Chatper 485
Pushing himself up on his good leg, he left his seat and limped after Natalie to the bathroom, his mind
reeling with eagerness. He could almost taste his revenge.
As she walked, Natalie became aware of a tall, slender person following close behind. She cast a wary
eye behind her but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
“How may I assist you, Miss?”
With a smile, the steward inquired.
This female I Passenger’s apprehensive gaze puzzled him.
“It’s just… I mistook you for someone else. I apologize.”
Natalie managed a smile and was full of remorse.
What had caused her sudden paranoia? Perhaps her oversensitivity sprang from her apprehension of
going to the Iridescent Show.
Natalie shook her head and then entered the bathroom.
As soon as thevatory door was shut, the steward bent down to pour water for a passenger, blocking
Jorge’s path!
“Sir, how may I be of service to you?”
The steward got to his feet and smiled at Jorge as he did at everyone else.
Jorge was one step behind Natalie and was unable to catch up. His mood was already terrible, and the
steward in front of him just served to irritate him further.
Why was the steward even here? “You can’t help me,” Jorge replied angrily and lowered the brim of his
cap. He missed his chance to poison Natalie and so had to return to his seat.
Natalie still sensed a problem even after washing her hands in the restroom. She gave the man
standing behind her some serious thought…
Was he somewhat like Jorge? She only knew Jorge from a few brief encounters with him, so she did
not consider herself to be really familiar with him. She could only recall that he was way too slender
and preferred to hide his weakness by donning baggy clothing.
On the other hand, neither Brandon nor the authorities had updated Natalie on Jorge’s status since the
man went missing.
Everybody in town was trying to find Jorge.
It was rather brazen of him to approach her in such a direct manner. She must have been pipe-
dreaming! This made Natalie feel somewhat better. She unlocked the door and proceeded to her seat.
Her phone rang at this precise moment.
It was Brandon calling.
She answered with a charming grin.
“Brandon, why are you contacting me at this hour? Let’s have a nice chat when I get to Northcliffe. The
aircraft is about to take off.”
The anxiety in Brandon’s voice was as pronounced as ever before!
“Get off the airne now, Natalie!”
What exactly was Brandon trying to get at? Natalie was confused as to why Brandon had lost his cool
and didn’t want her to attend the show.
And he even demanded that she leave the aircraft immediately.
This was just hard to put together.
“What are you trying to pull over on me? The broadcast instructed me to shut down my phone. I’ll give
you a ring when I get there.”
Natalie wished she could go back to her seat immediately. She didn’t want to bother the busy flight
attendants.
“I can’t afford a joke at the moment! You’re in a race against the clock. I asked Sean to get in touch with
the airport security for this airline. You need to exit the aircraft immediately. I’ll be waiting at the gate.”
Brandon stated with seriousness and harshness.
Natalie burst outughing. It was unlikely that she would fall for Brandon’s ploys. It was clear he had a
change of heart and now didn’t want her to apany Draco on the business trip.
And he just tried to trick her out of the ne! Due to his tone, Natalie almost feltpelled to believe
that there were real threats on board. She walked to her seat while still on the phone with Brandon.
She didn’t want to listen to Brandon’s nonsense longer, so she consoled him in a low voice, “Well, I
really have to go. As soon as I get to my destination, it will give you a call.”
Natalie was ready to hang up when Brandon’s voice grew louder.
“Don’t hang up the phone! Just hear me out! Jorge has also boarded the aircraft!”
“What?”
Natalie’s jaw dropped and her eyes widened in disbelief! For two seconds, she was astonished and
couldn’t help but search around for Jorge.
A man wearing a baseball cap was approaching her through the narrow passageway at this moment.
Natalie just caught a glimpse of the man’s face, which was mostly covered by his baseball cap.
However, she was frightened by his evil smile under the brim of his cap.
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. But she wasn’t sure if it was him.
The man in front of her was wearing a baseball cap and his face was almostpletely covered in
shadow.
As the man approached her, Natalie suddenly sensed danger. She turned around and tried to escape.
In the process, she identally bumped into the flight attendant serving the passengers behind her.

Natalie and the flight attendant both fell to the ground.
Natalie’s phone slipped out of her hand and onto the floor, sliding a few meters away from her down the
aisle. She could still just barely make out Brandon’s voice on the other end of the phone, though at that
distance, it had be extremely fuzzy.
The stewardess grimaced in pain.
“Miss, the ne is about to take off. Please take your seat immediately.”
“Danger!” Natalie cried.
Everyone needs to get off the ne!”
The stewardess confusedly gasped, “What?”
Natalie had no time to exin. She turned to look up at the man who had now almost caught up with
her.
Jorge looked terrifying. He held one hand behind his back and seemed to be grasping something
tightly.
Natalie’s lips trembled.
Just as she thought the man in front of her was about to pounce, a pair of hands grabbed onto her
shoulders and helped her up from the ground.
Natalie gasped, “Mr. Wesley?”
The man in front of Natalie was Draco.
“You don’t look good. What’s wrong with you, Natalie?”
Noticing that Natalie had a strange expression on her face on her way out of nned to ask her what
was wrong when she returned to her seat.
However, before she could get to him, Natalie had fallen to the ground in horror, along with the flight
attendant.
Worried, Draco had stood up from his seat and strode over to help Natalie up.
“Mr. Wesley! Watch your back!”
Even as Natalie was speaking, the man in the cap had reached Draco from behind.
