Chapter 5
“Dear passengers, this is your captain speaking. Due to an emergency, takeoff will be temporarily delayed.”
The passengers, who had never witnessed anything like this, were utterly stunned.”
“What’s going on? Is someone missing from the flight?”
“That can’t be. The plane was already on the runway. How can it still turn back?”
The airport broadcast repeated the announcement again and again. It clearly wasn’t a mistake.
Confused, everyone filed back into the terminal.
The moment I appeared, more than a dozen uniformed airline staff lined up in perfect formation and marched straight toward me.
At that moment, every gaze, including Madelaine and Dylan’s, instinctively landed on me.!!
With a faint smile, I walked calmly to meet them.
“Are you Miss Lilah Laurel?“}
The lead captain spoke carefully as though terrified of saying the wrong thing.
I nodded softly. “That’s right. I’m Lilah. Thank you for your hard work.”
In the next instant, the entire group of airline staff bowed low in unison.
Miss Lilah, please don’t mention it. It’s our honor to serve you.
Miss
*The higher–ups instructed us to express their gratitude for choosing our airline.”
I reached out and lightly patted the captain’s shoulder.)
“Oh my god, what on earth was going on here?”
“Am I seeing things? Did you all witness that? All the airline staff came out together. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“Seriously, this is way too much. Is that girl some kind of hidden VIP?“E
The passengers who had mocked me earlier were now staring in disbelief.
I lifted my hand with an easy smile 8
“You came at the perfect time.”
“Among the passengers, someone threatened my life. Please handle it“)
As I spoke, I calmly pointed at Madelaine, whose face had gone pale.
“Her. She’s the one who threatened me.”
The captain turned to scan the crowd, then immediately lifted his walkie–talkie.
“All security units report to the terminal. We have a suspect.”
Before Madelaine could react, she was immediately restrained.
“What are you doing?! I’m President Dawson’s personal secretary! Let me go!” “Dylan, you know him, right? He’s the biggest shareholder here!“!!
Watching the scene unfold, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Secretary Madelaine, I told you long ago that messing with me never ended well. Now you’ve finally realized you were wrong, haven’t you?”
“I don’t care if you’re President Dawson’s secretary. If you offend me, even President Dawson himself would have to bow and apologize.“!! While I spoke, the captain had already brought her over and stood her in front of me.!!
“Miss Laurel, aside from her, is there anyone else involved?”
