?Chapter 158:


    Norah’s unexpected punch left everyone stunned. Rubbing her hands, Norah fixed her gaze on Kalel. “Are you hearing me now? I had asked you to leave.”


    Emil approached Kalel and anxiously asked, “Kalel, are you alright?”


    Kalel, covering one eye with his hand, revealed a bloody bruise on the other eye. “Tuck you! Do you have a death wish? Ellul, get someone here to teach her a lesson! Our families are influential in Glophia. Dealing with Norah shouldn’t be a problem.”


    Kalel was burning with fury. How dare Norah hit him! He was the son of the head of the Payne Estate, viewing himself as formidable.


    Witnessing Kalel getting attacked, Emil grew furious. As he reached for his phone to call for help, a determined voice interrupted him.


    “Who wants to hurt Norah?”


    Susanna entered the banquet hall with a lively stride. She had intended to arrive early to back up Norah but had overslept. On her way out, she was caught in a traffic jam. By the time she finally reached the hotel, it was a bitte, and she had caught wind of themotion.


    “I’d like to see who is so bold,” Susanna dered.


    As Norah struck Kalel, everyone in the banquet hall watched in silence. No one dared intervene or break the intense moment. Then Susanna stepped in front of them. She graced the scene, dressed in a pink princess gown.

    Her long hair cascaded down her back,plemented by exquisite and charming makeup. Her big, shining eyes captured everyone’s attention, and behind her stood six imposing bodyguards in sharp ck suits.


    “Norah, did you just hit someone? Is your hand hurting?” Susanna gently grasped Norah’s hand, giving it a tender touch.


    Emil, irritated, asked, “Who are you?”


    Susanna appeared quite young and didn’t frequent social events, so Emil didn’t know she hailed from the Scott family. Her boldness surprised him.


    Emil retorted, “Hear me out. If you want to avoid trouble, it’s best to stay away from Norah. Otherwise, my men might identally harm you when they arrive.”


    From beginning to end, Emil and Kalel had their sights set solely on Norah. With Kalel beaten, Emil’s anger boiled, and his thoughts were a chaotic jumble.


    Kalel got back on his feet, sporting a bruised and swollen face. With a stern expression, Susanna pointed at one of her bodyguards and said, “You, tell him who I am.”


    The bodyguard bowed his head respectfully. “Miss Susanna Scott, the younger sister of Mr. Scott, the head of the Scott family.”


    This revtion left everyone in shock.


    This girl was Susanna from the Scott family?


    Corrin’s excitement was so intense that he almost forgot to breathe.


    “Sean’s younger sister?” he murmured. “And she seems to be close to Norah. Did Sean and Norah really have something?”


    However, Emil was unfazed. “Oh,e on! Next time you lie, make up a better story. Everyone in Glophia knows that Miss Scott has never attended this kind of banquet. If the Scott family finds out about your im, you won’t get away with it.”


    Susanna’s delicate face tensed. “Whether you believe me or not, it doesn’t make a difference.”


    Susanna decided to report the incident to Sean, knowing he wouldn’t let these two who bullied Norah off the hook easily.


    Emil and Kalel hesitated, intimidated by the bodyguards trailing behind Susanna, and refrained from taking any action for a while.


    “Why are you here?” Norah asked.


    “Well, when I heard you were attending, I asked Phillip to get me an invitation so I coulde and have your back. You ran into some trouble, right? Don’t fret, I’m here for you.”


    Susanna nced at Emil and Kalel, her indifferent demeanor leaving them flustered.


    Emil and Kalel shivered slightly. Was this girl really Susanna from the Scott family? And Norah was her friend? If that was the case, they were truly in trouble.


    Kalel tried to steady himself and smirked. “If the Scott family finds out that someone is pretending to be Miss Scott, you’re dead meat.”


    Corrin, inclined to believe Susanna’s words, wanted to smooth things over. “It’s my birthday today. Could you please do me a favor and stop arguing?”


    Norah almost burst intoughter. If Emil and Kalel really cared about Corrin’s feelings, they wouldn’t have been so arrogant and caused a scene from the beginning.


    Susanna, hailing from the powerful Scott family, was undoubtedly not one to mess with in Glophia.


    “Get rid of these two people, or I won’t back down easily,” Susanna dered. She wasn’t aware of what Emil and Kalel had done to Norah before her arrival, but seeing Norah’s frown, she sensed they had gotten under her skin and decided to back Norah up.


    Norah wasn’t afraid of Emil and Kalel at all. With Susanna by her side, she felt even more emboldened. “Get lost!”


    Emil’s anger was evident as his hand shook while pointing at Norah. “You!”


    Corrin felt a bit lightheaded. Norah, known as a member of the Wilson family but actually not, had just publicly provoked the sons of the Palmer and Payne families. If Emil and Kalel harbored a grudge and sought retribution, the Wilson family could be on the brink of financial ruin. However, the girl standing with Norah imed to be Sean’s younger sister. If her words held true, the Wilson family wouldn’t face bankruptcy; perhaps their fortunes might even flourish.


    Corrin and Samira exchanged nces, mixed feelings in their eyes.


    Kalel chuckled and said, “Do you think we’re afraid of you just because you make up an identity? Guards, control them!”


    Kalel had summoned his bodyguards during the conversation. Dozens of strong men in uniforms rushed in, prompting some guests to scream.


    Luna attempted to hide Sha behind Dooley for protection, but Dooley ruthlessly pushed them aside. Luna regarded him with resentful eyes.


    Susanna, with a gentle smile, continued to tenderly caress Norah’s hands.


    “Don’t worry, Norah. Dealing with them is a piece of cake for my bodyguards.”


    Sean had carefully selected these bodyguards from a skilled pool for Susanna.


    Each possessed unique talents, so it was not a problem for them to handle ordinary nuisances.


    “How dare you bully Norah! I will have you carried out!” Susanna snapped.


    Norah’s heart was filled with warmth.


    Susanna, concerned for her, had made a special effort to gain an invitation to the banquet, intending to surprise her and teach a lesson to those who had bullied her.


    No wonder Sean showered Susanna with so much love.


    If she were in Sean’s ce, she would do the same. After all, Susanna was such an adorable girl.


    When the two groups of bodyguards confronted each other, Susanna’s bodyguards, clearly stronger, swiftly brought down Kojel’s men.


    Pointing at Emil and Kaiel, Susanna said, “Don’t forget these two. Beat them in sensitive spots—one thousand for each punch. Keep count, and ask Phillip to pay you.”


    Upon hearing this, Susanna’s bodyguards were obviously excited. Seizing Emil and Kaiel by the cors, they forcefully escorted them out.


    The distant cries and screams of the two could be heard from inside.


    Corrin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and cautiously asked Norah,


    “Norah, would you mind giving a brief introduction of thisdy?”


    “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wilson.


    I’m Susanna Scott—and this is my gift for…”


    Before Norah could speak, Susanna took the initiative, presenting the gift to Corrin.
