Chapter: 220

Jordy glanced back at Kathy who lay exposed and devoid of energy on the bed. "Since you've shared this night with me, I'll impart wisdom to you. Do not cross Miss Wilson."

Kathy smirked. "What power does Norah hold? Why are you so afraid of her?"

Jordy simply shook his head, his expression unreadable. "I'm aware Norah was once your sister-in-law. Regardless of how your family treated her, she's not someone you can push around now."

With that, Jordy exited the room, leaving Kathy puzzled by his warning. In her eyes, Norah was just someone who had managed to attach herself to Bryson and was now under Sean's protection. Without their support, Norah was just another person Kathy believed she could easily intimidate.

Remembering how the Fox Alliance nearly captured Norah last time, Kathy's grip tightened in frustration. They had failed miserably, unable to apprehend Norah and torture her since then.

Exhausted, Kathy returned to Carter Manor only to find Derek, alongside Sharon and Juliana, displaying somber faces.

Overwhelmed, Kathy moved to the living room's center in silence.

Juliana commanded sharply, "Kneel!"

Kathy complied, kneeling heavily on the floor.

“Kathy Carter! As a member of the Carter family, you've embarrassed us all by chasing after Jordy for an auction invite. Do you even give a darn about the Carter family's reputation?"

Kathy bit her lip, choosing not to respond.

Looking at Kathy disappointedly, Sharon lamented, "I was in disbelief when your brother informed me about your ridiculous behavior. Why bother to stoop so low and please him just for a darn auction invitation?"

Kathy had hickeys around her neck, implying the deal she had struck with Jordy for merely one auction invitation.

Sharon's frustration grew as she observed her daughter, traditionally nurtured with care, now appearing diminished voluntarily.

"Derek plans to escort Madeline to the auction, and I wish to attend as well. If he wouldn't take me, I resolved to find another way."

Kathy looked up, her stance unwavering, convinced of her innocence.

Norah sifted through her mailbox, crowded with requests for Supernatural Doctor's expertise. Among them were appeals from the Hayes family and the Scott family.

After clearing out all the emails, there was another one, all by itself, in the mailbox.

It was an urgent request from Otland's royal family, seeking a high- risk cranial surgery for a princess, with a success rate below 10%.

They offered $30 million for the consultation plus a bonus for a successful operation.

The challenge intrigued Norah, seeing it not only as a financial gain but as a chance to enhance Supernatural Doctor's global prestige. She pondered whether her international fame had waned.

She responded to the email, setting up a time to head to Otland for the surgery and some time off. The recent happenings in the country had left her thoughts all jumbled up.

Norah then prepared to share her newly completed songs with Zeke, their band poised for a breakthrough performance.

Her phone beeped with a new message.
