Lady Warrior's Warth on Divorce Day novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Daphne felt the pain and recalled the scene when Wren had strangled her neck before. A chill immediately ran down her spine.

“I’m just angry that Zoya belittled our relationship, making it sound like nothing more than an exchange,” Daphne said.

“An exchange?” Wren said calmly. “There’s nothing wrong with that, it seems. You traded one eye for the benefits granted by the Richmond family.”

Daphne’s body stiffened. Fortunately, at that moment, the airshow ended, and Jasmine emerged from the cockpit with a triumphant expression.

A crowd of reporters surrounded her, beginning to interview Jasmine.

Among these news outlets, several had received money from Jasmine, who instructed them to write many press releases praising her.

Nicolas was also by Jasmine’s side.

“By the way, Ms. Ingram, are you currently dating Mr. Mayer?” a reporter asked.

Nicolas’s body stiffened for a moment, unable to respond in time before Jasmine beat him to it with a beaming smile.”Yes,” she said. “Nicolas and I are currently dating.”

The reporter hurriedly congratulated them.

Nicolas uncomfortably pursed his lips, glancing at Zoya, who was not far away.

But Zoya looked completely calm, as if she didn’t care at all.

‘Did she not hear the conversation between the reporter and Jasmine? Or… even if she heard it, she didn’t care?’ Nicolas wondered.

Thinking of this, Nicolas felt suffocating tightness in his chest.

At that moment, a reporter suddenly interjected, “I heard Mr. Mayer recently got divorced, so how come you’re already dating Ms. Ingram so soon? Is there a reason?”

“Nicolas and I were friends, to begin with. But it was only after Nicolas’s divorce that we realized our feelings for each other,” Jasmine said. “I’m also glad Nicolas divorced.” She then turned her head and looked directly at Zoya.

“Zoya, I should thank you for divorcing Nicolas,” Jasmine said. “Otherwise, how could I have the chance to be with such a wonderful man?”

On the surface, Jasmine was expressing gratitude, but in reality, it was more like a display of triumph and boasting.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze fell on Zoya.

A reporter rushed over to Zoya and asked, “What are your thoughts on Mr. Mayer and Ms. Ingram’s relationship?”

Zoya sneered, “I have nothing to say about it.”

“Ms. Ingram is Cloud Airlines’ first female captain. Do you feel upset because your ex-husband found such a great new girlfriend?” the reporter continued to ask.

This reporter had received money from Jasmine, so naturally, he would cooperate with her to embarrass Zoya.

But Zoya’s answer remained clear and concise. “No!” she said.

Then what do you have to say about Ms. Ingram’s flight performance just now? After all, you can’t do what she can,” said the

reporter.

Zoya gave the reporter a meaningful look. “Her performance just now wasn’t that great. She didn’t control her flight speed properly, requiring other aircraft to cover for her.

Most importantly, her approach speed for landing was too high. If she were unlucky, she could have overshot the runway.”

Since someone asked her for a critique, she certainly wouldn’t hold back.

The reporter was stunned. His words were originally meant to embarrass Zoya, but now, it seemed the one who got embarrassed was Jasmine.

asmine’s expression darkened. “Zoya, you don’t need to say that just to belittle me!”

That’s right! Ms. Ingram is a first officer with extensive flying experience. You can’t just slander her with a few casual words. Besides, do you even know how to fly a plane?” the reporter asked.

Oh, come on, what does she know about flying a plane? She probably hasn’t even touched a cockpit.” Daphne finally found in opportunity to mock Zoya.

Zoya was once the captain of Alpha Special Ops. Do you really think she hasn’t even touched a cockpit?” Wren said coldly, glancing at Daphne as if she were an idiot.

Daphne’s smile instantly froze on her lips.

She had always thought Zoya was just an ordinary veteran, never expecting her to be the captain of Alpha Special Ops.

Even if she… used to fly, she’s been out of service for years. She must be out of practice compared to Jasmin. What else could this reckless criticism be if not malice?” Daphne retorted stubbornly.

Malice?” Wren scoffed. “Aren’t there a few other pilots here? Ask them if they think her comments were malicious.”

The pilots who had also participated in the performance exchanged glances. Finally, one of them stepped forward and said, Ms. Zoya Lucero’s critique is correct. There indeed were these problems with Ms. Ingram’s flight performance just now.”

After all, many people recorded the performance just now. If they said Jasmine’s flying was flawless, it would come back to pite them later when others reviewed the footage, making others think their own skills weren’t up to par either.

Therefore, they had to tell the truth right now.

asmine’s expression turned dark. “How much did she pay you to make you speak on her behalf like this?”

“Ms. Ingram, we didn’t take any money, and everything we said was the truth. If you think we lied, you can have experts review the footage recorded on-site,” said the pilot.

Jasmine was rendered speechless.

Zoya looked coldly at Jasmine, “Your flying skills aren’t good enough. I advise you to spend more time training instead of showing off here. After all, if you fly a plane, you’ll be responsible for the lives of everyone on board!”

Jasmine’s face suddenly flushed crimson, while the reporters and news media on site snapped photos relentlessly.

She awkwardly pulled Nicolas away from the reporters and photographers.

She had originally wanted to regain honor in front of Zoya and make Zoya feel inferior, but it only resulted in her own public humiliation.

“She’s clearly malicious. Even if she used to fly planes, so what? She hasn’t flown in years. Who knows how much her skills have deteriorated!” Jasmine said indignantly.

‘Have her skills deteriorated?’ Nicolas thought to himself.

He remembered that before their divorce, he had seen Zoya piloting the same model of aerobatic aircraft performing in the sky at an airshow.

There was no sign of her being out of practice at all. Even he, a layman, could tell that Zoya’s piloting skills were superior to Jasmine’s.

Back then, Zoya performed much more difficult aerial maneuvers, and she landed with perfect stability.

However, facing the angry Jasmine at that moment, Nicolas held back his words.

As they were about to leave, a sharp cry suddenly echoed, “Oh no, a child has fallen into the sea!”

Since the groundbreaking ceremony included a charity donation event, children from Marabotara Orphanage were also present at the scene at this moment.

One of the children was being swept by the waves, constantly bobbing in the sea.

Although the child was not far from the shore, the current waves could easily sweep him farther

away.

Nicolas instinctively wanted to rush out and save the child, but Jasmine tightly gripped his hand, saying, “Don’t go!”

Nicolas was stunned, almost suspecting that he had misheard.

‘The woman who once resolutely saved me from the river… Is she unwilling to save an innocent life now?’ he wondered.

At the same time, a figure had already rushed toward the child in the sea.

Nicolas’s eyes widened in shock. He stared blankly at that figure and realized it was Zoya.

She agilely rushed into the waves, swimming quickly toward the child who had fallen into the sea.

At that moment, Nicolas felt as if Zoya’s figure was overlapping with the one he had sensed in the river when he was disoriented.
