Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 358

The Carnegie family's car was parked downstairs. Ophelia opened the door for Theo. Then she walked around to the other side and got in.

Theo said, "Elia, tell me the truth. What's really going on with Kenneth?"

The car was quiet. It was just the two of them inside, while a few bodyguards stood about six feet

away outside.

Seeing that Ophelia wouldn't tell him, Theo didn't push any further. With something so serious happening and only her returning, it was already clear what that meant.

Something must have happened to Kenneth, or else he wouldn't have let Ophelia handle all this on her own.

Theo said, "Elia, I'll come and support you if necessary. With me around, Zayn won't dare do anything to you. That brat has been involved in many shady dealings these years. If Michael finds out, he'll be in trouble." Theo thought, 'If I hadn't arrived just in time today, Elia would have ended up being bullied. I know exactly what those bastards are plotting.

Seeing the angry expression on Theo's face, Ophelia found it a bit endearing. She felt really warm.

She said, "Don't worry, Theo. I can handle this."

It was quite obvious now that Zayn was backing Hardy and Francis up, and there probably was an even bigger backer behind Zayn.

Ophelia said, "But what kind of shady stuff has Zayn been up to these years?"

Theo pursed his lips and sighed. "The Huxley family is doing pharmaceutical business, right? Ahem... Let's not bring it up. If it were in the old days, what they're doing would make them traitors, total sellouts!

"People like that will do anything to make a buck. They team up with foreign pharmaceutical companies, ship domestic drugs abroad, slap a foreign label on them, and sell them back at inflated prices just because they're 'imported. The price skyrockets tenfold." Just talking about it made Theo angry.

He continued, "And those medical devices... They're all making money off us folks the same way."

Ophelia said, "Is the Huxley family really that out of fund?"

Theo said, "Humph. The Huxley family has big ambitions! Zayn doesn't just want his family to be one of the three major families in Dellanex. His ambitions have always been greater."
