Chapter: 1300

Marlin, aware that Sean had no desire to confront Dolores, had been summoned to handle the situation.

Following her surgery, Dolores had been overt in her presence around Marlin, likely hoping he would transfer his affections to her amid Norah's absence.

Previously, a misunderstanding had led Marlin to view Dolores as his rescuer, giving her the wrong impression.

She believed he was attracted to Norah's face.

In reality, it was the sense of security that Norah provided which he cherished.

Marlin's countenance was shadowed by anger. Embarrassed before Sean, he felt a deep displeasure.

"I'll take care of the situation with Dolores. I promise she won't trouble Norah again."

Marlin had never expected Dolores would dare attempt to endanger Norah's life.

If not for Sean's timely intervention, Norah could have been dead.

Marlin resolved to address this oversight personally.

“Alright, Marlin, hold to your promise."

Sean remained indifferent to Marlin's feelings towards Dolores. His priority was ensuring Norah's safety.

With the documents in hand, Marlin departed, and Sean felt confident that Marlin would handle the situation effectively.

Meanwhile, Elsa had reached Silverdale with the men dispatched by her father and they made their way to Concord Hospital.

“Use any means necessary. There's just one objective: eliminate Norah. The reward is 500, 000 dollars for whoever succeeds."

Elsa, with a nonchalance that belied the gravity of her words, decided Norah's fate.

She anticipated a swift conclusion to the affair. The bedridden Norah was defenseless, and the few bodyguards at the door seemed hardly a deterrent.

Elsa then settled into a five-star hotel, awaiting the outcome of her directive.

Two days drifted by without any headway.

“Miss Wilson, the security around the target's ward is extremely tight. Even doctors entering for checkups are heavily questioned and searched. We simply can't find an opening."

"Useless!"

Elsa's fury boiled over as she hurled a glass cup to the floor, her exquisite features contorted with rage.

She had envisioned a leisurely and enjoyable time while orchestrating Norah's demise. She had expected quick results, but the delay was exasperating.

The men were visibly troubled. It wasn't for lack of desire for the 500,000 dollars; they simply couldn't find the opportunity to strike.
