It was him.
He really came!
He came to save her.
Norah Chase stared at him, and it seemed that she forgot all her fears momentarily.
The dangers behind her and the fact that she was kidnapped were all forgotten from her mind.
Just seeing him, she felt particularly at ease.
"Shawn..." She called his name once again with her voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Don't worry, Norah. I'll be right here by your side." Shawn Lawson looked at her with a gentle and
reassuring voice. His eyes overflowed with an intense tenderness that melted her heart.
Norah streamed down tears and nodded so hard, "All right, I'm not scared anymore. As long as you're This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
here, I feel safe."
At that moment, Sam Perry couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Okay! Stop with the sweet talk. If I
obtain enough money, you'll have plenty of opportunities for romance."
"Otherwise, you will both kick the bucket."
Shawn stepped forward and tossed the box directly that he held in his hands to Sam and said, "Here
are two hundred thousand dollars. You find someone to count it."
Upon hearing this, Sam became angry and immediately took out a gun from his waist, pressing it
against the head of Shawn. He sneered coldly, "Mr. Lawson, are you kidding? You still can't remember,
huh? You owe me ten million dollars."
"Shawn..." Norah's heart nearly stopped beating in fear when she saw that.
A real gun pointed at Shawn's head, and she couldn't help but worry.
But Shawn was not in the least perturbed.
"Don't worry, Norah. Trust me, and I'll be fine."
Hearing his words of comfort, Norah relaxed a little, especially seeing the confident smile on his face,
but she still felt extremely worried.
After all, it was a gun. What if Sam got too excited? What if the gun accidentally went off? The
consequences were unimaginable.
How could she not be afraid?
Shawn's back straightened up with a calm expression on his face as if the gun wasn't pressed against
his head.
Sam became even more furious and sneered, "It seems that Mr. Lawson isn't afraid of death!"
Shawn looked at Sam smiling slightly and said, "If I'm right, you've probably never seen such a large
sum of cash before, have you?"
"So what?" Sam retorted.
Shawn continued to smile and said, "So, you don't even know how much ten million dollars really
weigh. Let me tell you, two million dollars weigh about 150 kilograms, so ten million dollars would weigh
over 700 kilograms or more than a thousand pounds."
"Do you think I can carry over a thousand pounds of money and climb this mountain?"
After saying that, Shawn placed his hand on the gun held by Sam and then firmly grasped it. They took
the gun away together.
Sam also cooperated and quickly took back his gun.
At that moment, someone holding a box came to say, "Brother Brown, two hundred thousand dollars.
That's true."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Sam looked back at Shawn and asked, "What about the rest of the money?"
"It's all at the foot of the mountain. You can ask someone to count it now."
"OK, just wait."
Sam immediately dispatched a group of his brothers to go down the mountain and look for the money.
About ten minutes later, Sam received a reply from his brothers, "Brother Brown, there are six million
dollars."
"What about the four million dollars?" He looked at Shawn.
At this moment, Shawn walked directly toward Norah and said, "Send my wife to me, and I will tell you
where the remaining money is."
"It's impossible," Sam refused outright.
Shawn was gentle all along and suddenly became frigid.
His eyes turned icy as he stared at Sam, and every word he spoke was like a sharp blade.
"Well, then you'd better think it over. You can control my wife's life and death. I definitely won't deceive
you. Even if I did, you would still have six million dollars, which is more than enough."
"If you discover any deception, you can easily take us back. We won't be too far."
"But..."
Shawn's voice suddenly became threatening, "If my wife suffers any kind of harm from you, you won't
get a penny from us."
Sam also became irritated after hearing these words.
He had been the one threatening others. When did someone threaten him?
The stark contrast made him feel extremely annoyed.
Sam took out his phone and pressed it against Norah's head.
It must be said that this time he had learned a lesson.
Sure, Shawn saw it and immediately exclaimed, "Sam, put down your gun, or you won't get a penny."
Sam sneered, "Mr. Lawson, don't you care about your wife's life anymore?"
"I'm telling you once more if anything happens to my wife, none of you will get away. I will make sure
you pay for your actions. Even if you have money, you won't have the life to spend it."
"Mr. Lawson, mess with who?"
Sam's face appeared nonchalant, but he was already scared in his heart.
"I'm not trying to scare you. If you let my wife go, you can get all the money. Or you will risk losing your
lives here, and it's your choice."
Shawn's words were firm and forceful, piercing into everyone's ears present.
His chilling and icy gaze was like a sharp sword, passing through the faces of each person.
Sam did not say it yet. Suddenly, his brothers who stayed on the upside began to say, "Brother Brown,
that's enough. We don't want to die."
"Yeah, Brother Brown, we still want to live it up and have a good time."
Sam's lips twitched and shifted the gun from Norah's head to Shawn's head, "How are you planning to
give me the rest of the money?"
"I'll take my wife and leave. Every minute, you'll get two hundred thousand dollars. In twenty minutes
when we're out of danger, you'll naturally get all the money."
"OK, I will give you one chance."
After saying that, Sam put down his gun and looked at the men holding Norah. "Untie her and let her
come back."
When Norah was released, she immediately rushed toward Shawn.
They rushed towards each other.
The wind on the mountaintop blew fiercely, but the two of them embraced each other tightly as if they
survived a disaster and were ready to spend the rest of their lives together.
"Norah..." Shawn hugged her tightly, wishing they could tightly hug as one.
"Are you hurt? Did they harm you?"
He murmured in her ears with a trembling voice.
Only at this moment did Norah realize his trembling body, the rise and fall of his chest, and the intense
sound of his heartbeat.
She knew that he wasn't fearless.
He just forced himself to remain calm because only through calmness could negotiations be carried
out.
Norah hugged him tightly, wrapped around his waist with her hands, and was unable to utter a single
word as tears choked her throat.
She was very afraid that she would die in that way. She was even more afraid of never seeing him
again.
Only as she held him tightly, smelt his scent and listened to his heartbeat, did she feel a little
reassured.
The wind on the mountaintop blew strongly.
Norah's clothes and hair were tousled and swirled by the wind, dancing freely in the air.
"Are you cold?" he asked softly.
Norah nodded.
Shawn immediately took off his long coat and put it on Norah.
His coat was thick and long, reaching Nanxi's ankles when she put it on. With his body heat still
lingering on the coat, it provided her with exceptional warmth.
"Do you feel better now?"
"Uh!"
"Hold me tight, let's go home."
