Charlie laughed and said, “I just had Estelle looking for you. She said you were still on the phone.
What’s been keeping you on the line for so long? Oh, where’s Yvonne?”

much attention and continued on her way.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnbeknownst to her, the two women exchanged a malicious glance, their eyes filled with ill intent.
One of the women happened to be Nora, Charlie’s ex–girlfriend, while the other was her accomplice,
Lindsey.

In her fear, Noreen had falsely claimed that Emily had seduced Charlie while she was hospitalized.
Nora had always wanted to find Emily, and suddenly encountering her today had ignited her
resentment.
Nora and Lindsey whispered a few words, and Lindsey immediately agreed and left the
restroom.

Nora, applying lipstick in the mirror, glanced coldly at Emily, “Ms. Sullivan, we meet again? Are you
here delivering food?”
Emily turned around and took a moment to recognize Nora. She hadn’t expected to see her again.
Nora threw her lipstick down, staring straight at Emily, “Aren’t you delivering anymore? Well, I guess
you don’t have to now that you’ve hooked up with Mr. James. But from outfit, it seems he doesn’t care
too much for you, huh?”

Emily decided she didn’t want to deal with Nora, so she turned to leave. Nora didn’t try to stop her, but
she watched Emily walk away with a sinister expression on her face.

her head, muffling her screams. She was swiftly lifted onto someone’s shoulders, and they hurriedly
carried her away.

“You’re a wild bitch, aren’t you? Behave, and maybe you’ll suffer less!”
Emily’s face filled with terror, turning as pale as a ghost. “You’d better not mess with me! I’ll call the
police!” she warned.
