Being interrupted, Trevor's face turned grim.
“Listen, | wasn’t referring to you. You're not the one | wanted to thank!”
Mortified by this revelation, all the color in Kristy’s face disappeared.
Unconcerned for her feelings, Trevor cleared his throat and smiled to the audience again.
“Let's invite the real heroes, Loraine Torres and

Silence enveloped the room when he finished talking. The media personnel and the rest of the audience were so
shocked that their mouths were Left agape and their eyes were wide open.
It wasn’t until Loraine and Marco rose and approached the stage that the reality of the situation sank in.
Exclamations and camera shutters filled the air as spotlights whirled around the room.
Those watching the Live broadcast erupted in a frenzy of comments of varying reactions.
“What happened? Weren't Loraine Torres and Marco Bryant bullying the flight attendant in first class because
they were rich and powerful?
How could they possibly be the heroes who saved the plane?”
“Who could be the real liar here? Has Kristy been feeding us Lies?”
Trevor raised his hand to silence the excited crowd.
“Listen up, everyone. | know you've been bombarded with rumors online recently. As a police officer, it’s my duty
to reveal the truth about the incident and set the record straight for the real heroes!”
He recounted how Marco and Loraine bravely fought against five armed hijackers, saving the passengers and
staff from harm.

His voice was powerful and charged with emotion, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
The police chief vouching for Loraine and Marco held far more weight than Kristy’s claims. Not long after,

Her face drained of color, Kristy stammered in a panic, “I...I played a part in the rescue too! If | hadn't led two of
the hijackers to first class, how could they have been subdued so easily?”
A reporter shot back, “Then why did Marco Bryant accuse you?”
Kristy rolled her eyes, replying, “That incident occurred before the hijacking. It was all a misunderstanding.”
Loraine scoffed, “Are you certain you were assisting with the rescue?
