And when he left, they threw several hundred thousand cash at him, claiming it was compensation.
They beat him up and then just tossed money at him and left?!
Lucas couldn’t swallow this humiliation. His tone menacing, he threatened, “You wait, Madison, I won’t let you get away with this!”
After such a call, Madison’s mood remained unaffected.
She had just hung up when Ethan sent her a WeChat document.
It was the verdict on the asset division, which would be transferred to her account within a week.
Ethan had indeed resolved this matter for her.
“Do we kill him?” A sudden whisper near her ear.
Startled, Madison exclaimed, “What?”
Evel had approached to within a meter of her, fixing her with a steady gaze, repeating, “Should we kill that man on the phone?”
Madison swallowed hard, “Ahem… My dear, we’re law-abiding citizens, no need for violence, all right?”
Lucas had no idea how close he’d come to meeting his maker.
That evening, Ethan arrived home late, long after Madison had gone
to bed.
Evel was in the study.
Ethan, reclining in his chair, legs propped on the desk, instructed,
1/4
Ensure her safety on tomorrow’s flight.”
“Yes,” Evel nodded.
His words were precise, “If she dies, you go with her.”
Evel’s expression didn’t falter, “She won’t die.”
“No injuries either.”
“Understood.”
Ethan chose not to approach Madison tonight, fearing that mentioning tomorrow’s flight would add to her stress.

In reality, Madison’s mental resilience was robust.
She didn’t lose sleep but instead rested exceptionally well.
Waking promptly at 7:30 a.m., she prepared swiftly, then headed to the company with Evel.
Today’s mission was crucial, necessitating an earlier start fo flight meetings.
In the briefing room.
Evel stood behind Madison like a secretary, masked, clad in white.
As captain, Madison went through the routine pre-flight checks methodically.
“Aren’t you nervous, Captain?” Jack rubbed his hands throughout.
Henry was tense, “I’m nervous, how come you’re not?”
“Why be nervous?” Madison stood, “Carry on as usual, treat today like any regular flight.”
She confirmed the flight path for the umpteenth time, mentally

rehearsing several emergency escape routes.
Her nerves were taut all morning.
On the way to the terminal, Frank came to reassure the crew, “Relax,
don’t be tense.”
Then he saw Madison laughing silently at a comedy on her phone.
He’d worried for nothing.
12:35 p.m.
Passengers boarded the aircraft in succession.
Many off-duty pilots watched from the terminal’s panoramic windows as the plane prepared for takeoff.
A concerned captain murmured, “Nothing can go wrong, right?”
Frank’s heart drummed, “The two oceans are the riskiest, especially now in the rainy season. It’s hard to predict.”
On the plane.
As the aircraft was about to take off, a woman’s calm voice filled
the cabin-
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am the captain of this flight. We are bound for the capital of N country, with an estimated flight duration of 13 hours and 25 minutes. If you need any assistance during the journey, please contact us.”
Pausing, Madison added, “On behalf of Mukino Airlines’ crew, I wish you a smooth journey.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She replaced ‘pleasant’ with ‘smooth’.
As Madison steered the international flight into the sky, her heart ascended with the plane.
Was she afraid?
Perhaps a bit.
“Captain, I’m so nervous I can hardly breathe,” Jack swallowed hard.
Not just him, even the typically composed Landu grew solemn.
No one wanted any mishaps. Should an emergency arise near those vast oceans, their careers would be the least of their worries…
Their lives could be left in a foreign land.
Madison, at the helm, had successfully launched the aircraft skyward.
As the afternoon sun beamed down, the calm in her eyes transformed into a cascade of falling petals, resolute and determi
“What you need to do, aside from assisting me, is to trust me.”
Trust that I have the skill to bring us all safely home.
As she concluded, the plane, heading toward the international route, approached a growing expanse of dark clouds.
On Madison’s face, a resolute determination emerged, ready to stake everything on this flight.
