“That’s not true, that’s not how it is! They bought tickets for a different car, why should they take seats here?!” Celeste began to panic, but her mouth remained defiant, refusing to admit. any fault.
Holden, who had arrived by then, checked his phone and stepped forward to pull her aside, frowning as he questioned, “Wait, I bought you and our daughter two business class tickets. Why is there only one now?”
Celeste’s expression shifted. “I…”
It was then that Oriana spoke up, “Mr. Lockhart, which two seats did you buy?”
Holden was taken aback, looking down at his phone. “They were two adjoining business class seats, 2A and 2C.”
“2C she’s sitting in herself. As for 2A…”
Zara drawled meaningfully, and everyone instinctively turned their gaze toward the man who had been sitting by the window in the second row the whole time.
The attendant stepped forward. “Sir, could you please show us your ticket information?”
The man looked grim, but under the pressure, he had no choice but to comply.
The attendant glanced at it and kindly reminded him, “Sir, you purchased a standard seat, which is in car seven.”
Zara deliberately drew out her words loudly, “Oh… So all along, someone else was in your seat, and you didn’t say a word?”
The man said nothing, only awkwardly stood up, grabbed his luggage, and made to leave.
Celeste also shut her mouth resentfully, none of the previous arrogant bluster left in her.
Silence fell over the car. Everyone thought that once the seat–squatting man left, the matter would be resolved smoothly.
But just before the man could leave, Oriana suddenly spoke again, “The two of you know each
other.”
“You’re talking nonsense!”

Celeste was the first to explode, bristling and gesturing wildly at Oriana. “Stop slandering me!”
Oriana lifted her chin slightly, her gaze settling on Celeste’s wrist. “You’re both wearing matching couple bracelets. And the stickers on your luggage are a set, too.”
That comment caused a huge stir!
“Whoa!”
“Damn!”
Zara quickly widened her eyes to look at what Oriana had pointed out. “It really is! Matching bracelets, and the luggage tags are a couple set too! No wonder you came down so hard on us but didn’t say a word to the guy in your seat–you two are having an affair! And you even parked your daughter in an empty seat!”
Zara’s eyes instantly lit up. Taking a cue, she immediately went to Calder to tattle, pointing at the flustered Celeste and the man.
“Mr. Lee, doesn’t this count as malicious provocation? Oh, and she also started a live stream to slander our reputation and smear your station’s management!”
Calder nodded in agreement. “This lady is right. Have the auxiliary police take them away to the station.”
At his command, the auxiliary police waiting outside immediately rushed in, apprehending both of them.
Holden was furious. Seeing his daughter sitting helplessly in her seat, sobbing uncontrollably, his heart ached as he went over to pick her up. “Romise, don’t be scared. Daddy will take you home!”
The little girl clung to Holden, burying her head. “Daddy, waaah… Mommy was so scary, I’m
scared…”
“Don’t be scared anymore. Daddy’s here.”
Celeste, seeing the man being taken away, desperately shouted at Holden, “Holden! What are you just standing there for? Say something, help me!”
“Celeste! I spent money so you could take our daughter on a trip, and you betrayed me—”
“No, it’s not like that, Holden, listen to me! It’s these poor losers who couldn’t stand me getting a free seat and slandered me. It’s not what you think!”
