Jilted Bride 106

Chapter 106

Ophelia asked, "Why? Do I seem cruel to you now?"

A flash of shock crossed Rex's face before he quickly averted his gaze, feeling a twinge of guilt. He thought. 'How does she know what I was thinking? That's terrifying. Mom is right. The more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous she is. My angel has turned into a devil in no time.

"If you're scared, then be good and attend the acting classes. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with the consequences, Ophelia said as she placed a thick stack of papers before him

Rex felt aggrieved, but the moment he thought about Ophelia's position in the Carnegie family, he immediately caved.

"Jason"" Rex shouted toward the door, and Jason rushed into the lounge. The way Rex had yelled was so desperate that Jason thought something terrible must've happened.

I'm not taking on any work for the time being. Sign me up for all those acting classes, Rex said.

"W-what?" Jason's expression looked like he had just been struck by lightning He thought, Is Rex out of his mind, or had he suddenly turned over a new leaf?

Jason glanced at Ophelia with pure admiration. He thought. How on earth had she managed to make Rex this obedient! For the past two years, I had begged and pleaded to no avail"

Rexx charming eyes drooped. If his fans saw him like this, they would be heartbroken. Even though he was lazy and carefree, his face still had a lethal charm. Watching him now, looking like a wilting flower, it was hard not to feel sorry for him.

Ophelia sighed. "How about this. If you diligently attend the classes. I'll give you my allowance. How does that sound Bethany gave her 200 thousand dollars as pocket money every month, which she intended to use to buy gifts for the Carnegie family. But it would be great if that money could motivate Rex.

"Your allowance? Rex's eyes brightened for a moment but quickly dimmed again. "Forget it. Keep that allowance for yourself. I'm still a celebrity, you know. I'm not exactly strapped for cash" He couldn't possibly take money from a woman not even over his dead body. Ophelia thought, "Did I just get rejected? Well, it made sense. As long as his funds aren't cut off, his pocket money is definitely more than mine.

"Oh right. I haven't given you a proper welcome gift yet. Later tonight, just pick any car you like from my garage, Rex said, looking utterly defeated. The mere thought of attending those endless acting classes gave him a headache.

"If you really want to give me a gift, go home and study that script properly," Ophelia replied, adding another book to his already thick stack of materials.

Rex wanted to cry.
