Chapter 57 A Twist of Fate

When walking straight among the married men, his appearance was considered outstanding. He worked in a state-owned enterprise. Although his salary was not high, it was stable.

Daisy clearly understood the underlying meaning in his words, but then she thought of Justin.

An unexplainable uneasiness surged through her heart, so she changed the subject.

After bidding farewell to the Jonas family, she returned home.

Daisy took out her phone once again and checked the real-time news. The news about LIN's facial injury had already reached the top of the trending list, with discussions taking place all over the internet. Elite Enterprises had also been dragged into the spotlight, as gossip about the Chinese wealthy businessman Mr. Scott started to emerge.

Although Justin's name had not appeared yet, Daisy couldn't help but worry. She looked at the person's profile picture on Instagram and hesitated about whether to contact him.

At this moment, it was already 11 am in France.

Justin was at Paris Orly Airport, waiting for his flight back home.

Suddenly, a call from LIN's headquarters made him leave the waiting lounge.

Beside him, Quinn Du couldn't help but be surprised, "What happened?"

"The LIN CEO is back, I have to go back too."

"Then I'll come with you!"

Justin furrowed his brows, "This project is not your responsibility, go back to the country first!"

" I won't feel at ease going back alone when the situation is so dire. Let me wait for you at the hotel instead?"

Justin silently looked at Quinn Du and agreed.

Daisy woke up late the next morning. She hurriedly sent her children off to school, and then took the subway to work.

It was during morning rush hour, the subway was packed with people. Daisy was squeezed into a corner, leaning against the wall and holding onto the handrail to maintain her balance.

Beside her, someone sitting in a seat was casually playing with their phone.

Two girls who looked like students were chatting softly, "Have you seen the news? A French airline has gone missing!"

"What? Another airplane disappearance?"

"Yes, I heard that the son and daughter-in-law of the CEO of Elite Enterprises were on board, and it's all over the trending list. It's karma, isn't it?"

"Wow, what a coincidence! Did all of them vanish without a trace? But they deserve it. They sold counterfeit products to consumers and acted all high and mighty!"

The son and daughter-in-law of the CEO of Elite Enterprises?

Upon hearing this conversation, Daisy couldn't help but look at the two girls, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The girls noticed Daisy's gaze, and though they were annoyed, they didn't say anything directly. Instead, they turned their bodies and looked at their phones on the other side.

Daisy stood still, stunned for a long time, before finally regaining her senses and immediately took out her phone to check the latest news.

Sure enough, the third trending topic was about the son and daughter-in-law of the CEO of Elite Enterprises on the missing plane.

Although their faces were blurred, Daisy could recognize that it was Justin!

The phone slipped from her hand!

Daisy kept thinking to herself in her mind, "Daisy, keep paying attention to the missing plane and write some heartfelt prayers to attract your fans."

Daisy absentmindedly nodded and turned on her computer, beginning various searches about the Scotts.

Although the news was disorganized, there was not a single mention of Justin.

It was, however, explicitly mentioned that Mr. Scott had a married son that was also on the missing plane.

Since he only has one married son, it must be referring to Justin.

She wished so much that this was fake news., Unfortunately, this wasn't the case!

Daisy's tears fell like raindrops on her phone as she trembled, picking it up and dialing the familiar number.

As expected...no answer.

She also tried sending a voice message on Instagram, but did not receive any response.

She could only contact Sarah and ask if she knew anything about Quinn's situation, and she affirmed that the news was true.

Her boss mentioend yesterday that Manager Quinn would be coming today, but who would have expected...sigh, it's really unfortunate.

Daisy began to cry uncontrollably.

She thought back to three years ago when she found out Justin had lied to her. She was upset and angry, ignoring him for nearly half a year. Even afterward, she kept her distance from him.

She hated him, disliked him, but never once did she wish for his death.

How could he?

What would she and Ryan do?

What should they do?

"What's going on?"

Daisy's sudden loss of control surprised her colleagues and superiors, who gathered around, concerned. "What happened?"

Daisy wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself, her voice trembling. "I...I don't feel well physically. I'd like to apply for urgent leave!"

"Oh, oh, go home then!" Seeing Daisy crying so sadly, her boss couldn't bear it and granted her leave without further thought.

Daisy left the company and went to pick up Ryan from kindergarten early.

On the way, Ryan kept murmuring, "Mom, I want to go back and play..."

His speech was becoming more and more fluent!

Daisy couldn't help but crouch down, embracing Ryan in her arms and asking softly, "If dad isn't here, would you cry?"

"Dad?" Ryan perked up at the mention, happily saying, "I want dad!"

Unable to hold back tears, Daisy wiped Ryan's slightly dirty face and forced a smile. "Alright, then let's go home and wait for dad."

"Yeah, yeah, I want dad to bring Ultraman!"

"Okay!"

Daisy held Ryan's hand and returned to their apartment.

After Ryan fell asleep, she started going online again, following the news about the plane, but there was still no trace.

She had mentally prepared herself for the worst possible outcome and found Mr. Scott's phone number online, hesitating about whether or not to call.

After all, they didn't let her be involved because of her status, right?

But Ryan, he was his son!

While Daisy was struggling, the doorbell of the apartment rang...

Daisy never expected that just as she was about to accept this reality, the person whom she though had gone missing appeared at her doorstep.

Once again, tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Justin?" Daisy sobbed, reaching out her hand, wanting to confirm if this was a dream or not.

However, before her hand could fully extend, it was restrained.

In an instant, Daisy's small body was pressed against the wall, and the man's warm and aggressive kiss covered her.

Strong hands placed Daisy's hands above her head, pressing her whole body.
