Chapter 1185
Bartlett squinted his eyes a bit. âEllinor, what's the deal between you and the Crescent Society?â
Ellinor didn't beat around the bush. âIda and Chase are my childhood friends.â
âAha!â Bartlett seemed to get it and stopped prying. âThis is indeed a tough cookie! The final
payment is no small changeâ
That was the crux of the matter.
âEllinor, ever heard of disguises? Bartlett quirked an eyebrow and asked with a grin,
Disguises? Ellinor resignedly said âDo you think we're in a TV drama? How could there be
disguises?â
Bartlett shook his head. âNo, I heard there are these realistic face masks for sale now. Once you put
it on, your facial features will change drastically. It's like getting a new faceâ
Ellinor frowned âEven if there are, can you get your hands on one?â
Bartlett smiled. âI can give it a shot! If I can get a mask like that, you can attend in person with it on,
and no one would recognize you.â
Ellinor didn't have much faith in his plan. âEven if I can mask my face, what about my belly? It's so

Bartlett waved it off. âSo what about your belly? There are tons of women in the world, and plenty of
them would be pregnant at the same time. Ellinor, you're just overthinking it. Show up confidently,
and no one will noticeâ
Ellinor had to admit that Bartlett had a point, but she was still quite nervous. With an eight month
baby bump, it was hard to guarantee she could keep her cool in front of Theo
âAlnight! Ellinor don't worry your pretty little head about it. I'll have someone find you a mask, all
you need is to get your nerves under control, and everything will be peachy Bartlett comforted her
Ellinor nodded, although she wasnt convinced Bartlett's plan was all that great, she couldnt think of
any other solutions either
Bartlett accompanied Ellinor for a BBQ meal and then left, telling her to wait for news about the
mask.
The thought of seeing Thea at the ribbon cutting ceremony in three days made Ellinor feel a bit
edgy.
She hadn't seen that man for half a year, and she thought she would never see him again in this
lifetime.
The very next morning, Bartlett called her up, saying he had found a mask and would have it
delivered to her by evening
Ellinor had mentally prepared herself. She messaged Ida using a secret code, telling her to agree to
the Blanchet Corporation's request because she would attend the opening ceremony of the
Blanchet Building as Moon in three days.
Crescent Society
Ida looked at the message Ellinor sent her, feeling a bit surprised and worried.
Ellinor was really going to attend in person? Wasn't she afraid of being spotted by Mr Blanchet?
If she were discovered, wouldn't her half a year of hiding be all for naught?
