After Divorce, I Returned as the Army's Queen novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Chloe and His Rescuer’s Overlapping Shadows

1/4

Willow flinched, a jolt of cold dread running up her spine. It was the same feeling she had when Brian had choked her before.

“I’m just angry that Chloe belittled our relationship. She spoke as if it were some kind of transaction!” Willow snapped.

“Transaction?” Brian replied flatly. “I don’t see anything wrong with that. You traded an eye for the benefits the Steele family provided.”

Willow’s body stiffened. Just then, the flight demonstration ended, and Sonya stepped out of the cockpit, a smug smile on her face.

Reporters swarmed around her, bombarding her with questions. Several of them had been paid by Sonya to write glowing press releases in her favor.

Curtis stood by her side.

“Excuse me, Ms. Miller, are you and Mr. Green dating?” a reporter asked.

Curtis froze. Before he could answer, Sonya smiled and said, “Yes, Curtis and I are officially dating.”

The reporter quickly offered his congratulations.

Curtis pressed his lips together, uncomfortable, and glanced at Chloe. To his surprise, she appeared completely calm, as if she hadn’t heard a word.

Had she not heard Sonya and the reporter? Or had she heard and simply didn’t care?

The thought made his chest tighten.

Just then, another reporter spoke up. “We heard that Mr. Green recently got a divorce. Was that why you and Ms. Miller started dating so soon?”

“Curtis and I were friends first. It was only after his divorce that we realized our feelings for each other.

I’m really grateful he’s divorced.” Sonya replied.

She turned her gaze directly to Chloe. “Chloe Quall, I should thank you for divorcing Curtis. Otherwise, I might never have met such a wonderful man.”

Though her words sounded polite, they were clearly a taunt, a subtle act of bragging.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Chloe.

A reporter hurried over. “Ms. Quall, what are your thoughts on Mr. Green and Ms. Miller’s relationship?”

Chloe sneered. “I have no thoughts.”

“Ms. Miller is AeroQuest Airlines‘ first female captain. Aren’t you uncomfortable that your ex–husband has

found such an amazing new girlfriend?” the reporter pressed.

Having taken Sonya’s money, the reporter was clearly trying to embarrass Chloe.

But Chloe’s answer was simple and composed. “No.”

“And what about Ms. Miller’s flight demonstration just now? She can do things you’ll never be able to,” the reporter continued.

Chloe gave the reporter a measured look. “Her demonstration wasn’t anything special. Her speed control was sloppy, and she required other planes to assist. Most importantly, her landing approach was far too fast. With a bit of bad luck, she could have overshot the runway.”

If they wanted her opinion, she wasn’t going to hold back.

The reporter was stunned. His words had been meant to humiliate her, but now it was Sonya who looked embarrassed.

Sonya’s face fell. “Chloe, you don’t have to say that just to put me down!”

“Come on, Ms. Miller is a pilot with plenty of flying experience. You can’t tear her down with a few empty words. Besides, do you even know how to fly a plane?” the reporter interjected.

“What would she know about flying? She probably hasn’t even sat in the pilot’s seat.” Willow finally seized the chance to mock Chloe.

“Chloe was once the captain of the Shadow Hawks Special Forces. Do you really think she’s never sat in a pilot’s seat?” Brian said coldly, looking at Willow as if she were a fool.

Willow’s smile froze instantly.

She had always assumed Chloe was just a regular veteran, but the captain of the Shadow Hawks Special Forces?

“Even if she knew how to fly before, it’s been years since she retired. Her skills must be rusty. How could she possibly be as good as Sonya? Her comments are clearly meant to be malicious!” Willow insisted

stubbornly.

“Malicious?” Brian sneered. “There are a few other pilots here, aren’t there? Let’s ask them if her remarks

were really malicious.”

The other pilots who had participated in the performance exchanged glances. Finally, one stepped

forward. “Ms. Quall is right. Ms. Miller’s flight demonstration did have that issue.”

After all, the demonstration had been recorded. If they denied the problem and someone later used the

video to expose them, it would only make them look incompetent.

They had no choice but to tell the truth.

Sonya’s expression darkened. “How much did she pay you to take her side like this?”

“Ms. Miller, we haven’t taken any money. We’re just speaking the truth. If you think we’re lying, you’re

welcome to have an expert review the footage,” the pilot replied calmly.

Sonya was left speechless.

Chloe fixed her with a cold gaze. “Your flying skills aren’t up to par. I suggest you stop showing off and spend more time training. When you’re in the cockpit, you’re responsible for everyone’s life on board.”

Sonya’s face burned a deep red as reporters and media outlets continued snapping photos. Mortified, she

quickly pulled Curtis away from the cameras.

She had intended to outshine Chloe and make her feel inferior, but instead, she had humiliated herself in

front of the media.

“She’s just being malicious. Even if she used to be skilled at flying, she hasn’t done it in years. Who knows

how much her abilities have deteriorated!” Sonya fumed.

Was her skill rusty?
