?Chapter 989:


    ” I simply wanted to share a drink; it’s been too long since ourst meeting,” Sean exined, holding his ss casually and offering a slight smile. “It’s been a while since Norah vanished, hasn’t it?”


    The mention of Norah caused a shift in their expressions. Bryson quietly took another sip of wine, contemting thest conversation he’d had with her.


    Beside him, Kason’s expression grew somber, and he fell silent.


    Sean watched the two men carefully, sensing he’d figured something out.


    He set his ss down with a deliberate clink, the sound sharply cutting through the silence of the room.


    Bryson’s heart raced. They had always carefully avoided discussing Norah’s disappearance. So why had Sean suddenly summoned them to the mour Club to bring her up today?


    Could it be…


    “Mr. Hayes, I’ve noticed you’ve been spending more time in Silverdale rather than Glophia this year,” Sean remarked sharply. “Why the frequent visits to Silverdale?”


    Kason slowly looked up. “I’m not under the Scott family’s employ. My whereabouts are my own business. I’m free to travel wherever I choose.”


    Sean’s lips twisted into a smirk as he idly spun his ss between his fingers.


    “Previously, I was too caught up with work to pay much attention to yourings and goings. But a recent trip to Bellfolk had me bump into someone rather unexpected.”


    gα?ησν????s offers tales worth telling


    Kason’s hold on his ss tightened ever so slightly, though he kept hisposure, merely sighing inwardly. Norah had ventured out just once, only to be spotted by the Scott family. Was their encounter truly fated?


    Bryson, puzzled, chimed in, “Isn’t Bellfolk where Nancy’s pianopetition was held? Joanna also went there. She came back looking quite rejuvenated. I assumed she’d found herself a boyfriend.”


    Bryson’s words aimed to lighten the mood.


    Sean slowly stated, “Actually, I encountered a woman wearing a mask there.”


    Bryson’s interest faded instantly. That was typical of men; they were haunted by the memory of a beautiful face. He expected Sean to bring up someone more unexpected. Kason gave Sean a neutral look. “So, is this the reason we came all the way here?”


    Sean met his gaze with a frosty intensity. “Absolutely. You are involved with her, Mr. Hayes, after all.”


    “I don’t know what you mean.”
