Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1058

"Soon, Master Ellis. Do you remember when we almost crashed on that flight?"

Mira asked her master.

"Of course I remember! The two of you and a whole plane full of people were almost killed. How could I forget?

That black-hearted scum didn't just want you dead, he was ready to bury dozens of innocent passengers and the flight crew with you.

I wanted to chop him into pieces right then and there, but you insisted on handling it legally. And that old fossil of a grandfather went out of his way to cover up the bastard's mess."

Master Ellis glared at Owen. "And now that filthy cockroach is out on bail running his mouth!"

"I understand your anger, Master Ellis. But since he's committed such unforgivable sins, let him dig his own grave. Why dirty our hands?

The Lance family is deeply entrenched. Grandfather was in charge back then. If he found out our people killed his grandson, he would have unleashed hell on us."

In truth, Master Ellis understood the politics perfectly well, but the sheer disrespect still burned him.

"Don't worry, Master Ellis. The critical evidence from that plane sabotage is about to surface."

Owen assured him.

"Didn't he force his aunt's son to take the fall for that?"

Master Ellis asked.

"The evidence I'm talking about points directly at Lawrence, not his cousin."

Owen had to clarify, or else he'd endure another lecture.

"Then move fast. Don't let him keep strutting around causing trouble."

Owen had been quietly tracking the airplane sabotage the entire time. Back then, Mira had been in her senior year of high school, overwhelmed by impending exams, launching her startup, and dealing with her own toxic family, so she hadn't intervened.

With that settled, a new thought crossed Mira's mind. "Master Ellis, have you ever considered finding a partner?"

She realized that both Master Ellis and Rachel were single. Maybe...

Rachel was an incredible cook, meticulous, and incredibly thoughtful—a perfect match for Master Ellis. Meanwhile, Master Ellis had high-level combat skills, immense power, and wealth, which would give Rachel total security.

They would be perfect together.

Besides, when they grew old, Mira would take care of them both anyway.

With the crisis averted, the mood on the plane was light and relaxed, conversation flowing freely. As for the Lance family drama, Owen was more than capable of handling it himself; no one else needed to worry.

At the Aethelgard airport arrivals gate, a stunning couple walked out, drawing the gazes of every passing traveler.

The man wore a sleek black short-sleeved button-down and tailored black trousers that highlighted his tall, athletic frame.

His gaze was predatory, his features sharp and chiseled.

The woman wore a simple, elegant ivory dress with subtle floral embroidery. Her cascading dark waves fell freely over her shoulders, stunning and effortless.

With a radiant complexion and bright, soulful eyes, she wore no jewelry, yet she possessed a breathtaking beauty that made it impossible to look away.
