Chapter 271:
Upon waking up the following morning, Norah checked her phone and was confused by a notification she
received. She quickly leapt out of bed and hurried from the bedroom to the living area. There, Sean, already
dressed in his suit, was focused on his laptop.
“Good morning, darling,” Norah greeted him.
Looking up, Sean noticed Norah still in her sleepwear, her hair a bit disheveled, yet her eyes sparkled with
excitement.
“What's going on, honey?” Sean asked.
“Check this out!” Norah eagerly held up her phone for him to see.
Sean leaned in and noticed a bank notification. “You've received a deposit of ten million dollars into your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchecking account. Your new account balance is...”
“This is unexpected. Did someone mistakenly send money to my account? Is it illegal money laundering? Has my
information been compromised? But that’s impossible!” Norah furrowed her brow as she muttered to herself.
Being at the top of her gas a hacker meant her personal details were encrypted, keeping her account and
profile safe from leaks.
“Silly girl, I'm the one who did it.” Sean chuckled.
At Sean’s words, Norah looked up at him, feeling a bit dazed. “You sent this? But why all of a sudden?”

Sean's expression softened, his charm evident. “Why not? | just wanted to give you spocket money. I've
been swamped with work and haven't been able to spend much twith you. Consider it a small apology.”
Sean was still feeling guilty about Norah's kidnapping the previous day. After Kelvin had successfully retrieved 60
million dollars from the Breaker last night, Sean quickly decided to send scash to Norah as pocket money
for her tin Otland. He hadn't anticipated her overwhelming reaction.
Norah was quite well-off. When she checked the stock market last night, she saw that all her stocks had gone up
in price. She made over ten million dollars in profit. She had dedicated tto learning and investing in the stock
market, so her financial success wasn't just a stroke of luck.
Norah compressed her lips together. “As I've mentioned before, you don’t need to givemoney.” Thinking
about the array of jewelry and clothing she owned made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
“Darling, do you enjoy giving gifts?” Norah asked. Before they beca couple, when they were just friends,
Sean had gifted her a diamond brooch, various clothes, and a pink diamond. The memory of the note he'd sent
cto mind: “You're the one for me, Norah.” Norah would still turn crimson when she recalled his note.
To hide her pink ears, she retrieved her phone and turned around slightly. “I'm going to freshen up. We'll talk
later.” Norah lowered her head.
It only dawned on her at that moment that she had rushed out without taking a shower or brushing her teeth.

Sean was sitting in the chair, his hand reaching out, but Norah suddenly spun around and hurried into her room.
Sean withdrew his gaze and tapped the button on his Bluetooth earpiece. “Resthe meeting.”
The executives on the call were silent, cautious not to disrupt the conversation between Sean and Norah. Not
being from Cesland, they couldn't fully grasp the specifics of what their CEO had said, but the affection in his
voice led them to believe he was speaking with his girlfriend. Seeing this softer side of the usually stern Sean
was a revelation for them. They were all amazed.
Norah rushed back to her room and gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Finding no trace of sleepiness or messy
trails of slobber, she let out a sigh of relief. She was concerned about maintaining her image in front of Sean.
As she began to brush her teeth, she pondered their relationship. She hadn't given Sean anything in return for
his generosity, while he continuously showered her with gifts, expecting nothing in return. The gifts he gave her
were worth nearly a million dollars, yet she had never reciprocated his kindness.
If others found out, they would accuse her of being a gold digger. Norah's eyes dropped to the ground, showing
her distress.
