?Chapter 744:
Norah couldn’t fathom Marlin’s behavior.
Gemma’s surprised reaction greeted Norah upon her return to the dormitory.
“Norah? What brings you back here?”
Gemma queried, reclining on her bed with a facial mask and pajamas, engrossed in her phone.
“Miss me already? Finally realized there’s a cutie in our dormitory, huh?”
Gemma’s yful banter brought a smile to Norah’s face, momentarily easing her tension. They chatted casually for a while before Norah retired to bed after a shower.
Reflecting on Sean’s indifference, Marlin’s sudden amnesia, and Susanna’s illness, Norah couldn’t fall asleep.
The memory of the assassin sent by Hank stirred a cold determination within her. She resolved to remain vignt in the days ahead. Perhaps upon her return to Glophia, she thought, she’d uncover vital clues.
Norah harbored an unwavering resolve to bring her parents’ murderer to justice.
She suspected Iker’s involvement in Hank’s orders for the assassination and hoped her efforts would not be in vain.
The following morning, she rose to find no new messages on her phone. With a cold demeanor, she locked the screen and got out of bed.
“Good morning, Norah!”

Gemma greeted through a mouthful of toothpaste, observing Norah’s stoic expression with bewilderment.
Aware of Gemma’s apprehension, Norah quickly softened her expression, not wishing to burden her.
“Morning,” she replied, her tone gentler.
Gemma visibly rxed at the response. “Alright, let’s hurry and get ready for work.”
Norah’s day passed without incident, much to her surprise. She had anticipated an assassination attempt, wondering if the killer was biding their time until the night.
Concern for Gemma’s safety weighed heavily on Norah’s mind. She couldn’t bear the thought of her friend getting caught in the crossfire.
After careful consideration, Norah decided to return to the safety of the hotel suite. Not only was it a secure location, but Sean’s bodyguards were stationed there, adding an extrayer of protection. However, her primary motivation was to meet Sean. Their silent standoff hadsted for two days, and Norah was eager to gauge his demeanor.
Upon entering the suite with her hotel card, Norah was greeted by an empty space. Even the clothes were neatly arranged, leaving her with a cold feeling as she emerged from the master bedroom.
