Chapter 355

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.

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.
