Chapter 552 Completely Seeing Through His Scheme
Nora's eyes darkened a bit, but her voice remained calm, "I'm outside, I'll be back soon, wait for me for a while."
Mortimer heard her calm tone and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll wait for you. Drive slowly and be safe, no need to rush."
Nora responded and hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and then walked out of the bathroom with light steps.
She walked back to the bed, tucked the two children in, kissed them on their foreheads, and then left the room.
The villa's servant saw her going out so late and hurriedly followed her, asking, "Mrs. Porter, are you going out this late?"
Nora said, "I have something to take care of. No need to arrange for someone to drive me, I'll drive myself. Go tell Isaac to stay with the two children in case they wake up and get scared."
As she spoke, she had already gotten into the car parked at the villa entrance.
Without waiting for the servant to reply, she drove off.
As soon as the car left The Porter Manor, she received a call from Isaac.
On the phone, Isaac's voice was worried and anxious, "The servant just told me you went out?"
"Why are you going out so late?"
"Where are you going? Tell me, I'll come find you."
Nora calmly said, "I'm going to take care of some personal matters. You don't need to come find me, just stay home with the kids."
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to harm myself."
After speaking, she hung up the phone before Isaac could say anything else.
Shortly after hanging up, Isaac called again, but she didn't answer.
She drove steadily, going over certain things in her mind, her eyes growing colder.
After half an hour, she parked the car downstairs in her neighborhood.
From a distance, she saw Mortimer standing under a streetlamp.
His tall and elegant figure under the streetlamp looked like a wealthy young man standing alone.
Nora parked the car next to him and got out.
Mortimer looked at Nora, a gentle smile on his face, "Nora, why are you back so late? Where did you go?"
"Where are Magnus and Soren? Why aren't they with you?"
Nora looked up at him and calmly said, "I sent them to The Porter Manor to be protected by the Porter family, to prevent you from finding another chance to harm them."
She didn't want to beat around the bush and directly confronted him.
Mortimer's smile froze, a hurt expression on his face, "Nora, I don't understand what you mean. When did I ever harm them?"
He had gone to the hospital to see Amara in the afternoon, but she was in a coma, and he couldn't find out what she had told Nora.
From Nora's questioning, it seemed Amara had told her about their collaboration.
But Amara didn't know about him harming Magnus and couldn't have told Nora.
So, he couldn't admit it.
Nora must be trying to trick him.
Nora sneered, "I don't have amnesia. At the vacation villa, you seriously injured Magnus and framed Isaac. I remember it very clearly. Have you forgotten so quickly?"
Mortimer said guiltily, "I did indeed do such a thing at that time, but I have acknowledged my mistake and deeply regret hurting Magnus. But after that…"
"Think carefully before you continue," Nora coldly interrupted him. "When I asked you back then, you were just as certain that you hadn't hurt Magnus, until you were caught with evidence and had to admit it."
Mortimer's eyes darkened, and he said bitterly, "Do you really think I'm that bad?"
"I admit I schemed against you and Isaac, but Magnus and Soren grew up with me. How could I bear to hurt them?"
"At the vacation villa, I was really momentarily possessed."
Nora shook her head in disappointment, her voice growing colder, "Even now, you still want to fool me?"
"Amara told me you helped her steal Isaac's sperm to do IVF and get pregnant with his child. Isaac was drugged on the cruise ship, wasn't that your doing?"
Mortimer lowered his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
Amara had indeed told Nora about their collaboration.
He had been too careless, not arranging for someone to watch over Amara.
He hadn't expected Amara, after being abandoned by Isaac, to go crazy and spill everything.
Before Mortimer could respond, Nora continued questioning, "And about Magnus's illness this time."
"Magnus's illness requires umbilical cord blood from a blood relative to make medicine, and he can only wait up to six months. Coincidentally, Amara, who is four months pregnant, found Isaac, and her due date just happens to be within the latest time Magnus can wait for treatment."
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Magnus's illness requires umbilical cord blood from a blood relative, and you arranged for Amara to get pregnant with Isaac's child."
"Magnus can only wait up to six months, and Amara's due date just happens to be within the final deadline."
"How could all these things be such a coincidence?"
"Doesn't it seem like someone meticulously planned all this step by step?"
Mortimer pursed his lips, his eyes dark and unclear, "That's just your subjective guess. You have no evidence to prove that I arranged all this."
"Besides, I don't have the ability to make Magnus suffer from a disease that even Rhys couldn't diagnose. You're overestimating me."
Nora looked at him coldly.
Mortimer smiled bitterly, "Nora, you have too deep a prejudice against me. I just love you and want to break you and Isaac up. I have no reason to harm Magnus. Don't think of me as so bad."
Nora sneered, "It's not that I think you're so bad, it's that you are inherently bad!"
"Why wouldn't you have a reason to harm Magnus?"
"Look at how perfect your plan is. If Amara hadn't miscarried, she wouldn't have chosen to tell me the truth and made everyone suffer with her. I would have always thought Isaac had betrayed me. Wouldn't you have successfully achieved your goal of breaking me and Isaac up?"
"If Magnus hadn't gotten sick and needed umbilical cord blood from a blood relative to survive, do you think Amara's pregnancy alone could have forced Isaac?"
"Magnus's illness is an essential part of your plan. You certainly have a reason to harm him!"
