Chapter 679:
Observing the scene, Yolande couldn't resist speaking up. “I want to vouch for Norah. She is an honest person
and despises doing anything underhanded. | believe there's been a misunderstanding here.”
“Maybe Dolores inflicted it on herself.”
“Perhaps she fell and is now falsely accusing Miss Wilson. Miss Shaw appears evidently weak. It has to be Miss
Wilson who slapped her but is now denying it!”
“Without any security footage, they can only argue their cases. Given Mr. Boyd's temper, he would likely expel
her immediately! But with Mr. Scott present, the outcis uncertain.” The crowd murmured among

Dolores blinked her tear-filled eyes. “Miss Boyd, do you think I'm looking for sympathy? She definitely slapped
Marlin would have still disciplined Norah.
But when he examined her face closely, he was momentarily stunned.
Upon first seeing her, he felt a wave of familiarity and a rush of emotions stirred within him.
Dolores’ voice snapped Marlin back to reality. He couldn’t understand why he was feeling strange emotions in
the presence of Norah. The only person he loved was Dolores, and he believed she had carved out a permanent
place in his heart. Since their reunion, he hadn't wanted to let go of her hand.
He took a deep breath, managing to calm his rising emotions. “Miss Wilson, my girlfriend claims you slapped her.

Sean, however, wasn't buying into Dolores’ version of events. He found it hard to believe that Norah would slap
someone without cause. As her boyfriend, he felt it was his duty to defend her, and his skepticism only

Meanwhile, Derek, unnoticed in the crowd, watched with a troubled expression. Having overheard the
conversation between Dolores and Norah after they exited the restroom, he realized that Dolores was likely
trying to frNorah. He turned to Coen for advice, and they agreed to proceed with caution. Neither of them
was fully aware of the dynamics between Dolores and Norah, and they didn’t want to provoke any backlash,
especially from the powerful Scott family, whose influence extended beyond Silverdale and into Glophia, a region
where Sean had significant sway.
As the tension mounted, Marlin called for security to escort Norah and Sean out. But before anyone could act,
Yolande stepped forward, positioning herself protectively in front of Norah. “Norah isn’t going anywhere. She's
my friend,” she declared firmly.
