Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 146

Chapter 146

Just then, a little boy who had received some food walked up to her. "Miss, my grandma asked me to thank you..."

One of the little boy's sleeves was empty, and his cheeks were rosy. His smile was as bright as a blooming flower. Soon after, a little girl came over, her lips showing signs of a congenital cleft lip.

In her flushed palms, she held a few beautiful seashells. "Thank you, Miss. I found these shells and I want to give them to you." These might be the best things she had to offer. Ophelia cherished the shells as she took them. "They're lovely, thank you."

Seeing her appreciation, the little girl was overjoyed, her blue eyes resembled a sky full of stars.

She thought, 'Maybe I can ask him to test the components of this water.

"There's a political and business dinner the day after tomorrow. It may be a good opportunity to find out about the permits and materials needed to develop this area.

Just as Ophelia turned to leave, something suddenly lunged at her. On closer inspection, it was a person with missing limbs The individual, with wild hair, screamed, but when her mouth opened, her tongue had clearly been cut out. The scene was quite terrifying. The missing arm supported her as she climbed up and lunged at Ophelia again.

Barrett was quick and kicked the person away as easily as shooing off a stray dog. "Asking for trouble!"

The person fell backward, her loose hair flying back, revealing half of her face.
