Jilted Bride 211

Chapter 211

Hearing this familiar and commanding voice, Ophelia felt a deep sense of calm and stability wash over her.

She put away all her sharp edges and walked towards Kenneth, standing by his side like a gentlewoman, feeling secure. Her beautiful eyes held nothing but Kenneth.

She thought. So what if I am fiery? With him around, it is hard not to be fiery.

She asked, "Weren't you supposed to be back tomorrow!"

"I missed you, I wanted to come back and see you first, Kenneth said as he tightly held Ophelia's small hand, looking at her. His dark eyes were like whirlpools, almost pulling her in.

When Cecilia realized Kenneth's gaze wasn't on her, her eyes were instantly filled with intense jealousy. She thought, "Why Ophelia? What makes her deserving of standing beside Kenneth

As soon as Harris saw Kenneth had arrived, he changed his earlier demeanor and immediately became very ingratiating

He said, "Mr. Sinclair, why didn't you let us know in advance about your visit? The birthday party is quite modest, we didn't expect you to honor us with your presence."

Kenneth frowned. It felt like the buzzing of flies in his ears, and a hint of irritation flickered between his sharp brows. He glanced sideways at Harris, his cold gaze cutting like a knife. He asked, "Tired of being in this position?" Wh-What Harris asked and gulped, his lips dry. He said, "No, Mr. Sinclair, I-I didn't..."

He didn't expect Kenneth to come today. He looked at Ophelia and thought, 'Seriously? Just for a woman!"

He had heard of Kenneth's tactics but had never seen them himself. Just hearing Kenneth speak sent shivers down his spine, and weakened his heart.

Rumor had it that Kenneth was the type of person who didn't even consider military leaders in Heloria worth acknowledging. As for a mere department head like Harris, Kenneth was surely thought even less of.

Harris didn't dare doubt the truth of those words. Ending his career could happen with just a single sentence from Kenneth

Harris explained, "You've really misunderstood. I just nicely asked Ms. Carnegie to join me for a drink at the birthday party, with no harm intended. You've misunderstood."
