Alec thought what Jenny said made sense, so he sat and waited, not in a hurry to handle them.The two of them began arguing. Julie looked antsy. "Didn't we agree on making them all die with us? Why are you going back on your words?" she asked, her eyes reddened. She was about to point her gun at him.The man was just as Jenny expected. He was the plane's pilot-in-training and was called Brett Samson.Brett was exasperated seeing her so agitated. He said, "I don't mean to go back on my words. I said I would die with you, and I will. But I have a family. I need to leave them some money before I die."Julie was quiet. Brett continued, "I swear, once I get my money, I'll steer the plane toward Mount Enderest and crash it. They will all die together with us."Julie looked at him and finally decided to believe him. She had no choice.Brett was satisfied and said, "Keep watch. Tell them that we won't harm them as long as the Parrington government gives us the money."That was just to f
Jenny was worried. They'd be easily spotted if they rushed in like this. He had a gun, too. If anything happened…She pulled at Alec. "Don't go in. Find a way to lure him out."Alec thought for a while and thought it made sense. They would be able to ambush him at the entrance, and it'd be safer.The decision was made. Jenny made a sound, and Brett's attention was caught easily. "Julie?"No one answered. He began to get worried and walked out with his gun.Alec and Jenny were hiding on either side of the cockpit door. The moment Brett appeared at the entrance, Alec threw himself at him and knocked him to the floor.There was a loud bang. Everyone turned pale."Alec!" Jenny screamed.Alec waved his hand. "I'm fine."The bullet had hit the floor, not him. Brett was quickly tied up, but his bullet was causing a problem. The plane was shot, and since it was on autopilot mode, it began to fall."I'll look at the pilot." Jenny walked toward the cockpit. If the pilots were just knoc
In Claymond City, an ambulance, a fire truck, and a police car were on standby in a row on the runway. They were waiting for the plane to land.Jenny looked ahead, a strange calm taking over."Are you sure about this?" On the other hand, Alec was worried, not for himself, but for Jenny.Jenny smiled and said sarcastically, "It's a little too late to ask, isn't it?"What could Alec do if she was feeling unsure?"True." Alec smiled lightly and said nothing else."Are you afraid?" Jenny looked at him, smiling. "Of dying like this?""Not really. As long as I'm with you, death doesn't seem as scary." These words came straight from Alec's heart, but Jenny didn't feel that way.She didn't mock him, however. In a situation like this, they really had no choice when it came to fear."Prepare to land," she said calmly. Alec got himself ready.The plane began to dip. Claymond City and Parrington were not far from each other. The fuel was almost used up, or they would have flown a little
Jenny went down the plane. Right after doing so, applause sounded. She realized that the passengers hadn't left yet. They seemed to be waiting for her."Thank you," they said gratefully. Jenny was suddenly a little embarrassed. She wasn't too confident when it happened. If something terrible happened, she'd never make it up to all of them. Thankfully, she was lucky.After they left, Jenny was questioned by the police. After that, she finally left the airport. Alec followed by her side. He felt proud when he looked at her. This was the woman he loved. She was brilliant, shining bright like a star.Jenny was oblivious to his thoughts. All she wanted was to go home and sleep; she didn't want to think about anything else."Get into the car. I'll drive you home," Alec said. Vincent was waiting next to the car by the road. He admired Jenny from the start; now, she was like some otherworldly being.Jenny didn't refuse. She sat in his car, and they headed toward Parrington. The incid
Jenny walked out of the chairman's office, tired. She had a bunch of things waiting to be done, and now there was a new task on her list."Jenny." Morgan went to her side cheerfully, eyes shining. "Was it really you on the plane?""How I wish it wasn't." She wished that someone on the plane knew how to fly. That way, she wouldn't have had to take over, and something like this wouldn't happen.Morgan placed her hands on her face. "You're a hero! Why are you so sad?""I'm not a hero. I was just forced to fly it." Thank God nothing had happened. If it had, millions of people would be cursing her right now.Morgan knew that Jenny disliked situations like this, and she comforted her. "It's okay. The people online have the memory span of a goldfish. They'll forget it all in just a few days.""Hopefully so," Jenny said.She said little else to Morgan and changed into scrubs, preparing herself for the upcoming surgeries. She didn't mind what people did as long as it didn't bother her.
He secretly blamed Yvonne, too. If it weren't for her influence, he wouldn't have sold his shares, and if it weren't for her insistence on starting a business, the money wouldn't have all been gone. They wouldn't have had to move to a place like this.Yvonne could hear the blame in his words, and she instantly scowled. "What? Are you blaming me?""No." Sam walked to the sofa and sat down. He suddenly realized that Yvonne wasn't as great as he had imagined. But he still loved her, so he didn't say it out loud. He was only venting."Look at you. You're useless." Yvonne didn't hold back. She was upset with him for a long time. "Why don't you get a job and earn some money? Am I going to raise you?" Yvonne roared. She regretted marrying him.Sam was feeling angry, too. "Me, working a job? Never.""Are you planning to rot away like this for the rest of your life? Waiting for me to work?" Yvonne's tone was heavy.Sam said nothing. He would never go to work. If those friends of his found
"I'm not hungry," Jenny refused. She was feeling tired and wasn't in the mood to eat with Alec.His face shifted slightly after being rejected. He was a little embarrassed. "You can't upset your stomach. You need to eat something, at least."In his eyes, Jenny wasn't hungry. She just didn't want to eat with him, which made him sad. Thankfully, he had thick skin. Otherwise, he would have turned and left."Are you less busy nowadays?" Jenny asked.Alec nodded. "Almost everything is settled."Jenny's phone rang; it was Jade. Jenny was a little surprised. She accepted the call, and Jade immediately asked, "Are you free tonight, Jenny?""Yes. What's up?" Jenny ignored Alec's presence. It wasn't as if he was here on serious business. Of course she'd say she was free.Jade didn't know about Jenny's situation. She said at once, "There's a brilliant person applying for a job at the company. I'd like you to look him over. And if you think he's alright, I'd like to make him the vice presid
His question was giving Jenny a headache. She didn't answer him outright, merely asking, "Would you give up even if I said no?"Alec shook his head at once. "I'd never give up, even if you don't give me a chance."Jenny laughed. "So why are you asking this question?" He was going to persist anyway. He needn't ask if there was to be a conclusion.Alec understood, but he still felt uncertain. He said nothing more and drove on. Soon, the car stopped at La Vie Jen Rose Designs. Jenny didn't linger for long. "Thank you," she said. "No problem. Call me if you need anything," he said like always, despite knowing that Jenny wouldn't call if something happened.Jenny waved at him, then went into the building. Alec watched her leave before driving away unwillingly.When Jenny reached Jade's office, only Jade was in there. She was surprised. "Didn't you say I was to meet someone? Where are they?""I got the assistant to bring him around the company. They'll be back soon. Have a seat." J
