Chapter: 763

Bryson walked up to Joanna with a worried look and sighed. "Joanna, you should stay home and rest. It's a dangerous world."

The bloodshed was truly horrific. Life seemed to be of little worth to those involved. A single bullet could end a life. Bryson was concerned about what further dangers Joanna might face.

Joanna pursed her lips. "Why shouldn't I be here? Norah invited me.

I'm at home recovering from an injury, not in jail."

Only then did Bryson have the chance to really look at Norah. She seemed indifferent, her face completely calm. In fact, none of the four people in the private room appeared to be afraid. Even he had been startled by the sight of so many dead bodies, but Norah was strikingly composed. There was also a Scott girl there. Despite her reputation as a delicate rich girl, she too was composed and didn't shed a single tear.

"You can go out if she invites you," Bryson said. Norah had been a benefactor to his family, and they would go to great lengths to accommodate her needs.

Spencer was so shocked that he couldn't form a coherent sentence. He pointed at the corpses with a trembling finger and stammered, "This... this is..." This crisis was the biggest he had faced since taking over the Glamour Club.

"Who killed them?"

Norah was about to confess, but Sean intervened. He took her hand and subtly shook his head. She looked at Sean, their eyes locking.

Was he signaling her to keep the truth hidden?

Recalling the ordeal of their previous kidnapping, Kaiden instinctively protected Norah. “It definitely wasn't any of the four girls in this room. They were all terrified! You should get them out of here first," he insisted, giving Norah a wink.

Norah was amused by his words. The four ladies were the occupants of the room, it could only make sense that one of them had killed those men. Kaiden's excuse was not convincing at all.

Sean nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's discuss this elsewhere. As for these bodies, let the police handle them."

Taking the lead, he guided Susanna and Norah out of the room, shooting a sharp glance at Phillip who promptly stood up and nodded subtly.

Kaiden pushed Alice's wheelchair, while Bryson ushered Joanna out of the room alongside him.

As they passed by the bald man, they did not even spare him a glance.

Everyone had overlooked the two men on the ground, simply waiting for the arrival of the police to take them away.

As a group approached the door of the private room, the bald man, his eyes radiating intensity, handed a gun to his minion. He Loaded the weapon quickly and took aim at the back of a beautiful woman, firing a shot in rapid succession. He recalled that she was the one who had shot and crippled his leg, and her friend had killed all his men.

In a moment of desperate calculation, he decided to attack her by surprise. His face contorted with hatred. Even if his shooting skills were not sharp enough to kill her with a single bullet, he was determined to at least wound her.

The sharp report of the gunfire rang out, and Sean's ears picked up the sound. He grabbed Norah's hand with urgency, pulling her to his side. Yet, as they evaded the first bullet, another fired by the bald man's minion continued its deadly path towards Norah.

Norah had been ready to leap aside, but Sean's sudden tug caused her to surge forward instead. With her sharp senses alert, she debated whether dodging might let the bullet continue on its path, possibly endangering Susanna. But in a fleeting moment of hesitation, a strong shove sent her, Sean, and Susanna tumbling backward. She heard a low, muffled grunt from a man, followed by two gunshots. Shouts of pain erupted from the room.

Annoyed, Norah looked up to identify the source of the push. She could have dodged it herself! But in an instant, she had been pushed aside.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed the bald man and his minion on the ground, both clutching their bleeding wrists and wailing in agony.

Kason, dressed in a black T-shirt, turned to meet her eyes. With a gun in his right hand and his stance unsteady, his rugged face was etched with intense anger. He fixed a piercing gaze on her, examining her from head to toe. His handsome brows knit together as he eventually looked away.
