Chapter 852
Yvonne switched to a stern tone, “Jonathan, if you keep hesitating, it’s not just you who’s gonna get hurt! Why do
you think Norah is working as a waitress in Xavier’s restaurant? Xavier’s bad news at first glance, he must be
involved in Estelle’s scheme, and now they’re targeting Norah!”

Jonathan shot her a cold glance and walked away. He had a meeting in the afternoon, but he was in no mood for it
now. He called Chuck to handle the meeting details, then drove off to the Movie Center.
It was already three in the afternoon. The barbecue place was empty of customers, and Norah was playing mobile
games with Damian and the others. Hearing someone walk in, Norah looked up and smiled, “Welcome.”

Damian and the others also stood up. They had met Jonathan before, but back then he was friendly and polite,
even doing them a big favor. But the man now exuded a cold and oppressive aura.
“What brings you here?” Norah asked cautiously, fearing her uncle more than her own parents.
Jonathan replied with a blank expression, “If I didn’t come, how long were you planning to keep messing around?”
Norah was stunned, then she pulled out a chair for Jonathan, “Sit down, let me explain!”
Jonathan sat down and calmly said, “No need to explain anything, just bring Xavier to me!”
Norah quickly said, “It’s not Mr. Flemmings‘ fault, if you have any questions, just ask me!”
Jonathan looked at her calmly, “Don’t make me repeat myself, go now!”
Norah didn’t dare to defy Jonathan’s words. Seeing the worried expressions of Damian and the others, she frowned
and headed upstairs.
Xavier’s injury on his back wasn’t fully healed, but he could walk downstairs. Hearing that Norah’s uncle wanted to
see him, he immediately understood Jonathan’s intention and put on a shirt to go downstairs.
He noticed Norah constantly glanced at Xavier with anxiety, and Jonathan’s face grew colder.
Xavier asked the others to leave and spoke with Jonathan alone. He was ready to be questioned by Jonathan, but he
didn’t expect the first question to be, “What’s the deal with you and Estelle?”
He didn’t ask about Norah but Estelle instead, which changed Xavier’s expression. He poured a cup of water and
handed it to Jonathan, smiling lightly, “We’re just friends!”
“What kind of friends, and how did you meet?” Jonathan stared at him intently.
Despite the strong aura of the man in front of him, Xavier didn’t feel scared. He looked up and met his gaze, “Sorry,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI can’t tell you that! And whatever’s between me and Estelle, it has nothing to do with Norah. If you don’t like her
working here, just take her away!”
Jonathan frowned, “Does Estelle know Norah is working here?”
“She does!”
“Did she know about Norah being kidnapped before?”
Xavier paused, seeming to understand Jonathan’s meaning, and explained, “Estelle just didn’t want to worry you, so
she didn’t tell you.”
“Really?” Jonathan sneered.
“What are you doubting?” Xavier asked sharply.
“You’re not telling me anything, aren’t you deliberately making me suspicious?”
Xavier chuckled, “There’s no need to get angry, and I won’t reveal any information. All I can tell you is that Estelle’s
past has nothing to do with her present, she’s with you because she truly likes you, no other motives.”
“Motive?” Jonathan sneered, “I’ve heard that word plenty of times already!”
