?Chapter 1143:
His expression was stern as his n took shape in his mind. “Keep this from Hank and Elsa. We’ll deal with them quietly.”
“Understood!” Mindy nodded.
The day of the banquet arrived quickly.
Norah, dressed formally, reminded her parents in the living room. “First, listen to Gilda. I’ll be sending her messages. Don’t trust anyone else, not even Sean!”
Sean touched his nose, feeling a bit insulted.
“Next, stay alert when you’re at the Wilson family’s house. If I’m not around, don’t trust anyone.”
Calvin thought Norah was overreacting. “We get it, Norah. Don’t worry; we’ll show up right on time!”
He pictured his brother’s surprised reaction in his mind. Would Iker be scared?
Bernice took his arm and said, “Don’t worry, Norah. I’m here with your father. You can go with Sean.”
Norah had felt uneasy all morning, but she pushed her worries aside.
With Gilda and Chayce looking after her parents, everything would go smoothly.
Sean took Norah’s hand and said, “I’ll be right by your side.”

Norah felt a warmfort from Sean’s presence beside her. She stood up and said, “Dad, Mom, I’m heading out with Sean now. I’ll message youter.”
Her parents, dressed in their finest, were ready for the banquet, eager to get back at Iker for all they’d endured.
Norah went alone with Sean, feeling safe since his bodyguards far outnumbered hers.
She left her own guards at the vi to look after her parents.
Sean held Norah’s hand in the car and smoothed the wrinkles between her eyebrows. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.” He was unaware of Norah’s ns or what she intended to do at her banquet. Since she hadn’t shared her ns with him, he assumed she had her reasons. All he needed to do was wait, watch, and offer his full support.
Resting against his chest, Norah said softly, “Sean, once this is all settled, I will discuss my parents with you.”
sping her shoulder firmly, Sean replied, “Well, honey, whatever you decide to do, I’m with you.”
He decided that he would never argue with Norah again.
