Chapter 909



The waitress was quite upset.

Clifford had brought the group in the hope that King would become infatuated with them, after which he would gift the chosen ones to her. If they could get King’s attention, their path to success would be assured.

Unexpectedly, however, whether they were sweet and pretty, dominatrix or pure and innocent, King didn’t bother to so much as glance at them. This filled the waitress with absolute indignation.

Not only was she the most beautiful of the group, but her muscles were also the most beautiful among them. How could she be inferior to Black Cat? Therefore, she couldn’t help but want to pull off Black Cat’s mask and let everyone compare the two of them.

Clearly he had succeeded, his hand had clearly reached Black Cat’s mask, and yet, the next moment….

Bam!

She was kicked with great force, sending her flying.

Everyone present was stunned.

What surprised them, however, was not that the waitress was kicked, but that it was Mr. King, the man himself, who had kicked her.

He had grabbed Black Cat’s shoulder with one hand and then stepped in front of her, completely blocking her from the attack and keeping her protected behind him. Everyone who saw this gasped.

Even Lawrence couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

Boss, has he been totally bewitched by that woman?

Have you forgotten that she is your bodyguard and not the other way around?

Lawrence was on the verge of regretting this fact, he felt terribly wronged by Nora. No, this should not happen. He was a straight man. He should not allow Miss Smith to be kept in the dark.

He thought about the fact that the next day they would be visiting the Schmidt’s. From what he had heard, Miss Smith and the three children were also at the Schmidt’s house. Once they went, he was to warn her of this.

Clifford hadn’t expected this to happen either. Furious, he had someone carry the kicked waitress off the premises, and then, he said grimly, “Rest assured, I’ll give you a proper explanation for this, Mr. King!”

Justin gave Clifford a long look and said, “Good. Please contact my secretary regarding disciplinary action to be taken against her.”

This meant he was going to see the matter through to the end.

Realizing what he meant, Clifford sighed inwardly and nodded vigorously.

Only then did Justin leave with Nora.

The Queen felt a little disgruntled at how protective he had been of Black Cat a moment ago. However, in the face of outsiders, the Queen had always stood with absolute grace and poise, so she said nothing.

They arrived at the parking lot.

As King and the Queen said polite goodbyes, Nora felt someone tugging on her sleeve. She turned her head to the side to see Black Panther behind her. She immediately took a few steps back and asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”

Black Panther said, “Abbott plans to unmask you. Be careful when you’re with King and don’t expose yourself.”

“Understood.”

Nora replied calmly.

However, this made Black Panther very nervous. He said, “Don’t take it lightly or let your guard down. I know you are skilled, but as assassins, aside from our fighting skills, there are many other things we can use to prove our identity…”

Black Panther wasn’t finished, but King had already climbed into the car and was calling out to Nora. So, Nora grunted a couple of times perfunctorily, then turned and drove off, which made Black Panther panic.

It didn’t matter if she was exposed, but it would be terrible if it ended up affecting Black Cat’s name!

In any case, it wouldn’t do any good even if he panicked. Nora had already gotten into King’s car and driven away.

This action of Nora’s caused the Queen to narrow her eyes again, but right after, she let out a soft snort. She had been a little jealous at first, but when she suddenly thought of Nora, who was at Queenie’s, her jealousy suddenly disappeared.

Black Cat had saved her life, so she wouldn’t want to make things difficult for Black Cat.

In that case, he would let King’s feelings for Black Cat grow even more. In this way, wouldn’t Nora lose King’s favor?

Now that she saw things from another perspective, she suddenly felt liberated!

The Queen began to hum a tune merrily – she would be delighted as long as she made Nora unhappy!

Come to think of it, Black Cat sure was her lucky star.

Tsk, tsk. The next day she would go to the Schmidt’s and see how horrible Nora’s expression would be.

With each of them harboring their own thoughts, they returned respectively to their places of lodging.

After arriving at Justin’s house, Nora confirmed to him that she would not be going out any more that day and would go to see the Schmidt’s the next day. After thinking about it, she decided to leave.

Lawrence was not amused. He told her, “As a bodyguard, how can you leave so lightly?”

Nora replied, “Oh, I’m on leave.”

Lawrence: “?”

She was only on bodyguard duty for three freaking days, and she could still apply for a leave of absence?

Also, how come her phone was back with her?

Was anyone allowed to carry their phone with them while on duty to protect their employer?

However, Lawrence didn’t dare bring it up. Seeing that even his boss had been outraged by her in the car and that his resistance had been futile, he had better not offer his weak body for abuse.

Nora left and went to the villa where she had stayed when she arrived in Switzerland.

She wanted to ask Cindy something.

But, unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived she saw Cindy standing in the doorway of the villa. In front of her was a grimy girl squatting.

The girl’s hair was matted in clumps; it was obvious that her hair was dirty.

The white dress she wore was so dirty that its original color was no longer discernible.

Cindy was trying to persuade her to come in. She said, “… Why don’t you come in? It’s useless for you to stay here. Come on, Rene, come in.

But the girl shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want to…”.

Cindy frowned. Just as she wanted to answer, she heard the car. When she looked, she saw Nora getting out of the car, and she walked over right away. “Miss Nora, why are you here?”

“What’s wrong?”

Nora pointed at Rene with her chin.

Cindy sighed. “You see, they killed his foster parents, didn’t they? She has nowhere to go anymore, so I took her in. But she refuses to come in and insists on staying here, saying she’s waiting…for Liam.”

Almost as soon as he finished, Rene saw Nora, too. The shy girl’s eyes lit up, she got up from the floor and hurried over. He said, “Miss Smith, can you tell me where Liam is, did he leave for work, why hasn’t he come back yet?”

The girl looked at Nora hopefully, as if she was her last hope for salvation in the world. She said, “I… I know you’re a good person. Liam told me earlier to trust you and be with you…. And where is Cherry? I can prepare a delicious meal for her.”

As the girl spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks. “Can you please not push me aside?”

The look in her eyes was as shy as ever. The girl, who had always been quiet and reticent, was talking so much that a look of pity appeared on Cindy’s countenance.

She looked at Nora and asked, “Miss, what should we do?”

Nora, however, lowered her gaze and stared at Rene. Just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.

When she answered, Trueman’s voice was heard from the opposite end.

“Hello, my little maid, do you want to know Queenie Schmidt’s secret?”

Nora’s pupils shrank.

Trueman laughed. Even his voice sounded wicked when he said, “I accidentally discovered her true identity. It was really surprising. This is really exciting. Try to guess who it is.”
