Chapter 238:
The discomfort from the needle’s sting was sharp but shallow, much like a swarm of ants biting, leaving a
stinging sensation on the surface of the skin.
“Stop it! Ouch!” Jimena attempted to rise and flee, yet the pain cin relentless waves, forcing her to inch
forward on the floor, her fingers blanching from the tight grip.
“Did you ever imagine you'd find yourself in such a predicament?” Norah asked.
Norah's hands were remarkably steady, holding three needles with ease. As she set to work, Jimena let out
screams and cries for mercy. “I admit my mistake! | know | was wrong! Please, letgo, I'm begging you.”
“The moment you entertained thoughts of revenge, | had resolved not to let you off easily. I'm spiteful, for if I'm
provoked, retaliation is a certainty,” Norah retorted casually.
Norah had incapacitated one of Jimena’s hands the previous day. Despite her injury, Jimena did not forsake her
own pleasures with other men. Now, as Jimena lay on the floor attempting to flee, her movement was limited to

“Please, no more! Oh, the agony is unbearable...”
“Can’t handle it already? Remember, you enlisted four men to harm Alice just yesterday?” Norah's eyes turned
cold as she spoke. “This is merely the beginning.” Norah's voice was chilling, echoing like a tolling bell in
Jimena's ears, a harbinger of the dread that clutched at her soul.
The thought of the looming torture, the nature of which she could not begin to fathom, sent shivers through her,
amplifying her cries into desperate wails.

Sean frowned. “It’s rather noisy here.”
“Okay, | got it,” Norah said, plucking a hair and sliding it through the eye of a needle. “I'm quite skilled in
acupuncture. Letdemonstrate a bit of my sewing prowess.”
What was Norah's target? Naturally, it was the source of the noise.
Jimena'’s cries ceased suddenly, as though someone had seized her by the throat, leaving her mouth agape, yet
silent.
Upon seeing this, Jack experienced an inexplicable discomfort around his mouth. Norah was merciless—her
techniques of inflicting pain surpassed even his own.
Kelvin leaned toward Phillip, murmuring, “P, our leader's girlfriend is truly remarkable. Only a unique individual
could catch our leader's fancy.”
“Could anyone ordinary stand beside the wise, formidable, and handsSean? Only a woman of Norah's
caliber deserves Sean,” Kelvin added. “Strikingly gorgeous yet ruthless when the situation requires it.”
While Norah handled the torment, Sean helped with capturing the moment on video. Such harmony!
“You're by the leader's side daily. You must know Miss Wilson well. Right? Spill the beans. How did she and the

Phillip reflected on the previous events and hesitated.
How was he to respond? Beyond knowing Norah as the Supernatural Doctor, he was clueless about the details of
the other events that had unfolded, including Norah's divorce, the dread following an accidental murder, and her
temporary avoidance of Sean.
“Why does their story concern you? | have nothing to share,” Phillip declined, choosing silence over disclosure.
He lacked the interest in engaging in idle chatter with Kelvin. Talking with Susanna and cheering her up seemed
a far better use of his time.
“Con, P. We rarely meet. Share something about our leader,” Kelvin pressed, brushing his silvery locks and
fluttering his eyelashes in a silent plea directed at Phillip.
Kelvin, driven by his thirst for gossip, stooped to a level of flirtation he typically found distasteful. However,
Phillip remained immune to such tactics, save for those from Susanna. Firmly pushing Kelvin away, he made his
stance clear. “Enough of that. Don’t try those tricks on me.”
Phillip was undeniably straight, and Kelvin’s ambiguous preferences had no place attempting to charm him.
Rebuffed, Kelvin looked at Phillip with hurt eyes. “So, this is how it is? I'm out there, purring away in the work on
missions, and you've all decided to sidelineby not spilling the tales of our leader's love story, haven't you?”
