Chapter 239

The voice on the other end of the line was unmistakable. It was Ivy.

Her tone was steady, with a faint huskiness that made it unforgettable after just one listen.

Ophelia wasn't the least bit surprised by the call.

Considering how her and Phoebe's plans had failed, it was only a matter of time before Ivy reached out.

"Alright, name the place." Ophelia agreed without hesitation, glancing at the time on her wristwatch.

"You should already know where I'm staying. I'll be waiting for you at the rooftop restaurant. I don't want Kenneth to know about this meeting. You know what to do," she added. "Understood." Ophelia nodded.

Ophelia had wanted to talk to Ivy alone anyway.

As soon as the call ended, Kenneth's name flashed on her screen

His deep, pleasant voice carried through the phone. "Still at Carnegie Villa?"

"Yes... Yes, you go ahead and eat lunch without me. I'll be back a little later," said Ophelia.

"Don't humor him too much. He'll start pushing his luck." Kenneth's displeasure was evident. Chess games weren't enough

and now Theo wanted Ophelia to stay for lunch too.

Ophelia chuckled lightly. "Alright... next time, come with me. He wouldn't dare overstep then."

'Sorry about that, Grandpa. I'm throwing you under the bus here, Ophelia wondered.

Half an hour later, Ophelia arrived at the rooftop restaurant of Everland Hotel.

From a distance, she spotted a woman in an elegant dark red dress sitting by the window.

Her poise was impeccable, making it nearly impossible to guess her age from this angle.

The rooftop restaurant was exclusive to guests staying in the hotel suites, so it was practically empty.

Ophelia approached and took the seat across from Ivy.
