Seeing Tony busy texting someone, Luisa tugged on Scott’s arm. Scott turned, glancing at his wife.“Scott, do you think we’re in the wrong? What if those two seats we booked were already reserved for someone else?” Luisa asked, her eyes full of worry.Scott quickly shook his head. “That won’t happen. And if it does, it’s not our fault. It’s the airline’s mistake. They can’t just ask us to leave this cabin,” Scott said firmly.Luisa gazed deeply into Scott’s eyes, and he returned the look. He needed to reassure her that they were in the right.“I’ve asked a colleague to check the passenger database today to confirm this issue,” Tony said, slipping his phone back into his pocket. “We should get confirmation soon,” he added, handing the two tickets back to the flight attendant.Tony seemed confident, even arrogant. His smile and posture were smug, especially compared to the flight attendant’s seriousness.The flight attendant examined the tickets again, her expression both stern and puzz
"Protect Young Master!" one of the bodyguards shouted.The rest of the guards immediately closed ranks, shielding the man in the brown cloak from sight. Some of them aimed their weapons in various directions, prepared for any potential threat from other passengers."Hey, you! Hands up! Now!" the same guard barked, glaring at the suspicious passenger Scott had just knocked down.The man was clearly outnumbered. Even if he had a backup weapon, he was in no position to use it. Any sudden move would be met with bullets from the guards aiming at him.On top of that, his left hand throbbed with pain after being hit by Scott’s shoe. Slowly, he raised his hands, casting a venomous glare at Scott."Restrain him!" ordered the guard.Without hesitation, two other guards, keeping their guns trained on the man, approached and pinned him down roughly. They clearly believed this man was either a criminal or a terrorist."Search him! Make sure he’s not carrying any bombs or other dangerous items," th
Scholtz turned to Linda, a deep crease forming between his brows. Her arrogant, smug face irritated him.“And who are you, if I may ask? Why do you think you have the right to interfere in this matter?” Scholtz asked sarcastically.“Who am I?” Linda shot back, staring at Scholtz in disbelief. A moment later, she sneered.“She’s the mayor’s niece,” George chimed in, feeling the need to defend his girlfriend. “I don’t know who you are, but I’d suggest you watch your tone around her. After all, she’s related to the top official in Mildenbrough.”Scholtz glared at George, and George defiantly raised his chin, signaling that he wasn’t intimidated.George and Linda’s arrogant attitude left Tony and the flight attendant stunned. Unlike them, Tony and the flight attendant knew exactly who Scholtz was and just how influential he was in Mildenbrough and other cities.“You said the seats Mr. Scott and his wife reserved were already taken by two other passengers, right?” Scholtz asked the flight
"I'm waiting," Scott said, staring at George with disdain. George returned Scott’s gaze, but his arrogance had disappeared. With someone as powerful as Scholtz backing Scott, how could he possibly act so smug as before? “What’s going on here?” Scholtz asked, turning to the flight attendant. The attendant responded, “These two made a bet, sir. If Mr. Scott and his wife had entered the wrong cabin, they’d have to kneel before these two and address them as ‘Sir’ and ‘Madam.’ But if they didn’t, then the reverse would happen.” Scholtz frowned. “That’s the bet they made?” “More or less, sir. For more details, you might want to ask Tony, since he was involved in the wager,” the attendant added. Scholtz turned his gaze to Tony, who glared at the attendant, clearly displeased by being outed. But it was the truth. “You were involved?” Scholtz asked coldly. “Explain.” “Um…” Tony hesitated, thinking about how to phrase his words. “Yes, Mr. Scholtz. That was the bet, and in the end, these
Scott couldn’t understand what was going through Lisa’s mind, why she kept sending him texts as if she were trying to terrorize him.In her latest message, Lisa told Scott there was no point in him going to Ravenshire because, as she had said before, in a few days Scott would be forced to leave Mildenbrough for good."What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?" asked Luisa, noticing the change in Scott’s expression."Ah, it’s nothing," Scott said quickly, putting his phone on airplane mode and shoving it back into his pocket.Luisa gave him an irritated look, likely upset that Scott had lied again by saying “it’s nothing,” but she soon leaned her head back against the seat and closed her eyes.Scott tried to do the same, leaning his head back, but he didn’t close his eyes. Instead, he stared at the luggage compartment above, wondering what his ex-fiancée was planning.…At Grandier Corp, inside Lisa’s office."What?! Scott escaped your brother’s trap?" Lisa demanded from Denis.[Yeah,
In the city hall, in the mayor's aides' office...Denis had just opened his laptop when his phone vibrated. He checked it. There was an incoming chat message from Lisa.He opened the message. Denis immediately made a sour face, finding the chat message so long.In essence, in her message, Lisa complained at length about how her days had become so bad in the last few days, and it was all because of that bastard Scott.Lisa also explained the latest situation at her family's company, Grandier Corp., where she was now threatened with losing her position. And not only that, her family who worked there could also be affected.Lisa ended her long message by asking Denis to really punish Scott as she had planned. She also asked Denis to help her gain privileged access to Dominion Group later.After reading it, Denis sighed. Lisa was a real demanding person. No wonder she was always changing boyfriends in college; no rich or popular guy on campus lasted long in a romantic relationship with he
Scott's hands continued to move down until they finally touched Luisa's boobs. Reflexively, Luisa sighed. It made Scott's desire increase drastically. Scott finally squeezed his wife's boobs while taking a deep breath.This time Luisa didn't just sigh, but screamed. But it wasn't a positive response. Suddenly Luisa removed Scott's hands from her boobs, then stood up and turned around, moving slightly away from Scott."What's wrong?" Scott asked, surprised and anxious.Luisa looked at Scott intensely. Her chest rose and fell with her rough breathing.Then she looked down, slightly to the right. There was a kind of guilt visible on her face.Scott was even more worried about Luisa. Luisa's reaction reminded him of the night of their wedding, when Scott and Luisa were about to sleep together—in the same room—for the first time."You okay?" Scott asked."I'm so sorry, Scott," Luisa replied, shaking her head. "I don't think I'm ready for this."Scott sighed. His guess was right. His wife s
Everyone in the bar turned their gaze to Scott, including the bearded man and the woman who was the victim of his slap."Who the fuck are you? Did you even know what you just did to me?!" the bearded man glared at Scott."Yeah, I did. I threw an empty glass at someone who deserved it," Scott said, smirking while raising his chin."You fucking bastard! You're going to regret this stupidity, pal!""Will I? I'm not sure about that."Scott's facial expression and tone clearly showed that he was belittling the bearded man. Of course, this made the bearded man unhappy. He lowered his hand holding his head and found the blood there. He looked back at Scott and grinned."Come here, you son of a bitch! Let's duel like men!" the bearded man challenged."Okay," Scott replied, his hands still in his pants pockets.The bearded man took off his sleeveless vest. Now his large body with a broad, hard chest was visible under his black tank top.The people near the door started to move away. They knew
