Donald had no hidden agenda; he simply said those words to provoke Zayden.
Uncertain of what Donald had figured out, Zayden remained silent for the rest of the flight, choosing not to cause any more trouble.
Geraldine wasn't naive. When Donald taunted Zayden, she also deduced that the so-called hijacking was a charade orchestrated by Zayden himself.
However, seeing Zayden's subsequent well-behaved demeanor and lack of mischief, Geraldine naturally stopped worrying about him.
The plane landed smoothly, and Donald and Geraldine proceeded to the Grand Imperial Hotel as planned.
On the other hand, Zayden emerged from the airport with a gloomy expression.
"Mr. Yanez, are you okay?"
Butler Dario remained unaware of Zayden's orchestrated hijacking.
In their usual travel routine, Zayden always enjoyed first-class luxury, while Dario settled for economy, ensuring Zayden's uninterrupted flirtation with the ladies.
Previously, such arrangements posed no problems. However, witnessing three hijackers being escorted off the plane today made Dario realize that something had gone wrong.
"Dario, cancel all our plans for the next few days. You have one task now: uncover the itinerary of that despicable couple. Once you have the information, send it to me immediately."
With a bitter smile, Dario said, "Mr. Yanez, this meeting with the Iugrea royal family was arranged by Old Mr. Yanez. If we reject it entirely, I'm afraid we might not fulfill our obligations to him."
"I don't care how the old man has arranged things! All I want to know now is the whereabouts of that despicable couple!"
Zayden grabbed Dario by the collar and continued, "If you can't find out anything about them before eleven o'clock tonight, then go back and tell my dad that I'm going to turn Ipston upside down!"
