Beneath His Ugly Wife’s Mask: Her revenge was her brilliance

Chapter 430:

Allan, always calm and polite, usually greeted everyone with a soft smile and quiet confidence. Today, though, he stared out the window with a long face, not saying a word.

Cole shot him a curious look and teased, “What’s bothering you, Allan?”

Manley chuckled and said, “You better not poke at Allan right now. He could go off at any second.”

Manley looked over at Elliana and said in a teasing tone, “Elliana, your friend is the one to blame! Allan used to be lively and polite. Ever since he saw your friend’s photo, he’s been moping around.”

Elliana curled her lips in mild annoyance and gave Allan a look. “Is it really that bad, Mr. Shaw?”

Allan kept staring through the window and didn’t bother responding.

Unable to help himself, Manley jumped in on Allan’s behalf. “Why wouldn’t it be? Elliana, your friend isn’t Allan’s type at all. And that isn’t the worst part. The worst? His grandfather even threatened to go on a hunger strike unless he married Adah. That’s a lot of pressure for Allan!”

Everyone broke out laughing at the same time.

With an annoyed look, Allan turned and snapped at Manley, “Can’t you stay silent for once, for Christ’s sake!”

At that, Manley immediately clamped his mouth shut.

Discreetly, Elliana raised her phone and took a quick picture of Allan before sending it to Adah. “Just so you know, your fiancé is heading to Podgend for the Crown Auction too, and he’s flying on my husband’s private jet.”

Adah’s response came instantly. “So I’ll run into him in Podgend? He does 100k good, but honestly, I don’t like his personality. Didn’t you once say he acts all polished but is actually bossy, maybe even sneaky? To me, he just seems spaced out.”

Elliana typed. “You should blame that picture you sent. After seeing it, he has been in a slump.”

“Seriously? Just over one single picture?” Adah texted, sending a speechless emoji right after.

Their conversation wrapped up just as the plane prepared for takeoff.

The flight lasted more than ten hours. When it landed safely in Podgend, everyone made their way to the mansion that had been arranged for them.

Because of the time lag, darkness had already fallen by the time they reached Podgend.

The mansion sat about a hundred kilometers away from Victor’s town.

Jason joined the trip mostly to lend his support, but his weak health left him exhausted. He made his way straight to his room to rest right after stepping off the plane.

Allan and Manley came along for the Crown Auction, which would not start for another three days. With no pressing plans, they headed out to a well-known local club to enjoy some drinks and entertainment. After catching their breath, Elliana and Cole put on disguises. They slipped into the night, determined to find Victor in town.
