Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 190

Chapter 190

In the upstairs lounge, besides Xander's eloquent chatter, the others barely spoke. Victor occasionally engaged in brief discussions with him about development and other subjects.

Ophelia couldn't quite follow the conversation, which explained why she was allowed to stay.

Xander turned his head to Kenneth, hoping to discuss some economics.

Xander's name matched his casual and free-spirited personality, his tone and demeanor were sharply different from his formal speeches.

Perhaps it was the resemblance to Noah, but somehow Ophelia felt Xandler was very approachable.

Elena on the other hand, was very reserved. Besides a slight smile earlier, she kept a neutral expression the entire time, looking completely detached.

Kenneth, standing next to Xander, didn't show any reaction after hearing his words. He kept his eyes down, gently stroking Ophelia's ring with his thumb, examining cach joint on her finger with great care. Xander said. "Kenneth, sometimes you shouldn't focus solely on making money. Come over to my residence more often. I need to seek advice from you young people on many matters

"I almost forgot that you're friends with my three children. It's a shame, though; they're all busy with their respective fields and rarely come home.

As Xander finished speaking, Elena stood up and said, "Carry on your conversation. Excuse me."
