Chapter 431 Run!
Norman squinted his eyes slightly; doubts brewed in him as he looked at Pierre in confusion.
Pierre lowered his voice and continued slowly, “Kohlberg Group of the Kolberg Family is the only one that could rival
against the Gardners. As long as Kohlberg Group manages to overthrow the Gardners, their pressure on you would
be gone. By then, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to be released, right?”
Naturally, Norman knew that the Kohlberg Group was the only one on par with the Gardners.
His lips twitched for a moment before saying, “Do you have a plan to get Kohlberg Group to deal with the
Gardiners?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Pierre heard this, he merely rose to his feet and said with a smile, “Of course. Bryan Kohlberg, the president
of the Kohlberg Group, is already talking about dismantling the Gardners. There’s still a chance as long as there are
no formal charges against you. What you can do now is not admit to any of the charges.”
Norman was silent for a moment. When put into such a situation, he had to try everything. So, he lowered his gaze
and gritted his teeth, replying, “You’d better hurry up before my patience runs out. By then, everyone will die with
me.”
Pierre laughed and reached out to pat Norman’s shoulder reassuringly.
“Mr. Clancy, don’t you worry. We’re all in the same boat. Why would I abandon you?”
Betty received the results of her full-body examination; her body was fine other than receiving a heavy dosage of
drugs. Yet, based on the report, the drug had eroded her body. Nevertheless, if they didn’t flush the medication out
of her body, it would eventually lead to Alzheimer’s.
Although Nicole had asked the doctor to prescribe Betty some medication, the doctor felt that the patient was too
old and might be unable to withstand it. Thus, the only way was through conservative treatment.
Although she really wanted to, she couldn’t learn about what happened back then. She wanted to know why Lydia
wanted to drive Betty away and why Lydia was in the hospital when Nicole’s mother died.

But now that Betty was in this state, there was nothing Nicole could do about it.
She looked at Betty, who was lying on the hospital bed, with a wry smile.
When Nicole was a child and her mother was still living in the Anderson Residence, Betty spoiled Nicole like her
granddaughter. Even after Nicole’s mother left and Lydia came into the picture, Betty still stood by Nicole’s side.
Nicole had never regarded Betty as a butler but as a kind grandmother.
“Nicole.”
Betty’s voice was weak. When she raised her eyes and saw a vague figure, she immediately called out habitually.
When Nicole heard Betty’s voice, Nicole quickly put on a brave front and leaned forward with a smile on her face as
she called out, “Ms. Betty, I’m here.”
“M-Madeline…” Betty suddenly seemed to change into a different person as she constantly called out Nicole’s

Nicole pursed her lips and kept quiet when she heard this.
Then, Betty seemed to shoot awake and suddenly shouted, “Madeline, run!”
It was so abrupt that Nicole, who was standing next to Betty, was frightened by her screams.
“Ms. Betty, are you okay?”
This seemed to snap Betty out of her trance. Once she opened her eyes and saw that it was Nicole, Betty’s face
returned to normal.
“Oh, Nicole. It’s you.” There were sweat beads on her face, probably from the nightmare she had just had.
Nicole took the tissue by the bedside, gently wiped the sweat off Betty’s forehead, and then asked, “Ms. Betty, I just
heard you call my mother’s name, and you told her to run. What happened?”
Nicole stared at Betty as her throat constricted as she asked the question.
When Betty heard the question, she was at a loss. She looked up at Nicole in confusion and frowned, shaking her
head.
“Did I? I don’t remember.”
“You did. You told my mother to run. Ms. Betty, was there someone who tried to hurt my mother?”
Nicole unconsciously raised her voice as a hint of doubt was already starting to form in her heart.
