Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day

Chapter 27

The day’s events at the company seemed like a disaster to most, but to Lucas, it was an opportunity to advance his reputation.

After all, EnviroCorp was the victim, and he hastily arranged a press conference, hoping Madison would stand with him, helping to

cultivate his image as an upright figure.

He also hoped to portray himself as a magnanimous and benevolent CEO, so that Mokino International would remember his goodness.

This way, he would have some leverage for future negotiations with Mokino International!

Observing Madison’s current demeanor, he felt more and more that she was playing hard to get.

Lucas indulged in these hopeful thoughts.

“Did Madison agree?” Sophia entered the room.

Most people in the industry knew that Lucas was the CEO of EnviroCorp, and that Madison was his wife.

So, for this press conference, Lucas needed Madison by his side, so that even if he attended the red carpet event with Sophia later in the evening, others would see it as mere show, not something serious.

Lucas quickly understood, “How much money?”

The entertainment industry was like this, money was the key.

Sophia immediately snuggled up to his neck, cooing, “I knew my Lucas was the best. Not much, 15 million will do.”

“15 million?” Lucas was taken aback.

Sophia nodded, “That’s already a bargain. You know I’m not a major star. The reality show ‘Go For It, Bro is so popular, they don’t even need to invite guests, people are begging to appear for free, just for the exposure. If I can ride the wave of this show’s popularity, spend a little more to become a regular guest, I might just break into the third- tier actor ranks.”

Having said this, she continued to act coy, “Good Lucas, didn’t you promise to support my career?”

“But you…”

Lucas touched her belly, “You’re pregnant. The reality show has lots of physical games. What if something happens to our baby? Why don’t we skip this one? I can invest in a movie for you.

Actually, I hope you can take good care of yourself during the pregnancy. You can resume your career after the baby is born.”

“I’ve told you before, I won’t sacrifice my dreams for family. You

But as he did so, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

Madison was very obedient, always agreeing to his requests with a

gentle smile, not making waves in public, dutifully taking care of the

family.

Thinking about this, Lucas found himself distracted.

Sophia didn’t bother with him anymore, “Anyway, I’m going. So, remember to transfer the money to me.”

Having said this, she left.

Lucas had to deal with the day’s events at the company and did not have time to accompany her.

Back in her room, Sophia locked the door quietly and dialed a number.

“Director Qin? I’ve secured the sponsorship. It will be in my name.” Sophia said with a smile.

Director Qin was pleased, “That’s great. I’ll arrange for you to film two episodes.”

“Really?” Sophia was ecstatic, “That’s fantastic!”

“But don’t push yourself too hard during the show, take care of our baby.” Director Qin cautioned.

Sophia blushed, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of our baby. By the way, has your old hag at home been giving you trouble?”

tor Qin responded, “You’re the best. You care about me and ecially when we’re…”

Sophia giggled and scolded, “You’re bad!”

They flirted and whispered with each other for a while before ending

the call.

After the call, Sophia promptly deleted the call history.

In the meantime.

Madison navigated the helicopter back to PingSong Harbor along the

usual route.

Upon landing, Ethan went straight into the study, where Michael was waiting.

Madison discreetly retreated to the room next door.

Michael glanced at the next room, then strode into the study, “Have. you heard about the helicopter that flew from east to west across the Qilin Mountain range and reached Nanzhou in just over fifty minutes?

Ethan, leafing through the accident report, asked, “What about it?”

“The people from the National Airline are quietly asking around about it, and so are the people from the helicopter training school. Do your have any information on this? Whoever this person is, if we could recruit them, they could definitely fly Mokino International’s flagship

route.”

Qilin Mountain is a well-known mountain range in PingSong Harbor. The airspace there is filled with flocks of birds, the terrain fluctuates sharply, and the sea nearby perpetually shrouded in fog.

So rossing this area in a helicopter would usually take at least half.

our, with a high degree of difficulty.

And to get to Nianzhou from the edge of PingSong Harbor would take 80 minutes, which is already the fastest recorded time. So the entire journey would take at least two hours.

William walked in with a coffee, casually answering, “Miss Clark flew

it.”

“What?!”

Michael screamed as if he’d been stepped on.

Regardless, he quickly closed the study door behind him, leaning. against it with a look of disbelief on his face, “That Mon… Madison flew it? Fifty-seven minutes, from east to west, facing sea fog and crossing Qilin Mountain, and she even made it to Nianzhou?!!”

It’s not that Michael was naïve, but he’d been with Ethan for many years and had ridden all sorts of aircraft.

Even if he couldn’t fly a plane, he could guess how long a journey

would take within familiar regions.

Not just him, even the local Nianzhou authorities who received Madison’s flight time report thought there was a mistake.

But the radar signals along the route confirmed that the helicopter had indeed reached Nianzhou at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, William is holding his phone, “Mr. Grant, there are already people inquiring about Miss Clark’s information.”

In no time, the helicopter that had taken off from PingSong Harbor at 10 am and safely reached Nianzhou at 10:57 am became the talk of the pilot world.

Som thought this was a hoax.

who had flown over Qilin Mountain, thought it was impossible.

ndreds of posts popped up on the pilots’ forum.

Until finally, a military pilot commented: [Such a thing is possible. But it requires top-tier skills. No need to be jealous, work hard and you can achieve it too.】

Recognizing the account name, many pilots excitedly replied-

[We caught the military pilot guru!)

+25 BOWLS

[Guru, what level are you talking about when you say top-tier?]

[The guy above, did you fail language in school? Guru said top-tier.]

It took a while before the Guru responded-

[That is, possesses the ability to fly a fighter jet.】

[Holy shit!!!]

Everyone fell silent at this response, their minds however, were exploding.

Who was this character?

A retired military pilot?

Can we meet and worship him!
