Jilted Bride 167

Chapter 167

The next day, Phoebe's shoulder injury was mostly healed, and she just needed to be discharged for recovery at home.

"Ms. Davidson, I'm here to pick you up," said Caleb.

Seeing Caleb, Phoebe became happy and asked, "Did Kenny send you to pick me up?"

Caleb replied, "No, it was Mrs. Sinclair who sent me. The hotel has already been prepared for you."

"Mrs. Sinclair?" Phoebe murmured in confusion, her smile instantly vanishing and her eyes losing their brightness.

Caleb and Ray were both key members of the Death Guild and close confidants of Kenneth. It was surprising that Caleb would call Ophelia "Mrs. Sinclair".

Phoebe thought, 'How can this be possible?'

Caleb asked, "The hotel is booked for seven days at 300 dollars a day. Mrs. Sinclair asked if you'd like to pay in cash or by transfer."

Phoebe was shocked.

However, Caleb kept a serious expression, acting with a strictly businesslike attitude.

Phoebe took a deep breath, maintained a gentle smile, and said, "Fiona, please make the transfer for me. Thank Elia for me." Caleb drove Phoebe to the hotel and called Ophelia after leaving, "Mrs. Sinclair, Ms. Davidson has been dropped off at the hotel, she has transferred the money to me."

Ophelia said, "Alright, keep the money. Consider it my gift for you and Barrett to buy cigarettes."

After hanging up, Ophelia had already reached the West End.

The West End was selected as the filming location for With Love as My Cause due to its old, undeveloped neighborhoods, which provided a fitting backdrop for the story. Additionally, the hotel hosting the film's commencement ceremony was conveniently located nearby.

As soon as Ophelia entered the hotel lobby, she noticed a huge ad banner with the name of the film and the promotional photos taken just a few days ago.

Thomas played Franklin Edwards.

In the photo, he wore a perfectly tailored black suit, one hand holding his tie and the other in his pocket. He turned his head slightly, showing off his perfect side profile. Rex played Aiden Grant.

He was wearing an army green hoodie under a denim jacket, with the hood partially up and headphones around his neck. With his hands in his pockets, he walked in the opposite direction of Franklin. Aiden's path led him to Freya Langley in a police uniform, played by Sharon.

All three of them looked stunningly attractive, and the promotional shot captured an especially artistic vibe.

However, Ophelia found it strangely odd.
