Chapter 1345: Chapter 1345: You Only Guessed Half Right

At this moment, Zora Hughes, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly looked up, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes. The noble and elegant man in front of her had put Mrs. Taylor and Wesley Taylor under house arrest for a woman.

The Brooke family was powerful, but Mr. Novak held a distinguished position. He could represent the family head in punishing Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Taylor. Not only that, but he was also handsome. To the desperate Zora, Mr. Novak was like a ray of light, her only hope.

Who was the woman in Mrs. Taylor’s words? Could it be that Mr. Novak came here for her? After all, she was the woman that Wesley Taylor had taken by force and tortured for several days.

Initially, Mrs. Taylor thought it was Zora Hughes, since Zora was the daughter of the Hughes family, and it would make sense for her to know the young master of the Novak family.

This Mr. Novak had come to the Brooke family as a doctor years ago, cured the family head’s stubborn disease, gained the family head’s trust step by step, and was entrusted with the family’s affairs after being investigated but the family head didn’t care about his past.

Could the woman in Mr. Novak’s heart be Zora Hughes?

Mrs. Taylor glanced at Zora’s wounds, feeling faint.

With no strength left, Zora was struggling to move towards the door. She was sobbing like a pear blossom in the rain, wearing a pure white lace dress, looking pitiable.

"Mi..Mister, please take me away! Wesley Taylor is a beast; he... he will torture me to death! Mister..."

Zora naively thought that Mr. Novak must have known that she was the one taken back by Wesley Taylor, so he had come to save her specifically. Her eyes were full of hope.

Mr. Novak glanced at the woman crawling on the ground, then playfully looked at Mrs. Taylor.

Mrs. Taylor felt chills all over her body. She stiffly stood up, trembling, and untied the ropes around Zora’s feet, explaining anxiously, "Mr..Mr. Novak, I’m sorry, I didn’t know Miss Hughes and you... "

She couldn’t believe why Mr. Novak would like a woman like Zora. Zora had sent her Xaviera Evans’ photo, wasn’t it because she wanted to use her as a scapegoat?

Over the years, many women have pursued Mr. Novak, but he’s never given them a glance. She thought he had high standards, but who could have thought he’d be clingy to Zora?

"Mrs. Taylor, I just praised your intelligence but it seems you only got half of it right."

Mr. Novak’s tone was indifferent, and he glanced at Zora with disgust. "Sorry, but I don’t know this woman at all. The woman in my heart is—"

It wasn’t Zora?

Mrs. Taylor was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of another possibility.

Mr. Novak enunciated,: "Mrs. Taylor, this is just a small warning. If you dare to hurt Xaviera Evans again in the future, you’ll face the consequences!"

He was actually here for Xaviera Evans!

Mrs. Taylor was furious. Mr. Novak might be capable, but he was just an outsider. What right did he have to interfere in their family affairs and threaten her?

"Willie Novak! Just for a woman, you dare to-"

Before she could finish, Willie Novak had grabbed Mrs. Taylor’s neck. His slender fingers constricted, and Mrs. Taylor’s face turned red as she struggled helplessly.

Willie disdainfully let go, and Mrs. Taylor collapsed on the ground uncontrollably coughing. She could feel the crazy murder intent in Willie’s eyes just moments ago.

He really wanted to kill her!

"Mrs. Taylor, even though you’re the lady of the Brooke family, you’re no match for me. In consideration of the family head, I’ll spare you this time. But if I find out that you’ve laid hands on Xaviera Evans again, I’ll make sure that you’d wish you were dead!"

A casual word from Willie Novak turned Mrs. Taylor’s red face pale with fear.

The hopeful Zora was once again plunged into despair, her eyes misty with tears as she stared at the man in front of her. She never thought that he would come for Xaviera Evans.

Mrs. Taylor had already lost her arrogance and said apprehensively: "Mr..Mr. Novak, then what about Miss Hughes here?"

If Mr. Novak was really here for Xaviera Evans, she wouldn’t dare to keep Zora around. So, she might as well hand her over to Mr. Novak to please him.

Zora wiped her tears, looking pitifully at the man, waiting for his word that would save her.

After a few seconds of silence, the man chuckled lightly and asked indifferently, "Mrs. Taylor, do you think I have bad taste? This kind of woman should be left to Mr. Taylor to enjoy slowly."

With that, he left without mercy, not even sparing Zora a single glance.

Zora lied on the ground in despair, and the light gradually faded from her eyes...
