    The distance from ndon Harbor to Nian State was considerable. Even a helicopter ride would


    take two hours.


    Now, they were aiming to halve the time. This didn’t just require


    speed, but also tested the pilot’s expertise.


    Madison couldn’t afford any distraction.


    Throughout the flight, Madison was alert, always aware of their insufficient altitude and the potential


    for bird strikes.


    She didn’t utter a word the entire time.


    57 minutester, Madison finally spotted the boundaries of Nian


    State from the air.


    She exhaled, “We’ve reached Nian State.”


    William looked out in surprise, “So soon?!”


    They had traveled by helicopter to Nian State for business trips before, but the quickest journey had


    always taken at least an hour and a half.


    The helicopternded smoothly on the helipad. William was a bit wobbly and nauseous after the


    landing.


    Madia


    eral times abruptly tilted the helicopter at high


    to sway back and forth. William’s ability to keep his


    wn was a testament to his endurance.


    on didn’t disembark with them. She saw Ethan, through the kpit, nce back at her.


    As Ethan strode into the towering airport under the morning sunlight, his shadow distorted on the


    ground.

    Madison, with her exceptional vision, thought she saw Ethan smile faintly in her direction.


    Nian State Airport.


    Ethan, who was about to handle an emergency, saw a message that had just arrived on F******k as


    he entered the meeting room door.


    Madison: [Go President Grant! You’re the best!]


    This simple sentence, in Ethan’s ears, seemed to transform into her voice, causing an


    uncontroble smile to y on his lips.


    This silly woman, her own life was a mess, yet she somehow found the time tofort others.


    onter was on


    Madison, who stayed behind in the the ground


    inspecting the exterior of the helicopter for any issues. As per procedure, she reported their flight to


    the local authorities in Nian


    State.


    If they returnedter, their helicopter registration number would appear on the flight path as a


    warning to any other helicopters that might be in the vicinity, especially passenger nes that might


    take


    nearby.


    *****:


    ***k.


    Bored, Madison was scrolling through her Moments feed on F******* when she saw the ultrasound


    picture Lucas had posted ten minutes


    ago.


    Lucas had written: [Finally bing a father, can’t wait for your arrival!]


    Seeing such news again, Madison was surprised at her own. eptance.


    Had she be tolerant?


    No.


    She had just epted the reality and understood the path ahead. Anything not worth it should be


    discarded quickly.


    Madison clicked on Lucas’ profile and decisively added him to her


    cklist.


    The divorce cooling-off period was not yet over. When the time came, just a phone call would


    suffice.


    Before blocking Lucas, Madison deliberately screenshot his Moments. post and saved the


    ultrasound picture.


    Afterwards, she drafted a new Moments post and snapped a picture of the nearby helicopter before


    hitting send.


    Only then did Madison notice the breaking news.


    The news reported that a cargo ne captain from Mukino Airlines had a fight with a captain from


    the American Airlines at Nian State Airport, which resulted in the death of the American Airlines


    captain.


    This was a devastating scandal!


    Captain of Mukino Airlines had actually fought someone?


    led them?


    e news instantly triggered a wave of public criticism and mockery. It was said that in just four hours,


    Mukino Airlines’ stock market had be unstable.


    Many members of Mukino Airlines withdrew their memberships.


    The family of thete American Airlines captain had made a scene at the Nian State branch of


    Mukino Airlines.


    +25 BONUS


    No wonder Ethan hurried to Nian State so anxiously.


    Madison furrowed her brows.


    American Airlines was owned by Lucas. With such a major incident,


    how could he still be in the mood to post on Moments?


    Usually, people who behave this way either know they won’t lose anything from the incident, or they


    simply don’t care about it.


    Madison quickly unblocked Lucas and began scrolling through his Moments posts.


    “Miss rk, President Grant wants you to prepare to return in fifteen minutes. We still have a


    banquet to attend,” William suddenly approached her.


    She was surprised at Ethan’s speed in handling the situation, but quickly responded, “Alright.”


    Afterwards, William walked off to make a call, seemingly arranging something.


    As Madison was about to board the helicopter for their return journey,


    she received a call.


    It was from Lucas.


    e hesitated before answering, “Hello?”


    Madison, where are you?”


    Madison’s tone was icy, “Get to the point.”


    Hearing her unfamiliar tone, Lucas was taken aback.


    When had Madison ever spoken to him without warmth, always


    careful not to upset him?


    How could she now…


    But there was something more important at hand. Lucas didn’t dwell


    on it.


    He said in his usual authoritative tone, “I’ll be holding a press conferenceter. As my wife,


    apany me. I’ll send you the time and ce, be quick…”


    “Lucas,” Madison cut him off.


    Hearing her voice turn cold, Lucas frowned.


    Sheughed, “Are you asking for my help?”


    “Madison, you…”


    “Don’t call my name.”


    Madison’s tone was indifferent, “Is that how you ask someone for a favor? Do you think I’ll do


    whatever you ask? So, have you had enough of happily spending time with your future wife and


    child, and now that you’re in trouble, you remember me?


    “I remember you being skinny. How did your face get so thick after just a few days?”


    Hearing such sharp words from Madison for the first time, Lucas was stunned for a long while.


    Madisonced at the active call and her eyes were ice-cold, “I hope uture when you call me, it will


    be about how to divide our ot asking me brazenly to do this and that for you. I’m not a y. I don’t have


    that much time to do things for a beast.”


    She hung up promptly, and climbed onto the helicopter.


    The way she closed the helicopter door was cool and aloof.


    William, who was observing from a distance, was somewhat entranced…


    On the other end, Lucas, who had just been hung up on, nearly threw


    his phone out in anger.


    He stared nkly at the call log, unable to ept that Madison would speak to him in such a tone.


    She…


    How could she treat him like this?


    How could she?


    Didn’t she love him very much?


    Proud and possessive, Lucas struggled to ept the reality.


    The unbearable reality that Madison might truly no longer care about his feelings!


    No.


    Lucas believed that Madison was still ying hard to get, that she was angry at him and that’s why


    she said those things.


    wune


    He refused to believe that Madison had stopped caring about him. He decided to call Madison again


    later.
