?Chapter 964:
They filled Alice in on the details, their voicesced with concern. “Cade Newman attacked Norah out of the blue. We have no clue why.”
Alice’s eyes narrowed, a coldness settling in her voice. “Cade Newman? Now that’s a name from the past. I wouldn’t have thought he was still breathing.”
Susanna’s curiosity piqued. “You know him? Apparently, he’s the kingpin of the drug trade here, a wanted criminal. Norah was just here for apetition. How could she have crossed paths with someone so ruthless?”
Alice scoffed. “Some people are just bad to the bone.” Perhaps Norah had inadvertently crossed someone’s path—someone powerful enough to get Cade involved. “Where is Norah now? I need to see her,” Alice dered, her voice firm.
“She’s resting at the hotel, but we can’t get in.”
Alice, undeterred, gripped their shoulders. “Doesn’t matter. Take me there.”
A genuine smile lit up her face. “This is the best news ever. Thank you, both of you.”
Relief washed over Alice. Knowing that Norah was alive, albeit with amnesia, made all the difference. It exined why Norah hadn’t contacted them. But Alice was confident her friend’s memories would return. After all, Norah was a force to be reckoned with—a talented doctor, a renowned designer, and a champion racer. It would be a shame to let such skills go to waste.
“Let’s go,” Alice dered, her voice filled with renewed purpose. “Take me to Norah.”
The past year had seen Alice living abroad with Riss. Her child needed a father, and Riss was overjoyed to embrace his newfound role. Alice, meanwhile, had risen through the ranks of Breaker, her abilities making her the organization’s second-inmand. Oscar, stepping down from his previous position, now served as Breaker’s third.

Alice’s past year abroad had been delightful, yet the unresolved mystery of Norah’s disappearance had cast a shadow over her joy. She had never epted the idea of Norah being dead—she was convinced her friend was merely missing. When news of Norah’s whereabouts finally reached her, excitement surged through Alice.
With Susanna and Joanna leading the way, Alice made her way back to their hotel. Before their eyes, she effortlessly avoided the security cameras and demonstrated how to scale the exterior to the eighteenth-floor balcony using just her hands. It was reminiscent of those movies where characters perform extraordinary feats.
Susanna had always known Alice was an excellent shot, yet witnessing Alice’s agility and strength was unexpectedly impressive. Meanwhile, Joanna silently acknowledged that Alice could easily outmatch her.
