Chapter: 427

Sean, with a hint of jest, adjusted her weight in his arms. "Do you think I'm easily swayed by any woman's whims? You've got me pegged all wrong. My attention is solely on you."

Hearing the response she had hoped for, Norah felt content. "Good to know."

As Sean and Norah exited, Phillip and K made their way into a chamber.

Phillip voiced his puzzlement, "What is so urgent that we have to personally deal with the problem?"

Leaning in, K speculated, "Maybe it's a love memento. Who knows what's inside this bag? Let's grab it and make a quick exit... Oh my God!"

K's eyes widened in disbelief as he gestured toward the bag. “Who could've done something this terrible?"

Phillip's eyes widened as he took in the sight of the bag filled with human fingers, eerily reminiscent of radishes arrayed for sale at a market. A gulp betrayed his discomfort and he said, "Hasn't Miss Wilson been carrying this bag around? Could she be responsible for this? But that can't be!"

K's eyes showed just how impressed he was. “I had pegged Miss Wilson as someone fragile, but clearly, I underestimated her. The precision of those cuts... Whoever did this knows their way around a knife.”

“Miss Wilson is a surgeon, isn't she?"

"That explains her efficiency. She's indeed a match for Mr. Scott."

Rather than feeling repulsed, K seemed intrigued by the meticulousness of the act.

Phillip was left with a complex mix of emotions, pondering the depths of Norah's character and speculating on the dynamics of her relationship with Sean moving forward.

Susanna's post on social media swiftly informed most of Glophia about Sean and Norah's relationship.

At Carter Manor, Sharon sneered from her spot on the couch, “I've had my doubts about Norah Wilson ever since her marriage to Derek.

And look at this! Wasn't I right? She's barely out of divorce, and she's already entangled with a Scott. It makes one wonder if their affair didn't start much earlier."

Kathy whispered, "Even before their divorce, Derek had an affair with Madeline." She believed her brother and Norah were cut from the same cloth.

"Kathy, did you really see Madeline at the hospital's ob-gyn department? Hold on! What were you doing in the ob-gyn section?"

After speaking ill of Norah, Sharon's memory jogged as she remembered Kathy had mentioned she would bring a surprise.

Kathy tensed up, nervously fiddling with her fingers. “A friend needed support during her prenatal visit, so I went with her. That's when I spotted Madeline. She seemed quite happy, reading a report."

"Is that so?" Sharon eyed Kathy with skepticism. "Just make sure you're not up to no good. If you're caught in a scandal, neither your grandmother nor I will allow you back."

They had temporarily overlooked Kathy's involvement in hiring a hitman and her liaison with Jordy. If Kathy turned over a new leaf, they were willing to overlook her past misdeeds.

“I understand." Kathy stroked her belly and changed the topic. “Mom, grandma, do you think Madeline has been pregnant as she was in the ob-gyn?"

Juliana pondered for a moment before speaking. "It seems Madeline is likely pregnant."

She then turned to the indignant Sharon. “Just give Derek and Madeline our blessings."
