The whole debacle was merely a smokescreen, a calculated move by Air China to undermine Mukino International's recent prowess. As a result, the drama dissipated almost as quickly as it had surfaced.
Sophia's scathing exposé on F******k about Lucas’s shamelessness and his desperate, face-saving attempts to reconcile with Madison only to lash out in humiliation after rejection poured fuel on the fire. Her verbose post, several thousand words long, served as a juicy gossip fest for netizens.
Many who had initially watched the drama unfold now flocked to Madison's F******k page to offer their comfort.
- Escaping from that scum pilot was the wisest decision, Captain!
- Goddess Captain and the love-struck CEO are a match made in heaven!
- Keep your spirits up! Don’t let the lowlifes drag you down!
- Captain Madison, you are our beacon! The pride of women everywhere!
The overwhelming stream of supportive and encouraging comments buried the occasional snide remark, which was promptly scorned and deleted by Madison’s defenders.
Madison's fan base skyrocketed by hundreds of thousands overnight.
Upon realizing she was just a pawn used by Air China to smear Mukino International, Madison was incensed. Yes, genuinely angry.
It was rare for Madison to lose her temper, but this time her cool, prolonged demeanor even unnerved Ethan.
"Madison, you…"
"Didn’t I overhear Manager Xiao mentioning something about a selection for a civil aviation elite flying squad the other day?"
Ethan, caught off guard, confirmed, "Yes. It’s an initiative from higher-ups, intended for transporting critical materials in the future—a reserve unit. But I had no plans for Mukino’s pilots to join."
"Why not?"
"Because you are all too busy, and your abilities don’t need proving through this. Safely transporting passengers is also serving the country—and it's crucial."
Madison suddenly looked up, her gaze earnest and serene.
Ethan was rarely on the receiving end of such a look and became serious in response, "What’s wrong?"
"Count us in."
"Pardon?"
Madison probed, "Air China's joining, right?"
"That’s a given."
"Mukino Airlines will participate too." For the first time, Madison interjected into his work matters, "Is that okay?"
A realization dawned on Ethan.
But before he could ask, Madison stepped closer, her voice calm, "They used me to hurt you. I need to settle this score."
In that moment, Ethan felt his blood surge in reverse, his heart pounding with an unfamiliar intensity.
He leaned down to embrace Madison, "Thank you."
Madison hugged him back, "I can’t stand others bullying you."
Ethan's eyelashes fluttered before he chuckled, "Bullying me?"
"Absolutely!"
Madison let go of him, "I’m heading to the company. Remember to inform Manager Xiao about this."
President Grant, now buoyantly taking orders from his girlfriend, nodded eagerly, "I’ll send word right away."
Within half an hour, the notice for all main pilots at Mukino Airlines to participate in the civil aviation elite squad selection had been dispatched to every squadron.
Frank called for a meeting.
When Madison entered the conference room, her usually gentle smile was replaced by a formidable expression that seemed to weigh down the atmosphere.
