Chapter 47 Forcing Chloe to Open the Urn
Chloe was surprised to see Sonya here too.
“Chloe’s here to board a ne, of course,” Lena swiftly answered for Chloe. “Why? Does she need your permission to stay in the waiting hall?”
Sonya’s expression changed minutely. “Aren’t you divorcing Curtis today? Don’t tell me you changed your mind? Did you realize you can’t bear to part with Curtis after all?”
“Curtis and I are already divorced. From now on, you two are free to fool around as you please,” Chloe
said coldly.
Sonya felt relieved. Now that Curtis and Chloe were divorced, she could publicly announce her rtionship with him!
Displeasure arose in Sonya’s chest when she saw the cold expression on Chloe’s face, though.
“By the way, you should’ve received the 153 million dors by now,” Sonya suddenly said. “You have me to thank for the money. Curtis was only able to get all the cash because I pawned off a ring he bought me.”
“Thanks, my ass!” Lena cried angrily. “You think you’re so high and mighty, you little homewrecker? Why don’t youe clean about all that money you’ve leeched off of Curtis in the past two years?<b>” </b>
“Homewrecker? You better be mindful of your words!” Sonya snapped. “Do you have any evidence to support your words? I can sue you for defamation, you know!”
Chloe rose to her feet. “The documents I brought out during the press conference yesterday should be solid enough evidence, no? Say, Curtis gave you over 500 million dors‘ worth of jewelry, right? I hadn’t consented to any of it. That means I can sue you too, right? I’m sure half of that jewelry belongs to me!”
“What?” Sonya was shocked.
“So you should be thanking me instead of the other way around,” Chloe said with a sneer. “You should be grateful I never made a big deal out of the fact that Curtis gave you all that jewelry behind my back.
But now that you’ve reminded me of them, I’ll be sure to take this matter to court. Who knows, you might
need to give me back half of that jewelry!”
“You…” Sonya’s expression shifted. Meanwhile, the staff members around her began gossiping amongst themselves. After all, everyone in AeroQuest Airlines knew that Sonya had a good rtionship with Curtis,
the CEO of Green Tech.
Many <b>of </b>them had assumed Curtis and Sonya were a couple. They’d even admired her for getting such a rich and handsome boyfriend. <fn53ba> Discover more novels at FιndNovel</fn53ba>
Only now did they realize that Curtis had been married!
Wouldn’t that make Sonya a homewrecker then<b>? </b>
Chapter 47 Forcing Chloe to Open the Um
Sonya’s face turned red with embarrassment as her colleagues shot her looks of disdain.
All of <b>a </b>sudden, Sonya noticed the urn Chloe was carrying in her arms.
Her eyes glinted cruelly. She said, “What’s that in your hand? I suspect it might be a safety hazard. As captain, I demand to inspect <b>it</b>!”
Chloe was currently in the waiting zone that was designated for Sonya’s uing flight. So, Sonya purposely used her position as captain to pressure Chloe.
Chloe’s expression shifted.
“Don’t you dare cross the line, Sonya Miller!” Lena eximed angrily.
Sonya raised her chin in the air. “How am I crossing the line? I’m only doing this out of concern for the safety of all the passengers and staff here!”
She then turned to Chloe and said, “If you have nothing to hide, then let the staff do the inspection!”
Chloe clutched the urn tightly with both hands, gazing coldly at Sonya. “This urn contains my parents‘
ashes. I’ve already filled in a deration form and submitted it to the airport. There’s no need to inspect it
at all!<b>” </b>
“Ha! You think I should just take your word for it? What if it’s contraband?” Sonya snorted. “As for that
deration -I didn’t receive word of it whatsoever. So I’m ordering you to hand me that urn right now!”
Chloe’s gaze sharpened. “And what if I refuse?”
“Then I’ll confiscate the urn for further investigation on suspicion of being a safety hazard!” Sonya swiftly
alerted the airport security with her walkie–talkie.
The security guards soon came over.
“I suspect she has illegal substances in that urn of hers, so we need to confiscate it!” Sonya said to the
guards.
The guards came up to Chloe. “Please hand us the urn for security inspection. We’ll promptly return it to you if it passes the screening.”
“I’ve already filled in the formal deration form. This urn contains my parents‘ ashes and doesn’t need additional screening anymore,” Chloe replied.
“Ms. Miller insists <i>on </i>a security inspection, so we have to cooperate with her. If you refuse, we’ll have no choice but to detain <i>you </i>by force!” The guard said.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
Just then, someone came up and said, “Why don’t you let them inspect the urn, Chloe?”
Chloe looked at the person in shock.
Chapter 47 Forcing Chloe to Open the Urn
What was Curtis doing here?
Sonya went over to Curtis, asking, “What are you doing here?”
Curtis pursed his lips, not daring to say that he’d actually followed Chloe’s vehicle here. When he saw Chloe carrying the urn into the airport, he guessed that she was going to take it back to her parents‘ hometown for burial. Hence, he’d snuck in to see them off.
“You’re not here to see me off because you know I’m flying today, are you?” Sonya asked.
“Yes, I am,” Curtis said awkwardly. He then turned to Chloe and said, “Sonya just wants to inspect the urn
because of security concerns.”
“Inspect the urn?” Chloe snapped. “Can’t my parents rest in peace, Curtis Green?”
“No… I just thought that if there’s no issue…”
“I’ve alreadypleted the deration procedure!” Chloe cut him off.
“If Sonya didn’t receive the notification, then it’s on her for herck of due diligence! Instead of making sure she does her job right, you’re trying to have me give her my parents‘ ashes for inspection? Don’t you
find this ridiculous, Curtis?”
Curtis‘ breath caught in his throat. Chloe’s gaze was so cold and piercing that he didn’t dare to look her in
the eye.
Sonya turned to the guards and urged them on, feeling irritated. “Why aren’t you guys taking the urn away from her? Who’s going to take responsibility if it actually contains something dangerous, like a bomb?”
The security guards immediately jumped into action upon hearing that. They swiftly zeroed in on Chloe.
Lena wanted to help Chloe but was held back by one of the security guards.
Chloe held the urn close to her chest.
When the military had let her decide how to deliver the urn back home, she’d chosen to bring it back to Yarfdale herself so she could bury it at the national military cemetery. Chloe had then applied to
AeroQuest for the urn to be brought onto the flight, including the reasons why.
She hadn’t expected she would encounter such an obstacle on the way.
“I dare <i>you </i>to take this urn from me!” Chloe barked, ring at the security guards around her.
She had a lethal presence right then, the kind that was only forged through countless battlefields.
Fear crept into the security guards as they circled around her. They found themselves afraid of taking
action.
“Hurry up!” Sonya cried.
In the end, the security guards had no choice but to lunge forth.
Chapter 47 Forcing Chloe to Open the Urn
Chloe immediately kicked one of the guards who approached her, the urn still tight against her chest. The guard was instantly flung backward.
One, two, three…
One by one, the security guards fell. Meanwhile, Chloe never once backed down even when she was struck. In fact, her presence just grew more menacing.
She was a fierce force of nature as she fought to protect what mattered to her most.
“Why are all of you so useless?” Sonya cried angrily. “There are so many of you, while it’s just her alone! Hurry up and take the urn from her!”
“Stop it! Those ashes belong to war heroes!” Lena yelled. “Are you out of your mind, Sonya Miller?”
“Ha! Please. Is that the best lie you cane up with?” Sonya sneered.
“Sonya!” Chloe suddenly turned her cold, steely gaze on Sonya. Her re pierced through Sonya like
countless sharp arrows.
Chloe then lunged toward Sonya.
Sonya paled with fright and screamed at the guards, “S–Stop her!”
But no one dared get in Chloe’s way at all! Who in their right mind would do that, especially if the urn she was carrying really had war heroes‘ ashes?
Just like that, Chloe ran over to Sonya before kicking her down. Chloe then stepped right on Sonya’s chest.
If Chloe used force, several of Sonya’s ribs would break.
“How dare you do this to me, Chloe Quall? This is the airport!” Sonya screamed angrily.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? You started it,” Chloe quipped.
“Sonya was just concerned about airport security, Chloe. How could you…” Curtis began saying.
But before he could finish, Chloe kicked him in the chest. He flew backward andnded heavily on some
benches.
Curtis then stared at Chloe in utter shock.
“You have no right to say those things to me, Curtis Green!” Chloe said coldly.
She then looked down at Sonya, who was still struggling beneath her. “My parents sacrificed themselves for this country. You are not allowed to insult them!”
“I–I’ll have your flight cancelled right now!” Sonya screeched back.
“Then I’ll make sure you never board a single ne today!” Chloe eximed. She raised her foot, aiming right for Sonya’s ribs.

Just then, the sound of synchronized footsteps rang <i>out </i>in the waiting hall.
“What is the meaning of this?” A loud,manding voice rang out.
Shocked, Chloe turned to see who it was.
Rows of green military personnel uniforms filled her vision.
