Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 244

Chapter 244

'Kenneth was so young back then, how could he have known about those things? He must be trying to deceive me.' Zayn thought to himself.

He wiped the cold sweat that had started to bead on his forehead.

"Mr. Sinclair, the Huxley family has been long-standing allies of the Sinclair family over the years. I'm not sure how much you know about what happened back then, but I can assure you that it wasn't just my doing. "I believe you're more aware than I am of the role Ronan played in all of this," Zayn said, his voice steady but tinged with

unease.

Seeing that Kenneth remained silent, Zayn let out an awkward laugh and continued, "Forgive me for being blunt, but you know Ophelia came from Gloomhaven.

"Since she's after the Gloomhaven project, her intentions can't be simple. Mr. Sinclair, aren't you afraid she's using you?"

Kenneth barely lifted his eyelids, tilting his head slightly. His face was unreadable, making it impossible to discern his

emotions.

Even Zayn, a veteran in the business world, couldn't understand what Kenneth was thinking at that moment.

"Mr. Sinclair, we're all businessmen here. Bringing up what happened back then won't benefit anyone. Let's make a deal. "I'm willing to let go

of one more project, but that's the most I can do. I won't back down any further," Zayn said, his tone

firm.

Zayn believed he had made his position clear. If Kenneth pushed any further, the Huxley family wouldn't be so eas intimidated.

Zayn had a clear understanding of Ophelia's true intentions, even if others didn't.

If she succeeded, she could stir up a storm at Dellanex.

By then, neither the Huxley family nor the Sinclair family would fare any better than the Wright family.

In Zayn's view, Kenneth wasn't a fool, and there had to be limits to how far he would indulge a woman.

"It seems I wasn't clear enough earlier," Kenneth said, standing up and adjusting the watch on his wrist. He took a step out of the shadows, his movements slow and deliberate.
