Jonathan had not shown much reaction at the time. However, during the department meeting held earlier this month, he specifically allocated some time at the end of the meeting to discuss the issue.
The incident had been a great disgrace to Mr. Lachman of the Cabin Crew Department, who was sternly reprimanded for his oversight.
Over the last two months, he had been slaving away to tighten discipline and improve the work culture at AeroAir. His disciplinary plan had been revised three times since then.
Even the flight attendants at AeroAir were treading carefully, meticulously keeping every single hair in place lest they were caught in the crossfire.
Zion set the latest version of the disciplinary plan down on the table, then subconsciously straightened his tie and posture.
Jonathan didn’t even bother to acknowledge the document in the slightest. He simply stated plainly, “I’m not interested in looking at the plan–I only care about the results. If the work culture in the company hasn’t changed by the end of the quarter, he can take responsibility and resign from his position.”
“Yes, sit.” Zion took the document back and placed another file on the table.
“This is the incident report on the pregnant passenger from the recent incident. You also asked us to investigate her family’s recent financial transactions for anything abnormal. Nothing seems out of the ordinary so far. Would you like us to continue digging?”
Jonathan had only just returned to the country and taken over as the executive CEO of AeroAir when the incident occurred.
Moreover, there just happened to be a prominent social media influencer on the flight at the time. The incident had quickly escalated into a major incident online. On top of everything, the pregnant woman happened to have a rare blood type–Rh–negative blood.
There were too many lucky coincidences to be a coincidence. How could Jonathan not be suspicious about the whole situation?
“A fox doesn’t show its tail that easily. No need to continue watching them for now,” Jonathan
said.
Zion nodded and moved on to the next item in his report.

“The editor–in–chief of the Finance Daily, Mr. Hussain, would like to schedule an in–depth interview with you about the development of the ‘Smart Airport‘ initiative…”
“Decline it.”
Zion acknowledged the order.
With no other matters to report at the moment, he turned to leave. His phone vibrated just as he was about to step out of the office.
Glancing briefly at the screen, he abruptly stopped in his tracks and returned to stand in front of Jonathan again.
“Anything else?” Jonathan finally raised his head to look at Zion.
Zion pushed his phone toward Jonathan.
“Ms. Claude is asking about your preferences. How should I respond to her, Mr. Fullbuster?”
Jonathan’s gaze landed on the WhatsApp conversation displayed on Zion’s phone. He paused for a moment, then pulled out his own phone to check.
As expected… There was nothing.
He tossed the phone back to Zion, his tone flat and unreadable. “Reply however you see fit.”
“Understood, Mr. Fullbuster.”
Zion got the hint. Taking his phone, he turned to leave again.
“Wait.”
At that moment, Jonathan suddenly remembered something and called out to Zion.
He opened a drawer and pulled out a jewelry box, which he tossed to Zion.
“Have it melted down, and donate the remains to the Fullbuster Group’s foundation for elderly parents who’ve lost their only child.”
Pausing for a moment, he then added in an icy voice, “Do it yourself.”
Zion was baffled by those cryptic words. It’s one thing to donate jewelry, but why melt it down? And what did he mean by “remains“?
Opening the jewelry box, he peeked inside. He was instantly greeted by the sight of a dazzling

pink diamond ring.
Oh… It’s Ms. Claude’s wedding ring…
I remember now–I once helped Mr. Fullbuster trace the origins of this ring…

He secretly snickered to himself. Honestly, though, there’s no need to melt it down. The flames of jealousy surrounding Mr. Fullbuster alone could’ve melted the ring with ease.
Anneliese was waiting at a red light when she received a reply from Zion on WhatsApp. Tapping on the message, she blinked in surprise.
All I did was ask a simple question: What kind of food does Jonathan like?
Why did Mr. Harland send an entire document to me?
She tapped on the document.
The dense content jammed into the document made her eyes water. It listed not just Jonathan’s food preferences–but even included his favorite underwear brands!
She did not dare to read further and hurriedly closed the document in a panic.
Anneliese: ‘Mr. Harland, did you send the wrong file?‘
Is it really okay to share the CEO’s personal details just like that?
Zion responded a moment later.
Zion: ‘Huh?‘
Zion: ‘I asked one of the junior secretaries to extract just the part about his food preferences, Looks like they misunderstood and sent the entire document.
Zion: ‘But it’s fine–we trust your integrity, Ms. Claude. Just don’t spread the information around.
Anneliese: ‘Alright!
In any case, she had noticed one specific detail when she glanced through the document earlier–Jonathan liked peach almond mille–feuille.
There’s a bakery near Astoria University that makes a great version of peach almond mille–feuille.

Without hesitation, she switched on her turn signal and made the turn toward the bakery.
But something unexpected happened as soon as she parked the car and walked to the bakery- she ran into Zacharias, whom she hadn’t seen in several days.
Zacharias was dressed in a crisp, tailored suit. His expression was cool yet composed. Standing with one hand in his pocket, he radiated the calm confidence of a successful and refined businessman.
His appearance stood out like a sore thumb in the little university town, drawing curious glances from passersby.
Coral stood beside him, her face flushed with pride and coquettish modesty.
A few other girls stood nearby, staring at Coral with undisguised envy.
“Coral, your boyfriend is seriously handsome! And impressive! No wonder you’ve been hiding him from us!”
“Mr. Shaw, I know you’re the CEO of a company and everything, but we’re Coral’s closest friends! We won’t forgive you if you ever treat her poorly!”
