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. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
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 Iqethi," 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..."
