Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 93

Chapter 93

Ophelia rubbed her temples, silently staring at the person in the photo with a slight frown.

There were three lead roles in total-two male protagonists and female character whose screen time occupied about one-fifth of the story. The story took place in the early 2000s. One of the male leads, Aiden Grant, was a high school student. His father, Logan Grant, was a member of an underground organization. Logan was assassinated just before Aiden's University Admissions Testing.

Aiden vowed to avenge Logan, but because of Logan's shaily identity, the police refused to investigate. Aiden has no choice but to seek help from Logan's closest friend, the other male lead, Franklin Edwards.

Franklin was thirteen years older than Aiden. Initially, Franklin refused to get involved. When Aiden dropped out of school, became homeless, and started getting into street fights, Franklin stepped in. He took Aiden home and Rave him food

Franklin urged Aiden to abandon his quest for revenge. But Aiden, stubborn as ever, didn't relent. Seeing Aiden's determination, Franklin began training him in combat, gradually preparing him to become a member of the underground organization.

Franklin was willing to break any rule to protect Aiden from harm. Anyone could betray him except Aiden.

Aiden would defy justice to help Franklin, but the one person he couldn't forgive being Logan's murderer was Franklin,

Given the subtle romantic undertones between the two male leads, Ophelia needed actors with solid acting skills. She didn't need to worry about Thomas

But Rex was a wildcard. He had no acting chops, but thanks to his family's backing, no one dared to control him. Rex had debuted as a singer at 17, and by 20, he'd taken on several lead roles in films and TV shows

But his acting? Truly bad. Fans, however, didn't care and supported him no matter what. His fans were particularly against any romantic scenes, which meant that in Rex's last school drama with Emily, there wasn't even a hand-holding scene, just to avoid backlash. Ophelia thought, 'For this show, at least there are no kissing scenes to worry about, but as for Rex's acting....
