Chapter 1866 Inside the car. Even after entering the car, Caprice refused to let go of Liam. She felt awful.
She and Freya never tried to use fake tickets hoping to slip into Carter Tech City. They did not deserve such terrible treatment from everyone!
How could they do something so terrible to her? Why did nobody help her at all?
She did not think she was going to cry, but the moment she found herself in the presence of Liam, the floodgates opened. She pursed her lips tightly and whimpered soundlessly.
Liam frowned when he looked at her haggard state. Her hair was tousled, and there were footprint marks all over her. He held her close to him and let her have her moment.
After she managed to compose herself, he turned to the driver and ordered, “Drive.”
“Wait a minute.” Caprice turned to Liam, her eyes puffy and red from crying. “Liam, my friend is still outside.”
Liam glanced outside.
The crowd had long dispersed by this point and were shuffling into the city. Freya was the only one who stood still like a totem and was carefully observing the car.
He turned to his assistant in the passenger seat. “Bring her into the car.” “Alright, sir.” His assistant promptly got out of the car.
Caprice looked outside to check up on Freya. It was then that she noticed Isabel sitting in the middle row. She must have been here since the very beginning. She suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her and quickly removed herself from Liam.
Isabel was staring at her.
When she noticed Caprice’s reaction, she smiled and asked tenderly, “Caprice, are you hurt?” Caprice stammered, “Hey, Isabel, I- I’m fine. | just tripped.”
Isabel breathed a sigh of relief. “That's good. I’m glad you're not hurt.”
Meanwhile, Freya entered from the other side of the car. Her first instinct was to look for Caprice, but when she noticed Isabel, her eyes immediately grew wide open as she exclaimed, “Isabel! You're the famous movie star!”
Isabel smiled and greeted her, “Hello.”
Freya was floored.
Caprice coughed dryly.
Freya suddenly remembered Caprice. When she noticed Liam sitting next to her, she made a face and cowered into her seat. The car accelerated forward.
Isabel turned to Caprice, “Caprice, what happened back there? Did somebody push you?”
Caprice made an exasperated sound and explained, “It looks like Frey got ripped off by scalpers and was given counterfeit tickets. We got held up at the ticket booth, and the people in line eventually got angry with us. They began picking on us and started getting physical with us.”
Isabel frowned. “You could have just contacted Liam or me if you wanted to visit. Why bother buying tickets? From a scalper, no less!”
Liam looked sharply at Caprice.
Caprice wanted to say that she never planned to visit, but a voice inside her told her that Liam would be upset if she said something like that. After all, he had invited her to visit several times.
Fortunately, Freya spoke up, so she did not have to make up a lie, “I wanted to surprise her, so | bought tickets from a reseller | found online. | told her that we were coming here after | got the tickets.”
She bought tickets from a scalper online?
Carter Tech City may have offered very limited slots for visiting the city, but the tickets were given away for free on their website! Perhaps the girls were as foolish as the crowd made them out to be.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Isabel sighed and turned to Freya. “Could you show me your tickets?”
If Caprice was truly tricked by the scalpers, she was going to make sure the scalpers faced harsh punishments for ripping her off! Freya hastily handed her phone to Isabel.
Isabel looked at the reservation ticket with its QR code along with a unique reference number. She remarked skeptically, “Doesn't seem like a counterfeit to me.”
Freya was shocked to hear this.
Caprice was just as startled and hastily explained, “But we tried several times at the ticket booth and they wouldn't work. | thought there was something wrong with the machine, but it worked just fine for the others in the line.”
“Bro, take a look at this.” Isabel handed Freya’s phone to Liam. Liam only needed a brief look at it. “They aren’t counterfeits.” Caprice was confused. “Then, why wouldn’t the tickets work when we used them?”
Freya asked in a puzzled tone, “Could it be a machine malfunction?”
