The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 532

"But who are you?"

"And what right do you have to stand there and scream at me?"

Cynthia stared in sheer disbelief at the sharp-tongued woman before her.

In the past, Nora would only glare at her with icy, silent resentment.

Knowing that fighting back would only invite harsher punishment, the younger Nora had always swallowed her anger.

Cynthia's ultimate goal back then had been to crush Nora's pride completely, to wipe that defiant look off her face for good.

Yet no matter how many cruel tactics she employed, Nora and her mother were like wild sprouts trapped under a heavy boulder, refusing to die.

They had stubbornly broken through the soil, growing tall and unyielding!

Just looking at Nora's resilience made Cynthia's blood boil.

The thought that Leonard had been obsessively talking about bringing Nora back into the fold recently made her want to rip the girl to shreds.

"Nora, I am your father's wife and the lady of the Hayes Group. If you dare speak to me like that, aren't you afraid your mother will lose her medical care?"

Nora couldn't believe that after all these years, this couple was still relying on the exact same threat.

Had she never met Harold Peyton, she might still be vulnerable to their leverage.

Even then, it would have been a temporary bind.

It was difficult to transfer her job, but not impossible.

If they truly pushed her over the edge, she would simply take her mother and leave the city.

In truth, if Aaron hadn't sworn up and down that he could cure her mother, Nora never would have agreed to keep her at that small, substandard hospital.

She had assumed her future husband would give his absolute best to his mother-in-law.
