Chapter 98 Another Plane Crash
Ryan calmly advised John, “Make sure they perform well in the competition. The prize money won’t be small afterward.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
He then hung up the phone.
“Ryan, when did you invest in the gaming team?” Gwen asked while sipping her cocktail.
“It’s because I keep losing when I play. I got tired of being blamed by my teammates, so in a fit of frustration, I spent 2 billion to assemble a team. I figured if I throw enough money at it, I’d eventually! attract some talent.”
Ryan chuckled as he swiveled in his gaming chair. “From now on, this team is all yours. Consider it a gift.
from me.”
Gwen winked at him. “Thanks a lot!”
Just then, a call came from an unknown number. Without thinking, she declined it, but the caller was persistent.
“Hello?”
“Gwen, now you know how powerful I am. You will return the ring and apologize to Sienna.” Anthony’s -tone dripped with arrogance. “How does it feel to be scolded by the whole internet?”
Gwen raised an eyebrow, and her lips curled into a smirk. ‘Is that all you can do?”
She continued nonchalantly, “I thought after years of dominating the business world, you’d have some actual skills. But your tactics are just petty tricks.
“Cheating while playing dice, hiring thugs to threaten people, spreading rumors… All you know are underhanded tactics. How dare you call yourself reputable in front of others?”
“Though my methods are less than honorable, they’ve been enough to make it difficult for you to get by in Bellmont.” He snorted.
“This is your last chance. Return my ring voluntarily, and I might convince the media to go easy on you if I’m in a good mood. If not…”
He seemed to be holding back a significant threat.
“What will you do if I refuse to?”
“It’s Mr. Lawson Senior’s 70th birthday in a couple of days. Henry likes you and doesn’t care about these rumors, but as his grandfather, Marlon will definitely not let you through the door!
“If I were to say a few words in front of him, let’s see how long you can keep your general manager position!”
Gwen couldn’t help but laugh. “That would be great! Please do tell Mr. Lawson Senior about it. I’ll be waiting.”
Marlon was far too busy to concern himself with a small–time figure like Anthony, let alone listen to what a local thug had to say.
“Hmph! Just you wait!” Anthony seemed ready to hang up.
“Hold on,” Gwen said slowly, and her tone carried a hint of intimidation. “This is your last chance. Have Sienna kneel, apologize, and admit everything. If you do, I’ll make sure you don’t suffer too badly.

“Dream on!” he yelled and hung up.
Ryan shook his head as he listened nearby. “This guy is too arrogant and willing to fabricate anything. Gwen, teach him a lesson.”
“It’s time to find a good use for that white emerald ring. Gwen said with a playful smile.
A few days later, in the Dornwick airport terminal, the shrill sound of alarms pierced through the air and Gwen was wrapped in a blanket given by the rescue team. Despite this, she couldn’t shake the chill that gripped her.
She glanced outside the terminal to the nearby tarmac, where a nearly disintegrated plane was engulfed in flames, with ambulances arriving one after another.
She never thought she would experience a second plane crash in her life. The aircraft caught fire at an altitude of 330,000 feet, forcing the crew to make an emergency landing However, it lost control at 32 feet from the ground and plummeted onto the tarmac
Gwen clenched her fists, trying to remain calm. Fortunately, she hadn’t suffered any serious injuries this time.
In the face of such an incident, the frailty of human strength was painfully evident.
Rescue workers hurried through the terminal, and their walkie–talkies were crackling with updates on the situation.
“How many people are still unaccounted for?”
“We haven’t been able to confirm the total number yet.
“Quick! Someone over there is injured. Get a stretcher over!”
Gwen felt a sense of déjà vu wash over her as she observed the chaotic scene.
