Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 249

Chapter 249

Chloe's movements were swift, completely devoid of any emotion.

Noah blinked and lowered his head, shoveling pieces of pie into his mouth. It was his favorite flavor, yet he found it tasteless.

"You should still take the money. I know I've caused you quite a bit of trouble," Noah mumbled, his words muffled by the pie in his mouth.

Chloe's hand, still holding the contract, trembled, her heart tightening.

She couldn't even bring herself to look at Noah's expression as he spoke those words while lying in bed.

"There's no need to worry. The agreement you signed includes a gift clause. You can accept this money without any hesitation," Adams said, his long, clean fingers holding a check as he handed it over.

Chloe looked down, her eyes slightly reddened. She stared at the check, hesitating, unable to take any further action.

"Even if you don't take it, I'll make sure the money gets to your account. The West family doesn't owe anyone a favor," Adams added.

His implication was clear.

Once this was settled, she shouldn't try to use it to bargain for anything from the West family.

When Ophelia walked in, this was the scene she encountered.

Ophelia quickly rushed to Chloe's side, instantly becoming a protective shield, her entire posture bristling with defense as she stood up for the person she cared about.

"The West family really is efficient, isn't it? Not a trace of emotion.

"Is this how you settle things, just exchanging money and calling it even?" Ophelia's delicate brow furrowed, her clear, unclouded eyes staring coldly at Adams, their chill a stark contrast to the warmth she had shown earlier. Adams was taken aback. "No, you misunderstand. This is just appropriate compensation. If you feel it's not enough..."

Adams, always clear-headed, suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

He felt uneasy under Ophelia's gaze, as though he were being reprimanded by his own mother.

"I don't need it," Chloe said, cutting him off.

"Then please take it back, Mr. West," Ophelia said, her voice icy and sharp.

Adams instinctively pulled the check back, looking toward the door for help, his eyes pleading toward Kenneth, who stood there casually with his hands in his pockets. "Kenneth..." Adams hesitated.
