Chapter: 261

“And why have the police shown up?" Sean asked.

“Miss Wilson filed a report about Mr. Hayes being missing. The police traced their last leads to the Fox Alliance, which brought them here.

But, it's puzzling what Miss Wilson is doing here?"

As Phillip finished speaking, Norah clad in black, her hair tied back in a ponytail and her face concealed by a black mask, emerged from her vehicle. She attached daggers to her belt and proceeded with determination.

Phillip couldn't hide his astonishment. "Is Miss Wilson planning to storm into the Fox Alliance by herself? She's quite daring.”

The Fox Alliance was infamous in Glophia for its notoriety. And there was Norah, a woman, seemingly prepared to infiltrate their domain all by herself.

Sean's dark eyes were a whirlpool of intense feelings. Was Kason so important to her? Was she truly prepared to risk everything for him, to confront a notorious gang numbering in the hundreds on her own?

Did her own safety mean so little to her?

"Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson is on her way out. Should we intervene?"

Phillip asked.

Phillip didn't know what was going on between Sean and Norah but sensed something. Norah seemed to be deliberately avoiding Sean, and arranging even a single meeting between them had been a challenge. It seemed Sean was being unusually humble.

Sean quickly exited his car, bringing nothing with him, and chased down Norah. He caught her wrist with urgency in his voice. "Norah!"

Caught off guard, Norah exclaimed, "Sean? What are you doing here?"

Before Norah could process the situation, she attempted to free herself. “Let go of me!"

Memories from her past flashed as she said with determination, “Let go!"

“Is Kason so important to you that you would risk your own life for him?" Sean spoke softly, his face showing a hint of sadness. “Please, stay put."

The Fox Alliance was a dangerous place. Sean assumed if Norah went inside, she could get seriously injured.

"This is not your concern," Norah said coldly, brushing off Sean's hand. "I've made myself clear before. I have urgent matters to attend to. We can meet another time."

Norah strode off, her posture unwavering, showcasing her firm resolve.

Sean felt a wave of ache in his heart, similar to that he felt after Norah refused his advances. It was as if he was struggling to breathe, desperately gasping for air.

“Mr. Scott, are you okay?" Phillip rushed to his side, offering support with a pat on the back, filled with concern.

"It's nothing." Sean steadied his breath. "Let's leave."

Sean told himself if Norah wanted to be in danger, it truly wasn't his place to intervene. Her words were so ruthless. Why should he bother anymore?

Sean turned away, his movements reflecting a newfound coldness.
