Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 221

Mrs. Brenda Gable and the other cafeteria workers instantly snapped their mouths shut.

But the moment Danielle grabbed her breakfast and left, Mrs. Gable's trap was running again.

"Honestly, I get why she's upset. Logan is such a catch—gorgeous, built like a Greek god. She never should have dumped him. Now she has to watch him with someone else, and it's eating her alive."

Another woman chimed in, "The thing is, his new wife is absolutely stunning. Her complexion is flawless."

"Now that you mention it, doesn't that make them a white rose and a black rose? Total opposites."

"Oh, definitely. Hahaha."

"..." Outside the door, Danielle heard every single word the cafeteria ladies said.

Her grip tightened around her drink until the plastic bottle ruptured, spilling her protein shake all over the floor.

Today's schedule still focused on maritime rescue training.

After a full day of instruction yesterday, everyone was finally brave enough to attempt a cable descent.

Because Danielle kept the chopper perfectly steady, Sloane's performance was even better than before.

Rappelling down, assessing the patient, and hooking the harness—she did it all in one fluid motion.

When they hoisted the dummy up, the entire cabin erupted into applause.

"Dr. Sutton, you were amazing out there! Absolutely fearless."

"That maneuver was incredibly badass. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were Special Forces."

"..." Everyone in the aircraft was heaping praise on Sloane.

Hearing this from the cockpit, Danielle let out a cold scoff. "Her movements were sloppy and her reflexes were painfully slow. In a real combat scenario, that hesitation would get her killed."

Her harsh words instantly killed the mood, plunging the cabin into silence.

It was a total buzzkill.

Sloane didn't argue. She knew her own limits; she had only been training for two days and was far from a professional.

But Zoe couldn't stand Danielle's condescending attitude. "If you're so perfect, why don't you show us how it's done?"
