Chapter 1332
Chapter 1332:
The six of them headed to Sean’s presidential suite, which was spacious and ideal for their discussion.
As soon as they entered, Xenia gazed up at Sean with admiration. She had only ever seen him from a distance in Sacredice, so being this close made her feel both happy and excited.
She regarded the woman next to him with disdain. Just a woman; great men shouldn’t settle for just one.
“Mr. Scott, you saved me once. Do you remember?” Xenia asked.
Sean stared at her for a moment before shaking his head honestly. “No, I don’t.”
He quickly turned to comfort Norah. “Honey, I need to take care of something. Why don’t you freshen up first?”
Norah asked with a slight smile, “What? Am I not allowed to be privy to your conversation? You have been keeping your identity as the leader of Sacredice secret from me, haven’t you?”
“I meant to lead both Sacredice and the Scott family. When I came of age, I took over both, and my father left to travel the world with my mother.”
Norah’s heart ached for him. He had borne such immense responsibility from such a young age. Running both Sacredice and the Scott family couldn’t have been easy.noveldrama

She murmured, “Sean, you’ve done an incredible job.”
He looked at her, surprised. “You don’t blame me? I was the one who ordered not to take on your case back then.” In this moment of truth, he felt it was only right to confess everything.
“I did investigate your parents but found nothing. That’s why no one from Sacredice accepted the Wilson family’s request.”
“I see,” she said softly.
Talking about her parents no longer filled Norah with the sharp pain it once did. She continued, “Whether the Sacredice could have helped or not, that’s in the past. It was a dead-end investigation, and I was grasping at straws.”
“I’m so sorry,” Sean whispered, pulling her closer.
“I never meant to deceive you. I didn’t know how to tell you.” Norah pressed her fingers gently against his lips.
“It’s alright, Sean. I understand. I don’t want us to fight over this.”
The three Deacons exchanged uneasy glances. It was clear now—Norah had uncovered Sean’s deception.
Xenia, eyes shimmering with unshed tears, lifted her head. “Mr. Scott, I’ve never forgotten your kindness since the day you saved me. Now, finally, by your side, I must thank you properly.”
But Sean’s attention was fixed solely on Norah; he couldn’t hear a word from Xenia.
