Chapter 924 - Black Cat, You’re So Much Nicer Than Nora Smith!
She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment
Both Nora and Justinâs identities had already been exposed in front of each other, so they headed to the airport together.
However, Justin kept wearing a black mask and moved about as King.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Justin drove while Nora sat in the passenger seat.
After a while, her cell phone suddenly rang.
This was Black Catâs phone.
When she answered, a womanâs familiar voice came from the other end. âBlack Cat, have you gone back?â
Nora: â?????â
No, really, what was the Queen doing?!
She had just called her to ask if Black Cat had returned, and now she was calling Black Cat to ask if she had returned!
It wasnât like she would go missing, right?
The corners of her lips spasmed and she replied, âYes, Iâm back.â
âOh, thatâs great.â
After saying that, the Queen suddenly heaved a sigh. âI was worried that you might have been caught and detained by Nora Smith. Her eyes are really sharp. Youâd better keep your distance from King⦠By the way, I forgot to tell you that King and Nora Smith are in a relationship, so youâd better not mess with them. You didnât see how infuriating Nora was⦠She actually made use of me to catch someone! Iâm so mad! If she wanted me to cooperate, couldnât she just say so? Iâm not an unreasonable person. I think she is deliberately making things difficult for me! Of all people, why was my strongest bodyguard the murderer?â
Nora: ââ¦â
The Queen rambled on. âAm I annoying you by saying so much?â
Nora was about to answer âYesâ when the Queen went on.
âYou agree with me, right? Nora is too pretentious. The way she acts like sheâs so high up in the air is as if she doesnât take anyone seriously⦠Forget it, I wonât complain about her anymore. I used to love complaining about her the most, but I find that even complaining about her is boring these days. Alas!â
The corners of Noraâs lips spasmed. If it was that boring, why was she still talking so much?
The thought had only just formed when she suddenly heard the Queen speak again.
âApart from making sure that youâre safe, Iâm also calling because Iâd like to confide in you. Iâm actually a little sad.â
Nora: â?â
They werenât that close that they could confide in each other, right?
Despite finding it a nuisance, she asked, âWhat are you feeling sad about?â
Nora definitely wasnât one to utter such a sentenceâ¦
The Queen said, âBarbarian, my bodyguard⦠You know who he is, right? Iâve always regarded him as my younger brother. Watching him grow up, and watching him become my strongest bodyguard made me really happy. But unexpectedly, he turned out to be a serial killer.
âDo you know? I looked into it just now. I was thinking that if he had never killed anyone from the UK, then Iâd just turn a blind eye. But do you know how many people he has killed? âHe has killed almost a hundred people⦠with more than a dozen of them from the UK⦠Heâs my younger brother, but those people are also my subjects. As an elder sister, I can cover up for my younger brother, but as a Queen, I cannot allow the murderer to go unpunished, such that those who have died cannot even rest in peace. âThe two roles, an elder sister and a Queen, keep switching back and forth in me⦠Do you know? This is the first time Iâm finding something a bit tricky to handle. I donât know what to do.
âI have dealt with ministers who betrayed me, but I never thought he would betray me too⦠He has never betrayed me before. No, thatâs not right. Killing my people is no different than a betrayalâ¦â
The Queen rambled on and on, making Nora dizzy.
At last, the Queen asked, âDo you think Iâm right?â
Nora replied, â⦠Yes, yes, you are.â
âSigh, you understand that Iâm really being put in a spot too, right? I knew you would understand. You are so much better than Nora. She is a heartless woman. This one time, I confided in her some of my worries, but she actually fell asleep just listening to me. Hah, does she think of my worries as a lullaby?â
Nora, who was falling asleep: â??â
âAlright, I have to go. Thank you for listening, Black Cat.â
After she finished, she hung up at once, not giving Nora a chance to interrupt her at all.
âWeâve reached the airport,â said Justin warmly as he looked at her twitching face.
