Chapter 886:
During a conversation about his tin Silverdale with Madeline, Derek was jolted by the news of Norah's
disappearance.
Noticing his sudden silence, Madeline prodded him. “What's wrong, Derek? Why did you stop talking all of a
sudden?”
Not long before, Sharon had harshly reprimanded Madeline in the hospital. To safeguard her, Derek had brought
her back to his villa. Moreover, Derek had begun cooking for her, bringing her a joy she hadn't experienced in a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlong time.
Because of this, she decided to forgive his family. She was, after all, Derek’s wife, and she would spend the rest
of her life with him, not them.
Derek had shared that his business was thriving. Although they had lost a baby, he reassured her that they could
try for another as long as they remained happy together.
Thus, Madeline resolved to stay with Derek, dismissing the idea of seeking another wealthy suitor. She doubted
anyone else could be as caring as Derek.
Derek quickly put away his phone. “I have something urgent to handle. Why don’t you take a nap?”
Holding his hand, Madeline smiled—both sweetly and ominously.

Derek looked startled. “How did you find out?”

“Kathy told me. | can’t help but feel sorry for Norah. She had a car accident on a mountain highway. She used to
be the top car racer, Selene, but to die on the road? How absurd! Hahaha...” Madeline's laughter was wild and
unrestrained.
Ever since she returned from abroad, she had always felt that Norah was a thorn in her side, one she was eager

“Derek, there's no need to keep secrets from me. I'm more relieved by her death than anyone else. Now, no one
will stand in our way.”
She embraced him tightly. “Let's spend our lives together, just the two of us, happily.”
Derek struggled with a deep-seated sadness. He had only felt slight sorrow when he divorced Norah. After years
of mixed emotions, he was now uncertain about his feelings for her. He squeezed Madeline's hands in response,
grunting slightly. With Norah's death, any lingering hopes he had were extinguished.
Sean had secluded himself in a dark room. It had been five days since Norah vanished. Susanna had awakened,
but as before, she refused to speak to anyone.
The psychologist and Alice took turns trying to persuade her, but to no avail.
