NovelsFreeChapter 355:
Oliver, standing with his usual air of authority, added, “The Norris Group's legal team will cooperate fully with
Silver Elephant Media. I'll coordinate with several marshals immediately to prioritize the investigation.”
Vicky's face drained of color. Her legs felt weak beneath her as her mind spun with panic, flashes of prison cells
and handcuffs replacing her earlier arrogance. She had dismissed the incident as nothing more than a scare
tactic—a moment of impulsive frustration that would, at worst, earn her a stern warning. But now, with the
threat of legal action looming over her, the reality hit like a thunderclap. She couldn't stop trembling.
The assistant’s voice cut through her rising dread. “Apologies for the wait, Mr. Norris, Ms. Campbell. I'll be taking
her back to the company to finalize the settlement. The compensation amount for breach of contract will be
eight million.” His gaze flicked to Vicky, pointed and intentional, as he delivered the number.

“Eight million?” Vicky's voice rose to a shrill pitch, her composure crumbling. “Where am | supposed to get eight
million?”
Her scream echoed in the room, a futile attempt to grasp at her slipping control.
Kristopher leaned back in his seat, nodding in agreement. “She is naive,” he echoed, though he couldn't even
recall Vicky's face.
Oliver shut the backdoor with a soft click and took his place behind the wheel. He glanced at Carrie through the
rearview mirror, his expression tense. “The hospital reported that Yara is missing.”
Carrie's brows furrowed slightly. She hadn't expected Kristopher to keep an eye on her family. It was unlike him.
He had always been the kind of husband who only reacted when a problem landed squarely in front of him. But
now, he seemed proactive —watchful, even.
She tapped her fingers lightly on her knee, considering her words. “Her injuries are mostly healed,” she said with
a shrug. “Maybe she just went hearly?”
Yara had been banned from live streaming after her last stunt, leaving her little room to cause trouble. But Oliver
shook his head. “No, she hasn't completed the discharge procedures. Cindy went to deliver her lunch earlier
today and found her room empty. Her phone's off, and the only clue we have is surveillance footage showing her
leaving after taking a call.”
“Send more people to keep an eye on things,” Kristopher said offhandedly, though his voice held an icy edge. He
wouldn't let anyone have the chance to harm Carrie again.
But in his silent resolve to protect her, Kristopher couldn't have foreseen what lay ahead.

After discussing the Campbell family, Carrie paused thoughtfully before suggesting, “How about we go out to eat
today? It’s been a while since we last visited that restaurant.”
Feeling a bit awkward after her suggestion, she added, “Think of this as my way of saying thanks for joining us
as a guest today.”
Kristopher’s lips curved into a slight smile, his expression barely containing a hint of pride. “I actually hadn't
planned on coming today. Albin contacted me. He mentioned that your friend had to cancel.”
“Albin?” Carrie remembered something Camille had mentioned earlier, which made her feel uneasy. “Is Albin
with Camille? Maybe | should postpone our dinner and check on Camille instead.”
Kristopher’s face clouded over instantly. “Is that your way of showing gratitude?”
