Nora didn’t pay any more attention to Abbott. After the identity check, she went to the specified assembly point with Black Panther and the others.
They were planning to head to the airport in a while to pick up the Queen.
After leaving Abbott, Black Panther came up to her and said, “Ahem. You unexpectedly have some pretty good moves.”
Nora raised her brows. But before she could speak, Black Panther spoke again. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, though. Black Cat is definitely better than you. All that would be no big deal for Black Cat. Also, keep quiet when they start talking about troop deployment, formations, and all that. I will give the directions, instead.”
“… Oh, okay,” Nora said.
Soon, the ten people on Abbott’s side finished the identity checks. The 30 of them then followed the Swiss troops, and with great momentum, got ready to set off for the airport.
Before they set off, Clifford said, “Please turn off your cell phones and turn them in.”
One was not allowed to carry their cell phone on missions. This was a rule.
Nora understood.
Thus, she didn’t plan on asking for special privileges, and she took out her cell phone. However, when she was about to turn it in, it started ringing.
She gestured to Clifford.
Clifford immediately nodded and permitted her to answer the call. Had it been anyone else, he would definitely have been much stricter, but she was Black Cat, after all. On top of that, she had even displayed a bit of her skill just now, so Clifford was quite afraid of her at the moment.
Nora picked up the phone call—it was Cindy, the lady helping her look after her houses in the residential district.
“Ms. Nora, something’s come up. Just thought I’d inform you about it.”
Nora raised her brows. “What happened?”
Cindy replied, “It’s all Liam’s fault!”
Liam? In other words, Spacey?
Wasn’t he already dead?
While Nora was wondering about it, Cindy said huffily, “That Liam is such an as*hole! Do you know? He gave Rene’s address to her family before he set off! And her family found their way here yesterday! They were crazily fierce and forcibly took Rene away…”
Nora lowered her eyes.
She remembered looking into Rene before. She was an orphan taken in by her adoptive parents. However, her adoptive father had abused and even raped her. When her adoptive mother saw what had happened, not only did she not hold her adoptive father responsible but she had even given Rene a beating. That was how Rene had become the way she was.
After leaving them and living with Liam recently, Rene’s condition had improved.
It was just that Liam was simply too nasty. After making use of her, he pushed her right back in there?
However, Rene was just a stranger to her.
Nora was not a saint. Without saying anything else, she prompted, “Uh-huh, and then?”
Rene was mentally ill, so in the eyes of the law, she was deemed legally incapacitated and was required to have a guardian. Her adoptive parents were her legal guardians.
Therefore, legally, there was no problem with them taking Rene away.
Cindy said angrily, “I didn’t stop them because I thought they were legally allowed to take her, but I didn’t expect things to go so wrong today! They live relatively far away, so they didn’t go home immediately after they took her yesterday; they instead went to a hotel nearby. That night, when her adoptive father was about to violate her again, her adoptive mother found out and they got into a fight. The man killed her adoptive mother and was about to kill her too, but he was arrested by the police in time. Poor Rene, there were injuries all over her. She has been sent to the hospital, but because she has no other relatives, the police contacted me when they found out that she is my tenant. Boss, I’d like to bring her back.”
Cindy had always been a kind woman.
Back when she was in a desperate situation, Nora had helped her out. Because of this, she also tried to help her fellow Americans as much as she could.
In the past, Cindy would never have reported something like this to her, but because it involved Liam, she had brought it up.
Nora answered indifferently, “You can do as you wish.”
And then, she hung up.
