Chapter 1594
In spite of the fact that there was already proof, Norah still tried to talk her way out of her predicament. "It's just a call log. It doesn't prove anything! Don't you try to change the topic, I'm not here to listen to your hogwash!"
Even as Norah attempted to regain the upper hand, the Riddles were no fools.
Sean coldly whipped his phone out and called the police." Hello, 911..."
A chill radiated across Norah's heart at that instant as she glared at Nicole. "Even if you do not wish to compensate me, you don’t need to besmirch me like this!"
"Compensation? You still have the nerve to ask for compensation?" Nicole sneered as she mocked Norah. "Do you think the Riddle family is some pushover? Fine! Since gratitude is a foreign concept to you, don't blame me for what I'm about to do today, Norah. I'll make you spit out every single penny that you've taken from Mom back then."
Norah instantly panicked, struggling to maintain her composure as she hissed, "Fine... You don't want to pay up, huh?! In that case, we'll meet in court! Let's go, Mr. Mack!"
Ignoring the pain on her knees, Norah forced herself up and turned around to leave.
Before she could, however, Nicole stood in her path, blocking her. "Oh, thinking of leaving, are you? Too late. You won’t be going back to the hotel we've arranged for you. A person like you are only fit to be...in prison!"
"Nicole!!" Norah released a hysterical scream, having lost it." Don't you spout another word of nonsense! I’m not a fool! What can a call log even prove?!"
Seeing that Norah still refused to give up, Nicole sneered." Of course, a call log can't prove anything, but your father had accidentally pressed on the record button before he died. Want to hear the recording?"
The smile on Nicole’s face was cold, confident, and malicious, shattering everything that Norah had in her world of make-believe, and before Norah could even protest, Nicole had already clicked on the recording and played it in front of everyone.
Then, Norah's voice immediately emanated from the phone's speakers. "Mom, Dad... when are you coming to the island? I'm in trouble! I need you to save me!"
