The announcement of Shihua’s dismissal stirred up a storm within the ranks of Mukino
International.
Employees, too wary to gossip inpany chat rooms, could only whisper among themselves in
private.

“Hey, does anyone actually know what happened?”
“Just recently, wasn’t she rumored to be the big boss’s girlfriend? How did she get fired just like
that?”
“Could it be a smokescreen?”
“But look at the severity of what’s written in the announcement. If it was just for show, they wouldn’t
have gone so far. After this, no airline in the country is going to hire her.”
It was as good as destroying Shihua’s livelihood.
So what exactly had happened to provoke their President Grant to such fury?
While everyone had their theories, no one dared to discuss them openly.
And Mukino International’s announcement quickly drew the attention of every airline in the country.
Behind closed doors, manypanies scrutinized Shihua’s credentials.
On paper, her resume was impable.
But a little probing into her character revealed she was currently detained at the police station!

Airlines were a tight-knitmunity; a little inquiry here and there, and the truth would emerge.
Yet, the information from Mukino International, the leading civil
aviationpany, was airtight.
Madison only learned of Shihua’s firing when she received a
notification for a medical check-up, a tidbit she heard through Amelia
rather than Mukino International’s official F******k ount.
“You fired Shihua?”
Ethan was busy tying his tie, nonchnt. “Hmm.”
Sensing his mood was somewhat subdued, Madison pondered for a moment before sidling up to
him with a yful tilt of her head and a
coy smile. “Can you tell me why?”
The woman beside him always seemed so tender and dependent when she wasn’tmanding an
aircraft, even when her uniform suggested authority.
Ethan was powerless against her charm and pulled her into his
embrace with one arm. “She was unstable. Keeping her around could have caused us a lot of
trouble.”
“Your announcement might make it impossible for her to stay in the country,” Madison noted.
“Her fate is not my concern.”
Ethan pinched her earlobe. “Why are you worried about her?”
“I’m not worried about her.”
Madison wrapped her arms around his waist. “I was just thinking about what it takes for a pilot to go
from learning to bing a captain. It’s not a little bit of hard work.”

Ethan studied Madison’s expression and smiled.
He liked the kindness in the woman he loved, realizing he needed to protect her more fiercely; her
nature made her an easy target for exploitation.
Thus, Ethan yed the viin and recounted everything from the night it all began at the Grant
family dinner, all the way to the hospital after being rammed by Shihua’s car.
He had intended to make Madison more realistic, to stop considering others so much.
But instead…
Ethan’s eyes widened in surprise at the woman before him whoseplexion had dramatically
changed.
“Crack!”
“Madison…”
Even the worldly Ethan, who had faced countless crises, was dumbfounded.
He watched in shock as blood appeared in Madison’s hand.
“Jessica!” His thunderous call echoed through the vi.
Jessica rushed in, breathless. “What’s wrong? What happened?!”
Her first thought at Ethan’s tone was that something had happen to Madison, and she was right.
Ethan was holding Madison’s wounded wrist, shaking off the shards of the ss toothbrush that had
exploded in her grip. “Get the first aid kit, quick.”
He sat her down anxiously. “Why on earth were you crushing your toothbrush?”
BONUS
Madison’s expression was nk. “Why didn’t you tell me that day?”
She had noticed the wound on Ethan’s forehead but had not imagined it was the result of Shihua’s
crazed car ramming.
Just the thought of Shihua’s desperate, aggressive act against Ethan cracked the thick veneer of
Madison’s rationality.
Jessica scrambled to retrieve the first aid kit.
Ethan knelt on one knee before her, tenderly tending to the cuts on
her hand.
“Call the medical check-up center and say Madison has to postpone for a couple of days.”
A hand injury would certainly disqualify her from flying, barring her from the evaluation and forcing
her to wait until next year.
Under the current stringent global ranking system, unrated pilots were forbidden from captaining
international flights and could at most
serve as co-pilots.
Madison took a deep breath to steady her emotions. “She and Lucas
are cut from the same cloth. If they don’t get their way, theysh out in desperation.”
“So we’re both unlucky in people?” Ethan joked.
Madison cast a cold nce his way, a reminder in her eyes. “You didn’t tell me your n was to
have dinner at the Grants’ with Shih
Ethan raised his hands in an oath. “Not only did you not know, I didn
either!”
The President of Mukino International was on his knee, swearing his truth to his girlfriend.
Jessica couldn’t bear to watch and quickly left the room.

“What’s going on? What’s happened?”
Amelia had been waiting anxiously for Jessica’s return.
Jessica pulled her downstairs, “The goddess is angry. She found out about Shihua ramming my
brother’s car and got so upset she shattered her ss toothbrush. Her hand’s damaged.”
“Her hand is damaged?!” Amelia’s shriek was near breaking point.
Jessica mped a hand over her mouth. “Don’t yell!!!”
Hands were vital for pilots!
If word got out, who knew how the media would spin it.
At this critical moment, it was best to do less rather than more.
“If the goddess can’t fly internationally, that means we get to rest too,
Jessica sighed. “Paid leave is wonderful.”
A pnded on the back of Jessica’s head, and she spun around in indignation.
Confronted by her brother’s stern face, her anger melted into
sycophancy. “Yes, brother? What do you need?”
“Make some breakfast; Madison hasn’t eaten yet.” Ethan’smand
was icy.
“Amelia.”
The named Amelia straightened her attire and followed the Chair into the study.
Once inside the study, Amelia realized there were already two others
present.
Michael, his brain fried from a night’s work, slumped on the sofa,
while the assassindy by the window looked positively radiant.
+25 BONUS
Standing at attention, Amelia awaited President Grant’s instructions.
Ethan lit a cigarette. “Have you been in touch with your brother recently?”
She knew he was asking about herself. “No. We avoid talking unless necessary.”
The man’s gaze was sharp as he addressed her. “There’s something I need you to handle.”
