Jilted Bride 264

Chapter 264

"Oh, my apologies, Mrs. Sinclair. I completely forgot Mr. Sinciale left early this morning, didn't he? Flow come he left you all alone the chubby woman said casually. Her eyes appeared innocent, but there was a distinct air of disdain and contempt.

Ophelia's strikingly sharp features were beautiful enough to stir jealousy.

It Isla's looks could be rated a five, Ophelia's were a fifty.

'But if Mr. Sinclair really liked her, he wouldn't have left her here alone on the island, she thought. Clearly, she doesn't hold much importance to him. Ophelia ignored the chubby woman's provocation and looked at Isla, who at least seemed to know how to behave. "Call Charles over." "Okay, Mrs. Sinclair," Isla said.

Just as Isla reached for the phone at the front desk, the chubby woman quickly placed her hand on Isla's.

"This island belongs to Mr. Sinclair, and Charles is in charge of everything here. How could we possibly have his contact information?

"Mrs. Sinclair, if you need any service, just let us know. No need to trouble the boss over something small," the chubby woman said. "You're acting a bit too high and mighty," she added, her voice low but audible enough for those nearby to hear.

Ophelia glanced at her name tag. "Abigail Peterson?"

"Yes, Mrs. Sinclair, Is there anything I can assist you with?" Abigail's tone was dripping with sarcasm, and the smile on her face carried no hint of respect. "You can pack your things and leave. You're fired," Ophelia said.

"What? What did you say?" Abigail straightened up in confusion. "How dare you fire me? This island doesn't just belong to you!"

"That's why I asked you to call Charles and have him come handle it," Ophelia responded.

Her words left Abigail momentarily stunned, and she quickly displayed a hint of panic in her eyes.

Seeing the three of them frozen, Ophelia took out her phone and sent Charles a voice message on WhatsApp.

Within three minutes, Charles, who had been overseeing the expansion of the women's restroom, hurried over.

Sweat was visible on his forehead, but he didn't complain.

After seeing Kenneth's attitude toward Ophelia earlier, Charles immediately understood that Ophelia was no ordinary person in Kenneth's eyes. "Mrs. Sinclair, is there something you need?" Charles asked.

Seeing Charles, usually so stern, now acting so polite and even a bit obsequious toward Ophelia, Abigail felt both frustrated and stunned.

"Mrs. Sinclair, are you settling personal scores now? Yes, I may have said a few things, but I wasn't the only one talking. I was
