Ivanka felt like she was in a dream.She looked at Michael in surprise. After all, Michael always appeared indifferent and kept a distance from people around him. But today, the usually cold Michael suddenly stepped up to maintain order and calm everybody down.At that moment, she had a bizarre thought: Michael seemed to be a kind-hearted guy.Michael turned off the microphone. The flight captain immediately looked at him with gratitude in his eyes. “Thank you so much for doing this, sir!”However, even though the situation was stabilized at the moment, they were not truly safe. The captain added anxiously, “The plane is still flying, but it is unstable. I am afraid that the pilot can’t take it anymore.”It was his fifteenth year working on a plane. Regardless of how experienced he was, he had not been through a crisis like this one.Michael immediately said, “I’ll pilot the plane, and I need a flight conductor.”With immense disbelief in their eyes, the captain and the flight a
If he made a mistake, he would become a killer who failed hundreds of passengers…While he deserved to die for his mistake, he could not let the others die with him…He was surprised when the flight captain came into the cockpit.The captain said, “Well done, Owen. Let Mr. Barkworth and Ms. Lane take care of the rest. Switch places with Mr. Barkworth. Stabilize the plane before getting up.”Owen was flabbergasted. “Is… Is this alright?”Seeing that someone wanted to take over, he was surprised and incredibly relieved.The captain nodded solemnly again. “Yes, quickly.”Owen responded with an affirmative and did as he was told. He looked at Michael. “Here you go, Mr. Barkworth.”As he called out to Michael, he was still in deep shock. Even though he had seen Michael and Ivanka on the television screen, the astonishment he felt was still indescribable.Who would have thought that Mr. Barkworth could fly a plane!Michael took the pilot’s seat and started controlling the plane. He
She could view his side profile. The contours of his facial features were handsome and sharp like they had always been, yet they made her feel oddly safe and secure today.Without him, the people on this plane would have died.At present, no one knew what exactly had happened or why the three green helicopters had shown up. They had already reported this incident to the authorities.At such a critical time, Michael had remained composed and saved a plane full of people. He also calmed them all down and made them return to their seats.It was the first time Ivanka realized that Michael was capable of compassion.If he just wanted to save himself, he did not have to put in so much effort.He did what he had done just so he could save all the passengers.At that point, Ivanka no longer needed to give directions.She slowly got up from her seat, but she was not in a hurry to leave the cockpit.After all, there would be passengers waiting outside and hoping to see who had saved the
Back then, Evan had intended to report all his findings to Michael.But to this day, he still recalled what Michael had said at the time.“There’s no need to tell me about these things.”So Evan simply dropped the subject.As Michael’s expression grew grimmer, Evan feigned ignorance and said, “Let’s go, Mr. Barkworth.”Michael got up wordlessly. Evan quickly followed him.…Ivanka returned home to tidy herself up. She immediately called Jonah.Jonah answered the call almost immediately. He smiled slightly. “What’s the matter, my princess?”Ivanka furrowed her brows slightly, but her expression was calm as she said, “I’m back. Next, I’m going to work on the request you made a while ago with the company. But please give me some time. I still have two projects to deal with before I focus on yours. Is that alright with you?”A serious look dawned on Jonah’s face. “When did you get back?”Ivanka hesitated and did not immediately answer, “Why do you ask?”Jonah frowned a little.
After all, shortly after this incident, many people said that Ivanka fell on purpose just so Michael could save her in front of everyone.But some people said that they seemed close during the banquet.Ivanka was on Michael’s arm the entire time. It would be ludicrous for her to drown herself in order to get closer to him.What if he did not want to save her?She would have given herself away, right?Everyone was staring at Ivanka. They all wanted to know first-hand information about the incident.With a smile, Ivanka said gently, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m standing right before you, alive and well, am I not?”She quite liked Rebecca. This young lady seemed unpretentious and had been kind. The two of them got along rather well. Moreover, Rebecca had been giving Ivanka pointers and helping her out in the company, so Ivanka was fond of her.Hearing her reply, Rebecca sighed in relief. “Alright.”Ivanka nodded. Then she leaned in slightly and said in a low voice that on
“What’s with Mr. Sadler this time?”“No way. Even though Mr. Sadler is a playboy, he won’t lose his wits over women. That’s how he still manages to play around. Ivanka may be special to him. He may be willing to spend more time and energy on her, but it doesn’t mean that he will act on impulse and make such a big investment just for her! Hundreds of billions! That’s a lot of money!”“Agree. I also think that Mr. Sadler isn’t an impulsive man. Besides, there are lots of shareholders in his company. For such a big decision, even if Mr. Sadler has a say, he still needs approval from the majority of his shareholders. In that case, does it mean that Ivanka’s proposal is genuinely brilliant?”“But I saw that proposal before. It wasn’t very good. It seems impossible for him to say yes.”“Ivanka made some changes to the proposal.”“She can do that?”“I’m telling you something, promise me that it won’t leave this room.”One of the employees suddenly spoke in hushed tones, which piqued ma
Rebecca mouthed “good luck” to Ivanka.Ivanka nodded with a smile before following Patty to Chiara’s office.Chiara felt agitated and murderous the moment she saw Ivanka.Though fleeting, Ivanka could sense Chiara’s hostility.Chiara was no longer bound to a wheelchair. Did she think about how to recover faster after they returned so that it would be easier for her to get closer to Michael?She smiled at the two and asked softly, “Oh, you two are here. How can I help you?”Patty promptly handed over Ivanka’s proposal to her and respectfully said, “Ms. Chiara, Sadler’s Group has agreed to collaborate with Ms. Ivanka. However, they’ve requested Ms. Ivanka to personally oversee the project, which may require her absence for about four months. As it’s not within my purview to decide, we require your approval.”Chiara was surprised. “He agreed to an investment worth a few hundred billion dollars?!”Was he dumb and had too much money to spare?No, that could not be it. Was there som
Chiara glanced at Ivanka mockingly before continuing. “Iv, it’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that your expertise lies elsewhere. If you specialize in this area with loads of experience, I’d definitely be all for it. But you need to understand how crucial this project is. Even if we turned down Sadler’s Group’s request, I can’t have you in charge of this project. You guys better get back to work.”Chiara’s voice was firm yet tinged with resignation.Patty felt it was a pity that the project could not materialize. But since Chiara made the call, she could not object to her decision. She looked at Ivanka and said, “Let’s go, Ms. Ivanka.”Ivanka glanced at Chiara and smiled, “Chiara, does this decision speak for the whole company?”Patty was stunned but remained silent.Chiara did not immediately respond; she only stared at Ivanka, seemingly waiting for her to continue speaking.However, this time, Ivanka said nothing. She smiled and said, “Since you disapprove, I’ll just
