Chapter 90 Nora’s Anger “Don't try to meddle in my affair! Get lost!”
Since that incident, every time Nora saw Bessie, memories of her mistreatment by those men on the illicit ship would resurface. She thought she was dirty and nauseous, intensifying her hatred towards
Bessie. She angrily shook off Bessie’s hand and shouted at her, asking her to leave...
If Bessie had recognized her in time and hadn’t given those human traffickers that evil order, how could she have been... by them?
“Nora...” Bessie, worried about her, tried to reach for her hand. “Don’t touch me. Go away!”
Provoked, Nora forcefully pushed Bessie away, causing her to stumble and hit the table corner. Bessie’s forehead split open, and she saw stars as blood came out of the sizable cut.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Nora, though briefly sympathetic, quickly dismissed it.
Bessie barely managed to steady herself against the table.
“Okay, | won't disturb you. Have a good rest. Don’t let those online comments get to you. I'll find a way to deal with it!” After comforting her, Bessie finally turned and staggered out.
Nora sneered behind her back, thinking, ‘You'll deal with it? How? Are you going to kneel and beg Clifton, the cursed old man again?”
But Bessie’s words indeed sparked an idea in Nora’s mind. She could
Thinking of this, Nora immediately dialed the number of the person in black.
As for Harriet, no doubt, she had also noticed the online insults
portraying Nora as a fraud.
She smirked and turned off her phone, her bright, beautiful eyes filled

She had a subtle feeling that, following the previous incident, Nora had started to question whether she was as naive as she seemed and might test her at some point.
Harriet wasn’t afraid Nora would do something; she was afraid she wouldn't! Once she made a move, she would have a tragic end!
Over the next few days, Harriet focused on healing on the island. Besides eating and sleeping, she spent her time staring into space.
Her injuries had almost healed in the past few days. However, during this time, Delbert rarely spoke to her and never shared a bed with her, except for their daily meals together.
When it was time to bed, he would either work in his study or go to the guest bedroom to sleep. Although they were under the same roof, they seemed like strangers.
Harriet couldn't figure out why Delbert suddenly became so

fall.
The sea breeze gently tousled her long hair, and her slender back exuded a sense of sorrow and loneliness. “What are you thinking about?”
Suddenly, a deep, hoarse voice behind her brought her back to reality.
She turned around and saw Delbert standing there, his eyes fixed on
her.
His dark, narrow eyes carried an unfathomable mystery, like a starry sky with a deadly allure.
During these days, this was the first time Delbert had spoken to her.
Harriet stared at him in a daze, unsure how to respond.
“Are you thinking about Vernon?”
Seeing her in a daze again, Delbert became furious!
