Chapter 997 Is It Really The Dark Night
During their confidential discussions, Norah and Alice considered various theories, and Alice's hypothesis seemed most credible.
Consequently, Norah shifted her attention away from the undocumented migrants in Surella, focusing instead on preparing for her grandfather's surgery.
Thanks to Norah's use of traditional herbal remedies, Keenan's health had markedly improved. He was now able to sit up and talk with visiting family members.
Keenan had his attomey certify the transfer of the Frazier family shares, increasing Norah's stake to ten percent. This decision faced no opposition from the Fraziers.
Both Huntley and Keenan acknowledged that without Norah, the Miller family would not have vanished so swiftly from Surella, nor would the Frazier family be enjoying such peace.
Those shares were a gesture of gratitude to Norah.
Upon leaming this, Norah grew even more affectionate towards the Frazier family, appreciating their sincere concern for her.
In contrast, within the Wilson family, Iker and others wished her harm simply to gain control of the
company shares. Sean's presence didn't disrupt Norah's routine. She continued caring for her grandfather, occasionally
enjoyed shopping sprees and outings with Alice, and visited her cousins at their schools Research on a specialized heart disease medication in Bainbridge's professor's lab was advancing quickly. Bainbridge excitedly predicted that it might be successful within a year.
One day, Norah left the lab after finishing her drug production.
The lab where Bainbridge's professor worked was spacious, and she had requested to use it for her research. After Bainbridge's professor reported this to the school, they swiftly granted approval.
She was producing Body-nourishing Pills, which significantly benefited her health. Her parents had been taking these pills daily since their return home, and their health had significantly improved.
This was the most valuable medicine she could provide, and she believed it was only fair that her mother's family also benefited, everyone deserved a share.
"You want to pick me up? No need, I drove myself. Just head to my grandfather's house, and you can have dinner with me there," Norah said.
After ending the call with Alice, Norah then called Sean. "I'm finished here. Do you want to come over for dinner? Alice is available today as well, so I'll have our family cook prepare something delicious for you." Sean paused. "I have a meeting coming up soon. It might run late. Don't wait up for me, I'll head back as soon as I'm done."
Norah let out a gentle sigh, "Okay, understood."
Sean had promised to take her out once his business was squared away. When he was immersed in work,
he was completely dedicated, working tirelessly day and night.
As his girlfriend, the best Norah could do was to occasionally bring him home-cooked meals when she
found the time.
While driving home, she rolled down her window, feeling the warm breeze against her face. The car stereo blasted upbeat rock and roll, and she rhythmically tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. As she drove, she noticed something odd. Two black cars persistently followed her, matching her
every turn.
Could they be after her?
Norah glanced at the rearview mirror, raising an eyebrow. So, the Dark Night, having been quiet for so long, was now making a move?
She called Alice, her voice teasing. "Looks like someone couldn't stay idle any longer."
Alice sounded thrilled. "Is it really the Dark Night?"
Norah laughed. "The organization's emblem on the cars is quite unmistakable, but I can't see who's inside You need to gather some people and head this way. We can't let them slip away."
"Understood, I'm on my way."
At the next intersection, Norah made a sharp turn, steering the car onto the street to her right.
The two cars trailing her continued to follow, not hesitating for a moment.
