Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 815

...

A series of invisible question marks practically materialized over Nora's head.

Hudson smiled, ignoring her confusion to shift the topic. "Do you know why Elias Winslow had a sudden heart attack?"

Nora blinked in surprise. "You know?"

Hudson let out a low chuckle, a flash of mockery crossing his eyes. "Even I didn't expect that a senior maid who worked for the Winslows for over twenty years was actually a planted mole. She cracked the safe and stole the remaining half of the Ivory Pill. Elias caught her red-handed, which triggered his attack."

Nora was horrified. "The Ivory Pill was stolen? By who?"

"Don't panic. Listen to me..."

Hudson took her hand, his thumb gently stroking her knuckles. His voice dropped to a low hum. "It was the Fairchild Shadows... working for my dear father-in-law."

"My father's... people?" Nora froze for a second. "Why... why would he want the Ivory Pill?"

She knew he definitely wasn't trying to help Hudson detox out of the goodness of his heart. Which meant...

Nora frowned deeply. Did he target the Ivory Pill because she refused to give the Fairchilds half the profits from the Aurora Gold Deposit?

He was trying to use Hudson's life as a bargaining chip to force her to hand over the gold mine.

She clenched her fists, a suffocating chill spreading through her chest that overshadowed everything else.

That man was her biological father.

They shared the same blood.

Yet every single thing he did was designed to back her into a corner.

"Hudson, I'm so sorry..."

Before she could finish the sentence, a warm weight descended on her lips.

Hudson's kiss was light, just a brief brush against her mouth before he pulled back.
