Semua Bab Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Bab 1861 - Bab 1870

Freya could sense Kenneth's disdain toward Caprice. Always the loyal friend, she backed Caprice up, "That's right. I managed to get two spots for me and Caprice two days ago. We don’t need your help to get inside.” Upon hearing this, Kenneth and Jonathan turned white, they felt called out. Moses expressed regretfully, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I was just asking out of curiosity. I happen to know someone who works inside, so I figured I could help you girls out if you haven’t secured a spot yet.” “I know you didn’t mean it like that, but I think some of you here don’t feel the same way,” Freya hinted not-so-subtly. Caprice gently nudged her to signal her to stop being so confrontative with Jonathan and Kenneth. It was too late. Kenneth immediately scoffed upon hearing her remark. “It must have been pretty expensive. I believe the scalper price goes for around five thousand. You sure are splurging for the occasion.” Freya refused to back down. “So what if

Freya's eyes widened. It seemed like she just had an epiphany. After a while, a flash of determination shone in her eyes. She smiled widely and nodded approvingly. Caprice smiled as well when she noticed the effect the words she said had on Freya. The two friends continued chatting for a while until they saw the crowd begin inching toward the entrance. In ten minutes, the gates of Carter Tech City would open. Everyone rushed to the gate and formed a line, eager to enter the city. Freya quickly pulled Caprice up to her feet and joined the crowd. There were more than a dozen ticketing booths by the gate, therefore the people formed as many lines as there were booths. By mere coincidence, Caprice and Freya found themselves queuing in the line right next to the one Moses and his group queued in. Moses immediately noticed the girls and greeted them. Caprice acknowledged him with a faint smile before turning away. Kenneth and Jonathan hardly bothered to greet

Someone else suggested, “It has to be the owner of Carter Tech City. Who else would warrant such a grand display?” A pin-drop silence loomed over the scene as everyone stared at the car expectantly. Even the people who had already passed through the gates into the city leaned over the barrier and waited to see what would happen next. The car slowly accelerated forward and seemed like it was going to run over Caprice. “Caprice, get up!” Moses’ frantic shout shattered the silence. It was only then that people noticed Caprice still doubled over on the ground, and they began to point at her and laugh. She tried to use a fake ticket to enter the city, then she obstructed the city owner’s entry into the city. They expected the security to haul her out of here like the pest she was. As they thought about her misery, the security forces began approaching her when they noticed that she was in the way. Just when it looked like the security forces were going to haul away like

“It malfunctions when you two were using it but not when the others used it?” Isabel squinted suspiciously and turned to Liam. “Hey, does the security room have control over the ticketing machines?” Liam scowled. “Mitch, look into it.” Mitch was his assistant who was currently seated in the passenger seat. He responded dutifully, “Yes, sir, I’ll head to the security room right now.” The car stopped. Mitch wasted no time in getting out of the car. He quickly went to the security room right next to the entrance of the city. Meanwhile, Isabel smiled pleasantly at Caprice and informed her, "Caprice, I have several scenes I need to shoot with my team today. I’ll see you after I wrap things up.” Caprice smiled. “Okay.” Isabel turned to Freya and smiled politely before leaving. Freya spoke up nervously, "I… I think I’ll take a walk in the city as well. Is that okay?" She felt very uncomfortable inside the car. Caprice sent her off. “Go on, I’ll see you later.”

Moses further supplied, "If she truly held a grudge against you, you wouldn’t standing here talking to me right now.” With that, he slapped Kenneth’s palm off his shoulder. He advanced in the direction Caprice and Freya went toward. Kenneth was bothered by Moses’ contemptuous tone toward him. He turned to Jonathan who seemed to be in a state of trance and asked irritably, “Jonathan, what's wrong with you? Why didn’t you back me up?” Jonathan looked pale and sick. He murmured weakly, "I've seen that man before." "Which man?" "The owner of Carter Tech City.” Kenneth was intrigued by this. "When and where did you meet him?” Jonathan relayed his story, “Do you remember the night I took Caprice to Elysian House party? After she attacked President Michael, we chased her down until she ran into that man at the end of the corridor. He was the one who saved her.” Kenneth asked frightfully, “President Michael… Was this man the one who got him fired?” Jonathan nodded gr
