Curtis tried <b>to </b>reassure himself. Chloe had drafted the drone proposal before leaving thepany, which
meant it belonged to thepany. The patent she had worked on during <b>their </b>marriage also counted as shared property.
He hadn’t done anything wrong. Everything he did was for thepany.
Before long, the groundbreaking ceremony began.
Government officials, along with the families and corporations tied to the ind’s development project<b>, </b>were all present.
Brian stood out in the crowd, and with Chloe at his side, she naturally drew plenty of attention.
Willow red at Chloe. Her original n had been to use Curtis to disgrace Chloe, exposing her as
nothing more than a woman abandoned by her man.
But instead, it was Curtis and Sonya who ended up humiliated, while Chloe walked away unscathed and even better in the public’s eyes. Now, many people knew that Brian was willing to stand firmly as her powerful backer.
“Willow, Brian isn’t someone you can control,” Wade said quietly from her side.
Unhappy, Willow snapped back, “That’s not what you used to tell me. Didn’t you once say that if I could
win Brian over, it would be a huge advantage for the Qualls?”
“At the time, Chloe hadn’t entered the picture, and you and Brian did stand a chance,” Wade replied.
“Back then, even though Brian wasn’t particrly interested in women, he still supported the Quall family
in business out of guilt toward you.”
Willow had once been the woman closest to him. He had always believed Brian was simply indifferent
toward women.
But what he witnessed at the beach today shook him. He never imagined that Brian, who seemed almost inhumanly detached from everything, would step in for Chloe’s sake.
Brian’s feelings for Chloe were undeniably different.
With his years of experience, he understood that when a man was willing to go that far for a woman, it
meant he had fallen for her.
“So, you’ve decided Chloe is the better choice for the family, and that means you no longer need me, is that it?” Willow sneered. “Don’t forget, Uncle Wade, the Quall family owes its sess to me. I’m the one who paid the price. I gave up an eye for it!”
Wade sighed. “I’m only saying this for your own good.”
“For my own good? Funny, considering how worried you seem about Chloe,” Willow snapped back. “<b>Don’t </b>

<b>ce </b>your bet on the <b>wrong </b>horse<b>, </b>Uncle Wade. Do <b>you </b><b>really </b>think Chloe has a chance with Brian<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Wade’s frown deepened. He had only spoken up out of respect for the help Willow had given the family <b>over </b>the years. Since she wasn’t the least bit grateful, there was no point <b>in </b>continuing.
After all, Willow never stopped reminding everyone of the sacrifices she made <b>for </b>the Qualls, yet she never acknowledged the truth.
If not for that incident, how could an illegitimate daughter like her have even stepped foot <b>into </b>the family,
let alone taken a senior role at Quall Group?
Only the most capable members of the Quall family were entrusted with key positions in the
with Brian.
As the groundbreaking ceremony drew to a close, a sudden wave of cheers rippled through the crowd. Journalists rushed to raise their cameras and video recorders, snapping photos and filming nonstop.
Following themotion, Chloe noticed five figures in pilot uniforms striding toward a row of nes parked on the field.
They were Zivko Edge 541s, nes used for flight demonstrations andpetitions.
Among the five pilots was none other than Sonya.
Sonya walked confidently toward her aircraft. She was the only female pilot among the five.
Noticing the shower of camera shes, a triumphant smile curved across her lips.
After her suspension, she desperately needed positive publicity to salvage her image. Today’s flight demonstration at the ind’s groundbreaking ceremony doubled as a charity event. Children from a local orphanage had been invited to watch, and a fundraiser would follow.
She nned to donate generously afterward, a gesture that would naturally help rebuild her reputation. Once her public image was restored, she could leverage her connections at AeroQuest Airlines to reim
her position.
Remaining a captain was out of the question. She had worked too hard and wanted far more than that.
Out of the corner of her eye, Sonya spotted Chloe, and a smirk tugged at her lips.
Chloe had blindsided herst time, leaving her humiliated. But today, she would erase that embarrassment and prove just how vast the gap between them truly was.
Sonya and the other four pilots boarded their nes, with her aircraft unmistakably taking the lead.
The formation dazzled the crowd below as the nes executed a series of aerobatic maneuvers <b>across </b>the sky.
Noticing Chloe and Brian, Willow’s eyes lit up. She made her way over to them. “Brian, what do you <b>think </b>of the performance? The lead pilot is my cousin, Sonya. She’s actually the first female <b>captain </b>at

AeroQuest Airlines.<b>” </b>
Brian regarded Willow with a faint<b>, </b>knowing smile.

She felt as though he could see right through her but pushed ahead anyway. “I’m guessing Mr. Green wanted to leave Chloe for Sonya. After all, Chloe can’t do anything for his career. She has no real skills, <fn98aa> Read full story at Find[F]ovel</fn98aa>
just brute strength.”
To Willow, a retired soldier was little more than someone with above–average fighting ability, and <b>wealthy </b>people could always hire bodyguards for that.
“It seems you’ve got too much time on your hands, spouting such pointless nonsense,” Brian said coolly.
“I’m not lying! Can Chloe even fly a ne? What skills does she even have?” Willow shot back.
“Can you fly a ne?” Chloe asked evenly.
“I can’t, but I hold an important position at Quall Group. Thepany wouldn’t be thriving without me. I’m far more capable than you, Chloe,” Willow said smugly.
“You’re only where you are because you’re clinging to the Steele family’s coattails,” Chloe said bluntly.
“You!” Willow’s confident expression cracked. She couldn’t believe Chloe had dared to say that right in front of Brian.
“Those favors others give you can be taken back at any moment. Don’t mistake their kindness for your own ability,” Chloe said casually.
Willow’s face twisted with rage as she raised her hand. “Chloe, how dare you speak to me like that!”
Before the p couldnd, Brian caught her wrist. His voice was cold as he warned, “Do you want to lose that hand?<b>” </b>
