Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Ashley Sinclair
Zoe Hayes didn’t want to fight with these two people just now, but now she suspects they might be sent by Ashley Shaw, so of course, she won’t give up her seat so easily.
She blurted out, "I’m not giving up the seat, what can you do..."
The next second, the buzz-cut man directly sat down on her lap.
"Ah!!!"
Zoe Hayes screamed, pushed the man away, and stood up from her seat like a spring.
"Call the police! I want to call the police!"
Other nearby passengers began to speak up: "It’s just a small matter, why call the police?"
"Exactly! Didn’t you just grab someone else’s seat yourself? What right do you have to call the police? If you really want to call the police, then let’s consider the earlier situation too."
"Call the police? Won’t calling the police delay everyone on this plane? I have a very important meeting to attend. If my time is delayed, who will be responsible?"
"I am also in a hurry, if you want to waste your time, get off the plane and argue with them yourself, don’t waste my time."
For a moment, Zoe Hayes was criticized by everyone.
Her lips turned pale, not understanding why when Ashley Shaw causes trouble, there are people supporting Ashley Shaw.
But when it’s her turn, everyone accuses her.
She picked up her phone to call the police, only to hear the flight attendant say, "Miss, you can call the police if you want, but you will have to bear the cost of the flight delay alone."
Zoe Hayes’s fingers paused, and the dial button was not pressed for a long time.
Her father had already suffered because of her, getting on the bad side of a superior. Now, with so many people on this plane, and not knowing who important may be in first class, if she causes trouble again, who knows how it might implicate her family.
She’s not particularly concerned about what might happen to her family; she’s just afraid of losing her status as a second-generation official.
This internal conflict lasted only a second or two in reality.
She calmed herself and said, "I’m not calling the police, I want to upgrade my seat! Process my upgrade immediately, I will pay for the upgrade fee."
The flight attendant smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, ma’am, first class is fully booked."
"You——"
The bald man and the buzz-cut man were already very impatient.
"Are you giving up the seat or not?"
Zoe Hayes bit her lip hard, wanting to cry inside.
But her pride wouldn’t allow her to shed tears.
"Isn’t it just a seat? I’ll give it to you!"
She stood up, grabbed her bag, and walked to an empty seat at the back.
But at this moment, those two men suddenly said, "Shit, we forgot we bought first-class tickets for this flight. Let’s go back to first class!"
With that, the two men swaggered towards first class.
Zoe Hayes stood rooted to the spot, feeling like everyone’s gaze was mocking, trembling with rage.
They did it on purpose!
They must have been sent by Ashley Shaw!
Damn Ashley Shaw, she will never let her off!
She heard she also got into Aethelgard University. She doesn’t believe there won’t be a chance to take her down!
Zoe Hayes angrily returned to her original seat, but this seat, which she fought so hard to secure, was now "tasteless."
Not only did she not have any sense of victory, but she also felt incredibly angry.
Meanwhile, after returning to first class, the two men whispered something in the agent’s ear.
The agent responded with a "hmm," instructed, "You’ve shown your face, you two don’t need to follow Owen Sinclair today. After the plane lands, go back to the original place to rest, and have two others come over to protect Owen’s safety. You two take a break, and wait for the company to arrange things later."
"Yes."
The agent was very thorough in his planning.
After finishing the instructions, he bent over to report to Owen Sinclair.
Owen Sinclair’s face remained expressionless, and after saying "okay," he continued chatting with Ashley Shaw and the others.
"Which hotel are you planning to stay at?"
"The one next to the school."
"Is it Aethelgard Medical University?"
Ashley Shaw nodded, "Yes."
"My announcement place is not far from there, we can go out for a meal together tomorrow."
Ashley Shaw said, "Then tomorrow you have to let us pay, or else we will feel guilty for sitting in first class."
Ariana Grant also said, "Yes, yes, tomorrow we must pay. We can’t just sit in first class for free."
Owen Sinclair laughed, "That’s great, I get another free meal."
Just then, the plane began to taxi.
Two hours later, the plane landed in Aethelgard.
In her previous life, after getting married, Ashley Shaw had lived in Aethelgard since the headquarters of the Prescott Group moved there, so compared to Westcroft, she was actually more familiar with Aethelgard in this life.
Watching the wide open view outside, she was inexplicably overwhelmed with emotions, feeling an urge to cry.
"I’m back." She mouthed silently to the outside.
After the plane came to a complete stop, Owen Sinclair stood up and said, "Let’s go, my car is here to pick me up, and I’ll take you to your hotel along the way."
"Wouldn’t that be too much of a hassle for you?"
Owen Sinclair couldn’t wait for Ashley Shaw to trouble him every day, all the time.
His announcement wasn’t until the day after tomorrow. It was because Shane Coleman told him yesterday that Ashley Shaw would be on this flight that he came to Aethelgard early.
He was even beginning to contemplate not letting Ashley Shaw change her name back to "Ashley Sinclair" once she was back with him.
He had already had her fortune told and found she lacked "water" in the five elements, and his surname "Shen" contained three water radicals, which would compensate for that.
But he couldn’t tell her this now.
At least, not until there were some feelings between Ashley Shaw and himself, until they were familiar enough, then he could reveal the truth.
Suppressing the surge within, eager to acknowledge Ashley Shaw immediately, he calmly added, "Don’t refuse me, Shane Coleman will probably pester me to death if he knows I have a car but don’t take you both."
Ashley Shaw initially didn’t want to trouble Owen Sinclair, but when she heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
"Alright, then we will trouble you."
"Friends don’t talk about trouble, don’t see me like this; I actually have very few friends. And maybe because I’m getting old and lifeless, I like hanging out with young folks, it makes me feel younger."
"Don’t say that, when we walk outside together, others might think we’re siblings."
Owen Sinclair’s expression froze slightly.
Sibling? That’s not good.
Looks like he needs to dress more old-fashioned in the future, so people will think they’re father and daughter.
His demeanor quickly returned to normal: "Stop teasing me, let’s go, my assistant will help with your luggage."
"Great."
The two agreed, taking only their small carry-ons, and followed Owen Sinclair down the plane, boarding the shuttle.
In the economy class, Zoe Hayes was still considering confronting Ashley Shaw after landing.
But she forgot she was in economy class today.
Once the plane landed, first class disembarked first. By the time she grabbed her bag and followed the crowd out, the economy passengers had already reached the terminal.
Ashley Shaw knew none of this; she was already in Owen Sinclair’s car.
Her phone finally powered up at this moment, several messages popped up, ding-donging nonstop.
The latest one was from Warren Prescott.
