Chapter 1229:
Understanding her fear, he didn’t push her to talk. He simply stayed by her side.
Not long after, when Dunn learned that Margo wanted to see a psychologist, he immediately took her to the specialist.
“Margo, there’s no need to worry. Just relax, and try not to dwell on those frightening thoughts,” Dunn said gently as he drove.
“Okay,” Margo replied quietly, her expression thoughtful and her mind clearly elsewhere.
Meanwhile, inside the Norman family’s villa…
“What did you say p>
Heather’s gaze landed on the men standing in front of her, her brows knitting in displeasure.
She had hired them to kidnap Margo, yet they had returned battered and bruised.
“Miss Norman, we caught her,” the leader said, his face obscured as he spoke through swollen lips. “But a group of people suddenly showed up, and we had to run for our lives p>
He had expected an easy job, never imagining it would turn into such a mess.

Inside, she wanted nothing more than to throw them out.
But she couldn’t. If her involvement in the kidnapping was exposed, the consequences would be catastrophic—and she was desperate to avoid that.
“It’ll be enough,” the men said quickly. After exchanging satisfied glances, they left.
Once they were gone, Heather’s expression twisted into fury. She slammed her fist onto the table and snarled, “A bunch of useless idiots! They couldn’t even handle one woman p>
Then she noticed the string of missed calls from Joziah. Remembering what had happened to him, a sneer pulled at her lips.
That playboy was doomed to fail too.
But the next moment, an idea struck her. Without hesitation, she went straight to her brother Hooper’s company.
