Chapter 731
Chapter 731:
It was truly unfortunate. After all, Kenny was an outstanding pilot.
Minna looked at Kenny, concern etched in her expression. “What did your dad say p>
Kenny gave a slow shake of his head. “Not much to hold on to. Looks like I’ll be flying commercial jets from now on p>
At that moment, a sleek black car came to a stop at the foot of the steps. Elsa got out of the car, her expression a storm of anger and urgency as she strode toward them. “Ethan won’t withdraw the complaint?” she asked.
Emmett emerged from the vehicle, clad in a pristine military uniform that emphasized his imposing presence. His face bore a grave expression, laced with a hint of anger.
The precise tailoring of his attire and the insignia on his shoulder immediately demanded deference from the four receptionists at the Mitchell Group’s reception desk. Though they were familiar with Elsa and Minna, and had recently encountered Kenny, they had never met Emmett and were unaware of his identity.
Two male receptionists approached Emmett with cautious respect, their voices polite yet inquisitive. “Good afternoon, sir. May we have your name and the reason for your visit p>
They speculated that this formidable officer might be Elsa’s husband and Ethan’s father, but neither ventured to presume, wary of a potential misstep. Emmett’s reply was sharp and cold, his tone dripping with superiority. “You don’t have the right to ask my identity p>
Most guests at the Mitchell Group showed respect toward the reception staff, including billionaires who arrived to meet Ethan. This was due to a straightforward truth—Ethan, as the wealthiest man in the world, overshadowed all others in stature and influence.
The two male receptionists tensed at Emmett’s words, their faces clouding with displeasure. They rarely encountered such arrogance. Despite the military garb, they stood firm, blocking Emmett’s path.
Behind them, the two female receptionists murmured, speculating on Emmett’s identity. One quickly dialed Neville.
“Sir, we must ask for your identification,” one of the male receptionists stated resolutely. “Without it or a scheduled appointment, we cannot permit entry.” Earlier, they had made the mistake of allowing Kenny to bypass protocol, and now, despite Emmett’s military uniform, they were determined not to repeat it.

Emmett’s frustration deepened, but conscious of the decorum his uniform demanded, he restrained himself from pushing through forcibly. Grudgingly, he said, “I’m Ethan Mitchell’s father. I’m here to see him p>
Elsa stepped forward, snapping at the two receptionists, “How dare you stop the CEO’s father from entering? Step aside p>
The two male receptionists had no choice but to step aside, watching as the group of four entered the elevator.
One male receptionist glanced at his female colleague. “Did you inform the secretary’s office of this p>
She nodded. “I just called Neville p>
On the top floor, Neville set down the phone and hurried into Ethan’s office, his face etched with urgency. “Mr. Mitchell, your parents, Kenny, and Minna are on their way up. They’ll be here soon p>
