Chapter 584:

Kristopher’s absence stretched on like an unanswered question. Since his departure overseas, Carrie had immersed herself in recruitment and training, burying the lingering tension beneath the rhythm of her days.

The shooting incident, once a storm of whispers and speculation, had faded from conversation, as though life itself had conspired to forget.

The incident had become a thing of the past.

Melany, however, hadn’t forgotten the fractures beneath the surface. Her health was slowly improving, but the quiet that now blanketed the Norris Mansion unsettled her. One morning, as sunlight filtered through the grand windows, she suggested hosting a family dinner—a gesture meant to soften the lingering tension between Carrie and the family.
