Chapter 208

Darius was still curious about the situation. After all, according to the airline company's rules, a flight

was unlikely to take off within an hour and a half if its door opened.

The passengers were losing their patience at that point. They grew restless and began clamoring,

causing a racket in the cabin.

Only Darius remained unbothered by things as he sat in his seat.

Meanwhile, Kate assumed that the door had opened because of her. A proud grin spread across her

face just then. She was pleased with how quickly the captain had acted upon her orders.

"How about it? Are you afraid now? Know that a plane won’t fly if I don’t allow it. So, do as I say if you

want to continue your flight comfortably," she said, smirking while raising her chin triumphantly at

Darius.

She felt as though things were going her way.

Darius ignored her as he heard some familiar footsteps. He turned toward the door and saw two

security accompanying Elizabeth into the plane, their hands on her shoulder.

However, the two were different from the ones before at the check-in gate.

That caused Darius' eyes to narrow.

Next, something even more shocking happened. They led Elizabeth to sit two rows behind Darius.

Kate’s eyes rounded with shock. Nevertheless, she soon composed herself and approached Elizabeth

with a snobbish sneer.

"I never thought I’d see you here after our last encounter at that hotel. I told you never to show up

before me again, or I’d make you pay. Yet, I'll have to break my promise and greet you merrily since

you're showing up before me in such a shameful manner."

Darius let out a long sigh.

He then looked at Erin, instructing, "Call Zack. I don’t want this airline company anymore."

That was when another person showed up at the airplane's door. His clothes ripped from squeezing

past the thin gap from the almost closing airplane door.

Darius sighed again.

In the meantime, the entire plane fell silent as Erin made a phone call.

The newcomer's gaze lingered between Kate and Elizabeth before eventually locking onto the latter.

"Miss Wilson, I've got some bad news for you."

Darius could tell Kate’s breathing became heavier and faster after hearing that. He arched a brow,

feeling uninterested in the situation. Subsequently, he took out his laptop and wanted to continue

reviewing contracts.

"Shelvin, you’re my father's secretary! How dare you look at someone else?" Kate suddenly bellowed.

Again, she placed her hands on her hips and widened her eyes.

"This company belongs to my father, which means I’ll own it in the future. Therefore, you should inform

me whenever anything happens!”

Although Shelvin was too afraid to continue speaking to Elizabeth, he did not tell Kate what happened

either.

Silence engulfed the entire plane.

At that moment, Erin leaned closer to Darius' ear, whispering, "Mr. Reid, things on Zack's end are

successful. All involved companies will now terminate their cooperation with this airline company.

Moreover, this company has many outstanding debts, so they’ve current fallen into a state of economic

crisis."

Because everyone on the plane was silent, many overheard what Erin said.

Kate instantly turned to look in the opposite direction. Her actions were so quick that her hairpin fell off,

and her hair loosened from her bun. Even so, she could not care less.

All her attention was now on Erin as she stormed over to the latter.

"What do you mean by what you just said?"

A frown marred Erin's face. Unsure of how to respond, she glanced at Darius, seeking his advice.

Darius understood what her gaze meant and immediately stood, protecting Erin behind him while

lowering his head to glare at Kate.

Kate no longer focused on Darius. Money mattered more to her. Knowing her wealth was suffering a

major hit, she let out a skin-crawling shrill," That's enough! I just want to know what the hell happened

with the company!"

Darius raised a brow. He kept silent, placing both hands in his pockets while staring at Kate like she

was an idiot.

Despite seeing that reaction, Kate had no more energy to argue with Darius. At the same time, she

knew he would never answer her, so she took a deep breath to calm herself.

"I don't know who you guys are or why you have such influence over things," she stated, "But I can

promise you this—I'll fulfil your wish if you guys spare my father's company. All you have to do is ask."

"Perhaps you’re unaware, but I own 51 percent of this airline company's shares." Darius cocked a brow

and added, "I'm not interested in acquiring this company, nor do I care about whatever you can offer

me."

After that, he sat down, fastened his seatbelt, and reclined the back of his seat before shutting his

eyes. He continued, "I’m now in a foul mood because there have been many obstructions on my trip,

stopping me from leaving this place, even now."

Kate clenched her jaw.

Although Darius heard her action, he did not want to express his opinion anymore, so he kept his eyes

shut.

Opposite him, Kate stomped furiously, turning on her heel to thunder at the captain, who had come

over but was too afraid to speak.

She bellowed," Take off as quickly as you can. I want us to land in Almiron City within 50 minutes."

The captain's eyes broadened. He did not need to think twice to know that was impossible, so he

voiced his concern.

Miss Anderson, that's unattainable. Our regular flights take several hours.”
