Chapter 93:

Sean pulled up a chair and sat by the bed, extending his hand to brush strands of Norah’s hair from her face and gently tucking them behind her ears.

As he watched her, his mind began to recall all of their encounters. Beyond the radiant energy Norah had exuded when they first met, she always seemed to be in distress during every other encounter they shared. She had battled through a cold, been chased after, and even been stabbed. She had undoubtedly been through a lot.

He couldn’t help but think that, despite everything, she was fortunate to have met him.

“Sleep tight. I’ll find out who hurt you and help you get your revenge,” Sean whispered softly, his promise clear in his husky voice as he gazed at Norah lying on the bed.

Meanwhile, Kathy, furious, was on the phone. “What? You didn’t succeed? Fine, I might as well treat the deposit loss! Don’t call me again or get involved in any way! Just get lost!” she snapped, disconnecting the call.

“Madeline, I’m so angry! I paid them two hundred thousand dollars, and they still failed! Do you think Norah will be with us if she finds out?”

Madeline, unfazed, continued with her manicure, lightly blowing dust off her nails. “Why are you so scared? Does she have any proof? Does she even suspect we planned all of this? You know, that gang isn’t very notorious, and only a few people are involved. Norah won’t know about them.”

Kathy’s eyelids fluttered as she thought it over. “You’re right. But Norah has incredible luck. Over twenty people chased her, and she still managed to escape. At least they injured her… that eases my frustration a little bit.”

With Joanna’s support, Norah had verbally and physically confronted Kathy. Kathy, holding onto the grudge, was desperate for revenge.

Although the people she hired had failed in their attempt, they had managed to injure Norah, which somewhat alleviated Kathy’s fury.

“Madeline, I heard that the Scott family is hosting an auction next week. Did the Carter family receive an invitation?” Kathy suddenly remembered the most important detail, slapping her forehead. “One invitation allows one person and a companion to enter. It seems that all the prestigious families in Glophia have received invitations.”

Madeline replied casually, “Derek told me about it. I’ll be attending the auction as his companion.”
