Chapter: 412

Norah, hearing the whistle, let a sinister smile play across her lips, taking in the assembled group. She thought, "Not one has slipped away.

This is perfect."

With deliberate steps, Norah advanced, her mind ticking through plans for their downfall. Her smile grew, weaving a spell over the men ahead.

Underestimating Norah's combat prowess, the group of men mistakenly took her smile as her willingness to go with them. Oblivious to the doom of their fate, they felt tricking Norah onto Jack's bed was a piece of cake.

“Are you by yourself, beauty?" The leader tried to look suave as he ran his fingers through his hair.

“Darling, I'm all open arms here. Why don't you come over and see for yourself?" he boasted, patting his shoulders while being confident in his charm.

Norah's face, enchanting as a hibiscus in full bloom, was framed by eyelashes long and curved like delicate fans. She looked at these men, her expression glowing with a seemingly innocent allure.

Norah cocked her head to the side and queried, “Is that so?"

The man eagerly responded, “Absolutely, I'm quite fond of you. How about we chat more privately? My place is over in the East Zone. I'm extending an invite. Would you consider coming along?"

Norah's eyes seemed untouched by the complexities of life, radiating purity. “Interesting. How far is it from here?"

"It's a short ride. It'll only take a few minutes, and I've got a car ready to take us there."

At that moment, another man rolled a motorcycle forward.

Offering Norah a white helmet, the man assured, “Wear this. I'll treat you well."

Considering the crowded hospital environment, Norah realized beating them up right here wasn't wise. "I need to look after my hospitalized friend. Just give me your address, and I'll come by myself later tonight."

The man was skeptical of Norah's promise, thinking she was merely looking for a way out. He persisted, thrusting the helmet toward her, “I'm already here, so why not come with me now?"

As this exchange unfolded, the other five men formed a circle around Norah, their stares bearing hostility toward Norah.

"So, you're saying regardless of my answer, you plan to take me with you, correct?" Norah maintained her composure under such pressure.

The man affirmed, “Indeed, beauty, you've ventured here on your own, after all."

Jack's crew assumed they had bypassed the need for kidnapping Norah away. If all went smoothly, they would soon present her to Jack.

Norah feigned contemplation before giving a tentative nod. “Is it just you guys there?"

“If you comply, you'll only meet one person. If not, I can't guarantee who else you might encounter."

Their implication was clear. Jack might hand Norah over to his men if she was obedient. Jack's associates were torn, hoping for her compliance yet intrigued by the possibility of her defiance.

Norah accepted the helmet with poise. “I prefer to ride solo. Would that be alright?"

"Of course." Without a second thought, the man tossed her the keys.
