Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 342

Ophelia could already see the concerns on their faces, but out of respect for her, no one expressed any objections.

"Why would the political elite agree to developing this area?" an old man asked. "Back then, it was the politicians who caused the trouble."

"What did you say?" Ophelia was confused, thinking she must have misheard.

She wondered, 'Was the disaster back then orchestrated by the politicians?'

She looked at Kenneth, who also seemed clueless about what the old man was suggesting.

Kenneth gave a cold look at Kaden, who was still in shock. Kaden shook his head vigorously, indicating he knew nothing.

Ophelia wanted to ask more questions, but now wasn't the right time.

She said, "Though I didn't see it, I've learned a bit about what happened back then. Please trust me. I have the official approval for the redevelopment rights of the slum. I promise no one will get a raw deal while I'm here." The old man gave Ophelia a meaningful look but remained silent.

What difference would it make where he spent his last few years of life?

But if it meant these children and young people could have better lives, how could he possibly stand in their way? After a moment of silence, Felix said despite the pain, "Ophelia, will we truly be treated equally in the future?" He thought, 'Will we finally earn fair wages and not be looked down upon?'

"Yes, you will." Ophelia stood there, the warm sunlight shining on her, giving her a halo of glory.

Only by ensuring that "the slum doesn't exist" can the people here stop being discriminated against.

Felix pondered for a moment before replying, "Ophelia, I believe you."

"W-We believe you too," his group of followers quickly echoed one after another.

Several elders nodded. "We trust the kids who came out of the slum. We trust you unconditionally."

"Then please cooperate with me, sign the contracts, and receive part of the settlement money first. Follow the plan," Ophelia said.
