NovelEnglishChapter 173:
Susanna stood up, her voice firm, saying, “I knew it was Sean’s decision. When | visited his company earlier, it
felt like nobody was hearing my instructions at all.”
Susanna was quite perceptive.
Phillip’s tone was gentle as he said, “Besides, there's nothing wrong with teaching a lesson to those who deserve
it. Wrongdoers need to face the consequences. Are you okay with Miss Wilson being mistreated?”
Phillip smiled at the mention of “just passing by” in Susanna’s statement.
It was clear Susanna had plans to witness the .
It seemed Susanna had matured without him noticing. Phillip used to fret over the innocent Susanna facing
harshness. Now, it seemed unnecessary. Being with Norah had taught her much.
“Of course not! Norah's too busy to bother with them, but I'm not.
I'll fill her in when she’s back.” Susanna had thought through how to tell Norah the whole story.

“Yeah. Please don’t be troubled by this.
Do what you think is best.

Miss Wilson and Mr. Scott are currently enjoying coffee while chatting,” Phillip replied.
“Norah and Sean ran into each other in Otland? They must be destined to meet.
Otland’s so vast, yet they found each other!” Susanna couldn't help but exclaim.
Phillip chuckled at Susanna’s enthusiastic shout, saying, “Yes, they bumped into each other at a race and
decided to catch up.”
“Okay, Phillip, bringsnews.”
“Ill treat you to something tasty for your trouble.”
“Sure,” Phillip’s voice softened as he spoke to Susanna. Amid his phone call with her, a blonde, blue-eyed lady
approached him, but he dismissed her coldly.
Susanna hung up the phone, feeling dazed. If her ears hadn't deceived her, a lady had just made advances at
Phillip.
She assumed she would tease him or something, but instead, a faintly uneasy feeling crept into her heart. She
rubbed her chin, wondering the cause of this peculiar sensation.
She pressed her hand against her chest, looking puzzled.
Inside the café’s chamber,
Norah and Sean had agreed they were friends previously, making their interaction easy and unforced.
Norah was composed during their conversation, chatting with Sean without a hint of unease.
“We talked about racing again sometime, and here we are, Norah.”
“Yeah, what a coincidence.
You're as skilled as always,” Sean said with a hint of self-mockery. “So what?”
He had only managed to secure second place. His disappointment wasn’t just about the race—it was about his
love life.

It was a double letdown.
Looking at Norah's cold yet graceful countenance, and the distant vibe that kept everyone at arm’s length, he
sighed.
Was it that he failed to evoke any emotions in her? Was he that unimpressive? He started to blhimself.
Norah was flawless, so her lack of interest in him must be his fault.
When Sean wanted to say something, Phillip burst through the door, appearing all tense.
“Stott, terrorist threat at the venue. We need to get out immediately,” Phillip hastily said.
Then, the sound of gunshots and blasts filled the air. Sean quickly got up, his expression turning steely.
He took Norah's wrist in hand. “We need to get out of here.”
Norah was momentarily caught off guard, stumbling before regaining her balance and hastening to match Sean's
quick steps, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.
Sean's profile was striking, with a chiseled jaw, a straight nose, and brows knitted together. His rapid steps
released a distinctly masculine fragrance.
