Chapter: 198

Hearing this, Kathy couldn't stop herself from chiming in, “Since you're in a relationship with Madeline, won't she be able to attend every auction or event with you in the future? Why can't I just attend this one? Several accomplished young men belonging to Glophia's prestigious families will be a part of this auction. Derek, you never want me to consistently visit your place, right?"

In fact, this was Kathy's main goal. She wanted to get herself a rich husband. If only she could hook Sean up. That way, she surely would get what she wanted.

“Then... Why don't you take Kathy with you, Derek?" Madeline's eyes were watery as she buried herself in Derek's arms and said in a muffled voice, “Although I really look forward to experiencing this auction, it's okay. Let's give Kathy this chance to enjoy herself."

“Derek, Madeline has consented. Let me come with you. My dress is ready. I only need you to take me there," Kathy hurriedly said.

The two women's quarrel had left Derek irritated. After a glance at the pitiful Madeline, he made his decision. "Madeline will come with me." He shot Kathy a glare as he warned, “Don't cross your boundaries here. Leave quickly."

Kathy pouted unhappily, glowered icily at Madeline, who was snuggling into Derek, and stormed out.

In the dimly lit room, the computer screen emitted a faint blue glow as Sean's hands flew over the keyboard.

A voice from his Bluetooth earpiece said, “I have successfully hacked into all the cameras of the Glophia Transportation Bureau. I'm currently retrieving surveillance footage of the areas through which the vehicle passed..."

"Okay. Use Glamour Club as your starting point. Find all the surveillance footage of that moment and send me a copy," Sean instructed.

“Okay.”

The images flickered frame by frame, Norah's reflection visible in Sean's eyes. Sean clenched his hands tightly as he watched Norah being chased after, and then getting stabbed near the white car when she resisted. His gaze didn't leave the attacker's face.

Norah got into the driver's seat and sped away toward Dreamview Villas. A group of people dressed in black appeared on the side of the road. They were led by a girl who looked gentle but radiated a sinister aura.

Sean narrowed his eyes, studying the girl closely. It looked like this girl was responsible for Norah's injury.

"T, find the details of this girl in the footage. I want her information in thirty minutes," Sean ordered into the earpiece.

"Yes, sir."

Sean removed his glasses, rubbing his eyes in exhaustion. Who wanted to hurt Norah? Did that girl harbor some resentment against Norah?

Why were so many people after Norah?

There was no way to deny that Norah had exhibited exceptional skills, managing to escape the pursuit easily. The entire time she was being chased, she displayed remarkable calmness, showing no signs of fear or panic.

This left Sean wondering, was Norah truly terrified when she and Kaiden were kidnapped?

He closed his eyes. It didn't matter how many secrets she was hiding.

Now that he had decided to protect her, no one was allowed to harm her.

A sound came in through his Bluetooth earpiece again. “Found it. The girl's name is Hilda. She is the second-in-command of the Fox Alliance. She's known for her viciousness in Glophia. Her heart is as cold as a snake and a scorpion. Basically, she is the epitome of cruelty."

Sean said in a forbidding tone, "Get to the point."

The voice on the other end became grim. “Okay. This incident was specifically organized by the Fox Alliance against Miss Wilson."
