Chapter 195
Queena booked an economy–class ticket to avoid being noticed. The economy seats were cramped, and the passengers were a diverse mix. Cynthia’s elegance was striking. far surpassing that of the flight attendants, instantly drawing everyone’s attention, Frowning, she stood next to Queena, gently patted her on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone, “Come with me.” Querna felt a bit scared by Cynthia’s stern voice. She lowered her head, unbuckled her seatbelt, and nervously followed. Normally, passengers from economy class aren’t allowed in first class, but the crew had been informed before Liams and Cynthia hoarded not to neglect them. So, they turned a blind eye.
The first–class seats were spacious. Cynthia extended her seat so she and Queena could sit together. It was much quieter now. Cynthia stared at Queena and asked coldly. “Explain yourself. Why are you on this plane!”
“Cynthia, are you mad at me? Queena asked.
“Do you think I’m happy to see you right now!” Cynthia retorted.
Queena lowered her head. She put her hands on her lap and twisted her fingers anxiously. “I’m sorry. I just didn’t want to stay under Vincent’s watchful eye, but I didn’t know where to go. So, I decided to follow you, I grew up with Vincent, and he’s always been strict with me, making me do everything his way. I know he cares about me, but I’m grown up now. I want to make my own decisions about my life”
A few days ago, after they left Regalian Garden, they had a huge fight at home. Vincent was strongly against her entering the entertainment industry and even said he would disown her if she did. He immediately cut off her credit cards and locked her in her room for a day. Queena pounded the wall in frustration, feeling a growing sense of rebellion in her heart. However, having always obeyed Vincent throughout her life, this was her first time wanting to resist but not knowing how. In her frustration, she remembered Cynthia’s plan to go to the border and impulsively decided to follow Cynthia Queena gently tugged on Cynthia’s sleeve and pleaded softly, “Cynthia, please let me stay with you. I promise IT be good and stick by your side without causing any trouble”
Cynthia knew about the conflict between Queena and Vincent and understood that this girl had no one else to confide in, which made her clingy. With a sigh, she said. “You’re already on the plane. How could I be so heartless as to turn you away now!”
Hearing this, Queena excitedly hugged Cynthia. “Yeah! Thank you. Cynthia
Suddenly, a cold male voice came from nearby. “Speak your mind, but don’t hold her so intimately It made Queena shiver involuntarily. She stuck out her tongue and released Cynthia. Cynthia then told Queena about Vincent’s call earlier and added, “Next time, you can’t make everyone worry like this”
“Okay, Queena replied.
The two girls continued chatting. Meanwhile, a flight attendant approached and reminded them, “Miss, there will be turbulence during the flight. Please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt Queena pouted and was reluctant to go back as she thought about the cramped economy class where she couldn’t even straighten her legs. Cynthia noticed the half–empty first class and asked, “Can she be upgraded now?”
“Yes” Before the flight attendant could finish, Liam interrupted firmly, “No, she has in go back. Knowing Liam’s status, the flight attendant didn’t argue and formed a smile, her expression stiffening Queena glanced at Liam in surprise but didn’t dare to argue with him. Instead, she turned and looked pitifully at Cynthia. Cynthia, feeling sorry for Queena, wanted to speak up for Queena. Before she could, Liam firmly commanded, “Please return to your seat. The flight attendant was also astute enough to know whose authority to respect at such times, gesturing for Queens to leave. Queena cold sense Liam’s hostility, glared at him angrily, and finally managed to say, “Did I offend you?”
Without looking up from his laptop. Liam replied casually, “No, I’m just helping Vincent teach you a lesson.”
Fuming. Queena returned to economy class. Cynthia watched her with sympathy before turning to Liam. “Why were you so harsh on her?” Liam finally looked up from his laptop and met Cynthia’s gaze. “That was mild. If she were my sister, I’d have broken her legs”
Cynthia pretended to shrink back in fear and said, “You’re so mean.” Seeing her reaction, Liam felt a mischievous urge. Leaning closer so that only the two of them could hear, he whispered, “Don’t worry. If it were you, I’d just keep you in bed for three days”
Cynthia glanced shyly at the flight attendant beside them and promptly pushed Liam back into his seat, “Can you be serious for once?”
Liam smirked and looked back at his laptop. After calming down, Cynthia thought about Queena and decided to ask, “Aren’t you and Vincent friends? How does he really treat his sister?”
“He treats her like a daughter. He can be overprotective, but it’s for her own good. Do you know why Vincent is so against Queena entering the entertainment industry? Liam closed his laptop and spoke with a serious tone. Cynthia shook her head. Lians continued, “Their mother was a famous actress who married into the Yearwood family and had Vincent and Queena. When Vincent was ten, their mother passed away due to depression, partly because of something that caused a scandal online, which even affected the Yearwood family. A year later, their father also died, leaving the company without a leader. At that time, Vincent and Queena were still young, and the other branches of the Yearwood family fought for control of the company using all sorts of tactics. I can’t imagine how Vincent managed to survive with Queena, who was only five at the time. He raised her like both a father and a brother, so naturally, he’s very protective.”
Cynthia was surprised to learn about their difficult upbringing Vincent seemed like a dedicated brother. For Queena to have such a pure nature, he must have sacrificed a lot. But seeing Queena now, it was clear the wouldn’t easily give up her dreams. So, Vincent and Queens would need to work through this together. Liam chuckled at Cynthia’s conflicted expression and pulled down her eye mask. “Don’t overthink it. They’ll figure it out themselves. Just get some rest. Realizing they still had two hours left, Cynthia reclined her seat and obediently closed her eyes to sleep. She had
