Chapter 175 I Am Going Too
“Whether I can fly or not, that’s my concern, not yours,” Quinn answered flatly.
“Quinn, I’ve been waiting for you,” Moldred said as he walked up.
“Uncle Moldred, I can pilot the helicopter and head to the island for the rescue any time,” Quinn told him.
“Good. Come with me. The helicopter’s on the rooftop helipad,” he said.
The security team that had blocked her path earlier didn’t dare stop her now.
“Uncle Moldred, you’re really letting her take the helicopter for the rescue mission?” Marley asked in disbelief.
“Who else would I trust with it? Sidonie?” Moldred glanced her way. He’d clearly overheard her trying to ransom an apology for lives, and he wasn’t impressed.
Marley had no comeback.
Quinn and Julius followed Moldred into the elevator.
Marley turned to Sidonie. “Since Quinn’s going on the rescue mission, you-”
“Hmph. You think she’ll actually pull it off? She probably won’t even make it to the island,” Sidonie said, striding toward the elevator. “I want to be there when she falls flat on her face!”
“Exactly! They’ll come crawling back to you,” Marley said, rushing after her.
Trent trailed behind, quiet.
Inside the elevator, Sidonie looked over. “Trent, why are you so quiet? Quinn’s just setting herself up for humiliation. Just wait. I’d like to see how she saves herself from this.”
Trent stayed silent.
Humiliation? Honestly, the ones getting humiliated might end up being us. I’ve seen Quinn fly before. Her skills are on another level compared to Sidonie’s.
Soon, they reached the rooftop. Quinn was about to climb into the helicopter when Julius grabbed her arm. “I can find another pilot. It doesn’t have to be you,” he said, terrified she’d get hurt.
“There’s no time. The sooner I get there, the better the odds of rescuing them,” Quinn replied.
“Then I’m going with you,” he said firmly.
“You’re not trained for rescue missions. You’d only slow me down,” Quinn said. “Trust me, I’ll be fine.”
Impossible! Quinn was bluffing. I’m supposed to be the one exposing her. So why does it feel like I’m the one getting slapped in the face? If Quinn brings those employees back safely, all eyes will be on her, and I’ll be completely overshadowed. Absolutely not. I won’t let that happen!
