Ophelia felt a sharp pain in her chest as those words struck her deeply, and although she was hurting inside, she made an effort to conceal her feelings from those around her. With a heavy heart, she simply stated, “It looks like the jade necklace isn’t here, so I suppose I’ll be on my way now,” and she began to turn away, hoping to escape the situation.Caroline, however, wore a smirk on her face, clearly enjoying the discomfort she was causing. “Honestly, you would just be wasting your time by leaving because that worthless necklace of yours is long gone now,” she said with a mocking chuckle that echoed with disdain. Those words immediately caused Ophelia to turn back and face her, her curiosity piqued by Caroline's comment.“What do you mean by that?” Ophelia asked, her voice rising with confusion and concern.With a sense of smugness, Caroline replied, “I mean to say that it has been sold already. Can’t you understand that?” As soon as Caroline completed her sentence, Berry, pr
Logan stood there, quietly observing the scene unfolding before him. He watched as Kennedy wrapped his arms around Ophelia in a warm embrace, and it was difficult for him to contain the annoyance that bubbled up inside him. The sight was almost too much to bear.With a slight scoff of exasperation, Logan was on the verge of opening the door to leave the moment that a new conversation began between the two of them, which abruptly halted him in his tracks. "Why didn’t you ever mention to me that you had a fiancée?" Ophelia inquired, her brow furrowed in slight confusion.Kennedy responded almost instantly, his tone brisk, "She means nothing to me; my parents just set me up with her." As Logan listened, he grasped the doorknob tightly in his hand, feeling the tension in his muscles as he watched the affection evident in Kennedy’s eyes. The way Kennedy looked at Ophelia, coupled with the sweet laughter that escaped her lips, seemed to create an intimate and playful atmosphere between
After Logan picked up his small bag, he effortlessly lifted Ophelia into his arms in a way that resembled how one might carry a bride. He was quite a bit taller than her, and in his embrace, she appeared almost like a little girl nestled comfortably. As they stepped outside, Ophelia instinctively clutched onto the fabric of his suit, causing him to halt in his tracks.With a playful grin, he teased her, saying, "Does Miss Ophelia have any issues with people looking at us?" It was clear that he already had an inkling about her feelings, and indeed, he was correct in his assumptions.Ophelia responded, her cheeks tinted with a hint of embarrassment, "Don’t you think it might feel a bit strange?" She used her hair to shield her face, which only made her look even more like a mischievous child resting in her mother’s protective embrace.Logan's expression grew serious for a moment as he replied, "But I find myself feeling a little impatient." His tone was smooth and enticing, full of
The only person who could possibly help Ophelia obtain the large sum of money she required was Logan.Ophelia felt an overwhelming sense of urgency to retrieve her beloved necklace, which she had lost. This necklace meant a great deal to her, and she was willing to go to great lengths to get it back. However, she was very cautious and did not want to let Abigail, know about her desperation. This was because she recognized that Abigail could be quite manipulative and deceptive, often playing tricks on people to get what she wanted.In a tense moment, Ophelia confronted Abigail and said, “I have recorded everything you just said. If you do not follow through with your promise, I will have no other choice but to take legal action against you and sue you.” Her voice was icy and stern, betraying her serious intentions. Abigail, on the other hand, reacted with a scoff of annoyance, dismissing Ophelia’s warning as if it were unimportant.After making her point, Ophelia turned on her heel
King looked at Ophelia’s furious face and couldn’t help but smirk in amusement. He continued to gently stroke her bare shoulders, seemingly unfazed by her anger. Ophelia, feeling a surge of frustration, forcefully pushed his hands away from her. As she did this, her gaze caught Caroline, who was discreetly capturing the scene with her camera from a distance. Ophelia let out a scoff in irritation, and the moment Caroline noticed Ophelia's reaction, she instantly halted her filming.“Why did you stop doing what you excel at, huh?!” Ophelia shouted in anger as she prepared to charge at Caroline. However, just as she was about to move, King swiftly pressed her against the wall, pinning her in place. “Arghhh,” Ophelia cried out in pain, realizing that her elbow had made hard contact with the wall, causing her discomfort.“Ah, your stubbornness is truly impressive! It seems I might need to remind you of events from the past,” he said with a smirk plastered across his face as Caroline tur
The intense discomfort that Ophelia was experiencing at that very moment was far greater than just the physical suffering she was going through in her body. This emotional agony stemmed from the fact that Logan had abruptly interrupted her when she needed his support the most. His sudden dismissal left her feeling utterly abandoned and in despair. With no other options available to her, Ophelia found herself compelled to reach out to Kennedy for assistance. However, unaware of her mistake, she accidentally dialed Berry's phone number instead.In a shaky voice filled with desperation, Ophelia pleaded, "Please, could you come to my location? I’m in so much pain, I really need help." As she spoke, tears began to flow down her cheeks.. Upon hearing the sound of her sobs, Berry immediately felt a surge of urgency and quickly rushed out of his office to assist her.At that very moment, Logan was on his way to Berry's office when he noticed Berry leaving in a hurry. This sight caused Loga
After walking for many, many hours, Ophelia found herself in a difficult situation. She was determined to find the right place where she could receive the exact amount of money she needed, but unfortunately, she wasn’t able to find the perfect spot. So, she realized that she had no other option but to call Mia, for help.“Mia, I really need your assistance,” Ophelia said slowly, trying to gather her thoughts.Mia responded quickly, “If you’re talking about money, I’m really sorry but I can’t help you right now. I’ve been trying to get in touch with my secretary who has my black card, and she said she will bring it to me this evening.”Ophelia felt a bit guilty and replied, “No, it’s not about money.” She took a deep breath and continued, “What I need is some information. Do you know of any company or business that is looking for someone and is willing to pay up to $1,000,000 in two months?” She asked this while chuckling a little, trying to lighten the mood.Mia laughed and teased her
It was already nighttime, and for some reason that Ophelia could not quite understand, she felt an overwhelming sense of excitement bubbling up inside her. Perhaps it was because Logan was going to come back home soon, and the thought of seeing him again made her heart flutter with joy and anticipation.As Ophelia stepped out of Abigail's apartment, she immediately saw a woman who was around middle age, and this woman was strikingly beautiful. She wore a lovely blue floral gown that really made her stand out, along with a pair of sunglasses perched on her nose. Ophelia recognized this woman right away, and an instinct within her urged her to avoid any interaction with her. However, the woman had already spotted Ophelia and called out to her."Ophelia!" she exclaimed as she approached, her tone filled with familiarity. Ophelia, feeling a little reluctant, just wanted to find a way to steer clear of her because her mood wasn’t particularly cheerful at that moment."Aren't you going to g
