Chapter 355

Curtis replied with a single word, his tone as cool as ever.

The next morning

Ailie and Victoria arrived at the Starfall City airport, their luggage minimal-just a single suitcase each, no unnecessary extras.

McNeil showed up alone as well, wheeling his suitcase with the effortless composure of someone used to being in control, a subtle air of detachment around him. His shirt was crisp and flawless, not a wrinkle in sight, tailored perfectly to his athletic frame. He carried his suit jacket draped over his forearm. Every woman who passed him seemed compelled to sneak a second glance.

Ailie and Victoria stood side by side, watching as McNeil gradually came into view.

People with twisted morals, who fooled around despite being married, somehow still managed to land wealth and admiration that everyone else could only dream of. The world just wasn't fair.

McNeil approached, holding three plane tickets. He handed them to Victoria.

"This one's yours. The other is for your friend," he said calmly.

Victoria took the tickets and immediately noticed something was off; the flight McNeil booked for Ailie was completely different from theirs.

"What's this supposed to mean? Where is this flight going? Why did you book her on a different one?" she demanded.
