After Divorce, I Returned as the Army's Queen novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 A Panicked Sonya

It took a while before Sonya asked blankly, “Live stream? You mean, when I was kidnapped, it was being streamed live?”

“Yes,” Curtis said quietly.

“How could that be? I didn’t see any streaming equipment. I…” The moment she thought about what she’d said after being kidnapped, Sonya’s expression changed drastically.

She said, “Where’s my phone? Give me my phone. I need to see what was broadcast!”

Curtis took out the phone that Sonya had dropped when she was kidnapped. She grabbed it and immediately began searching.

Even though the kidnapper’s stream had already been shut down, the incident was trending hot online. Many people had clipped segments of the live stream and uploaded them online, so Sonya could easily

find those videos.

Sonya watched the clips of herself being beaten and begging in desperation. Her face turned deathly pale when she saw the part where she’d admitted to turning a blind eye and refusing to help the co–pilot.

How could this be happening?

She’d thought that only she and the kidnapper would hear what she said.

But now, everyone would know about what she’d done.

She scrolled through the comments beneath those posts crazily. Every single one was filled with scorn

and abuse.

“Some firefighting heroine! Disgusting!”

“She’s basically a murderer!”

“Can someone like her still be a captain? How did AeroQuest Airlines choose such trash? If they don’t fire her, I’ll never fly with AeroQuest again!”

“If it weren’t for this kidnapping, we would never have known how fake she is! It’s a good thing she got

kidnapped!”

“She should get a taste of what it feels like to burn!”

Seeing those comments, even Sonya’s hands trembled.

Before this, everyone had been full of praise and flattery for her. She was used to being placed on a pedestal.

But now, in just a few hours, everything had turned upside down.

Chapter 131 A Panicken Sony

She’d fallen from grace.

She’d gone from being a hero everyone admired for putting out a fire to a coward despised by all.

No, this wasn’t supposed to be how her life went.

Sonya suddenly hurled the phone away, panting in panic. “Delete them. Delete all those videos! Curtis, help me! You have to help me!”

Curtis looked troubled. “The news is trending right now. It’s almost impossible to take those videos down. But people will stop talking about it after some time. You just need to wait until this blows over.”

“Yes, it’ll all be fine after some time!” Sonya repeated over and over, as though to comfort herself.

As long as the storm passed, she would still be a celebrated captain. She could still live a good life.

“Sonya, just rest for now. Don’t overthink it. I need to head to the police station since they need a

statement,” Curtis said.

But as he was about to leave, Sonya suddenly grabbed his hand. “Curtis, about those things I said in the videos, they weren’t true!”

“What?” Curtis was stunned for a moment.

“I mean, the part about me ignoring someone in danger. That wasn’t real, I only said it to placate him! Curtis, you believe me, right?” Sonya said frantically.

Curtis now knew she was lying, so he remained silent for a long time.

From her reaction during the live stream, she hadn’t looked like she was placating anyone at all. It had seemed more like she’d reached her breaking point and accidentally slipped up, blurting out the truth.

When Sonya saw him remain silent, her expression turned uglier. “Do you not believe me?”

“Sonya, even if you did something wrong in the past and didn’t save someone in need, I don’t have the right to judge you. I’ll still help you.” Curtis pursed his lips together, stepped forward, and held her hand. At that moment, it looked like he was making a silent vow.

Yes, he would help her. After all, she’d saved his life, and she was the person he wanted to protect.

However, Sonya suddenly shoved him away. “You don’t believe me! Curtis, I thought that even if the whole world doubted me, you’d still believe me. But now, you don’t believe me?”

Curtis smiled bitterly. How could he possibly believe her?

“Even if I did, would anyone else? You saw it just now. So many people online have already seen the live

stream!”

Sonya’s face turned paler. She gripped the sheets tightly and said stubbornly, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t care if no one else believes me. You’re the only one I care about!”

Now that things had already reached this point, Sonya couldn’t afford to lose Curtis too. He was her biggest trump card.

She looked up and stared right at Curtis. “Curtis, if you don’t believe me, then break up with me. We can pretend we were never together. Then, whatever happens to me will have nothing to do with you. Even if everyone mocks me and tramples all over me, I won’t ask you for help!”

As soon as she said that, she saw guilt flash on Curtis’s face, just as she’d wanted. Sure enough, her

threat had worked.

Curtis apologized, “I’m sorry, Sonya. I misspoke earlier. I do believe you.”
