Chapter: 1028

"It's been trailing us for twenty minutes, persistently close behind.”

Initially, he assumed it was merely coincidental, with the van coincidentally traveling in the same direction. However, as it repeatedly refused to overtake them and continued to tail closely, the driver's suspicions grew.

Norah caught sight of the van mentioned by the driver in the rearview mirror, finding its presence indeed peculiar.

"It's alright. Let's proceed to the hotel."

Glancing at the elegant woman beside him, the driver quipped, “You're quite the beauty. Are you a celebrity? Perhaps the paparazzi are tailing you?"

Norah couldn't suppress a laugh. "No, just disregard it."

In modern times, there was a common assumption that attractive individuals were predominantly affiliated with the entertainment industry.

The hotel was just a fifteen-minute drive from the hospital. Norah had gone for dinner before heading back to the hotel. She only noticed the van persistently tailing her on the route to the hotel.

Norah's gaze fixated on the rearview mirror, where the persistent presence of the van remained evident.

There was no way that this group of people could have been sent by Hank.

Professional killers would operate unnoticed in public settings.

They would operate like phantoms in the darkness, swiftly extinguishing lives without a trace.

Norah wondered who wanted her dead. It appeared she hadn't incurred anyone's ire since her arrival in Silverdale.

Could this be the retaliation of those men she had encountered outside the Cloud Club? outside the Cloud Club?

Gerry placed the documents on the desk, saying, "Mr. Boyd, these individuals attempted to assault Miss Wilson outside Cloud Club. And Barney Larson was the leader of the group."

Marlin appeared visibly fatigued.

Three days had elapsed since his last meeting with Norah. Awakening from a drunken stupor, Dolores had informed him that Norah had enticed him and made advances even in the presence of Lola.

Marlin faintly remembered a beautiful woman lying beneath him, gazing at him tranquility, and then forcibly moving him aside.

That was the unvarnished truth.

Despite the passing days, he could still vividly recall the woman's visage, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

Marlin read through the documents, then tossed them on the desk.

"They're just a bunch of idiots. Did they truly believe they held power? Ridiculous." I believe you know how to handle them."

Gerry had been anticipating this, and already had a solution in mind.

"I would contact their companies' executives and have all of them, including their senior leaders, fired."
