Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 233:

The deafening sound of a gunshot shattered the silence. Jack’s trusted subordinate clutched his chest, collapsing with a look of sheer disbelief in his eyes. Jack inwardly cursed, “Damn it!”

As the bullet neared Norah, the man next to her swiftly kicked Jack’s trusted subordinate over to intercept it, sparing her.

Norah swiftly drew another firearm from her waist, her gaze fixed on Jack with lethal intent. “Thanks, darling!” she said to Sean.

As Jack’s trusted subordinate spoke, Norah had sensed Jack’s attempt to hurt her. Even without Sean’s intervention, she could still manage to evade the bullet and fight back.

Observing Jack’s persistent defiance, a cold smile played on Norah’s lips. She had vowed to make him suffer a slow demise, refusing to let him have his way.

With her aim steady on Jack, Norah acted swiftly, disabling his other hand and leg with precise shots before he could even flinch. “Let those marked for death wait silently on the sidelines.”

Jack writhed in agony as the bullets seared through him, sweat beading on his forehead.

Rising as the leader of all troublemakers in the East Zone, Jack had never prepared himself for such humiliation. He belatedly realized he shouldn’t have helped Jimena since his help had dragged him and his crew into a conflict with someone they had no business provoking.
