Chapter 1978
Jefferson glared at Johan angrily.
Adrienne looped her unyielding arms around his waist.
Johan raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth. His lips were slightly curled up, with a touch of smile, as he looked at Jefferson.
The atmosphere was evidently tense.
The commotion did not only attract the attention of the passengers in the first-class cabin but also alerted the flight attendants.
Two flight attendants rushed over in a hurry and advised, "Mr. Hefner, Mr. Silas, we are on a plane now. Can please take our time to calm ourselves down first?"
"Calm down?" thought Adrienne.
If Adrienne hadn't stopped him, Jefferson probably would have made Johan cripple then. How could he still calm down?
Unexpectedly, Johan, who received the punch, said with utter composure, "We are old acquaintances. We were just joking around with each other. Don't worry about it."
The stewardess clearly knew that things were not as what he had explained. However, since the victim of the fight had said so, there was nothing else she could do. Besides, those two men were not someone that she could be trifled with so she couldn't help but to bow out.
As long as their actions did not endanger the safety of the passengers on the plane or the journey itself, then they would turn a blind eye to it, as if they hadn't witnessed anything.
"Then please take your time to talk things out. If you need anything, please let us know right away. We will be more than happy to look out for your every need." The flight purser smiled as she said. She'd made herself very clear that they would be right over at the first sight of another commotion.
Jefferson was about to say something, but Adrienne spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Jefferson, even if you want to get into a fight, at least wait until the plane lands. Stop causing a ruckus here. We are in the air, the consequences will be unimaginable if anything happens here. You need to remember that you'll be putting more than a hundred lives at stake by behaving recklessly. You got that?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jefferson was surprised to hear that Adrienne was not asking him not to fight but to do it when they were on ground instead. That surprise soon superseded his anger, and he broke into a laughter the next second.
He looked down at Adrienne's head jutting out from his waist, and reached out to massage it. "Okay, whatever you say. We'll beat him up once we land."
Now that Jefferson had calmed down, Adrienne could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, she did not expect that Johan would reignite the fire that Adrienne had just extinguished by saying, "Mr. Hefner, do you know what Sierra is to me?"
Jefferson turned back and looked at Johan, his face spilling fury. "She didn't have a good eye for people in the past and that's why she had fallen for you but from now on, she will have nothing to do with a piece of sh*t like you anymore."
"Sierra is my legally wedded wife." Johan still had a faint smile on his face as he spoke nonchalantly, "As long as I don't agree to the divorce, she will never be able to rid herself of being Mrs. Silas."
"Let's see if I can get rid of you then," said Jefferson with a sneer.
Johan continued, "The Yard family is pretty powerful, and you yourself are a well established man. I may not be as powerful as you, but why don't you ask Sierra what tricks she'd pulled to get me to marry her in the first place?"
Beholding Johan's arrogant attitude, Jefferson was tempted to punch him again. However, he didn't want to cause any danger to the flight so he held himself back and said, "She was blind back then."
"No matter what the reason was at the beginning, it is true that she is my wife now. Speaking of which, I am your cousin-in-law after all. Shouldn't you at least be a little more polite to me?" Johan's provocation was apparent, as if he was deliberately trying to goad Jefferson.
"Cousin- in- law?" Jefferson raised his arm and swung his fist to hit Johan. Fortunately, Adrienne managed to stop him in time.
Adrienne shook her head at him and said, "We mustn't act impulsively now. I'll join you to beat him up after we get off the plane, okay?"
Swallowing his anger, Jefferson returned to his seat.
Johan didn't stir up any more trouble either. Instead, he shut his eyes to rest.
Alexis, who was seated beside, breathed a sigh of relief and took a glance at Johan.
Johan was never a person who liked to whip up trouble, and he was never that talkative too. What had gotten into him that day? Alexis wondered.
He even dared to challenge the infamous Jefferson repeatedly.
It was always said that a woman's mind was hard to read but as Alexis perceived, it seemed like Johan was even more undecipherable.
Almost three hours later.
The plane finally arrived at Chatterton Town International Airport safely.
As soon as the plane landed, Jefferson immediately turned on his phone and dialed Sierra's number. "Sierra, if anyone dares to threaten you, make sure you let me know immediately, okay? If you dare to keep things to yourself again, just wait and see what I'll do to you."
It was obvious that he was worried about Sierra but it didn't sound that way with the words he used.
Sierra, who was on the other side of the phone, was a little confused, but she was a smart person after all. She soon realized that it was likely that Jefferson had met Johan on the plane.
She said, "Jeff, I'll deal with Johan myself. You don't have to worry about me."
"You're my cousin. How can I just stand by and watch you get taken advantage of?"
Sierra advised patiently, "There's no such thing as that when it comes to relationships. It's between the two of us. It won't be good for an outsider to intervene. What's more, there's nothing you can do anyway."
"An outsider?" Jefferson was hurt by Sierra's words. "Sierra, am I just an outsider to you? Is Johan your family then?"
"That's not what I meant, Jeff." Sierra knew that Jefferson was trying to protect her, but a man's way of doing things was different from a woman's.
He wanted to help her get even, but she did not want to make the situation worse. She explained, "Fine. Then let me ask you. If there were anything going on between you and Adrienne, you would definitely find a way to deal with it yourself. Would you have let us meddle with your matters?"
"Don't compare your affairs with ours." Although he refuted her, he had to admit that what Sierra said made sense.
"Yes, I know you two love each other, unlike us. But that's the truth. Jefferson, listen to me, don't worry about me. Let me have my last bit of dignity, please." Sierra sighed, "I don't want to have an ugly breakup. I don't want to carry all this emotional baggage into my next relationship."
"Do you really think so?" Jefferson did not really believe her.
"If not, what? Do you think I would be so shameless as to hurl myself at a man and embarrass myself all over again?" Sierra let out a wry laugh. "Do you have no faith in me at all?"
In fact, she had already decided to move on the moment she heard Johan saying those words. She told herself that she would never be such a fool for any man ever again.
Especially for that man named Johan.
Not only would she be stupid but completely hopeless too if she ended up getting involve with him again.
She was not such a fool.
Having heard Sierra's words, Jefferson was finally relieved. He looked sideways at Johan, before taking Adrienne's hand and leaving. "Let's go home, Little Specky."
Since Sierra had already given up on him, there was no need for him to pay that huge annoying jerk any mind.
"Okay." Adrienne followed Jefferson happily.
Before that, she was worried that Jefferson would actually thrash Johan around once they got off the plane but it turned out that such worry was for nothing.
It seemed that Jeff had also grown up.
"He's matured!" Adrienne thought.
