Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 293

After Ophelia finished getting her things and came out, she ran to Ethan waiting for the elevator.

From afar, Ethan felt a sharp, cold gaze fix on him, like a wild beast eyeing prey, ready to pounce and devour him. That feeling sent shivers down his spine, like a prickly thorn on his back.

He turned his head and met Kenneth's gaze, feeling a thick tension that only men could sense.

Kenneth's features beneath the hat brim were sharply defined, radiating a strong, commanding presence, as if everyone else was beneath him.

After a two-second stare down, Ethan's gaze lowered and noticed Ophelia in a wheelchair. He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What happened to you?"

She knew Kenneth's nature well; if she spoke even one more word, Ethan might lose the chance to stay here. So it was wiser for her to stay silent.

After they got downstairs, Kenneth lifted her from the wheelchair into the car.
