Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 327 His expression was just like that of a kid who was afraid that someone might steal his toy.

Ophelia looked on, amused and exasperated. "Can't I even have a look?" "Sure, I didn't say you couldn't look." Kenneth raised his eyebrows, glanced at the two marriage certificates in his hand, and then passed hers to her. Ophelia opened it and glanced at the photograph. It was well taken, with her and Kenneth' heads close together, both smiling with gleams of laughter in their eyes. "Finished? It's tto give it back to me." Ophelia was taken aback. Before she could take a second look, it was already out of her hand.

"You won't find anything new. One glance is enough," Kenneth said, as if it was the most obvious thing. Ophelia was speechless and thought, 'Nothing to see? He sure seemed to have taken a long look earlier Kenneth adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, placed the two marriage certificates together, and carefully locked them in the safe.

All day long, he had opened the safe more times than he could count.

In the evening, a black Maybach drove through the open gates of Carnegie Villa. The villa was well decorated with festive ornaments, as if hosting a celebration. Ophelia got out of the car and hadn't even reached the door when a blur of purple dashed towards her.

"Sis," Rex, who recently landed an endorsement, had dyed his hair purple. He rushed to her like an excited husky with his hands up, practically wagging his "tail" The next moment, seeing Kenneth behind her, he quickly lowered his hands and stood up straight. "Hey, Kenneth." "Hey," Kenneth replied casually, passing the bouquet to Rex.

Rex didn't dare to complain, carrying it as he followed them into the house.

Rex was really timid before Kenneth.

Theo stood up. "Con, have a seat." A smile had been stuck on his face ever since he saw the two of them.

Almost all the members of the Carnegie family were present.

It showed the great importance of this event.

Mrs. Carnegie and Bethany had been busy with preparing a large meal since the afternoon and even the mahogany dining table was well set up.

The family gathered around the round dining table, and Finlay and Bethany gave the newlyweds a wedding gift-a pair of platinum love locks with a 10-carat pink diamond heart set in the center. Clara and Henry also gave gifts. Clara presented a jewelry box.

When it was opened, it was full of jewelry. "I'm unsure what kind of jewelry you like, so I bought one from each collection." Chapter 327 Receiving this gift, Ophelia took a deep breath; the Carnegies' extravagance was on full display.

"Hey sis, Kenneth, I wrote a song for you both. Letsing it to you..." Just as Rex was about to start, Henry and Clara pulled him down to sit between them. Clara said, "Alright, don't show off." Henry added, "Don't embarrass yourself." Rex didn't feel embarrassed, at all. They were the ones who cut off his financial support; he had no money to buy presents, so he had to showcase his talent instead. Seeing Rex' head drooped, Ophelia tried to comfort him. "Uh... we appreciate your thoughtful gesture." Jackson stood up from his seat beside Mrs. Carnegie and Finlay. Leo is studying abroad and can't be here. This is the gift I prepared for you." His gift was different from all the others.

He was a student majoring in biotech. Ophelia once requested him to help check the water quality in a deprived area.

He spent more than three months developing a way to treat large areas of sewage and break down ocean waste. That was the most crucial part of the feasibility report that Ophelia had been expecting.

With this solution, the slum development project was halfway toward success.

"Thanks, Jackson," said Ophelia.

Hearing the thanks of Ophelia, Jackson felt very satisfied.

"You shouldn't have. We're all family here," Mrs. Carnegie said approvingly as she glanced at her son, seeing that the gift was exactly what was needed.

"Oh, by the way, I've picked out sgood dates for the wedding for you two. You and Kenneth can take a look after dinner." "A wedding... there's no rush to plan it," Ophelia said, not considering the matter. She didn't care much for these formalities Besides, Ophelia couldn't tell them about Kenneth needing surgery.

"Both of them are focused on their careers right now; when they are ready, we'll handle everything. No hurry," Finlay said. After all, Kenneth' wedding shouldn't be done carelessly.

At that moment, Theo, seated at the head of the table, raised his hand, and Gerald, the butler, immediately handed over the prepared documents.

Everyone at the table went silent for a moment.

"Elia, this is what I promised you, 5% of the Carnegie family's shares as your dowry. Now you and Kenneth have registered your marriage, it's tfor you to have them," said Theo.

Kenneth leaned back in his mahogany chair, legs crossed. No matter where he was, he had an aura of dominance, but he was much more gracious to the Carnegie now than he had been before. "Take it," he said calmly.

The whole Sinclair Group belonged to his little one now, and her worth was substantial. Collecting these stocks from the Carnegie family was well within her capability. Chapter 327 Ophelia didn't hesitate and reached out to take it.

As they finished their meal, the lively family atmosphere surrounded the two of them.

This suddenly reminded Ophelia of the twhen the Hastings family sent her to the Rosewood Manor. Back then, only a driver took her there.

Though she later learned she wasn't related to the Hastings by blood, at the time, thinking she was getting married, she felt quite lost.

Now she realized that having a family means getting married like this.

After dinner, the family sat on the sofa chatting, and Gerald cin from the outside, holding a lot of gifts in his hand.

"Mr. Carnegie, this is..." Gerald wished to speak but stopped on a second thought, and looking at the Land! people on the sofa, he didn't continue. Just by looking at those gifts, the expression on Mr.

Carnegie's face had the answer. Theo' smile suddenly solidified.

After a moment's silence, he commanded coldly. Threw them all out.

"Yes, sir. But..." Gerald took out something from the top gift box, which was a bronze pocket watch. "Is this also thrown away?" Seeing the bronze pocket watch. Theo' eyes froze. After a few seconds, he snorted.

"Throw it away," said Theo with a lot of energy.

"Yes." Gerald acted accordingly to throw out the gifts.

The harmonious atmosphere in the living room suddenly beca little strange.

The younger ones didn't know what happened.

Ophelia glanced at the time. It was getting late. She stood up, and Kenneth beside her stood up with her. "Theo, we'll head back now." "It is getting late; tfor scouple time," Clara joked, though her smile wasn't very deep.

Theo stood up to take Ophelia's hand. His old, wizened hand gently "Take care patted the back of hers.

on the road, and remember to cback often to keepcompany

"Okay." Ophelia nodded, feeling that Theo's gaze on her was a bit odd, full of reluctance and something else. It was moods that she couldn't quite understand.
