Chapter: 1232

Cade was a criminal, known for his extensive illicit dealings and ruthless acts. How could Norah be linked to such a character?

Upon hearing the involvement of a drug dealer, Amy's concern deepened what could they possibly do if even the police were powerless?

Nora, less familiar with Cade, received a phone from Sean displaying Cade's profile. The image showed a harsh face marred by a long scar, exuding malevolence.

Despite her shock, she took the phone and diligently read through the provided information.

The black phone was devoid of any protective casing as it rested in Nora's hand, still holding traces of Sean's warmth.

Nora composed herself and quickly read the words, only to discover a humorously pleading message. “Nora, accept me into your friends?"

Accompanied by a pleading emoji, the message's charming naivety starkly contrasted with the usual persona of Sean.

Nora, puzzled by the incongruity, handed the phone back to Sean with an amused glance.

Observing her expression, Sean was puzzled. When he read the last sentence, he couldn't suppress a grin, delighted by the message that had intrigued Nora.

He had permitted Susanna to review Cade's details provided by T just moments before. Observing Nora's interest, he promptly offered the phone to her after Susanna returned it to him.

In Susanna's eyes sparkled a hint of pride, to which Sean could only respond with a smile of resignation.

Nora then gestured to Amy and proposed, “Let's head back and rest. There's no point in staying here any longer."

As they got ready to leave, Nora was at a loss about how to relay the day's peculiar events to her fiancé later.

Cade's background was so formidable that they couldn't easily provoke him.

Amy, quickly grasping the severity of their predicament, rolled her eyes at the organizer and hurried off with Nora before Joanna could request Nora's contact details.

Thus, the backstage area was silent.

The organizer followed Sallie to the police station.

Joanna, lacking local support, had to rely solely on Sean to stay informed about the latest developments. “Should we just let Cade go so easily?"

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his motives, it was clear that Cade had to be held accountable.

"Of course not," Sean asserted with determination.

He reassured her that, with the collective strength of Sacredice, ensuring Nora's safety and neutralizing any threats would be handled with ease, regardless of the adversary’ power.

Joanna felt comforted by his promise.

Meanwhile, in a dark cell within the police station, Sallie endured a nightmarish experience. An intruder, masked and silent, slipped into her cell and began to torture her with a tiny blade, meticulously targeting her fingertips. Her anguished screams echoed through the corridors, yet no rescuer appeared.

Returning to Nora's hotel room, Amy suggested, “Let's plan to head back after the performance."
