Chapter 130: You Want To Kill Me?
Nora continued to keep her eyes closed when she felt the door to the room open again, planning to use the same strategy she had previously used. However, her eyes widened when she noticed the direction of the door. It was on the opposite side from where the person who assaulted her had appeared.
And this time it really was her mother who entered the place. Even though she had known and expected this, seeing the woman who had meant the world to do this, made her heart break into a million pieces. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at her and spoke through her pain," It really is you."
Lara Anderson sighed and looked at the tall man who now lay motionless on the floor. "You’ve grown a lot, hmm? I saw what you did to him. Impressive."
Nora stared at the woman in front of her but said nothing. She couldn’t have said anything even if she wanted to-her throat was all choked up.
Seeing her sitting there quietly, Lara smiled and came closer but stopped a bit further away from Nora," I want to pat you on the face. Should I come closer or will you attack me too?"
A small, pained sound escaped Nora as she questioned," Why? At least tell me why?"
"Of course, I will tell you. It is why I have kept you alive for now. You have served me well for so many years. You should understand the truth before you die."
Nora scoffed at that," You can’t kill me. I don’t know what you want to achieve with all these stunts, but you most certainly cannot kill me or you won’t be able to claim your money."
"Tsk tsk. Do you really think I have been sitting twiddling my thumbs all these years, waiting for you or Sara to inherit? No. I have made my own arrangements. It’s just that I wanted to keep them as the last option. But first, tell me Nora, how do you like this place? This room?"
