Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2637

Shirley grabbed her phone and headed toward the cabin. Richard was fiddling with a machine when he suddenly saw his precious daughter coming in. He looked up and asked, “Why are you here?” She handed him the phone with a firm resolve. “Dad, please instruct your men to turn around. I need to go back to Averna.” Richard looked at the phone she handed him. He didn’t even need to guess to know that his daughter was aware of his communication with Zacharias.

“Don’t be unreasonable.” He took the phone and said, “Go back to your seat.” “What if I parachute off the plane then?” She looked at her father and only became even more determined. He was immediately startled. So, he quickly grabbed her. “Don’t act rashly at this altitude!” “Tell me what mission Zacharias is undertaking then. Why did he send me away? Is it perilous?” Shirley sat across from her father. Although she was overwhelmed by anxiety and on the verge of tears, she remained composed on the surface.

Richard looked at his daughter and suddenly felt his heart pang. He sighed wearily as he spoke, “Shirley, of course, I would love nothing more than to allow you to return. However, there’s a chance that Zacharias would get distracted if you’re in Averna.” She couldn’t help but grip her father’s hand as her eyes turned red-rimmed.

“Dad, please. I beg you. Turn the plane around! Send me back there. At least let me know if he’s safe. Please?” Richard knew the daughter he had raised wasn’t one to get flustered easily. She was usually calm and rational. So, he felt pained to see her in such emotional distress for the first time. In the end, what else could he do but support his daughter in her endeavors? “Nixon, turn the plane around,” Richard called out to the cockpit.

“Understood, Mr. Lloyd.” The plane smoothly switched to another route. There wasn’t even a hint of turbulence.

Richard took out a satellite phone and dialed a number before giving an order on the other end, saying sternly, “Keep an eye on the situation at Easternia.

Immediately report to me if any strange activities are happening.” Shirley sat beside her father. “Dad, do you know who he’s dealing with?” “A few people who are capable of collectively challenging his position. It’s definitely not something ordinary folks can intervene in. These individuals wield extensive influence and have numerous subordinates. Zacharias sent you away so he could focus on his task without worrying about you.” Richard didn’t bother hiding the truth from her.

He had received a heads-up from Ren about this matter because they had been setting up a trap all this time. They were going to use this opportunity to take down several major players capable of causing massive upheaval in one fell swoop.

Shirley’s heart instantly tightened as her mind started racing. Even though she understood that Zacharias wanted to protect her, all she wanted to do was stay by his side and support him in any way she could. She didn’t want to be apart from him at all.
