The fuel on the plane was limited. The plane couldn’t fly for too long. As long as the members of the organization were not determined to die, they were safe.
Although Hazel was tired, she was sleepless in that terrible situation.
The bodyguards waited at the door. Dave, the driver, babbled on with a sullen face.
Hazel was more than ten meters away from Dave, so she could not hear what he was muttering.
“How could I be so unlucky?”
The chance of encountering a hijack was less than winning a lottery. However, it happened to them. Dave thought he was cursed with bad luck.
Dave knew something would happen to him. He would either be alive or dead
Feeling upset, Dave knelt on the carpet and folded his hands.
He prayed, “God, please bless me. Let me be safe and sound. I haven’t married and seen my children yet.”
Dave repeated with sincerity.
Hazel did not know what Dave was doing. She turned to look at Baron. It was reasonable that the Floyd Group could control the economics of Magemoor. Its employee was unusual.
“We are nearer to God. Louder, and God will hear you.”
Baron opened his eyes, and his eyes glittered.
“You are right.”
Dave closed his eyes and continued to pray devoutly and loudly. Hazel heard what Dave was saying. She twitched her mouth and smiled stiffly. At a vital moment, Dave was thinking about something unreal. Hazel didn’t know what she should say.
Dave’s behavior made the tension drop away. Hazel realized that she hadn’t drunk water for a long time, and her mouth felt dry.
“There are several bottles of champagne in the cabinet on the bottom right.”
Besides the cold water from the bathroom, there was no water.
Hearing that, Dave stood up immediately and ran to the cabinet.
Baron never took ordinary champagne with him. It was Champagne Piper-Heidsieck Shipwrecked 1907.
It was a batch of champagne instead of a brand.
Dave held one of the bottles of champagne in his arms carefully. Hazel watched him with doubt.
“Piper-Heidsieck Shipwrecked.”
Dave raised his head and despised Hazel for being ignorant. He forgot how painful he had been when he knew the value of champagne.
There were only two thousand bottles of Piper-Heidsieck in total. They had been about to be transported to Russia for the Russian Emperor and the royal family members.
In 1916, the ship carrying the champagne was torpedoed by a German submarine. It was not until more than 80 years later that the champagne on the shipwreck was salvaged in the Gulf of Finland.
Later on, the champagne was auctioned around the world. It became precious champagne with a historical significance.
Baron liked the taste of Piper-Heidsieck accumulated over the years. He had been to the auctions many times for the Shipwrecked.
Dave explained to show off his knowledge.
Finally, Dave pouted his lips and said with a smile, “This bottle of champagne is over 270 thousand dollars.”
Baron bought five or six bottles of champagne each time. With all the money he bought the champagne, he could buy a large and spacious house in City J.
However, there was only a temporary pleasure after drinking the champagne. And then, nothing else would be left.
Rich people paid much attention to enjoyment. Hazel could not understand them. After all, she could not even afford a house. To buy a house and settle down was her greatest wish.
If Hazel had a house, she could take care of her parents in it. The astronomical price of a bottle of champagne was enough for a big house in City J.
Staring at the liquid in the glass, Hazel was in silence.
Hazel thought it would be like gulping a bedroom or living room if she quaffed the champagne. She had never enjoyed that experience.
Dave held his glass and walked to a corner. He was intoxicated.
As Baron’s driver, Dave could usually get a lot of benefits.
Although Dave was a hick, he had seen much of life. And he looked down on nouveau riches.
Whenever there was a nouveau riche, Dave would be angry and complain that there were too many people with money but few people with taste.
Great men’s sons seldom do well. It was a curse.
The Floyds were different. They had started to make a name hundreds of years ago. However, there were no other descendants. Baron was the only one who inherited the wealth of the Floyd family.
Baron liked the Piper-Heidsieck Shipwrecked the most. He rarely shared it with others.
Dave felt that he had taken advantage of the chance. He had enjoyed the best champagne before he was killed by Plum Blossom.
Baron shook his glass gracefully. He changed from an indifferent president to a noble prince.
Hazel twitched her mouth. She seldom drank and didn’t know how to appreciate the champagne.
When the Piper-Heidsieck entered her stomach through her throat, she felt warm immediately as if she was in a wonderful world.
The Shipwrecked was unique because it had slept underwater for nearly a hundred years.
In the cabin, the aroma of the champagne was lingering.
Hazel narrowed her eyes. The champagne was telling her a story about the amazement after a century of loneliness.
“There are only two thousand bottles of champagne in the world. I wonder how many more there are.”
After Dave finished the champagne in his glass, he stared at the bottle and felt embarrassed to have more.
The more people drank, the less champagne was left. And it was unique, so it was so precious.
Few people were qualified and had the opportunity to taste the champagne. The rest of the champagne might be in the hands of a collector, treated like a treasure.
Hazel was not good at drinking. After drinking some champagne, she felt dizzy.
She rubbed her forehead and looked at Baron beside her.
Baron’s wrist suspended in the air, and he looked out the window at the darkness. Hazel didn’t know what he was thinking.
His mind was more profound than the sea.
Plum Blossom seemed to be an acquaintance of Baron. What had happened between them?
Plum Blossom had fallen in love with Baron, but he didn’t love her, so she was filled with resentment and became a devil.
It was the stuff in TV dramas and novels.
Hazel looked at Baron’s side face carefully. Baron’s eyelashes were long, but they were not as soft as that of women. He had thick eyebrows and a prominent nose.
Hazel believed a man like Baron must be heartless and cold-blooded.
Plum Blossom was foolish to be fascinated with Baron even though he was wealthy.
Hazel thought she would have no more relationship with Baron because they were different.
It was true that money could solve many problems, but money couldn’t buy true love.
Hazel had never expected her to be Cinderella and marry a wealthy man. Cinderella was also a noble. However, Hazel knew she was someone who was running around for life.
Suddenly, Hazel missed Bruce, the only person she had a crush on in her four years at the university. She liked his warm smile and gentle manner.
