NovelBookChapter 323 "Ms. Norman was hospitalized last night. She just woke up this morning and is demanding to see Mr. Spencer." Marve stayed silent.
On the hospital bed, Philip overheard the conversation and asked, puzzled, "Serena Norman? Who is she?" "An... old acquaintance of Zion's," Maeve replied, her tone evasive.

It's best to sever ties with him now." "Uncle Phil, it's not like that between Zion and me." "Anyone can tell that Zion has feelings for you, but Zion... he has too much blood on his hands." Philip's eyes were filled with concern. "I just want you to have a peaceful and happy life. Being with Zion will only bring turmoil. If it comes to it, just don't get married at all Our family has plenty of money to ensure that you'll never want for anything." "I understand, Uncle Phil. Don't worry about me. Just focus on your recovery.
Philip nodded.
As Marve left the room, she saw Zion and Charlie talking at the end of the hallway. She chose not to approach them, her mind echoing with Philip's words.
Zion... Was he really not the right person for her? "Mavy!" Lyra's voice rang out from behind her. She crunning, still in her evening dress and high heels, and hugged Maeve tightly. "I saw the news! Are you okay? Did that bastard Serdo anything to you?" "No. Look, I'm perfectly fine." Lyra sighed in relief. "You have no idea how worried I was last night. I wanted to cand find you, but Charlie wouldn't let me! He kept saying that it wasn't safe at night. Honestly, who wouldn't be safe?" Lyra raised her fist playfully.
Maeve chuckled. "So, you guys were here all night?" "Yes. Charlie left for a bit to help Zee out with something, but he wasn't gone for long." Lyra leaned in conspiratorially and said, "You wouldn't believe how much money Serena spent last night. She spent several hundred thousand dollars from Zee's account.
Maeve felt a fleeting pang of discomfort at the mention of Zion's account but quickly brushed it off "But I asked around. You don't have to worry. It's not what you think between Zee and Serena." Maeve bit her lip, finally voicing her curiosity as she asked, "Who exactly is Serena?" "Back in the day, the Norman family was quite influential overseas. Zee got his big break thanks to Mr. Norman, who could be considered a backer to him.

Mr. Norman's death and the decline of the Norman family, Zee bought their company. "So, the Norman family's business is now Zion's?"
Lyra nodded. "Serena is Mr.
Norman's only daughter. He asked Zion to take care of her after he take care passed, but while Zion sees it as a financial responsibility, Serena thinks she's his fiancée." Lyra tapped her temple. "Honestly, I think she's a bit delusional." As soon as she said this, a weak voice called out from nearby, "Zee..."
Maeve turned to see Serena, who looked very pale in ber hospital gown, approaching them. X
