Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 669

Nora instinctively turned around just as a metallic clang echoed on the concrete. A bloody combat knife had fallen to the ground!

Chloe was on her knees, desperately clutching her right wrist with her left hand. A horrific, bleeding hole was blown straight through her palm, crimson blood pouring onto the pavement.

"Chloe, what..."

Before Nora could finish her sentence, Chloe's wild eyes locked onto the fallen knife.

Without a second thought, Nora kicked the blade far out of reach.

Chloe staggered to her feet, her face contorted with murderous rage, and lunged directly at Nora.

But before she could even get close, a vicious kick planted itself squarely in her chest.

Chloe flew backward, slamming heavily against the concrete pillar with a sickening thud. She slid to the ground, her face completely drained of color, entirely stripped of the strength to move.

The very next second, Nora was pulled into a warm, deeply familiar embrace...

The crisp, clean scent of him, laced with a faint hint of peppermint, enveloped her completely, making her feel instantly safe.

Hudson's arm locked securely around her waist. He looked down, his eyes turning terrifyingly dark and violent when he saw the streak of drying blood across her cheek. "You're hurt?"

Nora quickly shook her head. "It's not my blood."

She pulled back slightly, her gaze falling on Chloe, who was slumped against the pillar. "She tried to kill me."

Hudson followed her gaze.

Chloe was leaning against the concrete, her skin paper-white, her entire body trembling.

Archer's gunshot had blown clean through her hand. If the bleeding wasn't stopped, she would die here.

"She works for Lawrence."

Nora looked up at Hudson in absolute shock, refusing to believe her own ears.

Chloe was... Lawrence's mole?

Ever since Nora had started at Star Entertainment, Chloe had been the one to welcome her. She had helped her navigate countless obstacles.

When Nora had been ostracized at work, Chloe was the only one who stood by her side and trusted her unconditionally.

Nora had viewed her as her closest friend at the company...

And yet, moments ago, Chloe had tried to murder her.

"Boss..."

Arthur ran over from the mouth of the alley, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. "Everyone is secured. Not a single one got away."

Hudson cast an icy glance at Chloe. "Take her back. Interrogate her thoroughly. You handle it personally."

"Understood."

Arthur gestured behind him, and two guards stepped forward, grabbing Chloe by the arms and dragging her up.

As they pulled her away, Chloe stumbled past Nora. She paused for a fraction of a second, her voice so hoarse it was barely a whisper. "Nora, I'm... I'm sorry..."
