With that in mind, Norah's fear quickly dissipated, replaced by nothing but roiling hatred.

The Riddle family had left her in a hotel, having no longer cared about her. She was left with no one now. However, even if she could not return to the Riddle residence as a family member anymore, she was determined to extract a king's bounty from them before she left.

Mustering her courage, Norah stood up as she tried to find the ferocity that she had displayed earlier. "Why wouldn't I dare? You broke my wrist at the school entrance, and many had caught that on tape! I've called a lawyer over and if this is not settled to my satisfaction by today, prepare for it to go viral tomorrow!"

She had concluded that the Riddles would not want to cause a massive scene, due to how much they cared about their reputation, regardless of who was the more culpable party in that fracas back at the school.

Having seen through Norah's intentions, Nicole smirked.

Glancing at the lawyer whom Norah had brought with her, Nicole's lips lifted smugly. “Is that so? I see you've brought a lawyer here too, haven't you? Did your lawyer know that you were the one who struck first, and that there's a wound on my brother's hand as proof of that!?

The moment Nicole had uttered those words, Gloria, who was worried about Nicole, became even more anxious." What happened? Did Samuel and Spencer get hurt as well?"

Norah's wrist had already been tended to, but the plaster cast over her hand was shocking enough for her. When she thought of the wound on her son's arm, her heart bled.

Hearing that, Samuel immediately stepped aside. “I'm fine. Mom. Just a small cut. Nicole has already stitched the wound up."

"Stitched the wound up? How big of a cut was that to need sutures?” Gloria's eyes reddened.

She had never thought that the daughter she had raised for so many years, the obedient girl in the Riddle's residence many years back, would do something like that to the men whom she used to call brothers.

‘She had broken her own wrist and Samuel got wounded as well?’ Gloria wondered.

Although Nicole pitied Gloria, she could no longer bother to hold back due to the sorry state of affairs; she had to make Gloria witness Norah's true colors. "Norah wanted to stab me with a knife, and Samuel got hurt trying to protect me. The wound took four whole stitches to have it sewn shut."

"How... could that be..." Gloria buried her mouth in her hands.

Daniel looked at Norah once again, and his eyes, which initially had traces of guilt in it, darkened. “I knew it. Nicole would not break your wrist for no reason. How could you do that to Samuel? He was your brother!"

As he had already had it up to here with Norah, Daniel flew off the handle, for he was utterly disappointed in Norah.

Noticing that the parents who had once doted on her now glaring at her with looks of disappointment and hatred, Norah finally lost it.

"You're now telling me that we were once family? What of it when my parents died? You people left me in a hotel and had no plans to take me back in! If it weren't for that cold shoulder you've given me, I wouldn't have been forced to stop them at the entrance of the school!

Norah's eyes reddened as she howled with her fists clenched, angrily chastising Daniel and Gloria's attitude of indifference toward her.

Unable to just stand and watch anymore, Steve stepped forward and bellowed, "Is it our fault that your parents died? Not too long ago, we've done all we could to help you find your parents, and here you are, being an ungrateful twat!"

Norah then turned to Steve as she sneered, her expression becoming menacing as she wailed, "What? Am I supposed to thank you for finding my biological parents? It looks more to me like you people couldn't wait to get rid of me. It's a sham that you helped me look for my parents! Don't you go around pretending to be some saint!"

Gloria had never thought that a daughter she had raised would turn out to be the way she was today; to think that she was that ungrateful, to think that she harbored such hatred toward them.

Unable to stomach the abuse any longer, Gloria raised her hand and slapped Norah. “Norah, you disappoint me!"

Norah was stunned. The last thing she had expected was for a meek character like Gloria to actually hit her. There, the hatred in her heart churned and swelled even more violently.

However, everyone who saw the slap knew that, although Gloria had slapped Norah, she had not used any force at all.
