Jilted Bride 153
Chapter 153
Wyatt looked up, his big, blue eyes resembling black grapes, fixed intently on her.
Chloe glanced down at the little "dinosaur" at her feet, the little guy who always listened to her, making his first
independent request. Wyatt said, "I'll take care of myself, so Mommy won't worry."
After hesitating for a couple of seconds, Chloe nodded. "Alright, let's change clothes."
The two quickly turned back to their rooms, and two minutes later, they cout one after the other.
Going to the underground parking, Chloe opened the driver's seat door and sat down, while Wyatt climbed onto
the child seat in the back.
They both fastened their seatbelts at the stime. Chloe hit the gas, driving out of the underground garage,
heading towards Rosewood Manor.
By the tthey got to Rosewood Manor, it was already ten at night.
Chloe got out of the car and closed the door.
The guard at the entrance recognized her as a friend of Ophelia and was about to greet her politely, only to
notice her frowning, her sharp almond-shaped eyes filled with anxiety. "Is Mrs. Sinclair at home?" "Mrs. Sinclair
went out and hasn't cback yet, the guard answered truthfully.
Is she with Mr. Sinclair?"
"No...
"Can you helpcontact Mr. Sinclair?" Her breathing quickened, what started as just a vague unease had now
becmuch stronger.
The bodyguard furrowed his brow, wondering if something had happened to Ophelia. He didn't bother to report
first, but led the group straight into Rosewood Manor.

They rushed, with Wyatt jogging ahead.
The bodyguard knocked on the study door on the second floor. "Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair's friend is here. She
said she can't reach Mrs. Sinclair and are worried something might have happened."
Inside the study, Kenneth's sharp brows tightened slightly as he stood up while dialing a number. "Sorry, the
number you dialed...."
He hung up the call and immediately dialed Caleb.
Caleb said, "Mr. Sinclair."
"Where are you?" Kenneth's voice was extremely cold.
Caleb, who had been leaning against the car door smoking, immediately stood up and put out his cigarette. "Mrs.
Sinclair is on the cruise; guests aren't allowed to bring people on board. We are waiting at the dock. Nothing
unusual so far." "How long have they been out?"
Three hours. In another half hour it will dock" Caleb said, looking around and already seeing the silhouette of the
cruise on

the horizon.
After hanging up, Kenneth called Finlay, but there was no answe
"What's going He opened the study door and looked at the person at the entrance. on?"
"About an hour ago, 1 got a call from Elia, but there was no sound on the other end. The phone rang for eleven
seconds before it was hung up, and now her phone is off, so | can't trace Chloe explained the situation briefly.
At that moment, the door at the end of the second-floor hallway opened. "What's going on? Kid, you're back
again?"
This sound was so familiar to Chloe that she froze with her back tensing up. The air felt increasingly thin near her
nose, and all the color left her face.
"Uncle" Wyatt turned his head to see Noah casually coming out of the room, wearing dinosaur slippers and a
dark green dinosaur onesie.
Wyatt was getting tired of turning his head back and forth, wanting to turn away, but Chloe was holding his hand
tight, and her grip was only getting firmer. "Mommy, Mommy, you're hurting my hand... Mommy." Chloe
suddenly let go, and Wyatt pulled free, plopping down onto the floor.
By the tChloe realized what was happening and moved to help, Noah, in his dinosaur pajamas, had already
swooped in and picked up the little guy.
Chloe turned around awkwardly, a flash of surprise in her eyes, but quickly looked away when Noah raised his
head,
"Mr. Sinclair, I'll leave Elia's matter to you. If she returns safely, please have her givea call. I'll leave now."
Without a moment's hesitation, Chloe bowed her head and led Wyatt down the stairs. "Mommy, slow down. I'm
struggling to keep up. Goodbye, uncle"
"Well... goodbye, little guy!" Noah looked confused. He thought that if he was really that scary to make them run
away. Kenneth lifted his eyes and stared directly at Noah. Tm looking for someone." "Who?" Noah was so taken
aback by his gaze that his heart skipped a beat. "I know..."
Noah quickly realized, who else could it be but Ophelia. Seeing Kenneth's urgency, he quickly went into the
study, sat down at the computer, and his fingers flew across the keyboard.
A few minutes later, Noah's sharp eyebrows gradually furrowed, and his usual playful grin faded away, revealing
a pair of intense, bold dark eyes. The computer light highlighted his well-defined features, making him look
exceptionally handsome. But this striking handsomeness only lasted for half a minute before Noah started
scratching his head in frustration. "I, | forgot what to do next."
As soon as he said this, Kenneth gave him a look that could eat someone alive. A bad memory was really a
hindrance. Kenneth thought of something and immediately had his bodyguards stop Chloe and bring her up.
On the other side. Ophelia felt dazed, with the sounds of huge waves all around her. Then the sound of the
waves grew quieter, and it seemed like she was being taken somewhere.

She tried to open her eyes, but they just wouldn't open, as if glued shut.

"Elia, Elia... can you hear me? Elia... After an indefinite amount of time, her hearing returned, and a woman's
anxious voice reached her ears. She thought, "Who? Who's talking?"
Ophelia forced her eyelids open, and at the stime, a nerve in her forehead suddenly twitched twice, making
her inhale sharply from the pain.
Her vision gradually cleared, revealing complete darkness around her, except for the shadows of leaves outside
the window seeping through the curtains, providing the only trace of light,
Her hands and feet were tied, leaving her unable to move. She wasn't sure how much thad passed, only
feeling a soreness in her neck like she had slept wrong.
"Elia, are you okay?"
Ophelia thought, "That voice.... It's Phoebe?"
Her mind was foggy as she struggled to shift her body, noticing that Phoebe, like her, had her hands and feet
tied and was leaning against the wall.
Ophelia was confused and thought, 'What's going on? Could it be that it wasn't Phoebe who did this to her
Phoebe asked, "Elia, do you know what's going on?"
She couldn't clearly see Phoebe's expression, but from her voice, she sounded both anxious and at a loss.
Using her bound hands behind her, Ophelia barely managed to push herself up, leaning against the wall to keep
her breathing steady.
"You don't know what happened?" Her voice was unusually calm
| don't know. After | brought you the clothes, someone knockedout from behind... Phoebe replied. As if
fearing Ophelia wouldn't believe her, she added, "I didn't expect something like this to happen, especially with
security being so tight. Ophelia felt a bit of pain in her neck as she struggled to turn. Although she couldn't see
clearly, she was observing her, surroundings.
