The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211

"Besides, I genuinely love your father. I didn't get together with him for his wealth," Elizabeth added.

Whispers about the two women’s argument broke out in the cabin.

"I trust the one restrained by the security personnel."

"That flight attendant clearly isn't a good person. While she's pretty, her sharp gaze makes it seem like she's constantly plotting something vile.”

"Indeed. Plus, I don’t get it. Why would that lady work as a flight attendant if she's that rich?”

Kate's fists balled by her sides when she heard the discussions from her surroundings. She wanted to rebuke their claims but did not know what to say. Her breathing sped up alongside her heartbeat.

That was when Darius interfered, declaring, “I think, as a woman under security personnel’s restraint, she shouldn't have the right to speak with anyone.”

Only then did the two security personnel get up from their seats, no longer as lazy as they were before. They scowled at Darius but did not say anything. All they did was stand, then glanced at Elizabeth to say, "The situation is obvious. You shouldn't be speaking at all now."

Elizabeth paled, not knowing she was not allowed to speak to others after getting restrained by security personnel. Since she lived a wealthy lifestyle, she never felt like her actions were wrong.

Thus, she glimpsed at the personnel before avoiding their gaze entirely. Smiling tensely, she replied, "It was only a few words. Besides, slander is a huge deal to me. I'm sure you guys understand.

After all, it negatively affects others’ impression of my relationship and wealth. I can't let such lies continue to spread." Her reaction was unexpected by everyone there.

The personnel’s faces warped hideously.

"You should know the crimes you committed are severe. If your current behavior persists, it implies you haven't realized your mistakes. In that case, I'll label everything you do now as misconduct and present it at court when deciding your punishment."

Elizabeth's eyes grew wide, and her voice sharpened like a dagger. "Are you aware of what you're saying? I didn't do anything! I merely said a few things to my fiance's daughter. Must you guys treat me like this? Don't you think it's unfair to me?"

The leading personnel placed a hand on his waist while propping himself against the chair with his other arm. He was so furious that his breathing quickened, rendering him speechless with rage. His gaze remained downcast, focusing on the ground.

After some deep breaths, he shot a stern look at Elizabeth. "I've been lenient, but your actions have proven you’re unworthy of my kindness. Therefore, I'll take note of your every misbehavior from now on and bring them up during your trial.”
