Chapter 310 Bullets and Bad Luck
Ste twitched at the corner of her mouth.
Really?
<i>I </i>had been <i>here </i>for a long <i>time</i>, <i>and </i><i>this </i>ce had always <i>been </i>safe. How could something like this happen all of a sudden?
A thought struck her, and she turned to Abraham. “Could it be Derrick and his shady tricks?”
“Do you think he would dare make trouble here?”
“I don’t know… I just have a feeling that he might not be what you all think,” Ste said Juncertainly.
Ever since Abraham arrived at Rivermount, it was clear <i>from </i>the things Eddie had let slip that everyone thought Derrick was in terrible <i>shape</i>.
Almost as if he was walking around with nothing left.
But what I saw in Pagena was the <iplete </i>opposite.
It looked like he was in control of all of Pagena.
Eddie scoffed, “If he wanted to cause trouble because he lost you, wouldn’t he have done it in Pagena? Whye all the way to Rivermount and cause more trouble?”
Ste blinked. “!!!”
I seriously want to p this man’s mouth <i>shut</i>.
Eddie continued, “If he really wanted to grab you, why didn’t he do it sooner? He already missed his chance. Coming to Rivermount would only make things worse.”
<i>The </i>bnce of power in Rivermount was already a tangled <i>web</i><i>. </i>
<i>If </i>Derrick dared to act up here, he’d be inviting more chaos.
<i>He’d </i>barely survived the <ist </i><i>few </i><i>years </i>with Abraham hounding <i>him</i>. <i>Why </i>would <i>he </i><i>be </i>stupid enough to show up now?
Ste rolled her eyes. “Do you really think every man bes a lovesick hero for some woman?”
Eddie obviously had way too much time to fantasize.
If he wanted <i>to </i>experience a whirlwind love <i>story</i>, why not just go out with someone instead of making up wild theories?

Ste gave him a look like he was a total idiot and decided to keep quiet. There’s no point arguing with someone like that.
Eddie understood that look. Yep, Ste was definitely just mentally cursing me.
Abraham’s slender fingers tapped lightly on the table before he finally turned to Abel. “Leave.
Now.”
Eddie jumped. “What? You’re skipping clearance and air traffic control? Are you crazy or just
suicidal
The airport was a mess; chaos on the ground could easily mean chaos in the sky.
No one was coordinating flights!
Abel replied calmly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Eddic. We have an advanced on–board system.”
Eddie twitched. “I want to get off this ne.”
Victor pped him on the back of the head. “You want to go out and catch a bullet or two?”
Eddie fell silent.
Seriously, what kind of bad luck is this?
Abraham really is a maniac, trying to take <i>off </i>without permission. Is he out of his <i>mind</i>?
But <b>then </b>Eddie looked <b>at </b>Ste, who was calmly sipping her fruit tea next to him, and rxed.
Abraham might not care about our life, but he’d never risk hers.
Thinking that, Eddie finally shut up.
Abel turned to the stewardess. “Seal the cabin. Prepare for takeoff.”
“Yes.”
The attendant nodded and turned to carry out the order.
Abel also left toplete the pre–takeoff procedures. But not even a minute had passed before–
“Ah!” the attendant shrieked, stepping back with a suspicious look. “Who are you? You can’t be here! Get off now!”
“I I need help! Please! Someone’s trying to kill me!”
Tessa’s panicked voice rang out, and Ste jumped to her feet.
She turned just in time to see Tessa being pushed back by the guard at the door.

Tessa had been begging <b>for </b>a ce to hide, scared out of her mind.
When she heard Ste’s voice, her body stiffened. She turned to her mechanically.
Ste put down her oversized teacup and quickly approached her.
“What are you doing at the airport?”
Hadn’t she just said she was doing an interview at the Reed f gossiping a few minutes ago.

As soon as Tessa confirmed that it was really Ste, tears started streaming down her face.
She rushed into her arms. “Star, I swear I almost died. A bullet almost hit me. I really thought I was done for
The usually fearless Tessa waspletely shaken.
Running through a literal storm of bullets had shaken her to <b>the </b>core.
Ste patted her back gently, trying tofort her. But she really couldn’t hold herself fromughing.
What kind of luck do you have anyway? Was there some gossip so juicy you had to chase it to the airport?”
Tessa huped. “What? No, no. I just helped my mom pick up a document.”
And almost got myself killed for it.
“Ugh, why is my luck so terrible this year? Every time I go out, something crazy happens. Oh right, it’s my zodiac year.”
Ste waspletely speechless.
