Nathalie Quinlan looked up at him with gentle outlines, seeming not so repelled anymore, as if she had gradually gotten accustod to his way of interacting and didn’t treat him as an outsider. She shook her head and said, "No need, there are plenty of flights from McKinney to Beijing. I can buy one myself."
As she spoke, she paused for a mont, then added, "He might have already bought the airplane tickets for . I’ll see when the ti cos."
To help soone buy airplane tickets, one needs to know that person’s na and ID information. Amadeus Yancey didn’t know how closely that ’friend’ of hers was related to her—even knowing her ID number seed quite dangerous. His eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t say anything; he just spoke in a warm voice, "If you need help, just let know. Alfred Garland is experienced in booking flights; he can even get tickets for flights that are sold out."
Nathalie Quinlan rembered the last ti she and Justin Wafford flew back from Beijing. It was the situation he had just ntioned—there were no more airplane tickets available, yet he managed to upgrade her economy class ticket to first class. She only found out about his private arrangent for the upgrade when she received her ticket.
Warming at the thought, Nathalie Quinlan didn’t stand on ceremony but nodded naturally, "OK, I’ll let you know if not."
Amadeus Yancey watched as she let her guard down around him, his thin lips curling up slightly, and he didn’t say anything more.
The car quietly headed towards the villa.

At this mont, the atmosphere in the Quinlan family was unbearably heavy.
Ivy Wilmar sat on the sofa with a long face, not uttering a word.
With her silent, neither Jeff Quinlan nor Emilia Sullivan dared to speak. After all, Ghania had stirred up a real ss out of her own selfish desires. Putting everything else aside, she had caused Ivy Wilmar’s younger brother to land in the social news. In this affair, their family was undoubtedly in the wrong, not to ntion that Ghania would still need to develop her future in Beijing, where she would rely on Ivy Wilmar for support.
Emilia Sullivan usually acted superior in front of Ivy Wilmar, relying on her status as the eldest sister-in-law, often speaking impulsively without thinking. Now, she didn’t dare to open her mouth either.
It was Myles Sullivan who broke the silence first, loosening his collar and speaking to the woman brooding on the sofa, "Alright, what’s done is done. Being angry here won’t help. As for that person from the Yancey family not giving us face, we can’t go to Mr. Yancey to beg for favors anymore. We just have to accept it."
He cavalierly said the words "just have to accept it," but inside Ivy Wilmar felt an imnse frustration, her rage simring without an outlet.
If an outsider had caused this trouble and burdened her younger brother, she would never have let it go so easily.
Yet Ghania was Myles Sullivan’s own niece, making it difficult for Ivy to relentlessly hold her accountable!
But her younger brother was already miserable enough, originally detained in juvenile detention. Thanks to Ghania’s actions, not only was he now set to be locked up for three years, but he would also be featured on TV news.
In their circle, with Jecksen Wilmar appearing on TV, how could he lift his head in their social circle again?!
She wished she could strangle Ghania, give her a couple of slaps in the face.
Ivy Wilmar was panting heavily, her complexion extrely unsightly.
"Don’t be angry anymore, at least that person from the Yancey family only said to let Simon Cadwell go through the proper legal process, he didn’t say to add more years to Jecksen’s sentence."
Understanding what was going on in her heart after so many years of marriage, Myles Sullivan himself was nearly sick with anger due to Ghania’s behind-the-scenes scheming, just like he said. But as things had happened, there was no turning back, and they had to try to let it go.
"He’s still considering the face of both families. As for the news, don’t think too much about it. Ordinary people don’t follow this kind of social news. I’ll get soone to suppress the online news articles, try to minimize their presence, and not many people will know about Jecksen going in."
