Chapter 920
"Did our family''s child grow up smoothly and have such an excellent daughter? And what about her mother?" Jasmine looked at
Queena with tears in her eyes. "Where is she? Can | see her? | really want to see her!"
Queena saw her tears and felt a pang of sourness in her nose. She turned away before speaking, taking a moment topose
herself. "She passed away, in a car ident. Sylvia''s sister was also in the car, and they both... passed away.”
Jasmine froze, transparent tears streaming down her face like broken beads. "How could that be possible? She was still so
young..."
She choked up as she looked at Queena, eyshes trembling uncontrobly. "Sister-inw, it''s my fault; everything is my fault! If
| had stayed with her back then, she wouldn''t have left our family."
"Jasmine ," Queena said softly as she tried to console Jasmine while wiping the tears from her own face with one hand.
"It has been so many years since then; why do you keep bringing it up?" Her nose reddened slightly as she spoke.
"| don''t have any wishes or desires; all | want is for Sylvia and re to be well taken care of," Queena continued.
“As for Madeleine... it has been so many years now that | no longer think about her anymore." She suppressed the pain deep
within herself but every word felt like a knife twisting inside of her heart.
It was as if someone were holding a knife and stabbing repeatedly into the depths of heartache that couldn''t be released or
vented out.
"Our Hipps family hasn''t done anything wrong but God took away my beloved Madeleine," Queena said firmly while looking at
Jasmine through tear-filled eyes.
"So many people wanted us Hipps family to fall apart; so many people wanted us destroyed but no matter what they do we will
never fall!"
At this moment, it seemed like nothing had changed from when she was on the battlefield - an irondy who stood alone against
all odds!
"Sister-inw!" Jasmine finally couldn''t hold back any longer and burst into painful sobs without caring about maintaining any
grace orposure.
It seemed like all these years of homesickness had finally caught up with them - wanting to cry out all their pain, regret and
longing for home altogether.
"Sylvia is our onlyfort. All we can do is protect her and re, and not give those people any opportunity. The first time
caught us off guard, but the second time would be foolish. So | don''t want a repeat of the Hipps family disaster likest time,"
Queena said as she wiped away tears with a tissue and handed two to Yetan.
"Stop crying, we''re not dead yet! We still have to protect our children," she continued.
“My sister-inw is right, we''re not dead yet! If those people want to target Hipps family again, they''ll have to step over our dead
bodies!" Giancarloy on his hospital bed staring at the ceiling with hatred in his eyes. "They want to destroy us Hipps family?
Not a chance!"
"If they find out that we''ve found Sylvia, they''ll definitelye up with other ns. When there was only re as the heir of
Hipps family, they wanted us dead; now there''s Sylvia who''s such an excellent granddaughter - who knows what crazy things
they might do?" Old Mr. Hipps'' hair was white against his temples but his eyes were full of spirit as if he had suddenly regained
fighting spirit. "I will do everything in my power to protect these children!"
He swore!
Thergest conference room at SouthStar Airlines.
Ten tall men dressed in SouthStar Airlines pilot uniforms stood side by side with their hands holding their caps while their
SouthStar Airlines badges shone under the lights; all of them looked serious as they gazed at a handsome man standing before
them.
Franklin scanned these ten neatly arranged men and spoke solemnly. "You are all chosen from among the best pilots at
SouthStar Airlines; you must perform exceptionally well in this international pilot knowledgepetition."
All ten replied loudly. "We will definitely do so!"
Franklin narrowed his eyes slightly and said. "Let''s go!"
Today was just a preliminary round for an international pilot knowledgepetition consisting of three rounds. preliminaries,
semi-finals and finals - followed by elimination rounds until one winner remained.
In Franklin''s view, written exams were rtively simplepared to finals which were much more difficult; however he still had
some confidence in his team members.
After leaving the meeting room via elevator down into parking lot where everyone got into internal specialized cars marked
clearly with SouthStar Airline logo on top
Jasper and Franklin got into a ck car and headed towards thepetition venue. Thepetition was set in Larro''srgest
sports stadium, where flight elites from all over the world were waiting to enter.
Almost every participating pilot wore a uniform representing their identity and airlinepany.
The uniform styles varied, but it was well known that pilots had to be physically fit, so this time''s knowledge contest even added a
physical fitnesspetition.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
There were not only blonde-haired and blue-eyed pilots but also pilots from various airlines in the East. All you could see were
one handsome guy after another, which was simply a feast for uniform enthusiasts.
The atmosphere on-site exuded solemnity everywhere with monitoring equipment everywhere. T
here were alsorge screens above the audience seats outside of the venue that clearly showed everything inside the exam
room; any movement could be seen clearly.
After getting off the car, staff immediately greeted them and helped SouthStar Airlines’ participantsplete their entry
procedures into the exam room.
Afterpleting everything at exactly nine o''clock sharp, it was time for opening ceremony. Franklin raised his eyebrows as he
saw an old acquaintance appear on stage - Brian.
He vaguely guessed that Brian woulde but did not expect him to be invited again as an opening speech speaker this time
around.
"The Flight Knowledge Contest with World-ss Standards. Eastern Charm & Safe Flying" begins today!
"This contest is not only intended to test global flight teams’ knowledge skills level but more importantly aims to cultivate
knowledgeable employees and build learning-oriented teams,” Brian said in his speech.
"| hope all global pilots can establish safety development concepts, enhance safety production awareness, improve professional
quality of flight teams while promoting safe development and high-quality development of aviation."
After speaking for about ten minutes or so, Brian ended his speech announcing that half an hourter; official matches would
begin.
Franklin took onest deep look at his subordinates before saying. "Waiting for your good news."
"Yes," everyone replied unanimously as they lined up to enter the written test examination hall.
Brian walked up to Franklin with narrowed eyes smiling. "Franklin, we meet again."
Franklin nodded distantly towards him. "Hope you''re doing well.”
They had quarreled very unpleasantly atst year''s air show; now Brian unexpectedly came over proactively greeting him again.
Franklin had no interest in interacting with him and felt nothing towards him. However, Brian''s smile became more meaningful as
he said, "Brian, ourpany has also sent ten pilots over this time. Who do you think will be the champion in the end?"
His words were full of naked provocation and disdain.
Franklin stared at Brian''s disgusting old face like a cold star. "So it was you who decided to add a physical fitnesspetition at
thest minute?"
"Franklin, you''re still so smart," Brianughed arrogantly. "We Evodroupolians and Aettosans are naturally taller and stronger in
terms of physical fitness."
His face was everywhere begging for a beating.
Disgusting.
Franklin smiled instead of getting angry. "Let''s wait and see."
He didn''t believe that his people would lose.
After Darius escorted his NorthWind Airlines pilots into the exam room, he walked towards Franklin just in time to hear what
Brian said clearly.
He looked at Brian with disgust. "Everything is just beginning now."
"So what?" Brian sneered triumphantly.
Both he and Franklin were judges. As Franklin watched his back slightly frown, he felt that something was wrong.
But by then, staff members hade to urge them on. "Mr Maskelyne, please take your seat on the judging panel.”
Franklin held onto his judge''s certificate before saying to Darius next to him. "I''m going inside; be careful with this boy."
"Okay," Darius nodded at him.
Once inside the exam room, Franklin sat down on the judging panel seat.
Since it was a written test after all, after preparation bell rang out there were staff members distributing question papers and
answer sheets.

Franklin smiled faintly. "It''s just the preliminaries. As long as we don''t get eliminated, it doesn''t matter if we don''t get a perfect
score.”
A perfect score is 100 points and anything above 95 points qualifies for advancement into the finals.
