Chapter: 589

Susanna's gaze dropped, her eyes briefly flickering with a shadowy intensity. "I then visited the Scott Group, driving their families to bankruptcy. You should've seen how miserable they were, forced to kneel as their assets were liquidated."

Susanna's Light and melodic voice belied the chilling severity of her words, discussing financial ruin as though it were an everyday occurrence.

"Norah, do you think I went too far?" Susanna had once posed this question to Phillip, inwardly debating whether her actions were too harsh since she was a young lady from a prominent family who was expected to embody kindness, not vengeance.

“How is this too far? Weren't they the cruel ones, exploiting their power against the defenseless? You're like a queen, vanquishing the forces of darkness. It's simply remarkable!" Norah smiled.

Norah's hand on Susanna's head moved in a soothing caress, the warmth in her voice acting as a comforting embrace around Susanna.

So, this was Norah's perspective. In Norah's eyes, she was a valiant queen! Susanna beamed.

"Yes, they got what they deserved. Norah, does knowing about this make you happy?" Susanna Lifted her chin, her innocent face eager for acknowledgment.

"I'm delighted, Susanna. You were standing up for me, and I'm truly grateful. Thank you," Norah said earnestly.

Truth be told, those troublemakers had never really been Norah's focus. Had they dared to confront her directly, she would not have hesitated to teach them a stern lesson herself. It was unexpected that in her absence, Susanna had taken it upon herself to address the issue so decisively.

Laughing and conversing, they made their way to the hospital's exit.

"My brother mentioned he's coming to pick us up. The car's over there. Let's head over," Susanna said.

Leading Norah by the hand, Susanna approached a luxurious car, graciously opening the door for Norah to enter first before she herself settled into the seat beside Norah.

“Norah, my brother plans to cook dinner himself tonight. You might want to start thinking about what you'd like to eat so Phillip can get the ingredients ready," Susanna proposed excitedly.

Once seated in the car, Susanna was a bundle of energy. "I've already requested two dishes! And you should taste my brother's seafood dishes. They're as good as any professional chef's, though they don't quite match up to yours, Norah."

"Alright. Since Sean is cooking tonight, how about having a taste of my cooking at my place tomorrow? I feel like inviting Joanna over.

She's been feeling a lot better and might be discharged in a few days," Norah suggested.

"Let's keep it small. Just us. I don't want you to be weary from cooking for so many people," Susanna replied.

As they chat, Sean reached out, his hand clutching Norah's, their fingers entwining. Turning around, she found Sean's expression earnest as he said, "Susanna has a point."

Sean gazed at Norah, his lips curving into a mischievous smile.

Norah's heart fluttered at Sean's handsome face and charming smile, convinced that he grew more attractive with each passing moment.

Norah doubted she could have resisted Sean's charm if Alice hadn't been there the night before. She might have pulled Sean into a bedroom. After all, they had already been intimate once before. Doing it again didn't seem like a big deal to her. All that mattered to her was having a good time.

Holding Sean's hand firmly, Norah declared, “Okay, I'm done playing nice. I want prawns, fish, and chicken. You decide how to cook them."

Norah only named the ingredients, curious about what Sean would come up with, "Absolutely." Sean gave Norah an adoring smile, paying no mind to Susanna, who was seated next to Norah. “Honey, you call the shots."

There was a palpable connection between Sean and Norah. Susanna rubbed her arms, wishing to leave. Sure enough, as two fell in love, public displays of affection were just part of the package, anytime, anywhere. She felt a bit bad for Phillip, who had to endure their displays every day.
