?Chapter 1333:


    “Kelvin, control your subordinate.”


    Kelvin stiffened as the weight of Sean’s displeasure settled over him. Trembling slightly, he approached Xenia and gripped her arm. “Mr. Scott is in no mood right now. You should leave.”


    Xenia had always beenpliant. Cold to inferiors, warm to those above her—a bnce that made her presence here eptable. But now, she had crossed a line.


    Kelvin knew it was his oversight. He should’ve warned Xenia beforehand.


    Xenia jerked away, her face flushed with frustration. “I haven’t finished speaking! Mr. Scott, I have always admired—”


    Before she could continue, Kelvin mped a hand over her mouth, dragging her from the room. The other two quickly followed, mumbling excuses before departing.


    Therge room fell silent, leaving only Norah and Sean. Norah crossed her arms, a sly smile ying on her lips. “So, this is what you’ve been trying to hide? Now I know.” The light overhead illuminated Sean’s sharp features. His dark eyes were focused entirely on her.


    “I didn’t want to scare you, honey. The truth is… I am the leader of Sacredice.”


    Norah swallowed hard.


    Feel the magic at gα?ησν????s?cο??


    The Sacredice wasn’t just any organization but an entity steeped in mystery and power. She had once considered turning to them for answers about her parents.


    “If you’re the leader of Sacredice, does that mean the whole organization is yours?” she asked.


    Sean shook his head. “Not exactly. I manage Sacredice, but it’s not mine. It was founded by my father, years before I came of age. I was sent abroad as a child to learn what it meant to lead both Sacredice and the Scott family. When I came of age, I took over both, and my father left to travel the world with my mother.”


    Norah’s heart ached for him. He had borne such immense responsibility from such a young age. Running both the Sacredice and the Scott family couldn’t have been easy.


    She murmured, “Sean, you’ve done an incredible job.”


    He looked at her, surprised. “You don’t me me? I was the one who ordered not to take on your case back then.” In this moment of truth, he felt it was only right to confess everything.


    “I did investigate your parents but found nothing. That’s why no one from Sacredice epted the Wilson family’s request.”


    “I see,” she said softly.
