Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 273

Chapter 273

Jonathan only realized what had happened when a sharp pain came from his forearm. The subordinates immediately aimed their guns at hei: Some of them even fired shots,

With the gunshots, Ophelia quickly dodged, jumped up, and leapt into the sea. A splash erupted on the dark sea. By the time Jonathan grabbed the railing and looked down, the waves had already disappeared. Jonathan thought, Is this woman crazy? His ice-blue eyes were filled with rage. He immediately ordered his men to search the waters thoroughly.

Two hours passed, and the sky gradually grew lighter, the deep blue surface of the sea covered in thick fog

Someone reported, "Mr. Davidson... We couldn't find her. We've searched the nearby waters thoroughly

This location was quite far from the shore, and they'd searched the sea within a kilometer around the yacht. Jonathan said, "Not finding a body should mean she's still alive."

Otherwise, it would have been impossible not to find anything. The sun was up, and they hadn't seen anyone floating on the

water.

Jonathan's arm was wrapped in bandages. He never imagined that Ophelia would just leap into the sea, and he was filled with anger.

He thought, 'Am I really that much inferior to Kenneth? So detestable to her?'

By the shore, near a rock, Ophelia limped and staggered out of the sea, soaked to the skin. Her hair stuck to her cheeks, her lips turned white from the cold, and her whole body was trembling.

She forced herself to step cautiously through the leg cramps, finally collapsing heavily onto the sand as her calf seized up.

The sea wind at the shore felt like knives piercing her skin repeatedly, twisting without respite. She coughed a couple of times, staring at the calm sea.

She had been seeking an opportunity to escape since boarding the cruise ship. She was somewhat familiar with these waters, and when she saw the faint outline of a small island in the distance, she knew the slums were near. She carefully measured the distance and direction, then jumped into the sea, swimming desperately towards safety.

The icy water was so cold it felt like she was back in her past life when she was tied to sandbags and thrown into the deep, spending those endless, dark days. Luckily, she made it to the surface.
