Jilted Bride 236
Chapter 236
The entire Cloudin Hotel was as silent as a tomb because of Kenneth's arrival.
It was the first tthe hotel staff had witnessed such a scene.
Kenneth frequently appeared on television news.
He was the one who controlled everything in Heloria with a single hand. They wondered why he could possibly
show up in such a small hotel. What on earth has happened?’ they thought.
Kenneth's presence carried a tremendous sense of pressure.
He lifted his eyelids, his cold eyes narrowing as he stared at the woman in front of him. "It seems Ivy didn't take
my warning to heart."
"Kenneth, what do you mean by that?" Phoebe hesitated.
"Have | been too merciful to you?" Kenneth's tone was indifferent.
When Phoebe met his gaze, her pupils trembled.
The last tKenneth almost strangled her, his eyes were filled with anger. But now, his gaze was completely
indifferent, like he was looking at a corpse. Phoebe panicked, and the tears on her face froze instantly.
"Mr. Sinclair, the hotel has been completely sealed off, but the elevator and the surveillance cameras on the
eighth floor are down," Mark reported. That was already very clear.
As Mark finished speaking, Kenneth took long strides toward the elevator.
Phoebe hurried to follow, taking a different elevator up to the eighth floor.
"Search room by room," Kenneth ordered.
"Yes, sir."
A group of bodyguards in black suits kicked open every door on the eighth floor, making a loud noise.
Ophelia, sitting in room 8016 drinking coffee and eating dessert, was startled by the commotion.
'What is going on?' she wondered.
The closer Phoebe got to room 8015, the faster her heart raced, and she even felt a rush of excitement. She had
completely forgotten about the cold look Kenneth had given her earlier. It had been so long by now. Ophelia
should have already becthe muscle guy's prey.
Ophelia probably wouldn't even be able to move now.
'How would Kenneth react when he saw that?' Phoebe thought.

As Phoebe thought this, more tears welled up on her face, and she rushed forward.

But something was wrong with the noise coming from the room
Phoebe stopped in her tracks as she wondered, 'How could it be men's voices? And there are more than one?
What's going on here?"
The group froze in front of room 8015, their eyes seeking Kenneth's approval.
Mark dared not look into Kenneth's eyes. If Ophelia was really inside...
"What are you all waiting for?" Kenneth's tone was cold.
At that moment, the door behind them opened.
"Wait. Don't ruin their fun," said Ophelia.
Hearing Ophelia's voice, everyone turned to look. Ophelia was leaning lazily against the door frwith her
arms crossed.
Mark's heart immediately returned to his chest.
Only then did Mark dare to look at Kenneth.
He knew that Ronin's medicine would help.
Kenneth was certain that Ophelia wouldn't be so easily fooled.
When their gazes met, Ophelia flashed a sly smile.
She then looked at Phoebe, whose expression was far more tic.
"Sorry, Phoebe. Looks like I've disappointed you again," said Ophelia.
Ophelia had known all along that Phoebe couldn't possibly leave Kenneth out of this good show.
It was just too bad. Phoebe didn't get to see what she'd hoped for
The more affectionately Ophelia called her name, the heavier Phoebe's heart sank.
'How could this happen?’ Phoebe wondered.
Phoebe had clearly seen Ophelia drinking the coffee, with a ring of skind of drug on the edge of her cup. A
tiny trace of the drug, even from her saliva, would make her excited for the whole night, and she couldn't escape
it... Phoebe had watched her fall into the trap, so why was it like this
She wondered who the people in this room were.
"Phoebe, I've already been tricked by you once. You really thought | wouldn't guard against you? Did you think
your acting was too good? Or did you just think | was too stupid?" Ophelia asked.
The first twas on the ship, where Ophelia had indeed been caught off guard.
The second twas at Waston. Even though Phoebe wasn't directly involved, it was tied to the Davidson family,
and Ophelia couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
Now, this was the third time. If Ophelia fell for it again, it would be rather embarrassing.
The indecent sounds from inside the room grew louder, and Kenneth stepped forward, pulling Ophelia into his
arms and covering one of her ears. "Let's go home."

"Yes?" Ophelia looked up, not hearing clearly what he said.
Kenneth lowered his gaze, leaned slightly forward, and whispered near her lips. "Home."
Ophelia pulled his hand away from her car. "But | still have something to grab."
She had to make the valuable video footage public.
With Zackary's reputation ruined, that would be enough to get him expelled from school. With this scandalous
video and the evidence Lesly had kept, he wouldn't be able to escape. As for Hendrick, this would be a lesson for
him.
"What's that? I'll send someone to get it." Kenneth furrowed his brow as the noises from the room intensified.
"The precious footage | kept for them," Ophelia said it seriously, blinking her eyes.
Kenneth glanced at the bodyguards beside him. "Go get it, and while you're at it... add a leading lady for them."
Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Phoebe.
The color drained from Phoebe's face in an instant.
"Kenneth... you can't do this to me." She took several steps back, but her heel twisted, and she suddenly
collapsed to the floor.
She could never go in. Just from the sounds, she could guess what was going on.

She absolutely couldn't go in. It would be deadly for her.
"What are you standing there for?" Kenneth's cold tone made Phoebe's heart drop to the pit of her stomach, her
whole body feeling colder than if she were soaking in freezing water.
"No, don't touch me. Don't touch me... Kenneth, this has nothing to do with me..." Phoebe cried out.
Phoebe's arms were grabbed by the bodyguards, and she struggled desperately to break free, but it was futile.
"Kenneth, why are you doing this to me? | love you. | love you... what's wrong with that? This whole thing was
Ivy's idea. You wouldn't dare hold Ivy accountable, so you take it out on me... Why?" she roared. "I've never done
anything to harm you, but you're treatinglike this? You've known Ophelia for such a short time, and we grew
up together. Kenneth..." she added.
Phoebe begged bitterly, but Kenneth remained unmoved.
Phoebe said, "Kenneth, please, | promise | won't do it again. Can't you think about all the good I've done for you?
I even took
a bullet for her. Don't you remember? If it weren't for me, that bullet would've hit her instead..."
Ophelia felt Kenneth's hand on hers, and she could clearly sense that the people around them were moved by
Phoebe's words. Ophelia knew Kenneth.
He wasn't as cold and heartless as he appeared.
That bullet had indeed been blocked by Phoebe for Ophelia, even though her intentions hadn't been pure.
At that moment, as the door opened, Ophelia spoke. "Enough."
Ophelia turned and walked slowly toward Phoebe.

"Your chance is over, there won't be a next time," her tone was cold.
She should understand what it meant.
Phoebe nodded desperately, her hatred carefully concealed.

After retrieving the hidden camera footage, Ophelia got into the car with Kenneth and returned to Rosewood
Manor.
Ray and Eric were also blending into the gro
