Big Sister wasnât there either?
Where did she go?
After Quentin, whose mind was full of question marks, hung up, he saw that Louis and Warren were looking at him anxiously and waiting for him to make the decision.
Quentin frowned. âWhen Joel went to post bail, they gave him a very strange reason for refusing the bail request, which made me think that Nora must have gotten into trouble.â
Next to him, Louis exclaimed, âSurely she didnât cheat anyone out of the money, did she?â
Quentin and Warren looked at him. âWhat are you talking about?â
Louis said confidently, âThink about it: heâs just someone from a small town in California. How could he possibly have a card with no credit limit? It already seemed so strange to me that one time. Maybe sheâs involved in a fraud syndicate.â
gαâηÏνðâsâ¤com is your story source Warren and Maureen looked at each other.
Maureen also stroked her chin and said hesitantly, âNow that you put it that way, Nora also knows a relatively impressive hacker named Solo!â
âSolo?â
Quentin frowned. âI know that guy â heâs an international hacker whoâs on a foreign wanted list! Why is Nora involved with him?â
Maureen and Warren looked at each other.
Louis came to a conclusion. âItâs all over, it looks like Nora is going to get into some other kind of trouble this time even without the medical malpractice incident! Besides, I hear the Old Maddy situation doesnât look good!â
Warren nodded. âPrecisely because weâve heard that Old Maddy is still unconscious, Maureen and I are so concerned. Also, her vitals are slowly decliningâ¦.. His organs are already starting to fail! Thatâs why we were trying to think of a solution. Sigh.â
Louis said, âItâs over, itâs all over! From the beginning, Uncle Ian disliked Nora, and yet now sheâs gotten herself into so much troubleâ¦.. Quentin, what should we do?â
â⦠Thereâs only one way out now,â Quentin said.
âWhat is it?â
âGet her out of jail.â
ââ¦â

At the police station.
After patrolling the hospital for a while, Morris returned to continue questioning Nora.
Nora was still sitting like a big boss. She leaned back in her chair, stared at him and said, âYouâve looked into everything, havenât you? So, can I go to the hospital now to save my patient?â.
Morris, who had a huge frown on his face, stared at the woman in front of him.
His men had indeed investigated what had happened, and they had also questioned the Smithsâ servants. They all testified that Nora had not used any medicine when she was treating Old Maddy. Instead, she had given him acupuncture.
He looked at Nora sternly. âYou canât leave until we have a result with the investigations.â
Noraâs eyes darkened slightly.
Her voice gradually turned cold. âCaptain Ford, I donât know what youâre investigating, but someone is waiting for me to save your life right now! The more time you waste here, the greater the chance Old Maddy wonât survive!â
Morrisâ expression did not change. He said, âThere are plenty of doctors at the hospital, Miss Smith. Our medical examiners have also rushed in. I hear the Hunts have also sent doctors. It doesnât look like thereâs going to be any trouble even if youâre not there.â
Nora frowned and went away impatiently. âSo, Captain Ford is going to take responsibility if he dies?â
She had been in custody for over six hours now.
In other words, she had been repeatedly interrogated by a large number of people, AND she hadnât slept for six hours!
Her physical discomfort was gradually making her irritable.
However, Morris looked at her sharply and said, âIt seems to me that what Miss Smith wants is not to go and attend to the patient, but to take the opportunity to escape, isnât it?â
The angry Nora was perplexed. âIf you donât trust me, then ask your men to accompany me!â
Morris sneered, âIf I allow you to leave, Miss Smith, Iâm afraid even my men wonât be able to hold you.â
After all, they had already been fooled once twenty years ago!
Nora was speechless.
It was clear that she had had a good impression of Morris when she had interacted with him before, but for some reason, his attitude had changed drastically this time.
Before, Morris had tried to sound her out, but he had also indirectly protected her. Now, however, he was completely hostile and treated her as if she were a murderer.
What had happened?
She did not understand. However, she wasnât interested in finding out at the moment either. She stood up and said, âCaptain Ford, Iâm the doctor attending to old Maddy. Now that something has happened to him, Iâm obligated to treat him. If you keep stopping me, donât blame me if I donât hold back any longer!â.
Nora flexed her wrists as she spoke.
Her personality had always been like that. Once she lost her temper, she didnât care about anything anymore. Even if it was the police station, that wasnât going to stop her from going to treat Old Maddy.
Morris scoffed at the stance she had taken. He asked unhurriedly, âAnd how exactly do you intend not to hold back, Miss Smith?â
Along with his words, the two men beside him immediately drew their guns and pointed them at Nora.
Nora narrowed her eyes.
Just then, a deep, aggressive voice came suddenly from the doorway. âCaptain Ford, donât you think you owe me an explanation for treating my fiancée like that?â
As the voice rang out, someone suddenly opened the door.
Justin appeared in the doorway. The big, tall man stood right there, the aura around him growing sharply and weighing Morris down.
Morris stood up at the sight of him, though he was neither short nor overbearing. âMr. Hunt.â
Justin had already entered the room.
Behind Justin was a veteran Hunt lawyer. He had never lost any of the cases he had handled over the years.
Morris and Justin were facing each other. The two men were evenly matched, neither man losing the momentum of the other.
Justin looked at Nora, who was standing on the other side. There was nothing wrong with her, except that her docile looking almond eyes, which normally looked a little lazy, seemed a little angry.
This made Justinâs gaze turn even colder. He looked directly at Morris and said, âCaptain Ford, shouldnât you be giving me an explanation for detaining my fiancée for no reason?â
Morris lowered his gaze, but remained very aggressive. He replied, âMy apologies, Mr. Hunt, but your fiancée is involved in a confidential case. I am not at liberty to disclose any information.â
Justin narrowed his sharp eyes. âCaptain Ford, perhaps thereâs something you donât understand: Miss Smith is my fiancée; sheâs not someone you can arrest so casually. If you canât produce any real evidence, then Iâll take my fiancée! â
