Jilted Bride 213

Chapter 213

Ophelia spoke with determination, a stubborn look in her clear eyes.

Trent turned his head and met Ophelia's gaze, feeling oddly intimidated by whatever it was in her eyes. He found that the strong aura from Ophelia was somewhat similar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen this before. He sighed and gave in. He said, "Okay, as long as Kenneth agrees to your development. I have no objections."

Trent's words caught Ophelia by surprise. She thought, "His tone is so confident as if it is obvious that Kenneth won't approve.

Trent added, "If Kenneth agrees to your development, then I have nothing else to add. He thought. "If anything goes wrong, someone else will take the blame; it wont be my concern.

Meeting Trent's crafty gaze, Ophelia furrowed her brow. She tried to read something from his expression, but saw nothing.

Trent continued, "You only need to submit a feasibility report for the land development and the seawater test data. If it's approved, you can start the development"

This was exactly what Ophelia wanted to hear. She said. Thank you, Mr. Louis

Trent sighed. He thought. She is too naive. It isn't that straightforward. But perhaps it's for the best; by the time she finishes all this, I might not be in this position anymore. What happens then won't concern him" After leaving the Urban Development Bureau, Ophelia received a call from Kenneth.

Kenneth asked, "Where are you! Come to the Sinclair Group"

Ophelia replied, "Alright" She rarely questioned Kenneth's intentions. If free, she'd go wherever he wanted her to be.

At the top floor of the Sinclair Group Kenneth sat on the spacious leather couch, one hand supporting his forehead as he rubbed his temples.
