Then, how sad that she is not the princess in the story but the third party. In the end, True Love prevails.
Setting aside the thought, if the servants did not see her leave. She would not learn that Ivy escaped from the hospital last night, and John rushed over to search for her.
God, that was very painful, even if she and John had already broken up. How much if she insisted on staying by his side, throwing herself at John till the end?
Then, she is just a hindrance for John to win over Ivy's heart once she moves on in the future and forgets her husband, Jay.
Contemplating, Carmen could not stop welling up throughout the flight. Gladly no one would notice her crying; otherwise, it would embarrass other passengers. Good thing that she booked the first-class cabin.

T City International Airport
Carmen is following the crowd, heading to the exit. She stops in her tracks upon recognizing the two gorgeous men waiting at her outside the airport.
At that moment, she wanted to cry again. She only contacted her younger brother, but Rob was also picking her up. It moved her how thoughtful this big brother of hers was.
"Sister Carmen!" Ricky is waving both of his arms to make sure she sees them.
Ricky Dawson is the youngest among the three. He had just graduated from college and is under Rob's supervision to manage their coffee business, which was successful in importing.
"Thank you for picking me up! Let's go, guys!" Carmen concealed the sadness in her eyes, not for Ricky to see them. However, judging by how Rob was staring at her, he seemed to know already that she and John had broken up.
"Where do you want to go from here?" Rob asked Carmen when they all settled in the car.
"Any place would do..." Carmen forced herself to show a cheerful smile and Ricky notice nothing at all.
"Oh, are we not going straight home?" Ricky queried. He was seated in the front seat.
"I think Carmen would prefer to go hiking," said Rob, looking in the rearview mirror while he was driving.
Carmen smiled, delighted how her big brother knew her well. Having a few days of vacation after a heartbreak would really help. Besides, she could not face her parents for now and told them she and John had broken up.
Still, she didn't want John to leave a bad impression on her parents. It just happened she could not make him fall in love with her.
"Thank you, Rob," said Carmen afterward.
"It's unfair! I didn't pack anything! You guys should tell me ahead of time!"
"Vincent, it's me, Rob. This is my new personal number. When do you plan to end Samuel Miller? He keeps giving me a headache."
Rob actually had a big problem in the company, but Carmen's feelings are most important to him. Even though he has to solve the matter in the company as soon as possible, he chooses to cheer his sister by bringing her on a camping trip before anything else. Now that they are back from vacation.
"I am preparing my flight to visit T Country. Don't worry. I'm coming to discuss it personally." Vincent assured Rob.
The issue regarding the Dawson Oil Company is not a small matter. So Vincent will deal with it personally. Also, his visit to T Country would strengthen his alliance. Keeping the Dawson family on his side would greatly impact his international territories.
"For now, we have to bear everything," Vincent added. "Our enemy is taking careful steps. We have to be patient, too."
"Okay. I'll wait until then. By the way, I have a perfect place for you to stay. The princess actually loves the place."
Rob already figured out that Vincent's visit was a secret. So, he needs to prepare the lodge for Vincent to stay where no one would know.

Davies Group, Dream City
Office of the Chairman
Vincent put down his phone after Rob ended his call. He was resting for a moment when it rang again.
"Hello, John?"
"Hey, are you going to attend the hearing?" asked John on the other line.
"No. Dad Fred and Dad Jacob would be there. I am scheduled to visit T Country next week. Are you..." Vincent paused. He was about to ask John to join him. He had forgotten that John and Carmen had broken up already. "Well, never mind."
On the other line, John senses that Vincent is about to ask him to join him in visiting the Dawson family, which is impossible since he broke up with Carmen.
"Alright. That's all, Vincent... I'll see your dad and Uncle Jacob. Have a safe trip then."
"Same to you... Thanks."
John hung up the call and resumed his work. That evening, he received a call from Samuel Miller.
"Any news?" asked the man on the other line.
"I have. Uncle Jacob and Frederick Shen will attend the trial."
"How about Vincent? Is he not going to attend the court hearing?"
"No. He is flying to T Country."
Samuel grinned. "Good."
John heaves a long sigh after Samuel ends the call. He rubbed his temple, then leaned back on his chair.
"A little more, and everything will end soon." He muttered to himself.
