Chapter 401:
“I left after you departed, so I'm unaware of what you're referring to.”
Jolie was curious how Norah had identified her involvement without surveillance footage.
“Jolie Austin, are you foolish? There were only three people in the office, and no one else accessed my computer.
It's evident that you were involved.”
“I did accidentally hit your computer as | walked by, but | didn’t delete anything. There's a misunderstanding
here.”
After pausing for a moment, Jolie pretended to realize something.
“Was something deleted?”
“It was just a file, nothing overly crucial.”
If she couldn’t recover it on her computer, she could always hack into the hospital's system later.
“If it’s not significant, then its deletion is inconsequential.”

Jolie, faced with Norah directly, hoped inwardly that the file wasn’t crucial. She could only talk, feeling scared
when someone challenged her, fearing Norah might exploit her background against her. She limited herself to
small actions like writing anonymous complaints; anything more was beyond her courage.
As she deleted the file, she was torn between hoping it held importance and wishing it didn’t.
“I dislike it when others touch my things without asking.”
Abruptly, Norah stepped closer to Jolie, gripping her wrist firmly and lifting it, her eyes emanating coldness as
she stared directly at Jolie.
“If this happens again, you won't be able to touch anything of mine.”
Her words carried a chill, causing Jolie to freeze, her teeth chattering involuntarily.
“I won't do it again...”
She confessed fearfully, the pain in her wrist and the cold tone of Norah leaving her terrified.
She repeated, trembling, “I won't do it again.”
Norah pulled her hand away firmly.
“Take this as a warning.”
She glanced at Jolie.
“Consider it a second opportunity.”
Jolie shivered intensely, realizing that Norah was referring to her anonymous complaint letter.
Jamison had mentioned that Norah had pardoned her once; otherwise, if Norah had pressed the matter, Jolie
might have been forced to leave the hospital after that incident.
She nodded timidly, avoiding eye contact with Norah.
Norah was genuinely intimidating in certain ways. Jolie believed these minor occurrences would slip under the
radar, yet Norah always uncovered the responsible individual.
Norah gave her a frosty glance as she walked past. They were coworkers, but in the event of another occurrence,
Norah would be unforgiving.
To prevent further issues, Norah sent the report straight to Joanna.
“Is it too late now?” she texted.

Joanna replied, “No, not at all!!!”
Getting this report before Bryson’s wedding wasn’t too late! Thankfully, luck was still on Sean's side.
Joanna felt so elated that she almost leaped out of her wheelchair!
The Andrews and Carter couples had already discussed the wedding details in the living room.
The Andrews couple wore somber expressions, while the Carter couple’s tone hinted at them almost admitting
they were auctioning off their daughter.
They solely focused on gaining advantages for themselves, neglecting their daughter's needs. The Andrews
couple endured for the sake of the unborn baby.
Kathy played with her fingers, stealing shy glances at Bryson.
“I'll head hand wait. Bryson, reach out if you need anything.”
Sharon smiled happily.
“We're family now. The young ones should nurture their bond. Kathy is a bit reserved around those she fancies,
but they'll becmore acquainted with more interactions.”
Raina pursed her lips. Not familiar yet, but already in bed? They must be after money like mad.
