Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 173

Allie clenched her teeth and swallowed her anger, but her heart was still filled with jealous discontent.

"Well, it’s almost time. Let's go." Lindsey did not show any satisfaction or dissatisfaction with her look.

She felt that her current look was not very different from her usual one, but it was precisely this lack of self-awareness that made her seem more beautiful.

Allie clenched her fists so that she would not reveal a stiff smile. She then hugged Lindsey’s arm in a friendly manner.

‘The best part of the show is yet to come. So what if I let her be smug for now?’ Allie thought.

Since Zayn did not want to attend the reception, Quentin also did not report too much about it to him.

Thus, after Quentin finished his tasks on hand, he asked, "President, do you need me to attend the cruise tonight?"

Zayn’s face froze for a moment and his eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "What cruise?"

Quentin pushed up his glasses and said, "The venue for this year's reception is set on a cruise ship in Westport."

After saying that, he realized that Zayn's face was frighteningly gloomy.

Quentin shook for a second and corrected his expression. "President, what's the problem?"

"Immediately get someone to check whether Lindsey is attending tonight!"

Quentin was stunned and suddenly thought of something, then his face turned pale. During this time, Wilford Corporation and Hemera teamed up against Denarius, so even though Zayn looked calm, his subordinates were all busy and overlooked this tiny detail.

The first thing that Quentin did was call the people who were following Lindsey. Unless Lindsey was in danger or under some very special circumstances, these people would not take the initiative to report her situation. Technically speaking, they were not just following her but secretly protecting her.

The phone call was quickly answered and Quentin straight away asked, "Where’s the Young Madam?"

"Young Madam is on her way to Westport. Assistant Quentin, is there something wrong?"

Usually, Quentin resented being called Assistant Quentin, but he could not care less about that now. He hung up the phone and when he saw Zayn's face, he felt that he had lived to his end.

The Wilford family's driver sent Lindsey and Allie to Westport. The harbor area was cleared and closed to the public as it was the venue for the Guggenheim’s reception.

The sea breeze smelled a little fishy and Lindsey could barely stand still as she held Allie's hand next to her.

As soon as the two of them approached the center of Westport, they were enthusiastically led to the side.

A tall woman led the two ladies forward and said, "This way, please."

Lindsey was confused. Was it not an al fresco restaurant?

The beautiful woman in a slim gown led the two ladies to a cruise ship that had an escalator.

"The banquet is up there. Ladies, please."

Lindsey's face turned white at the sight of the cruise ship in front of her. Hearing that she still had to go up, she was even more repelled by the idea.

Her hand that was holding Allie’s squeezed tighter that it hurt Allie.

"Lindsey, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Allie asked with worry.

A few more guests were brought over behind them and saw them standing there unmoving. They swept a few glances suspiciously and when they saw Lindsey, their eyes flashed in amazement, but they quickly withdrew their gaze and went up the ship.
