NovelEnglishChapter 443:
As soon as Norah appeared, Alice quickly spoke up.
She had just returned. Dressed in a denim suit, she looked stunning; her outfit accentuated her slim waist and
elongated her legs.
Alice removed her denim hat and began loosening her braids.
“Susanna toldthere’s been sgossip about you online. Letknow once you identify the guy
responsible, and I'll help you get even.”
“How can you helpget revenge if you're still in a wheelchair?”
Norah retorted as she moved into the living room and sat down, eager for a chat with Alice.
Alice, although confined to a wheelchair with injuries to her shoulders and legs, remained confident.
“Don’t underestimate me. | can still hold my own in a fight.”

Her blond hair was intricately braided in several thin plaits, which was a task done by a bored Susanna.
Alice patiently undid each braid.
“I'm staying at your place now. If anything comes up, do keepinformed.”

Living with Susanna had given Alice a deeper insight into Norah's life.
To Alice, Norah always seemed unbothered. But in reality, her heart was full of worries.
“Alice, | won't hesitate if | ever need your help.”
Norah always spoke her mind around Alice. She was straightforward in both her words and actions. She
mentioned her upcoming business trip to Alice.
“I didn’t think it would drag on this long. Alice, will you be okay here in Glophia by yourself?”
To Norah's astonishment, Alice seemed unfazed.
“Norah, you're really sellingshort. I'm not a kid, and | can look after myself. Plus, Susanna’s here too. You
don’t need to worry about me.”
“Are you planning to head back to Otland, then?” Concerned that Alice might leave secretly, Norah asked
through clenched teeth.
“Will you leave to see Riss?”
Riss was gaining influence in Otland, working on the shady side of business, and he could be targeted for
retaliation at any time. If Alice were with him and he wasn’t strong enough, he wouldn’t be able to protect her.
Norah laid out all these dangers to Alice.
Alice remained quiet, smoothing her fingers through her untidy hair, the braids now undone.
Norah had hardly any interaction with Riss and made no judgments about him.
“Norah, | get it.”
Alice paused, her fingers freezing mid-air.
“I'm not going back, at least for now.”

Sean had secured a passport for Alice that was valid for a year, allowing her to stay legally for that duration.
“Ever since | chere, I've been thinking a lot about Riss,” Alice confessed, fiddling with her fingers. When she
had left Riss years ago, she thought she would never see him again. Yet, just a few years had passed before they
reunited.
“I can’t be with him anymore. It's too exhausting. He's surrounded by too many women. I’m just one more to
him.”
Tears gathered in her eyes, her nose twitching as she spoke.
“When he’s away from me, there's no one to hold him back. He can live freely, without any constraints.”
Alice remembered something Riss had told her when they met again. He claimed he hadn't been with any other
woman. Alice found that hard to believe, thinking he still saw her as naive.
But she was wiser now. As Alice shared her past, Norah realized how fickle human hearts could be.
The pair had once loved each other deeply, yet men still yearned for ty.
Ultimately, women had to fend for themselves.
Norah gently placed a hand on Alice's shoulder.
“It’s good you have a plan. | just worry you might not see things clearly and do something you'll regret.”
