Chapter 0142
Amelia was lounging on a window-side sofa, phone in hand, scrolling fervently.
Where had she seen those samples before?
Whose were they?
Unable to recall, she turned to Jessica, who had just emerged from a bath with a clay mask on. “Hey, have you seen this skincare set
before?”
Startled, Jessica nearly smeared her mask, then peered at the screen. “My goddess has a set just like it in her suitcase. My brother got it for her. He didn’t pack the full-size ones too heavy for her to carry.”
A lightbulb went off in Amelia’s head; she quickly screenshotted the post she’d seen earlier.
She sent a W******p message to Madison, but with no immediate reply, she figured the captain was probably asleep.
When she went back to check for details in the post, it had vanished.
Deleted?!
That fast?
All night long, Amelia mulled over this mystery until she finally drifted. off to sleep.
The next afternoon.
Their crew was to be at the airport by 3:30 PM for the 5:30 PM return flight.

When the flight attendants gathered, Amelia didn’t mention the incident but sought out Madison privately.
“Hey, sis-in-law.”
Madison was reviewing the flight weather, “Hmm?”
“Remember that sample set President Grant gave you? Can I see it?
I’m thinking of buying one,” Amelia made up an excuse.
Madison paused, “I don’t have it anymore. I gave it away.”
“To whom?”
“Yun Lei.”
In an instant, Amelia pieced the whole puzzle together, but still asked, “Why’d you give away a skincare set?”
Madison succinctly recounted the events.
“Okay, carry on with your work.”
Amelia walked away, arm-in-arm with Jessica, heading elsewhere.
“You have a meeting too, you know.”
“I’m not in a rush.”
Confused, Jessica tried to shake off Amelia’s clingy arm, “Don’t be so affectionate; people might think we’re together.”
“I’ve got something to tell you, and you’re gonna be just as furious as I am,” Amelia said, barely containing her anger.
Jessica frowned defensively, “That look on your face… you planning to commit a crime? Amelia, I’m telling you, despite my brother being rich and powerful, I am not above the law, so don’t even think about it!”
“Shut up,” Amelia glared at her. “There’s this little sneak playing two-

faced games with me, and I can’t take it anymore! Especially since she’s targeting my dear sister-in-law”
“Sister-in-law?!”
Jessica’s eyes widened, “Who’s messing with my goddess?”
Amelia showed her the screenshot she had saved from the previous day and quickly filled her in.
“Well then!”
Jessica was instantly livid, eyeing Yun Lei who was chatting away. with the other attendants, “That girl, showing two faces! Does she have any idea what my brother’s samples are worth?”
She then asked Amelia, “What’s your plan?”
Hand on her hip, Amelia’s expression was stern, “I’m going to plan carefully. We need to strike back, not let President Grant’s money go to waste!”
“Just you take your time, let me know when you’re ready, and I’ll back you up,” Jessica assured her.
The little sneak dared to mess with their beloved Captain Madison!
Did she not realize she was crossing two sisters with a fierce. protective streak?
During the meeting, Amelia arrived late.
Thankfully, it was an internal crew meeting, and Madison wasn’t one.
to criticize, especially not Amelia.
Jack quipped, “Chief Stewardess Amelia, are you in love?”
With a side glance, Amelia retorted, “With you?”

“I’m game,” Jack said playfully. “Our company doesn’t forbid office. romances. Besides, our chairman is with… right?”
Mentioned indirectly, Madison looked up leisurely, smiling, “You try messing around and see what happens.”
“I wouldn’t dare!” Jack straightened up. “Rest assured, Captain, I am the epitome of integrity.”
Landu rolled his eyes to the heavens.
Amelia chuckled, “Alright, let’s pay attention to the captain.”
Madison went through the usual pre-flight instructions without much deviation from routine.
Once it was time, the crew lined up, heading towards the terminal-all operations progressing smoothly.
Madison boarded the return flight, checking the cockpit-everything was in order.
On W******p.
-Ethan: My girlfriend’s heading back. Looking for a reward?
The message made her laugh, but she suppressed it in front of her colleagues.
-Madison: Anything I want?
-That kind of question makes me think too much. Watch your phrasing.
-Anything I want?
Madison repeated her query.
-Are you teasing me on purpose?

-What did I do?
-You’re letting my imagination run wild.
The co-pilots, who had finished their checks, snuck peeks at their captain’s amused expressions.
Jack speculated, “Must be chatting with our Chairman Jiang.”
Landu remarked in wonder, “Never knew our captain had such a shy side.”
“Is that shyness?”
Landu looked puzzled, “What else?”
“I thought it was sweetness.”
“Didn’t you see our captain’s ears turning red?”
Indeed, Madison felt bashful and warned Ethan over W******p.
-Stop it with this nonsense.
-How about a drink to celebrate your successful international flight when you’re back? Also, I’m planning to invest in a new property. The designs are ready; you can pick one put.
-You’re giving away another house?
Ethan sent a voice message, “The last two times didn’t work out. But this time it’s different; it’s our future wedding home.”
Somehow, the volume on Madison’s phone was on high, and Jack and Landu heard every word.
Wedding home?
Their captain and Chairman Jiang were getting married?!
With some time before takeoff, Jack zipped
off to the cabin.

Yun Le
was prepping when she overheard the attendants’ chatter,” What are you all talking about?”
The attendant smiled, “We heard our captain and Chairman Jiang are getting married. They’re picking out their wedding home.”
“Clang-”
The tray in Yun Lei’s hand dropped to the floor.
“What happened?” The attendants were startled, kneeling to help her pick up.
Barely concealing her envy, Yun Lei thanked them and asked, “It’s happening that fast?”
“Who knows? Maybe they’re just really into each other,” the attendant smiled. “Our captain’s quite the catch in the aviation world, and so beautiful too. It makes sense Chairman Jiang wants to make her his
soon.”
After they left, Yun Lei clutched the cup, her face green with jealousy.
If only she were the one marrying the Chairman of Mukino
International…
She couldn’t help but indulge in a dreamy fantasy.
