Chapter: 1368

“I didn't tell you because you were recovering. I can explain everything."

She and Phillip were just about to leave when he got a message from Frank. Marlene had shown up and was stirring trouble in front of Norah, which upset her.

Susanna had encountered Marlene herself once and had even told her off. Now, it seemed Marlene was quite audacious, trying to win her brother's heart.

How dare Marlene come here to see Sean on the very day Norah returned!

Susanna had assumed Marlene would keep a low profile and refrain from causing any issues, so she had disregarded Marlene from her mind.

That was a clear error!

"Norah, please don't be upset. Let us go inside and I will explain to you."

Chayce and his crew hadn't shown up yet. Norah punched in the code on the keypad and entered the manor.

"Let's talk inside. But just so you are aware, I'm not upset. She isn't worth the bother."

Every word Marlene spoke seemed directed at her as if she was trying to convince her there was something between her and Sean.

What truly bothered her was Sean keeping Marlene so close, giving her free reign over his manor. Given time, who knew what might develop between them?

Holding onto Phillip's hand, Susanna followed Norah into the manor.

It had been a long time since her last visit. She even had her room here.

She glanced around, absorbing the look of the manor.

"Nothing's changed. It's exactly as I remember it."

“Before returning, I had my assistant arrange for someone to tidy up, or else the house would be covered in dust," Norah said while walking. “I want it to be exactly how it was when I get back.”

Gilda headed to the kitchen, filled a few glasses with water, and placed them on the table. Then they all settled on the sofa.

"I'll start. That woman..."

Susanna laid it all out plainly. "That's everything I know. That woman is trying to seduce my brother. But, Norah, you need to trust me-he has nothing to do with her."

Susanna's anger was clear, but she was certain Sean was innocent.

"Phillip, what do you think?" she inquired.

"Miss Wilson, what I know is exactly what Susanna said-Mr. Scott just helped that woman out. Nothing more," Phillip stated.

Norah sipped her water slowly. "There's no need for you to explain. I'll wait for him to tell me himself."

Now that they were both in Glophia, she decided to hear his explanation face-to-face.
