Jilted Bride 283

Chapter 283

The location sent to her phone was in a Eurasian-style mansion outside the town. The area was sparsely populated and heavily guarded, with roses all around looking like a sea of vivid red blood.

As soon as Ophelia stepped into the area, she saw a familiar face-Fiona. She was Jonathan's subordinate. She had encountered her before and even had a showdown.

Before coming, she made sure to bring along the special potion Ronin had developed for her, just in case.

Fiona looked at Ophelia and said, "Ms. Spencer, it's been a while. Please, this way."

Fiona's expression was polite, but she felt like she could crush her teeth. She definitely wouldn't forget the loss she suffered because of Ophelia, though there would be a good time for payback; she wasn't in a rush to act just yet. Ophelia followed behind Fiona, observing the surroundings. As soon as she walked in, she noticed Scott on the couch. His eyes were closed tight, and there was a scrape on his cheekbone.

"Scott!" Ophelia didn't even think; she lifted her foot to rush over when suddenly she felt something underfoot.

Several sharp sounds sliced through the air around her. From below the second-floor railing, several crossbows fired at once, a barrage of cold arrows shooting right at her.

Luckily, Ophelia reacted quickly enough to barely dodge, but an arrow still grazed her shoulder, leaving a bloody mark on her fair arm.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, those crossbow arrows could have easily taken her life.

Though this place wasn't exactly filled with traps, right now, as soon as she stepped closer to Scott, those arrows would shoot. That was truly wicked.

Fiona gave a cold sneer. "Ms. Spencer, you'd better not act recklessly." She cautioned.

Just as she finished speaking, Phoebe, wearing a simple long dress, gracefully walked down the spiral staircase in the center of the hall.

A charming smile adorned her face, the very picture of grace and elegance. "Elia, it's been a long time." Indeed, it had been a while.

Phoebe, Ophelia wasn't surprised at all; the Davidson siblings were two of a kind.
