Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 560

Lancaster Group had officially become the most dazzling force in the market.

The industry landscape was completely reshuffled.

But none of the outside chaos reached Cloudwater Estate.

The biting cold of winter hadn't fully arrived yet, and November in San Francisco still carried the lingering warmth of late autumn.

"I saw the weather forecast. It's supposed to snow in Northampton this week..."

Hudson looked up from his breakfast. "You want to go now?"

"Yeah!" Nora nodded eagerly.

Even though the forecast predicted snow in two days, who knew if it might come early?

She absolutely refused to miss the first snow.

It would be their first snowfall since they got married.

"Then pack your things. We'll head out first thing tomorrow morning."

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of San Francisco, the atmosphere was drastically different.

Ever since her divorce from Silas Lancaster, Ginger Joyce had been sent back to the Joyce family.

She used to be the high and mighty Mrs. Lancaster, but now her status had plummeted.

She hated Silas for pushing her into a nightmare and then discarding her like trash.

But she hated Nora Reed even more.

If it weren't for Nora, her child wouldn't have died, she wouldn't have lost her uterus, and she wouldn't be in this miserable state.

It was all her fault!

Ginger looked up, a twisted, obsessive coldness churning in her eyes.

She wasn't going to let this go.

She was going to drag Nora down to hell and make that miserable brat taste the living death she was experiencing.

Ginger took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and dialed a number.

It rang several times before a deep male voice answered. "Hello?"

"I want to make a deal with you."

...

Knowing she was going to Northampton with Hudson to see the first snow put Nora in a fantastic mood, and she practically floated through the office over the next few days.

That afternoon, after signing the last document, she leaned back in her chair and stretched. She suddenly remembered that Sienna Quigley's birthday was coming up.

Sienna had mentioned a specific designer bracelet she loved, but because it was out of production, she hadn't bought it. By the time she wanted it, it was sold out.

Nora had made a mental note of the design and asked around. She finally got word about it yesterday.

Olive immediately shielded Nora and guided her outside.

But the moment they stepped out of the store, a massive wave of people surged from the mall entrance, scattering wildly like a disturbed ant colony.

Olive pulled Nora to the side, avoiding the worst of the stampede.

Suddenly, Nora caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure darting out from the shadows at the corner of the street, staring dead at her.

Nora's heart skipped a beat.

The man lunged straight out of the shadows toward her.

Olive reacted faster. In the blink of an eye, she stepped in front of Nora and delivered a brutal kick, sending him flying several feet away!

But at the same time, another figure slipped out silently from the side.

Nora felt a powerful grip clamp down on her wrist, yanking her violently away.

"Madam!"

Olive's pupils shrank in terror. She tried to rush forward, but several men surrounded her. They attacked relentlessly, aiming for lethal blows, making it impossible for her to break free.

Nora stumbled as she was dragged along. She frantically twisted her wrist, her nails digging deep into the man's hand until she drew blood. The man grunted in pain but only tightened his grip.

"Help! Someon—"

Before she could finish, a large hand clamped tightly over her mouth...
