Chapter: 1369

Susanna and Phillip exchanged a helpless glance.

Still, they both felt Sean had it coming.

“Alright, we're heading out now. Norah, please hear my brother out before jumping to conclusions," Susanna pleaded.

Phillip gave Norah a nod. "Miss Wilson, we're leaving."

With that, he and Susanna walked out.

After they left, Gilda asked, frustrated, "Miss Wilson, doesn't it bother you that that woman spoke to you like that?"

Norah calmly sipped her water. “Bothered? Not at all. I've dealt with much worse. Her words are nothing compared to Madeline's."

Norah once despised Madeline more than anyone, but she eventually realized that holding onto resentment was pointless.

She wasn't going to hurt herself over a man. She vowed never to let that happen again.

“How much longer until my parents get here?"

Norah pulled out her phone and saw that her mom had sent a picture from the airport in Glophia. Smiling with relief, she stood up and went upstairs to check the room prepared for them.

She purchased everything for the room and had Chayce help with the decorating. It turned out simple and neat. She nodded, pleased with the result.

If her parents weren't fond of it, there was still time to change the style.

ALL that mattered was making them happy.

At Sean's villa, after Norah walked out with firm determination, the servants huddled quietly in the kitchen, while Frank stood by the door, too afraid to utter a word.

The tension in the house was so thick it was suffocating.

Sean's face was dark, his eyes burning with anger.

Marlene hadn't anticipated that Norah would actually leave without a second glance. Now alone in the room with the furious Sean, she swallowed hard and said gently, "Sean..."

Sean didn't answer her. Instead, he called out sharply, "Frank, come here!"

Frank calmed himself and approached cautiously. "Yes, Mr. Scott?"

"Did I not tell you to keep unnecessary people out of the villa?"

Sean's voice was cold enough to make Frank shiver.

As Sean's assistant, he had the freedom to come and go from the villa as he pleased. When Sean wasn't around, he was the one who took care of the place.

“Miss Harrison said she had something important to tell you and brought up a lot about you. I didn't dare refuse her."
