Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 348:

Joanna gathered her composure and dried her eyes. “Yes, I can. Sorry for this scene, Norah.”

Despite feeling upset and believing that Bryson deserved better, the deed was done. The Andrews family had long maintained high ethical standards. Given the circumstances, it was imperative to clarify the situation to the Carter family and Kathy.

Joanna understood her family’s dynamics intimately. Clearly, Kathy was to blame for concocting a scheme against Bryson.

“It’s important that you see it that way. Susanna and I will head out now. See you tomorrow.”

Norah gave Joanna’s cheek a gentle pinch. “We’ll figure it out.”

Norah saw through this drama, knowing the entire debacle had escalated solely because of Kathy’s maneuvers.

While they were leaving the hospital, Susanna linked arms with Norah, radiating excitement. “Norah, I’ve been eagerly awaiting your return. Remember Emil and Kalel, who stirred up trouble at your father’s birthday party?”

“Yes, I remember.” Norah nodded.

“The more I thought about it after you left, the more infuriated I became. I had someone apprehend them and ensure they were taught a lesson,” Susanna continued.

Susanna’s gaze dropped momentarily, 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.”

Her light, melodic voice belied the chilling severity of her words, discussing financial ruin as if it were an everyday occurrence.

“Norah, do you think I went too far?” Susanna had asked Phillip once, inwardly debating whether her actions had been too harsh. After all, as a young lady from a prominent family, she 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 warmly.

Her hand moved to gently caress Susanna’s head, her voice imbued with warmth, offering a comforting embrace.

So, this was Norah’s perspective—Susanna was like a valiant queen. Susanna beamed with pride, her smile wide.

“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 primary focus.

Had they dared to confront her directly, Norah 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 settling into the seat beside her.

“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 chatted, Sean reached out, his hand gently clutching Norah’s, their fingers intertwining.

Turning around, Norah 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 the sight of Sean’s handsome face and charming smile, convinced that he grew more attractive with each passing moment.noveldrama
