Chapter 209 - 209: Danger On The Way

Benjamin said, "I have asked Albert to buy me a ticket yesterday. You know, I have no money. If I don't go with Albert, I will have to go back on foot."

Sophia was surprised.

She didn't find that Benjamin was so cheap. He knew that Albert was rich and didn't care about a penny. But, isn't his father an internationally renowned detective? How could he be so poor?

Albert walked into Bridget's room with Sophia and said, "You must have heard about Mr. Cooper, haven't you? I have contacted someone to pick us up at the airport. As soon as we arrive at the airport, we will be sent to the hospital."

Bridget's eyes were wet, "My dad… He was fine before we came. Victor made an appointment with him that he would show him the pictures we took here. He was quite excited then. It's only been a few days, but he…"

Victor was confused, "Mom, why are you crying? All the photos are on the camera. I can print them out and show them to grandpa when we get home. Is grandpa angry that we didn't bring him?"

Bridget didn't tell Victor about Mr. Cooper's illness. Even if she did, Victor was too young to understand it.

She wiped her tears and forced a smile, "You're right, baby. Grandpa will be pleased to see your beautiful photos, and he will feel like he was here himself."

When Sophia got out with Albert, she suddenly dragged Albert into her room and closed the door.

Albert was surprised, "What's wrong?"

Sophia frowned and said, "I think there might be a danger on the way. If Mr. Cooper is dying, what is he calling Victor back for? It must be about the will. So, what do you think George will do?"

Albert blurted out, "You mean, he will..."

Sophia nodded, "Yes. He had always wanted to hurt Victor. As you can see from Beck's thing, he's meticulous. We got Beck, but we couldn't get him to talk. Yes, Beck was paid and he was willing to go to jail for George when he was caught. Now, if Victor returns to Lands City, George's legacy dream will be shattered. So…"

Albert got nervous. "He might try to do it on the way back. It's his last chance. On the plane… If he dares to ask someone to do it on the plane, he won't get away with it."

"Oh, I'm talking about the worst case. Will he be that crazy? I'm not sure. But we have to protect Victor and keep him in sight all the way. Knives are not allowed on the plane, but Victor is a kid. The killer doesn't need any weapons to deal with him," said Sophia.

Albert frowned and said, "Well, can Grey tell his father to announce the will in advance? In this way, it will be useless for George to kill Victor. Grey will inherit the inheritance anyway. If so, he may not try to hurt Victor."

Sophia shook her head, "The old man is so sick now. If you tell him about it, he will be so pissed that he might not make it to see Victor back. Besides, we have no proof that George did any of these things. Maybe George won't be able to find someone willing to work for him. Let's be vigilant. It should be safe."

She was more than enough to protect a child from a gangster. After all, the killer could not carry weapons on the plane. She was confident about her power. What's more, there were air police and staff on the plane. A few gangsters would not be a problem.

Ryan would also leave with Albert. He wanted to stay here for a few more days, but to show his loyalty, he decided to go with his boss.

Benjamin had received the flight information before, and had packed early and was waiting to go to the airport.

Ryan helped Sophia and Bridget to carry the luggage to the taxi. Albert had arranged everything. Sophia, Bridget, and Victor sat in the back seat, and Albert sat in the passenger seat while Ryan and Benjamin were in another taxi.

Benjamin was unhappy, "I don't want to sit with a man, Albert. How about you sit with my sister and I sit with this beauty? I love kids. How old are you, little man?"

Victor timidly hid behind Bridget and whispered, "Mom, he is weird..."

Benjamin was speechless.

Weird? He was kind, all right?

Ryan frowned, "Do you think I love to sit with a man? I also want to sit with beauty… Come on. Get in the car. You take the passenger seat, and I'll sit in the back. I won't be next to you."

Sophia just ignored the two and told the driver to go to the airport after everyone sat well. Benjamin had no choice but to get in another taxi.

The two taxis set out at the same time and arrived at the airport soon.

As soon as Sophia got out of the car, she took Victor's hand and smiled, "Darling, do you want to be with me? I love you so much."

Victor gave a sweet smile, "Yeah. I love you, Sophia. You're the prettiest girl."

Sophia loved Victor. Bridget taught him well. Victor was a well-bred child.

When they got on the plane, Sophia sat opposite Victor and Victor was next to Bridget, who seemed quite nervous. When a stranger passed by, she would look up and look at the person warily as if he or she would hurt Victor.

Sophia could totally understand her. After a few incidents, Bridget was like a startled bird. But days like this would not be that long. After the will was announced, George had no reason to harm victor and would stop the hurting.

Albert bought tickets for the first class. When they came, he bought economy class to save money for Sophia. However, there were too many people in the first class, so it was not easy to guard. One advantage of the first-class was that it was big and with fewer passengers.. If someone got approached, they would notice it right away.
