Chapter: 733

“How can you help me get revenge if you're still in a wheelchair?"

Norah retorted as she moved into the living room and sat down, eager for a chat with Alice.

Alice, although confined to a wheelchair with injuries to her shoulders and legs, remained confident.

"Don't underestimate me. I can still hold my own in a fight."

Her blond hair was intricately braided in several thin plaits, which was a task done by a bored Susanna.

Alice patiently undid each braid.

“I'm staying at your place now. If anything comes up, do keep me informed."

Living with Susanna had given Alice a deeper insight into Norah's life.

To Alice, Norah always seemed unbothered. But in reality, her heart was full of worries.

"Alice, I won't hesitate if I ever need your help."

Norah always spoke her mind around Alice. She was straightforward in both her words and actions.

She mentioned her upcoming business trip to Alice.

"I didn't think it would drag on this long. Alice, will you be okay here in Glophia by yourself?"

To Norah's astonishment, Alice seemed unfazed. "Norah, you're really selling me short. I'm not a kid and I can look after myself. Plus, Susanna's here too. You don't need to worry about me."

“Are you planning to head back to Otland, then?"

Concerned that Alice might leave secretly, Norah asked through clenched teeth.

"Will you leave to see Riss?"

Riss was gaining influence in Otland, working in the shady side of business, and he could be targeted for retaliation at any time. If Alice were with him and he wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't be able to protect her.

Norah laid out all these dangers to Alice.

Alice remained quiet, smoothing her fingers through her untidy hair, the braids now undone.

Norah had hardly any interaction with Riss and made no judgments about him.

"Norah, I get it."

Alice paused, her fingers freezing mid-air. “I'm not going back, at least for now."

Sean had secured a passport for Alice that was valid for a year, allowing her to stay legally for that duration.
