Chapter 109 The Head of the Family
It seemed as if it was already too late.
Jean closed her eyes; a storm of emotions washed over her.
It is clear the plot had begun to unfold.
Finished
Dominic’s plane had indeed run into trouble. Although the news was still reporting it as missing, Jean knew better, the plane had already crashed.
There was always a delay in media reports. The world would not know the devastating truth for some time.
Jean exhaled deeply.
Suddenly she heard a loud noise downstairs.
She opened her door and hurried down the stairs into the dining room.
Sienna had dropped an entire plate of cookies on the floor. She stood frozen, her face hollow and shaken.
Easton sat nearby, expressionless. His face was veiled in the dim light, unreadable and pale.
Jean understood right away; they must’ve seen the news just like I had.
“Mom… Easton…”
She approached slowly and asked gently, “Are you… okay?”
Sienna snapped out of her daze, her shaken heart slowly beginning to calm as she looked at Jean.
“Jean.” She opened her mouth, stunned, but not knowing how to break such tragic news to her daughter. “I…”
Jean’s expression remained calm.
“Dominic’s plane went missing, right?” she asked directly, not beating around the bush.
“You already know?” Sienna looked at her in surprise.
Jean picked up her phone and said flatly, “I saw it on the news.”
“Jean, you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll take care of it,” Sienna said with a tired but steady look, her voice filled with a quiet strength.
Easton looked over thoughtfully, his gaze as deep as the ocean, unreadable.
“What if… it’s not that simple?”

“Mom,” she said, her lips tightening, her expression strained, “maybe I can help you.”
Sienna blinked, surprised by Jean’s offer.
But then she remembered, Jean could foresee some events….
Maybe she really did know something.
Just then Sienna’s phone rang.
She looked at the screen. It was the Federal Aviation Administration.
This is their second call
Not long ago, I had received the first call informing me that the private airplane was missing.
Now they were calling again.
Which could only mean that there was an update.
A bad one, most likely.
Sienna suddenly felt a twinge of fear.
As old people said, no news is good news.
Whenever new information came in, she hoped it would just go away.
I didn’t want to hear bad news about Dominic…
The ringtone buzzed in her ears like a curse.
Her fingers shook as she held the phone.
“Should I answer it?”
Easton, perhaps sensing her hesitation, suddenly held out his hand,
Finished
His fingers were long and slender, his pale, beautiful face shining with a cold light. He showed no expression, but there was a quiet strength about him, and it made Sienna feel strangely reassured.
I hadn’t expected Easton to notice my emotions, let alone offer to share them with me.
Maybe he wasn’t as heartless as I’d once thought.
But in the end, Sienna shook her head.
I’m still the head of the Ginger family. My nerves aren’t that weak.

This moment is my exception
no
Sienna hit the answer button. A calm voice came over the phone.
Jean stared at her, watching her carefully.
Whatever the person on the other end said, it made Sienna’s face freeze.
Her eyes widened in shock. She looked completely lost.
Then she hung up.
Finishe
She stood there, motionless, her lips pressed tightly together, all color drained from her face.
Jean had a feeling she knew what the call was about.
It could only be an update on Dominic and the airplane
“Was that it?” Easton asked, though the look on Sienna’s face already told him it was bad news.
Sienna didn’t answer. She just clenched her fingers tighter.
She looked like she was about to collapse. Her eyes were red with unshed tears.
Easton couldn’t hold back anymore. His voice was low, “Let me handle this
It had been earlier, I wouldn’t have cared.
