Chapter 1550: Chapter 1650

Debra’s POV:

My brow deepened into a furrow.

How had the situation deteriorated so swiftly in mere days?

Puzzled, I inquired, “It was simply a minor collision with Shirley.

How did it escalate to this extent?”

With a smile shadowed by sorrow, Nora replied, “Debra, you might not be aware, but offending Shirley is something no one in the witch clan dares do.

No one is prepared to provoke the wrath of the clan leader’s daughter on behalf of a despised mixed-blood witch, given how vindictive Shirley is.

”

Remembering Shirley’s spiteful nature, I realized the accuracy of Nora’s statement, recalling that even Andrew had involved an outsider like me to decline her demands.

Nora looked at me with eyes full of hope.

“Shirley is targeting me, and I’m without refuge.

Debra, is there any chance you could allow me to stay and work at the manor?”

“What? Me?” I responded, pointing to myself in total bewilderment.

“Yes,” Nora confirmed, her tone soft.

“Only the deputy clan leader has the power to protect me right now.

Shirley respects Mr.

Pierce greatly and wouldn’t dare challenge his decisions regarding whom he chooses to shelter.

”

Her explanation resonated with truth.

Yet, despite my willingness to help her, I had to confess that I wasn’t really Andrew’s fiancee.

Technically, I was merely a temporary guest here, lacking any authority to extend sanctuary.

Regretfully, I told her, “I’m sorry, I can’t make that decision.

”

A look of disappointment crossed Nora’s face, yet she didn’t insist.

Maintaining a courteous smile, she said, “Alright, I understand.

I won’t impose any further.

I’ll just leave now.

”

As she stood, gave a respectful bow, and began to leave.

I saw the abrasion on the back of her hand and how thin she was.

Moved by compassion, I hurriedly intervened, “Wait.

While I don’t have the authority myself, I can talk to Andrew.

If he consents, you’ll be able to stay.

”

“Really?” Nora’s eyes, dim before, now lit up with hope.

I confirmed, “Really.

”

Nora’s eyes brimmed with joy as she began to thank me.

“Thank you so much, Debra! You’re such a good person.

”

She was interrupted by Andrew’s voice echoing from the doorway.

“Debra, after so long, you’re finally willing to step out.

”

I turned to see Andrew entering with a lively step and a welcoming smile.

“You’ve come out today, what’s going on? If you need help, just let me know.

I’m here to assist you.

”

Surprised, I asked, “What brings you here?”
