The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 124 Where Did You Find This Actor 

Finished 

The day hadn’t yet–turned into night, but the tables near the food truck were already filled with people. Aurelia and Matthew got there first. Thankfully, they had reserved a spot with the owner in advance. Otherwise. if they had been a moment later, they would have had to wait in line. 

The outdoor area was buzzing, filled with the sound of lively conversations everywhere. 

After sitting down, Aurelia picked up the menu and ordered a heap of dishes, keeping in mind her and Xavier’s preferences. 

Perhaps due to dozing off for a bit in the car, she was now full of energy, feeling as if she could devour. everything on the menu. 

“Have a look to see what you’d like to eat.” Aurelia handed the menu to Matthew. 

Matthew took the menu, scanning through the extensive list of dishes. Based on his personal preferences, he decided on beef skewers and pasta. 

Nothing else on the menu interested him much. 

He had never been to a food truck before. 

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to come; it was just that time didn’t permit it. 

No one would accompany him either. 

Now that he was here with Aurelia, he surprisingly didn’t know what to eat. 

Aurelia could guess a few things. After some thought, she decided to order a few more items on the menu. 

“I think these might be things you’d enjoy, so you can give them a try.” 

Matthew also showed some interest. “Okay.” 

A short distance away, Xavier walked over. From where he was, he could see the man sitting with Aurelia. 

Due to the considerable distance and the crowd, it was somewhat difficult to get a clear view. 

Nonetheless, he felt as though he had seen that man somewhere before. 

It wasn’t an unfamiliar face. 

Moreover, why is he dressed in formal attire? Who wears a suit to a place like this for a meal? 

He had heard from Aurelia that they were going to a food truck, so he hadn’t dressed formally. He arrived in a pair of casual shorts and a loose T–shirt. This choice of attire made him appear less imposing in comparison to the man, which annoyed him slightly. 

Then again, just because he’s dressed formally doesn’t mean he has an imposing aura. Whether he’s good or not, I’ll find out soon enough. 

When he finally reached them, the more Xavier looked at Matthew, the more familiar the latter seemed.

I truly feel like we’ve met somewhere before. 

“Xavier.” When Aurelia looked up, she found that Xavier was already there. 

Following Aurelia, Matthew rose to his feet and greeted, “Hello.”

Upon closer inspection of Matthew, just like from a distance, he exuded an aura of authority, something uncharacteristic of a young man. 

Moreover, up close, he was strikingly handsome, the kind of looks that could easily bewitch young girls. 

However, some people were wolves in sheep’s clothing, appearing dignified and honorable on the surface, but in reality, they were utterly despicable. 

Xavier studied him intently, hoping to see right through Matthew with just a single glance. 

Unfortunately, the man before him was very good at hiding his emotions and intentions. 

As he scrutinized, Xavier felt an increasing certainty that he had seen the person before him somewhere. “I’m Xavier 

Shaw, Auri’s older brother,” Xavier introduced himself to Matthew. 

Matthew answered, “I’m Auri’s husband, Matthew Quigley.” 

Aurelia found herself unable to interject as the two formally introduced themselves. She had never seen Xavier look at someone with such sharpness in his eyes, as if he wished he could dissect Matthew on the spot to determine whether his heart was good or evil. 

Reflecting on how her relationship with Curtis had caused Xavier to become so guarded, she felt incredibly guilty toward her family who cared for her. 

She truly had been blind in the past.. 

“Matthew Quigley?” Xavier frowned. 

This name… 

“What do you do for a living?” Xavier asked. 

Matthew didn’t withhold information. “I work at Quigley Group as the CEO.” 

Xavier’s eyes abruptly widened. 

He could hardly believe his eyes as he stared at the man standing before him. 

Then, with an incredulous look, he turned to Aurelia. “Where did you find this actor?” 

Is he a celebrity lookalike taking advantage of his resemblance to Matthew Quigley to deceive Auri? 

Upon hearing Xavier call him an actor, Matthew couldn’t help but chuckle. 

“Xavier, he’s not an actor. He’s really Matthew Quigley, and we’re actually married. I’ll show you the photo.” Aurelia conveniently had a picture of their marriage certificate on her phone. 

With a mix of skenticism and belief Yavier looked at the nhotograph on Aurelia’s nhone

He could tell if there had been any alterations. 

This was indeed a legitimate marriage certificate. 

He took note of the date on the document.

“Are you really Matthew Quigley? The CEO of Quigley Group?” Xavier felt like he was in a dream today. Everything seemed somewhat surreal. 

Of course, he knew who Matthew was and what Quigley Group signified in Jacaster. 

I he would have thought that Auri’s spouse would turn out to be Matthew Quigley? 

Matthew replied with a smile. “Yes.” 

Xavier was not entirely at case, fearing that Aurelia, in an attempt to reassure him, had hired an actor with a celebrity’s face. Without wasting any time, he immediately conducted a search on Google. 

Sure enough, he found Matthew. 

Moreover, there were all kinds of high–resolution photos of him. 

Those who usually kept tabs on financial news would certainly have noticed Matthew. 

He had seen Matthew’s interview before, but seeing someone in reality who resembled the person on television, he merely thought they looked alike, not that they were the same person. 

Aurelia was caught between laughter and tears. it was evident that Xavier still didn’t believe her. 

“Xavier, remember the old woman I told you about, Old Mrs. Quigley? He’s her grandson. She’s the one who introduced us. Our marriage wouldn’t have been possible without her help.” Seeing the confusion on Xavier’s face and how he started to search for information on his phone, Aurelia immediately brought up 

Mabel. 

Xavier and the others were all familiar with Mabel. 

This was because Mabel was a friend of Hannah. They trusted Hannah, so naturally, they also trusted her friends. 

Upon hearing this, Xavier put down his phone, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at Aurelia. “Why didn’t you say this earlier?” 

Aurelia glanced at Matthew. Since their marriage was a secret at first, they couldn’t tell anyone. Just as she was about to speak, Matthew beat her to it. 

“Due to certain circumstances within the Quigley family, Auri and I agreed to keep our marriage a secret, refraining from announcing the news publicly. We knew that once our marriage was revealed, it would inevitably bring about some complications. So, we decided to wait until I had sorted out some matters before making our marriage public.” 

Since he intended to continue/his marriage with Aurelia, it was only natural that he wanted the people of Jacaster to know that Aurelia was his. 

That way, he could ward off people with ulterior motives, like Chad.

Aurelia nodded before saying, “Xavier, I’ve just started working. I’d prefer if we could keep my marriage a 

secret for now too.” 

Xavier was still somewhat shaken He grabbed a beer from the side and took several gulps. “Give me a moment to think.” 

In truth, he needed time to calm down. 

He never expected that Auri would casually drop such a bombshell on him. 

The man standing before her was none other than Matthew Quigley! 

He was aware that numerous socialites in Jacaster yearned to marry Matthew. 

Moreover, among his classmates, there were a few socialites. These socialites had once declared in their group that if they were to marry, it would only be Matthew. Otherwise, they’d rather stay single. 

Yet, in the end, Matthew became his brother–in–law! 

Moreover, he was even eating meat skewers with him here at a food truck! 

For a moment, Xavier’s emotions were incredibly complex. 

Nonetheless, he quickly regained his composure, thinking of the most crucial matter at hand. 

With so many people vying for Matthew’s attention, he ended up choosing Auri. Could it be that he truly fancies her? 

He stared intently at Matthew and asked, “Do you have feelings for Auri?”
