Chapter 24

“I'm so miserable. As my mother-in-law, she should have taken care of

me when I'm pregnant. But she didn't. Instead, she had a happy life in

the countryside and even didn't come to visit me when Lois was born.

And now, she is old. I have to look after her. It's my duty, so I never

complain about it, but she even dares to steal money from me!"

Skyla said and sobbed. Seeing this, Otto rushed over to hug her. "Just

calm down, I have taught her a lesson. She's old, so don't sink yourself

into her level. When you were pregnant, she had to take care of Sibbie

in the countryside. She was not available to help you."

“Lois and Tammy are also her grandchildren, but she has a preference

for Sylvia." Skyla kept crying, but she was happy inside. She finally

drove Kira to live in the utility room. She even hoped Kira could catch a

heatstroke and die.

For Skyla, Kira was just an eyesore.

Kira got upstairs. The villa had three floors. On the first floor were the

maids’ rooms, and on the second floor were the bedrooms for Tammy,

Lois, Otto, and Skyla.

On the third floor, there was a study for Otto, a piano room for Tammy,

and a toy room for Lois.

On the top of the third floor was a small duplex attic, which was used as

the utility room.

The utility room was in a mess. Una carried Kira's quilt over and

opened the small folding bed for Kira.

She carefully laid out the quilt.

After that, Una sat down and said, "Mrs. Andrews, if Miss Sylvia can

afford it, you'd better ask her to pick you up from here. You can't live in

this utility room."

"Sibbie is just a doctor. She can't afford to buy a flat or a house. I do not

want to be her burden. She grew up without a mother and had a hard

time in the countryside with me. I'm old, so I don't expect anything from

her.” Kira wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, regretting losing

the money.

It must have taken Sylvia a long time to save so much money.

However, it was all taken by Skyla. Kira did regret it.

Thinking of this, Kira got more upset, with tears trickling down her

cheeks.

Una squatted down and began to clean up, saying, "I think Miss Sylvia

is much more capable than you think, so you might as well tell Miss

Sylvia about it."

Kira did have a hard time in Andrews Residence. Una wanted to tell

Sylvia that Kira had no cold and no drip. Otto took a needle and poked

it into the back of Kira's hand so that it looked as if Kira had had a drip.

Both Otto and Skyla treated Kira badly, and now they even falsely

accused her of stealing money. Kira was in a horrible position.

It was so hot in the utility room that Una was sweating a lot.

Kira would definitely be ill after living here!

“It doesn't matter.” Still dizzy, Kira lay back on the bed and stared at the

low ceiling.

Kira always felt sorry for what happened to Sylvia's mother, thinking

Otto owed a lot to Sylvia and her mother.

Therefore, Kira was unwilling to cause any trouble for Sylvia, who had

finally got rid of the Andrews family.

SouthStar Airlines’ building looked as grand as usual.

Franklin was having a pre-flight meeting in the conference room.

Almost everyone could sense the rage inside him.

Franklin's face was even colder than usual.

He said in a cold voice, "Let's close the meeting now. And everyone

gets ready for takeoff."

Franklin got up. In the captain's uniform, he looked sexy and attractive.

With a tall and upright body, he made everyone feel pressured.

Franklin, holding the captain's cap, walked out of the conference room.

Behind him was the co-pilot and Elsa, who was the chief purser.

They were followed by the stewardesses.

This team was quite distinguished.

A stewardess whispered in Darcie's ear, "Darcie, I find Captain Franklin

is in a bad mood today."

"But I think he looks more handsome this way." Darcie smiled sweetly

and gazed at Franklin's back with great admiration.

It was said that a man in a bad mood might have quarreled with his

wife. Thinking of this, Darcie was in a great mood.

After all the routine examinations, Franklin was to start the plane.

He remembered the last time when Sylvia took a flight with him. They

hadn't divorced then. And she only did that once during their four-year

marriage. "Captain Franklin, everything is all right,” The co-pilot said as

he sat down in his seat.

Franklin recovered from his memory and nodded.

Before the plane took off, Franklin examined the passenger list as

usual.

When he saw Sylvia on the list, he raised an eyebrow. After staring at

this name for a while, he gave the list to Elsa and narrowed his eyes.

"Keep an eye on the passenger called Sylvia Andrews and people who

sit around her."

Elsa was a little confused. She couldn't figure out what Franklin meant.

However, when Elsa walked out and saw Sylvia, it dawned on her. Elsa

realized it was Jasper's girlfriend.

Sylvia was wearing a creamy purple dress, which made her fair skin

and delicate face more attractive.

When she leaned against the window, it was a beautiful sight to the

others.

SouthStar Airlines had numerous stewardesses, all of whom have

beautiful faces.

Elsa was also considered a beauty, but she found she was very inferior

to Sylvia.

The plane was steady.

The clouds in the sky were permeated with the sunglow.

A few minutes later, Elsa walked in. "Miss Andrews slept for a while, but

she is woken up, because a man in the next row accidentally dropped

his headphones on her seat. She picked them up and returned them to

the man."

Franklin frowned.

He thought that man did it on purpose!

"When the man took his charger out of his briefcase, it fell onto Miss

Andrews’ seat as well, so Miss Andrews helped him pick it up."

A few minutes later...

Seeing Elsa come in again, Franklin grunted. "What did that man do

this time?"

"He didn't drop anything, but he offered to help Miss Andrews put her

suitcase in the overhead compartment.”

"His name is Jimmy Marshall. He comes from Igethi,” Franklin said in a

cold voice.

He narrowed his eyebrows, and his eyes were colder than ever.

The co-pilot felt as if the temperature in the cockpit had dropped.

It made him so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

"Captain Franklin, you have an amazing memory. It's not easy to

remember all the passengers’ names and where they sit!" Elsa froze for

a moment. "But Miss Andrews didn't accept Jimmy's help. She..."
