Chapter 286
In the end, Monica was found by Cory and rescued from the mud.
“Miss Monica, you're safe now,” Cory said.
Monica, who had survived the ordeal, could barely see anything, but Cory’s words were deeply etched in her heart.
This was the first time Cory had seen Monica in such a pitiful state. She was always arrogant and willful, but this time she seemed frightened.
They were on a mountain that the car couldn’t reach. Monica was running a light fever again, so Cory had no choice but to carry her
down the mountain.
His solid back gave Monica a sense of security. Perhaps because of the fever, her heart was pounding rapidly. “By the way, what's your name?” she weakly said.
“Cory, assistant to Mr. Delbert,” Cory replied.
“lm Monica...”
But before Monica could hear Cory’s next words, she couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted.
Cory quickly took her to the hospital for treatment.
Upon receiving the news of Monica’s injury, her parents and Trevor Carlson rushed to the hospital.
Due to their previous prejudices, they all believed that Delbert was responsible for Monica’s injuries.
Their resentment toward Delbert and Harriet intensified.
After learning that Monica had been rescued by Cory, Delbert and Harriet rushed to the hospital immediately, but they were not welcomed by Monica’s family.
Even when they wanted to secretly visit Monica the next day, they were stopped at the entrance.
Harriet had to pull Delbert away.
As soon as they reached the corridor, they saw Cory with severe dark circles under his eyes.
Harriet looked at Cory’s haggard appearance and was somewhat surprised.
“What happened to you, Cory?” she asked.
Cory shook his head. “Madam, I’m fine.”
He looked so haggard because he had taken care of Monica last night while also carrying out Delbert’s orders. He hadn’t slept ght.
He turned to Delbert and said, “Sir, I've captured Nora, but the black escaped. They are cunning and have counter-surveillanc technology. It seems they are mercenaries.”
Delbert rubbed his chin thoughtfully!
The person who could afford to hire so many mercenaries mu financially powerful. “Where is Nora now?” Harriet asked.
“She's in the car,” Cory answered.
Harriet took a deep breath and said, “Il want to see her!”
There were some things she needed to find out. She wanted to know who was behind Nora.
After going through so much, Harriet realized that someone had orchestrated everything behind the scenes. That person was the one who wanted her dead.
She had no idea who she had offended. Delbert objected, saying, “No, you can’t see her. She will be handed over to the police.”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“You know that those men in black who helped Nora are all hired by the same person. To keep both you and me out of danger, | have to find out the truth!” Harriet insisted.
Delbert reluctantly nodded and let Cory lead the way. Nora was confined in the car by Cory’s subordinates. There was no way she could escape.
