Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 749

Nora took a deep, steadying breath.

No!

She needed him to live.

No matter what it took, she had to keep him alive!

With that thought, she forced herself to focus.

She knew Elias's threats weren't empty bluffs.

The Winslow family hadn't secured their spot as the second most powerful house in Northampton by playing fair.

Their resources and intelligence networks were absolute.

If she dared breathe a word of this to Hudson or Jude, Elias would swallow The Ivory Pill without a second thought.

If that happened, all hope would truly be lost.

She couldn't alert the enemy until she had a foolproof plan.

Nora pressed her lips together. Actually, something about the whole situation didn't add up.

Elias didn't need to be this aggressive. He didn't even need to trade The Ivory Pill. All he had to do was wait for Hudson to...

But he hadn't. Instead, he was willing to surrender his greatest leverage just to force her hand immediately.

Something entirely out of Elias's control must have forced him into a corner.

"Soren."

An idea struck Nora, and she quickly called out.

Soren, who had been guarding the door, immediately stepped inside. "Miss..."

"I need you to investigate the Winslow family, specifically Elias. Find out if anyone new has entered his orbit or if anything unusual has happened recently."

"Understood, Miss."

Soren nodded blankly and turned to leave.

Watching him walk away, Nora clenched her fists.

She refused to let Hudson die.

Which meant there was only one path left for her to take.

She just hoped Hudson...

Wouldn't hate her for it.

...

By the time Hudson arrived at the Lancaster Group Research Institute, Professor Campbell and the core development team were already assembled.

Gavin was sitting in the corner of the conference room, clearly having been dragged there by the Professor.
