?Chapter 259:


    Sean, apanied by a few others, arrived outside the room just in time to overhear Norah’s heartfelt words. He breathed a sigh of relief, his emotions stirred slightly.


    Sasha knocked on the door and announced, “Sir, they are here.” The three men entered the room in session, followed by the members of Breaker, who stood behind Riss and Oscar.


    “Norah.”


    Spotting Norah safely, Sean moved to her, his expression filled with concern. “Are you hurt?”


    While Sean was in the car, Norah’s call to him had been hurried. She had ended the conversation abruptly after conveying her needs, leaving Sean concerned that she might have been hurt. It wasn’t until he saw her with his own eyes that he feltpletely relieved.


    Norah grasped Sean’s hand and smiled. “I’m fine.”


    “Where is the money?” Riss rose to his feet, his anger simmering beneath the surface. “Are you all ying games with me?” The three men approached empty-handed, prompting Riss to notice the absence of any money.


    Oscar rose from his seat, wearing a smug expression on his face. “You didn’t bring any money? Do you n to use that beautifuldy as coteral? I was considering making her mine.” If they hadn’t brought any money, Riss wouldn’t hand over Norah. That would mean she’d belong to Oscar tonight.


    Sean’s tone turned cold. “You must be joking. We’re here to save her, so we didn’te empty-handed. Phillip…”


    Phillip promptly retrieved a checkbook from his suit pocket. Sean epted it, then, with a ck pen, he filled out a check for thirty million dors and signed his name.

    “Thirty million dors. You can cash it in at any bank in Ond.” Sean tore the check, pinched it between his index and middle fingers, and presented it to Riss and Oscar.


    “If you ept this payment, you must honor our agreement and release us.”


    Riss was taken aback by the sight of the hefty check in Sean’s hand. Anyone who could issue such a substantial sum without hesitation must hold considerable influence in Ond.


    “Excuse me. Are you conducting business in Ond?”


    It was unlikely that a visitor from Cend would have the authority to issue a million-dor check in Ond.


    “I’ve fulfilled my obligation by offering payment. I won’t entertain any further inquiries.”


    Riss’s expression changed several times, ultimately settling into silence. After epting Sean’s check, he inspected it carefully. It appeared to be legitimate and payable.


    With a dismissive wave, he said, “Sasha, escort our guests out.”


    With the payment secured, Sean instantly transitioned from captive to esteemed visitor. “Norah, let’s go.”


    Sean supported Norah as he noticed the red marks on her wrists from the rope. His gaze turned sullen as he nced at Riss and Oscar, who were preupied with examining the check.


    Norah’s body still felt the effects of the knockout drops she had inhaled, leaving her feeling weak and vulnerable. Carrying Norah in his arms, Sean led the way to their car.


    Holding her close with increasing tenderness, Sean embraced Norah, relieved to see her safe. “Norah, thankfully, you’re okay.”


    Norah reassured him, patting his back gently. “I’m fine. It must have cost you a lot of money.”


    “Money can be earned again,” Sean reassured her. “As long as you’re safe, the expense is worth it.”


    Throughout the journey, he had been haunted by the fear of Norah being mistreated. Both Riss and Oscar were unsavory characters, but Norah, on the other hand, radiated beauty. Thankfully, Norah was unharmed, and nothing untoward had urred.


    A rush of warmth enveloped Norah’s heart. So, this was what it felt like to be loved deeply. Even if Sean had ventured into the enemy’s territory alone and sacrificed much of his wealth, he wouldn’t regret it.
