Chapter: 956
Upon first seeing her, he felt a wave of familiarity, and a rush of emotions stirred within him.
Dolores' voice brought Marlin sharply back to reality. He couldn't understand why he felt some strange feelings when facing Norah. The only person he loved was Dolores, after all.
He felt she had taken a permanent place in his heart. Since their reunion, he had not wanted to let go of her hand.
He managed to keep his rising emotions in check. "Miss, Wilson, my girlfriend claimed that you slapped her. Unless you can provide a satisfactory explanation, I must ask you to leave here. I do not tolerate those who harm Dolores. Mr. Scott, since you're Miss Wilson's boyfriend, I won't form any business interactions with you."
Hans was somewhat taken aback by Marlin's direct approach. Unlike him, who measured his words carefully, Marlin, young and impetuous, usually speak bluntly.
Rosalee looked at Dolores, nestled in Marlin's arms, with a hint of envy. Marlin was ready to expel guests just to protect her. The Boyd family's influence was substantial enough to back up his boldness.
After all, few in Silverdale would dare to defy them.
Sean listened to Dolores’ story with skepticism. He found it hard to believe that Norah would slap someone without just cause. As her boyfriend, he felt it was his duty to defend her.
Meanwhile, Derek, unnoticed in the crowd, looked on with a troubled expression. Having overheard the exchange between Dolores and Norah after they left the restroom, he knew Dolores was trying to frame Norah.
He confided in Coen, who advised caution. They were unaware of any animosity between Dolores and Norah and decided not to take sides, wishing not to provoke a backlash from the Scott family. Their family's foundations were in Glophia, a region where Sean had considerable sway.
The tension escalated as Marlin called for security to escort Norah and Sean out. However, Yolande stepped forward to intervene, positioning herself in front of Norah. "Norah isn't going anywhere.
She's my friend," she declared.
She was intrigued by the initial misunderstanding and, oddly enough, was not particularly fond of Dolores. She would have been quite satisfied if Norah had actually slapped Dolores. How could she just stand by while Marlin expelled Norah?
“Mr. Boyd, are you certain I slapped her?" Norah, who had been silent until then, spoke up, drawing the attention of everyone present.
The woman in the black dress radiated a captivating charm, her presence both adorable and enticing, capturing everyone's attention.
It was undeniable that Norah was far more beautiful than Dolores.
"Who else could it have been but you? The surveillance footage confirms there were only two of you in the restroom!" Marlin asserted, but his question did not unsettle Norah. She stepped closer and whispered something to Sean.
Sean appeared briefly taken aback, then nodded in understanding after shaking his head slightly.
The crowd murmured, curious about what Norah might have whispered.
Yolande, standing close by, caught Norah's words.
Norah had said, "If I offend the Boyds, will you be afraid? Since you are not afraid, then just wait and see."
Watching Norah advance a few steps, Yolande felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. What was Norah planning to do?
The click of Norah's high heels resonated across the noisy hall, capturing the attention of everyone present.
She positioned herself in front of Marlin and Dolores.
