With a face full of anger, Eileen said to Donald, “Donald, no matter what, you can't resort to violence. Do you understand that the moment you lay a hand, the whole situation changes?”
This time, all she really wanted from her flight was for nothing to happen; she just wished to arrive safely in Pollerton.
Who would have known that Donald would stir up such a fuss? She really didn't know what to do.
“Do you also think I shouldn't be arguing with that child?”
Eileen shot Donald a look and responded, “Of course, I didn't mean that. As flight attendants, our duty is to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of every passenger on the plane. We can't show any favoritism to Bailey just because she is a Diamond Card member. But even so, your behavior was way out of line.”
Actually, Eileen wanted to say that the way the flight attendants, Francine and Vanda, handled things was incorrect.
However, considering they were all her colleagues, she spoke in a more tactful manner.
Knowing that Eileen was on his side, Donald immediately broke into a wide smile.
He said to Eileen, “There are many people in this world who are just like that. Reasoning and politeness won't work with them. You have to show them your strength and make them suffer a loss. Only then will they know not to continue behaving this way in the future.”
Just as Donald was speaking, another black object came hurtling toward his head.
He tilted his head to dodge swiftly.
The black object slammed into the iron plate ahead with a loud clang, giving Eileen quite a start.
Upon closer inspection, Eileen realized that what was thrown at them was not something else but the gunstock.
So it turned out that the little boy, Rufus, had seen Donald bullying his mother earlier. Now, he was seizing the opportunity to get back at Donald while he wasn't paying attention.
Donald was infuriated by that black gunstock.
One should know that this gunstock was made of high-strength plastic.
Although being hit on the head with this plastic won't be fatal, it would still hurt quite a bit.
Donald, having stood up, walked straight toward Rufus.
