Franklin reached out his long arms and held her tightly in his embrace. "If you''re just a little woman, then there are no big female
leads in this world.”
Although he didn''t watch many online dramas or surf the inte much, he had heard of a genre called "big female lead." He
deeply felt that those fictional big female leads were nothingpared to Sylvia.
"We at NorthWind Airlines have also decided to cancel our partnership," Darius was determined to support his wife, so he
nced at Brian. "Although your nes are of good quality, they are not the only option avable for NorthWind Airlines."
At this aviation exhibition, there were 1, 500 industry exhibitors present and not just Brian''s.
Brian was furious; losing threepanies'' partnerships was a disaster for him. He still held onto Amelia''s hair and did not let go.
His heart surged with anger but dared notsh out at anyone else except Amelia.
He lifted Amelia''s head with one hand and mmed it against the bathroom wall with a loud bang!
Amelia was dizzy from being hit; she felt intense pain in her head as blood flowed down from it. She screamed and struggled.
“Ah! Let go of me, dad!"
But Brian really wanted to explode with anger; he grabbed her head and repeatedly mmed it against the wall several times
until blood gushed out from Amelia''s head. She curled up weakly on the ground without enough strength to make any sound.
Only then did Brian let go of her; he red at his daughter whoy dying on the floor before shouting loudly at the bodyguards
outside. "Why haven''t you taken her to hospital yet?"
The bodyguards were already scared stiff by now; they dared not speak up until they heard him shout again before rushing over
to pick up Amelia and take her away.
The bathroom returned back into silence while Brian spoke apologetically. "I''m sorry everyone... it''s my fault for teaching my
daughter poorly... | hope you all can reconsider our cooperation..."
“Business is business. This kind of fighting between women is private matters... so..."
“How can we mix business matters with private affairs? My daughter has already apologized Mrs Maskelyne..."
"Brian, have you finished speaking?" Franklin looked deep into Sylvia''s eyes as he spoke abruptly which startled Brian who
looked up towards him saying, "Franklin... we''ve known each other for many years."
“What does it matter? Knowing each other for years doesn''t stop your daughter from wanting to harm my wife," Franklin spoke
sharply. "I''m giving you respect by not pursuing this any further. Cooperation is off the table.”
With that, he took Sylvia''s hand and left, with Jasper following closely behind. Isabelle and Darius also bid their farewells and left.
Brian was left alone in the bathroom, his eyes bulging with anger as he watched them leave. "Franklin, Darius, you are
unscrupulous! Don''t me me for being unjust!" He couldn''t believe that as a tycoon in the aviation industry, he could be brought
down by them.
Outside of the restaurant, Franklin and Sylvia said their goodbyes to Isabelle and Darius before getting into their car to head
back to their hotel. That same night at the hospital, Amelia slowly regained consciousness.
She looked at Brian with fear in her eyes; she had never seen her father so angry before - it was terrifying. She pulled herself
closer into her covers and lowered her gaze.
Brian''s voice echoed through the room like an ominous whisper. "Don''t worry; Daddy will make things right for you today." If
you''re angry or upset about anything that happened today - if you hate Franklin or Sylvia because they caused your injury - then
Daddy will be angry too."
Amelia suddenly lifted her head up to meet Brian''s sinister gaze; tears filled her eyes as she cried out. "Daddy... it hurts so
much!"
Her forehead was wrapped tightly in thick white bandages which made her look frail even though she had been given painkillers
earlier on. She had always been pampered since childhood; Brian had always spoiled his little girl.
This was Amelia''s first time seeing him lose his temper like this - it scared her deeply.
Although Brian was still furious inside himself over what happened earlier on but now he tried to regain some sense of rationality
after hugging Amelia close. Blood is thicker than water after all... he regretted hitting his own daughter just because he wanted to
save face for business purposes...
He stepped forward towards Amelia again, holding onto his daughter tightly while saying softly. "Daddy lost control earlier on but
if it wasn''t for Sylvia and Franklin, none of this would have happened... don''t worry my dear child... I''ll make sure they pay."
Meanwhile near the hotel where they were staying.
The night sky resembled a navy blue curtain adorned with twinkling stars that cast an enchanting spell over anyone who gazed
upon it deeply enough...
Due to the wind, Sylvia wore a windbreaker and a mask when she went out. Hand in hand, Franklin led her towards the hotel. As
they passed by a bubble tea shop, Franklin bought her a cup of bubble tea.
He held the drink while Sylvia asionally lowered her mask to take a sip. She didn''t really like sweet things, but since he
bought it for her, she thought it was okay to have it once in awhile.
As they neared the hotel entrance, he said, "Take another sip."
She shook her head and replied, "No more. It''s too sweet."
He lifted up his cup and said with insistence, "Just one sip."
Sylvia sighed helplessly and said, "Okay fine. Just one small sip."
As she lowered her mask again to take another sip from the cup, suddenly Franklin leaned in with fresh breath covering his lips
as he gently kissed hers.
It wasn''t deep or long but rather quick as he pulled away with an indulgent gaze on his face saying, "That was really sweet."
Sylvia was left speechless, wondering why this man would be so yful all of sudden? This kind of cutesy first love stuff is only
yed by couples who are still new at dating.
But looking at him now made Sylvia smile inwardly, realizing that there aren''t many beautiful things in this world but night winds
blowing through your hair while being loved by an adoring man like him is definitely one of them.
She knew that she might never forget this kiss under the night sky for as long as she lived.
However... at this moment, she had no idea whaty ahead because life has too many uncertainties just like a giant vortex
heading straight towards both herself and Franklin.
The next morning, the sky began drizzling tiny droplets of rain which fell onto the ground like silk threads.
Sylvia dressed herself up in white shirt along with ck pencil pants. She gazed outside watching raindrops falling down while
memories fromst night shed back into mind.
This man was extremely gentle yet passionate, his strong masculine scent enveloped around them making Sylvia feel exhausted
enough that when she woke up early morning, it was already past seven o''clock.
Looking at Franklin who still slept soundly, Sylvia couldn''t help admiring his chiseled features which were almost perfect. Her lips
curved upwards slightly as if smiling unconsciously.
Suddenly, Franklin opened his eyes wide. Sylvia reached out and pinched his cheek saying, "We have 12. 30 flight. Get up
quickly!"
Franklin grabbed her hand and chuckled, stealing a kiss on her smooth cheek. "It''s still early, not even eight yet," he said.
"So we''re getting up for breakfast?" Sylvia blinked her clear eyes, gazing at his handsome face.
Franklin wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pinched her face in retaliation for the earlier pinch. "Or... we could get
some exercise first?”
Sylvia didn’t respond but gave him a re. How could this man have so much energy?
Before she knew it, Franklin had already flipped over toe on top of her. Sylvia quickly put both hands against his broad
chest. "I''m hungry, really hungry."
But it was toote.
Their flight was at 12. 30 pm and they only arrived at the airport by 10 am without having breakfast.
After checking in hastily, they had a meeting followed by an urgent check on their flight status.
Sylvia pouted in the waiting area; if only she knew beforehand! Luckily nothing went wrong this time.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Once everything was in order, Sylvia and Jasper listened to the announcement from the airport lounge''s speakers. They joined
the queue with the rest of the passengers, waiting to board the ne.
After thest passenger boarded,
Elsa approached and politely
addressed the travelers, "Hello, aa

Sylvia checked the time and realized they were just five minutes away from takeoff.
It seemed that they wouldn''t be able to depart as indicated.
True to her prediction, five minutester, Elsa''s sweet voice announced another dy in the flight departure.
Darcie and the others sat in the lounge, gazing at the rain outside.
"This is so annoying!"
“Who knows when we''ll be able to fly.”
Half an hour passed quickly.
The ne remained motionless.
Some passengers grew impatient, and a few started to raise their voices, expressing their frustration andining loudly.
