Chapter 4

The air in the galley seemed to freeze.

The purser's lips trembled, tears of humiliation welling in her eyes.

Rachel and several other flight attendants turned pale, exchanging glances, their eyes full of struggle.

Seeing their hesitation, Eve laughed coldly: "Fine, you won't kneel? You're that stubborn? Just wait!"

Immediately after, the video screen began shaking violently.

Eve actually picked up her phone and directly barged into the airline general manager's exclusive conference room!

When the video stabilized, the conference room came into full view—

Around the long conference table sat company executives with serious expressions, with the second half of the year's strategic planning PPT displayed on the projection screen.

Carter was sitting at the head position listening to reports.

Seeing Eve suddenly burst in, he first showed slight surprise, but his eyes held no displeasure at being interrupted. Instead, they instantly filled with deep concern.

"Carter~" Eve ignored the shocked gazes of all the executives in the room and walked straight to Carter's side, practically collapsing against his chair's armrest.

"Look at these flight attendants on the plane. They're ganging up to bully my brother. My brother just made a small request, and they were mean to him and even scolded him. My brother has a bad heart—they've made him cry! Carter, you must stand up for us!"

As she spoke, she leaned into Carter like a boneless creature.

Tears fell like broken pearls, as if she'd suffered the greatest injustice.

She was completely different from the sharp-tongued person she'd been moments ago.

Carter's face immediately darkened.

He didn't even ask about right or wrong—all his attention was on Eve trembling and crying in his arms.

"There, there, don't cry. Your eyes will swell up and won't look pretty. Such a small matter—is it worth crying over? Hmm? With me here, no one can bully you or your family."

He gently wiped away her tears, then raised his head to look at the phone screen, his tone dropping to freezing: "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what Eve said?"

"I'm ordering you now—immediately do as Mr. Jason requests! Kneel and apologize!"

"If within three seconds I don't see your attitude..."

Before he could finish, I walked directly into the center of the phone camera.

My figure, along with my calm expression, appeared clearly in the video.

"Carter, are you sure you want me to kneel?"

"Helen Jones?"

Carter almost blurted it out.

Like a thunderclap, it seemed to give the desperate flight attendants a glimmer of hope.

But it was fleeting.

The surprise on Carter's face was quickly replaced by deeper displeasure and irritation.

He didn't even let go of his arm around Eve, just impatiently rubbed his brow with his other hand:

"Helen, what are you doing here?"

"The new job you told me about last night—was it to be a probationary flight attendant at my airline?"

I nodded calmly.

Carter's gaze swept over my wet uniform, his voice dropping: "Stop fooling around. Just do what Mr. Jason says and apologize. We'll talk about whatever it is after the plane lands."

As soon as he said this.

Not just me—even the flight attendants in the galley were stunned.

Their eyes went from shock back to despair, finally left with only numbness.

Seeing this, Eve immediately shrank further into Carter's arms, adding fuel to the fire: "Carter, so this is Helen~ She was so fierce just now. Jason must have been scared by her!"

Carter immediately patted her back comfortingly. "Eve and Jason are both very innocent and simple-minded. They just want an apology."

"Be good. Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Jason first. Don't make this difficult for me."
