Chapter 543 He Doesn't Deserve Her Life in Exchange for His
Mortimer looked at Nora's resolute attitude, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Actually, getting rid of Daxton is quite simple, but he controls Isaac's life. If we go against him, he will harm Isaac."
Nora's eyes darkened, and a wave of emotions surged in her eyes.
Back then, it was because of Daxton's threats that she had to leave Isaac. She never dared to go public with Isaac, nor did she dare to let Magnus and Soren that Isaac was their biological father.
She was afraid that if Daxton found out, he would harm Isaac.
Just like last time, Isaac was critically ill and almost died in the hospital bed.
Even though she and Isaac had already separated, and Isaac was about to marry Amara, she still didn't want Isaac to be in danger.
Although she hated him, he was still someone she had loved, and she didn't want him to die.
But now, it was already threatening the lives of Magnus and Soren.
A husband who had betrayed her and two children she had painstakingly given birth to, she would undoubtedly choose the latter.
Nora took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If you have a way to deal with Daxton, then please help me. As for whether he will harm Isaac, that's not something we should be concerned about."
"Isaac is his son, and he doesn't care. Why should we, as outsiders, care?"
Mortimer looked at Nora in surprise.
He was stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses.
He couldn't help but feel excited.
Nora didn't care about Isaac's life anymore?
Did this mean she has completely let go of her feelings for Isaac?
If Isaac died, then he would have no competition at all. If he worked a little harder, with Magnus and Soren's willingness, it would only be a matter of time before Nora accepted him.
Mortimer was excited inside, but he didn't show it on the surface. He deliberately advised, "Nora, don't be impulsive. Calm down and think it through. I don't want you to regret it later."
"If I really take action against Daxton and he retaliates by taking Isaac down with him, there will be no room for regret."
"I don't want you to have any regrets or blame me for Isaac's death in the future."
Nora said, "I've thought it through. Isaac is important to me, but that's in the past."
"I once valued him more than my own life. I was willing to ruin my reputation for him, to be constantly threatened and controlled by Daxton, and even to sacrifice my life for him."
"But now, I have people I want to protect even more."
"For Magnus and Soren, I can sacrifice everything, including Isaac!"
When she said this, a suffocating pain came from her heart. She forcibly suppressed the discomfort, her eyes resolute.
Mortimer said, "You're too impulsive right now. Calm down for a night. If you still feel the same way tomorrow, then I'll help you."
Nora nodded, "Okay."
Although she was anxious and wanted to avenge Soren immediately, she had to rely on Mortimer, so it was not unreasonable to listen to him.
Nora left the study and went downstairs to accompany Magnus and Soren.
In the evening, after they had dinner together, Nora slept with Magnus and Soren.
Soren was frightened and didn't dare to sleep alone.
Magnus was in a new environment, and with his health issues, Nora didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone, afraid that something might happen and she wouldn't notice in time.
In the middle of the night, Soren had a nightmare and kept trembling. Nora could only hold her and comfort her, feeling heartbroken.
Originally, after calming down, she had some hesitation, but seeing Soren's frightened and restless appearance, she became determined again.
To eliminate future troubles, Daxton must be dealt with!
Even if Daxton threatened her with Isaac, she would not compromise.
If Daxton killed Isaac, it would be Daxton's responsibility, not hers. She had no reason to feel guilty.
The next day.
Since Soren hadn't fully recovered, Nora took a leave of absence for her and hired a psychologist to help her with counseling.
She took this opportunity to find Mortimer again.
"I've made up my mind," Nora said seriously to Mortimer. "Help me find out his whereabouts. I'll do it myself. You don't need to get involved."
Mortimer chuckled, "How could I let you take that risk? Just tell me what you want to do, and I'll handle the rest."
"Besides, Daxton is quite skilled and very cunning. You might not be his match. You could end up in danger instead of hurting him, which would be a loss."
Nora said, "I never planned to confront him openly. I can poison him. If that doesn't work, I'll run him over with a car. If that fails, I'll buy a gun."
Although she didn't know where to buy one, there were always more solutions than problems. She would find a way.
She didn't believe that with careful planning, she wouldn't succeed.
Mortimer said, "Even if you succeed in killing him, you'll get yourself into trouble."
Nora said in a deep voice, "I've already prepared to sacrifice myself. As long as I can kill him and ensure that Magnus and Soren won't be in danger in the future, I have no regrets, even if I'm executed."
Mortimer shook his head, "Magnus and Soren need your companionship. Otherwise, they won't be happy."
"I'm here. You don't need to take the risk yourself. You can trust me and rely on me a bit."
Nora said, "I don't want to drag you into this. I've already troubled you enough."
"If you act on my behalf, you'll also get into trouble. If you're caught, you'll face prison."
Mortimer chuckled, "You have to trust my abilities. I won't leave any flaws."
Nora hesitated.
Mortimer continued, "Daxton has done many bad things. Getting rid of him is justice served. You don't need to feel guilty or think that killing him requires paying with your life. Your life is much more valuable than his. He doesn't deserve your life."
Nora was silent for a while, then finally nodded, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
She still couldn't bear to leave Magnus and Soren.
If she could live to accompany Magnus and Soren as they grew up, she would be happy to do so.
Mortimer chuckled, "No need to be so polite with me."
"I'll start the investigation now. Once we have everything ready, I'll let you know."
Nora nodded lightly.
"Then I'll go to the office. If you need anything, call me anytime. I've already instructed the servants at home. They will treat you, Magnus, and Soren as their masters. If you need anything, just ask them. Don't be polite."
"Okay, you go ahead. Be careful on the road."
Mortimer left.
Nora was about to find Magnus and Soren when her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it; it was an unknown number.
Nora answered it directly.
"Nora, it's me, Isaac."
