Chapter: 477

“Excuse me, are you conducting business in Otland?"

It was unlikely that a visitor from Cesland would have the authority to issue a $3@ million check in Otland.

“I've fulfilled my obligation by offering payment. I won't entertain any further inquiries."

Riss' expression changed several times, but ultimately, he remained silent. After accepting Sean's check, he inspected it carefully. It appeared to be legitimate and payable.

With a dismissive wave, he said, "Sasha, escort our guests out."

With the payment secured, Sean instantly transitioned from captive to esteemed visitor.

“Norah, let's go."

Sean supported Norah, his concern evident as he noticed the red marks on her wrists from the rope. His gaze turned sullen as he glanced at Riss and Oscar, who were preoccupied with examining the check.

Norah's body still felt the effects of the knockout drops she had inhaled, leaving her feeling weak and vulnerable.

Carrying Norah in his arms, Sean led the way to their car, holding her close with increasing tenderness.

Sean held Norah close, relieved to see her safe.

“Norah, thankfully, you're okay."

Norah reassured him, patting his back gently. “I'm fine, but it must have cost you a lot of money.”

“Money can be earned again," Sean reassured her. “As long as you're safe, the expense was worth it.”

Throughout the journey, he had been haunted by the fear of Norah being mistreated.

Both Riss and Oscar were unsavory characters. Norah, on the other hand, radiated beauty.

Thankfully, Norah was unharmed, and nothing untoward had occurred.

A rush of warmth enveloped Norah's heart. So, this was what it felt like to be loved deeply.

Even if Sean had ventured into the enemy's territory alone and sacrificed much of his wealth, he wouldn't regret it.

A greasy smell of food wafted from her nose. Norah straightened up and spotted a food container in the car's corner.

"Is this the food container I left at the hotel entrance?"

Norah grasped the handle of the food container and lifted the lid, revealing the first layer. Her gaze fell upon the buns, some of which appeared to have been sampled.

"Yes, I had a few. Gave Phillip and Kelvin some too. Tasted great."

Sean, mindful of Norah's culinary efforts, opted not to let her cooking go to waste. Alongside Phillip and Kelvin, he indulged in some of the buns from the top layer.
