Chapter: 1582

Their conversation flowed easily as they shared their thoughts and feelings. Susanna was relieved that her mother's morbid obsession with the piano was now gone.

“Talking about Nancy and her deceit, it brings something to mind,”

Susanna said, her face turning serious. “When I was in the hospital, thoughts of suicide crossed my mind. Reflecting on it now, those thoughts surfaced every time you brought her to visit. I always sensed something was not right with her."

Kayla responded, a hint of guilt in her voice, “Back then, we all thought you had suicidal thoughts because of Nancy's presence. But that wasn't the case, was it?"

“Well, I was jealous of her because she stole your affection, but that alone wouldn't have driven me to consider suicide. Nancy was nothing but trouble, It's a relief she's gone. From now on, you only have me as your daughter, and you need to pamper me,” Susanna said with a gentle smile, tilting her head. “And you must also show love to Norah. She is a wonderful partner for my brother."

“Speaking of which, Norah played a crucial role in the rescue effort. I've realized how deeply she and Sean love each other. I won't stand in their way of being together,” Kayla remarked.

“Mom, I'm glad you feel that way. Did you also know that Norah is really Nora? She and Nancy both competed in that piano competition. I'm certain it was Nancy who tried to undermine Norah."

“Norah is actually Nora? And she has such remarkable talent on the piano? Her skills are impressive, both technically and emotionally.”

“Yes, Norah is truly remarkable. The more you learn about her, the more you'll appreciate her."

Outside Kayla's room, Matteo and Phillip exchanged a glance, both visibly relieved by the calm conversation taking place inside.

“Mr. Scott," Phillip began after a pause. “Sean called me. He said Miss Wilson already knows about the existence of the Sacredice.”

Matteo nodded thoughtfully. “There's no reason to hide the Sacredice from her anymore. Norah is the woman Sean truly loves, and she played a crucial role in rescuing Kayla. Both Kayla and I have accepted her as our future daughter-in-law.”

Phillip, who had been by Sean's side through thick and thin, understood the trials Sean and Norah had endured together. Watching them find happiness was exactly what he had hoped for.

“Phillip,” Matteo said, shifting gears suddenly, “if you want to be with Susanna, there's one condition. You must marry into the Scott family. Are you willing?"

The Scott family was unwilling to marry off their daughter, preferring to have her husband join their lineage. Phillip, whom they had watched grow up, was a man they trusted implicitly, but this was one condition they were firm on.

Though surprised by Matteo's sudden proposition, Phillip didn't hesitate.

“I'm willing,” he said, his voice steady.

Phillip had always felt like part of the Scott family after following Sean for so long. The idea of marrying into the family felt like a natural extension of his bond with them.

Matteo clapped him on the shoulder with a smile. “Good boy."

Meanwhile, Norah and Sean enjoyed their week in Sevaedda. On the third day, members of the Sacredice left.

But before their departure, a tense incident unfolded. Xenia, under the guise of discussing something important, tried to flirt with Sean.

Her attempt was met with firm rejection, leaving her humiliated. She stormed off, her emotions getting the best of her.

As Xenia's superior, K bore the brunt of the fallout, receiving a harsh reprimand for the incident. Though he felt the punishment was unfair, he promised to better manage his subordinates to prevent such situations from arising again.

As a member of the Sacredice, T was always on the lookout for talented individuals to join the organization.
