Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 306

Olive tilted her head just in time, the sheer force of his fist grazing her ear, leaving a stinging burn in its wake.

The four of them brawled violently across the plaza, the fight deadlocked.

Arthur's movements were precise and lethal, every strike aimed to end the fight.

Olive fought like a wildcat, erratic and impossible to predict.

The twins, Hugo and Harvey, moved with flawless synergy, oscillating perfectly between offense and defense without leaving a single opening.

The sickening sound of fists meeting flesh echoed through the air, sending horrified pedestrians scrambling in every direction amidst overlapping screams.

Time blurred in the chaos before the piercing wail of police sirens finally cut through the distance.

Clearly, a panicked bystander had called it in.

Hugo pulled back first, his brow furrowed in frustration.

If Olive hadn't shown up, the two of them might have been able to handle Arthur and snatch Nora.

But now...

That was completely off the table.

"Harvey, we're out of here!"

Olive was just warming up. Seeing the twins trying to bail, she lunged forward to chase them, only to be yanked back by Arthur's firm grip. "Enough. Let them go."

It was just the two of them, and their top priority was protecting Nora. They couldn't risk walking into another trap; playing it safe was the only option.

Olive pursed her lips in annoyance but obediently followed Arthur back to the SUV.

...

Nora finally realized that Olive had let herself be led away as part of a counter-strategy, yet the whole ordeal had still thoroughly shaken her.

Upon returning to Cloudwater Estate, Arthur had barely parked the car when his phone started buzzing.

"Yes, Boss..."

Nora instinctively looked up. Was that Hudson calling?

She stared eagerly at Arthur, leaning closer to eavesdrop, but he immediately stepped out of the vehicle and walked away to take the call in private.

"Madam, let me tell you..." Olive was just about to excitedly recount the fight, but she stopped when Arthur returned, his face a stony mask.

"Huh? Artie? What's going on?"
