and his team arrived, they could hear explosions from afar, and thick smoke was spiraling into the
night sky.
Barely conscious, Phoebe's pupils constricted at the sound of the explosion, a hint of madness showing in her
eyes. She knew that landmines were buried around the area, and a small misstep could result in being blown up.
She thought, 'Does Ophelia set off the minefield while trying to get away? If so, she's probably blown to pieces.
This thought made all of Phoche's pain disappear instantly.
The helicopter approached and hovered a few meters above the ground. Kenneth jumped down and landed
smoothly, his black trench coat billowing around him.
The bodyguards who had been fighting the fire immediately pointed their guns at Kenneth after seeing this.

Jonathan lifted his eyelids, lus ice-blue eyes filled with defiance.
He said to Kenneth. "She's only using you. | never expected the boss of the Sinclair Group and the leader of the
Death Guild to be used so completely, making such a fuss over a young girl who's just taking advantage of you."
Jonathan looked at the helicopters with a mocking smile.
Phoebe couldn't believe what she heard. She thought, 'How could Jonathan be interested in Ophelia? Ophelia
wasn't tortured to death. In fact, the destruction of this estate was her doing.
Why didn't Jonathan kill her? Why wasn't she blown to pieces? How could it be? Impossible!
Phoebe's blood felt frozen; her eyes went red, and her entire body trembled. She thought, | endured so much
suffering in the dungeon, only to be misunderstood by Jonathan. What is so special about Ophelia that made
these two men eager to fight over her? Why?"
Kenneth sneered. "You almost got killed by my woman, and you're still fooling yourself. If the recording says true,
you wouldn't be holding a recording now, but Ophelia instead."
His words hit the target. His tone was dripping with arrogance. He looked at Jonathan as if he were a clown.
Jonathan remarked inside. His cocky demeanor really makeswant to punch him!" SEND GIFT
