Chapter 233


    Sure thing, everyone knew that I was Jan''s wife.


    Gossip is the spice of life, and who wouldn''t want to see the woman who managed to snatch Jan


    from the jaws of hardship?


    Therefore, I was certain that I had be the talk of the town.


    Catherine''s words earlier were filled with juicy information, sure to fuel the gossip mills. By tonight''s


    celebration at the town hall, I bet all of Goldenvale Town would know about Jan''s sess.

    Catherine knew she had let slip too much and smirked, quickly changing the topic to choosing her


    dress - a gradient, strapless gown - and left the rest to the stylist.


    Hannah, my bodyguard, dressed in a dignified, ck evening dress.


    Before we could finish our preparations, Jan came in with a swagger, dressed in a tailored suit and a


    white silk shirt underneath. His hair was slicked back, and he looked as radiant as a morning sun.


    His entrance drew all eyes to him, especially the women in the salon, who looked at him with awe and


    admiring. The familiar faces in the salon, mostly workers he knew, approached him with a mix of


    emotions, greeted him, and showered him withpliments.


    They sat him down for a quick trim and style. The entire salon was bustling with excitement.


    I watched them quietly, knowing that when Jan falls from grace, these same people would be the


    first to throw stones.


    But being the queen bee, I knew they''d bend over backward to please me, no matter what they said


    behind my back.


    Such was human nature.


    When it was time, Jan looked like a seasoned actor, ready to take the stage. I have to admit, he did


    look dashing. But beneath that charming exteriory a rotten soul.


    I couldn''t help but wonder why I was so naive to fall for his charm and be trapped in this gilded cage he


    built for me.


    I quickly averted my eyes, not wanting to give him any more attention.


    But Jan, charmingly approached me and took my hand, "Honey, let me see... Wow! You''re still the


    most beautiful woman here. Isn''t that right, boys?"


    Of course, they agreed, "Absolutely! Jan, you''re a lucky man!"


    "Of course, our Allie, is the best gift that life has given me!" Jan said, looking at me fondly. If you


    didn''t know any better, you''d think he was genuinely in love.


    I forced a smile, pushed him away and said, "There you go again, always flirting. Let''s get going!"


    Jan, beaming, wrapped his arm around my waist and led me outside to his luxury car. As we drove


    off, he turned to the salon staff and said, "Keep the tab open. I''ll settle it at the end of the month."


    As we drove off, he leaned back in his seat, a look of satisfaction on his face. I ignored him and looked


    out the window. The setting sun was casting a warm glow on the city skyline.


    A sense of excitement washed over me. The next act was about to begin!
