Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 154

Chapter 154

"What should we do, Elia. Phoebe tried hard to free her hands and feet, but it was no use.

Compared to Phoebe's restless anxiety, Ophelia was much calmer. She sat quietly, breathing softly without making much noise.

"Aren't you scared?" Phoebe had lost her earlier composed demeanor. Talking seemed to be the only way to calm her nerves. "Not bad." Ophelia leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, as if gathering energy.

The party ended at 10:30 PM, and when Caleb and Barrett didn't see her come out, they would surely tell Kenneth. She was confident Kenneth would find her. She just needed to stall for time to keep herself safe.

Phoebe's breathing became heavier. "Elia, can I talk now?"

"Suit yourself!"

"Why do you think they captured the two of us? Phoebe asked, puzzled.
