Chapter: 1259

Kason swiftly downed his glass of wine and flipped it over to show it was empty.

Not to be outdone, Sean grabbed the glass in front of him and followed suit, draining his glass.

"Cheers."

The mood around the table grew more lively under the influence of alcohol.

Bryson, with a curious tone, inquired, “Mr. Scott, what do you require from me?"

Since Susanna's hospital stay, there had been minimal contact between the Andrews and the Scott families.

At business gatherings, Bryson's acknowledgment of Sean was Limited to a mere nod. They rarely exchanged words.

Bryson was even less acquainted with the influential Kason and felt quite intimidated sitting among these two men.

“I simply wanted to share a drink; it's been too long since our last meeting," Sean explained, holding his glass casually and offering a slight smile. “It's been a while since Norah vanished, hasn't it?"

The mention of Norah caused a shift in their expressions.

Bryson quietly took another sip of wine, contemplating that last conversation he'd had with her.

Beside him, Kason's expression grew somber, and he fell silent.

Sean watched the two men carefully, sensing he'd figured something out.

He set his glass down with a deliberate clink, the sound sharply cutting through the silence of the room.

Bryson's heart raced. They had always carefully avoided discussing Norah's disappearance. So why had Sean suddenly summoned them to the Glamour Club to bring her up today?

Could it be...

“Mr. Hayes, I've noticed you've been spending more time in Silverdale rather than Glophia this year," Sean remarked sharply. “Why the frequent visits to Silverdale?"

Kason slowly looked up. “I'm not under the Scott family's employ. My whereabouts are my own business. I'm free to travel wherever I choose."

Sean's lips twisted into a smirk as he idly spun his glass between his fingers.

"Previously, I was too caught up with work to pay much attention to your comings and goings. But a recent trip to Bellfolk had me bump into someone rather unexpected."

Kason's hold on his glass tightened ever so slightly, though he kept his composure, merely sighing inwardly.

Norah had ventured out just once, only to be spotted by the Scott family. Was their encounter truly fated?

Bryson, puzzled, chimed in, "Isn't Bellfolk where Nancy's piano competition was held? Joanna also went there. She came back looking quite rejuvenated. I assumed she'd found herself a boyfriend."

Bryson's words aimed to lighten the mood.
