Chapter 262

After a moment, Kenneth stood up, his broad, tall figure turned away from her.
You ran stay a couple more days if you want, but Death Guild has an urgent matter that requires me to return,” Kenneth
Is the vacation really ending like this? Ophelia thought, momentarily stunned.
Ophelia propped herself up. “So soon?”
They had agreed on about a week, but it hadn’t even been three days.
“When are you leaving? How long will you be gone? Ophiella wanted to remind him about picking up the marriage license on the first of next month.
But faced with this Kenneth, Ophelia wasn’t sure how to bring it up.
“Leaving first thing tomorrow morning,” Kenneth turned his head, not even looking at Ophelia as he spoke,
He didn’t mention when he would be back.
Ophelia was confused. Today, Kenneth was acting so differently.
“I’ll go with you, Darling. After all, the company has postponed everything,” Ophelia said sleepily, her voice soft and sweet, with a gentle, almost childlike quality that made anyone who heard it feel a warmth inside.
Kenneth’s shoulders moved slightly as he let out a breath, and his gaze drifted toward Ophelia on the bed.
“Ophelia, can you not be so clingy?” Kenneth said.
His tone was cold and detached.
Ophelia felt like she must be dreaming. Kenneth would never speak to her like this.
Even if he was upset, he wouldn’t sound so indifferent.
Ophelia stared at him blankly for a long time.
The dim light illuminated Kenneth’s cold profile, the sharp bridge of his nose framed by gold–rimmed glasses, his thin lips tightly pressed in a frosty line.
The unfamiliar look in his eyes made Ophelia feel suffocated.
“I’m clingy?” Ophelia whispered, almost as if she were asking herself.
‘Yeah, why have I become so clingy?‘ Ophelia thought.
She lowered her eyes, her innocent gaze faltering as if she were a lost little kitten abandoned by its owner.
Ophelia’s long lashes trembled.
Out of Ophelia’s sight, Kenneth clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged from his arms.
His heart felt like it was being ripped apart.

Ophelia’s heart acheil, the pain causing her to furrow her brow she sat on the bed, hugging her knees, her mind wide
Even when krimeth was inset with her before, Ophelia never felt this kind of distance and coldness.
She really wondered if the person she just interacted with was adually Kenneth.
The long night passed slowly, and Ophelia sat on the swing on the balcony, letting the cold wind blow over her, feeling unusually calm.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Kenneth left the hotel.
Ophelia got up to see him off, dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep.
The island was large, with an international airport, but it required a drive to reach it.
Ophelia watched as Kenneth got into the car.
He didn’t even give her the usual goodbye kiss, and he seemed indifferent, as if she had no significance to him at all.
Ophelia quietly watched the car drive away.
Her gaze gradually shifted back to Eric, and their eyes met for a brief moment.
Ophelia didn’t need to say a word for Eric to understand.
Eriç raised an eyebrow, his hands in his pockets, glancing at Ray
“Mrs. Sinclair, leaving you here alone on the island…” Ray started.
“I’m fine. You should worry about Kenneth,” Ophelia said, having thought about it all night. The recent events had confirmed her suspicions.
‘Kenneth isn’t acting right, not right at all. He’s hiding something from me,‘ Ophelia thought.
Before Ophelia’s time travel, Kenneth had been willing to die for her, but in this life, there was no way he could suddenly become this cold.
There could only be one possibility. Either Kenneth was intentionally pushing her away, or he was involved in something dangerous.
In any case, Kenneth’s feelings for Ophelia hadn’t changed.
Ray hesitated, sensing something was wrong between them, and silently followed Eric.
It wasn’t clear when, but Ray had started to forget he was just Kenneth’s subordinate.
Kenneth’s car reached the international airport, and a few bodyguards in black suits cleared the way. Each of them had a gun at their waist, and a large group followed behind them, an impressive display.
Kenneth, wearing a baseball cap, revealed only the sharp lower half of his face.
His firm jaw tightened slightly as he stopped in front of the VIP entrance.

Kenneth tumed his heel shally and glareal at the holyguard by side him
The bonlyguard nodded in understanding
Twenty minutes later, in the International air pant lounge. aberntmindedly rubbing the ring on his ring finger
with his legs crossed on a light colored leather sofa,
Three or five hisdyguards appeared at the door, holding two pele in check.
Ray lowered his head, his hands cuffed behind him, a gun presed against his waist.
Eric was in the same position, also being dragged in. A look of friistration crossed Eric’s face.
If it were just him, he was sure no one would have noticed.
“You two thought you could follow me? You think I didn’t notice last time?” Kenneth said with a light laugh, slightly tilting his head.
The sharp gaze beneath his cap made everyone in the room feel uneasy, radiating arrogance and confidence.
Kenneth knew it. Ophelia wasn’t so easy to fool.
“Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair is just worried about you,” Ray spoke up but was immediately met with a piercing glare from Kenneth.
“Don’t forget who you belong to.” Kenneth’s voice was low, carrying deep displeasure and a clear warning.
Kenneth’s presence was cold and intimidating.
Even the bodyguards around them held their breath, having not seen Kenneth like this in a long time.
Ray lowered his head. “I’m willing to take the punishment, but… Eric doesn’t know the rules of Death Guild. Please forgive him, Mr. Sinclair.”
Eric frowned, his bright, deep eyes focused on Ray.
There was an odd feeling rising in Eric’s chest, something he couldn’t quite place, a sense of irritation. He didn’t want Ray t speak on his behalf.
Eric raised his head, the strands of hair at his temples swaying slightly.
“Am I not the one you sent with Ray to protect Elia’s safety, to follow her orders? What’s wrong with that? Kenneth, is there something you’ve done to wrong Elia?” Eric asked.
Kenneth’s brows furrowed even deeper.
‘How could I have agreed to leave Eric in Death Guild? He’s truly fearless, Kenneth thought.
Kenneth’s jaw tightened slightly. Two seconds later, his eyes drifted lazily from Eric.
“So what if I have?” Kenneth responded.
“Is that really the case?” Eric’s youthful face darkened, a cold, almost imperceptible murderous intent radiating from him a his fists clenched.
The next moment, Eric broke free from the hold of two bodyguards. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed a gun from one of the guards and pointed it directly at Kenneth.
“Eric!” Ray shouted, trying to stop him.

Chapter 262
At the same time, lezers of guns were immediately pointed
0281%
The bodyguards holding Ray in place made synchronized movements, and Ray’s hand froze as he reached for his gun,
Ray glanced between Kenneth, who appeared unfazed, and Eric whose face was filled with hostility.
Eric, put the gun down, or you won’t be leaving today,” Ray said in a low voice, his heartbeat quickening.
The dozens of guns aimed at Eric were enough to turn him into Swiss cheese.
Eric ignored him, the barrel of the gun still unwavering. “You could kill me with just one word. I’ve owed my life to you for a long time, and without Elia, I wouldn’t have made it this far.
“Kenneth, a person like you doesn’t deserve Elia.”
“Eric, what are you saying?” Ray asked, panic in his voice, wishing he could rush over and silence Eric.
Ray quickly glanced at Kenneth, only to see him slowly standing up and fastening his suit jacket.
“So what?” Kenneth asked calmly, his voice unwavering. “You want to kill me for her? You’re not worthy.”
