The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 493

Still fuming, Linda ordered a drink not long after takeoff. When the stewardess left, she hid the cup behind her back and started striding straight toward Celeste.

Lilian had already guessed she might try something. Before Linda even got close, she noticed and frowned, giving her a subtle shake of the head.

But Linda, unwilling to swallow her anger, pressed on. Lilian's expression hardened—she quietly sent a text. "Go back to your seat."

Though she hadn't raised her voice, Linda could practically hear the finality in her aunt's tone.

Sitting between them, Patricia caught on as well, patting Linda's hand in warning.

Linda pouted, brimming with resentment, but in the Shaws and the Lockets, Lilian and Wynn had the final say. She had long since learned not to cross them.

So, after one last glare in Celeste's direction, she turned back and sat down, sulking.

Jordyn, unaware of what had nearly happened, didn't notice a thing.

By the time the plane landed in Baumond, she couldn't wait to run over. "Mom!"

Celeste stroked her daughter's cheek. "Were you good during the flight?"

"Yes!" Jordyn replied proudly.

Their seats were just across the aisle from the Shaws.

Lilian turned at the sound of Jordyn's voice, her gaze cold. Patricia, Linda, and even Erin behind them all glanced over as well.

Jordyn looked up mid-conversation and accidentally met Lilian's eyes. Lilian immediately looked away, her face impassive.

Jordyn didn't recognize her—or the other elders—only Wynn and Linda.

So, when she caught that chill in Lilian's eyes, she simply took it as the look of a stranger and thought nothing more of it.

After disembarking, Celeste and Ivan led their group out first. Watching their figures disappear, Linda couldn't hold it in anymore. "Aunt Lizzy, Grandma—are we really just going to let her bully us like this? Why should we?"

Lilian's tone was flat. "It's only for now. She won't be gloating for long."
