Chapter 221 It's Not Up to You
Margaret's only concern now was Xena's safety. Regarding Xena transferring all the company's money, she had a different idea."Xena might be trying to make up for our past mistakes. That money never belonged to us originally. Xena must be trying to return it to Raymond. She has really grown up. This is clearly my mistake, yet she has to clean up the mess." As Margaret said this, tears streamed down her face.
Elijah's brother, who was playing a mobile game nearby, said, "What if Xena took the money to enjoy herself?"
As soon as he said that, Margaret scolded him, "Nonsense! Xena never does that!"
Elijah couldn't stand him and sent his brother away. When he returned to the hospital room, everyone was in tense.
If Xena really took the money and ran off to enjoy herself, it would spell disaster for the Sackler Group and make Margaret's life incredibly difficult. Just the thought of this possibility was hard for Margaret to accept.
Meanwhile, the kidney transplant surgery for Luna and Louis was scheduled for three days later. After completing all the necessary tests, Louis was temporarily discharged from the hospital. He needed to arrange his work within these three days.
With the surgery details confirmed, Paige finally felt at ease. At this moment, Julian sent a message saying that Xena had booked a flight to Arcadia using the fake License.
Upon hearing this, Paige suddenly laughed. "Just as I expected, she really plans to run. We're finally getting close to the truth!"
As she spoke, Paige received the information about Xena's flight booking. It seemed that she didn't need to take any action herself. Just standing by and watching would be enough. Paige quickly passed the news to Margaret.
Margaret, who had just calmed down a bit, received the news and even got the flight information. Upon learning the flight details, Margaret couldn't stay in the hospital. Regardless of Elijah's persuation, Margaret insisted on looking for Xena personally.
In the end, the Trump family had no choice but to accompany Margaret to the airport. Xena had already changed her appearance, looking far from before.
Elijah and Margaret searched the airport for a long time but couldn't find Xena. After the subordinates reported to Paige, Paige couldn't help but laugh. "Give them a hint."
Meanwhile, a commotion broke out at the airport. Xena dressed inconspicuously, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, was almost unrecognizable.
At this moment, a man in a suit suddenly bumped into Xena. She cried out in pain, and the man immediately apologized. The man spoke loudly, "I'm sorry, miss. I wasn't meant to bump into you..."
Before he could finish apologizing, Xena was already impatient. "It's okay," she said, trying to leave quickly.
However, the man blocked her way. "Miss, it's my fault. If you're feeling unwell..."
Xena just wanted to leave quickly and tried to bypass the man again, saying, "I'm fine, please move out of the way."
"I have to be responsible for your health in case that you blame me later."
Xena was very impatient. "I said I'm fine and won't blame you later. Please step aside."
The two started arguing. Soon, a crowd gathered to watch.
Margaret sighed anxiously. "Where is Xena? Why is she going to Arcadia without telling me?"
Elijah, standing beside Margaret, kept comforting her, "Xena will be fine, don't worry."
As he finished speaking, a chaotic scene came into view ahead, with a crowd gathered around, suggesting that something had happened.
Margaret couldn't see anything unusual in the crowd. But Elijah, being tall, immediately spotted the heavily disguised woman who looked like Xena.
Elijah pointed and said, "Xena is over there." He waved, and the Sackler and Trump family bodyguards followed.
Elijah helped Margaret walk over, with the bodyguards clearing a path through the crowd. Margaret immediately saw the disguised Xena.
Seeing Xena, Margaret burst into tears and shouted, "Xena." Xena turned at the familiar voice. Sure enough, she saw Margaret.
In that instant, Xena tried to run, shocking Margaret, who couldn't understand Xena's reaction. But the Sackler and Trump family bodyguards quickly stopped Xena.
Meanwhile, Paige received the news that Xena had been stopped by Margaret. Paige smiled, pleased with the outcome.
Margaret walked over, grabbed Xena's hand, wiped her tears, and asked, "Xena, what are you doing? Why are you going to Arcadia without telling me?"
Xena tried to control her emotions. Xena wasn't sure if Paige had said anything to Margaret. But one thing was clear: Margaret must know about the money she took from the company. But now, she was just asking why she was leaving.
Margaret became anxious about Xena's slience. "Xena, did Paige threaten you? Did she ask us to return the fifty million dollars to Raymond? If so, I'll find a way. Don't be afraid."
As she finished speaking, the airport broadcast announced the boarding call. Xena clenched her fists, trying to stay calm. "I have something urgent to handle. I'll explain when I get back, okay?"
Margaret looked at Xena, then at Elijah, hoping he would help persuade Xena. Just then, a group of men in black suits approached. "Xena, Ms. Elision has some questions need you to help clarify."
As the man spoke, Xena tried to run, but the bodyguards stopped her. The lead bodyguard said to Margaret, "Mrs. Sackler, I'm sure you also curious about the reason Ms. Sackler is in such a hurry to leave the country. Please come with us, and you'll soon have your answers."
Margaret felt a sudden fear. But compared her, Xena's fear was more evident. "I won't go with you. Tell Paige I'm busy and don't have time for her games."
The bodyguard held Xena tightly. "That's not up to you!"
