StarNovelChapter 714:
“No.” Kathleen shook her head emphatically. “Kailee is merely his cousin. The heart donor was Kristopher’s true
sister. It’s a closely guarded Norris family secret.”
“Few know of it. | only know she perished in a car accident in Foxfire during her childhood.”
Kathleen leaned closer, her voice barely above a whisper. “Apparently, Kristopher had mistakenly believed Lise
received his sister's heart. This explains the Norris family’s extraordinary interest in that heart.”
Understanding dawned in Aliza’s eyes. “Now it all makes sense — Billie and Lise’s inseparable bond. My
connections in Orkset have often mentioned seeing them together.”
She gripped Aliza’s hand with renewed purpose. “Billie has always favored you. This is your moment to seize
destiny.”
Aliza paused, crafting her response with calculated sympathy. “We should bring Omar home, Mother. After all,

Carrie spent the afternoon in solitude, seated before the dark projector screen in the video room. Memories
cascaded through her mind, each recollection of their brief reconciliation mocking her foolishness.
She instructed the maid to skip dinner preparation, yearning for an escape into the evening air.
In the garage, she bypassed the collection of multi-million-dollar vehicles, choosing an understated BMW 7-series
worth only a few hundred thousand dollars. She pushed aside questions about why such a modest car existed
among the Morrison family’s fleet of luxury automobiles.
Sliding behind the wheel, she pressed the accelerator and fled the Morrison estate.
Isonridge’s boulevards stretched much wider than Orkset’s. She lost herself in the symphony of rushing traffic,
temporarily drowning out her inner turmoil. She drove without purpose until unfamiliar surroundings jolted her
back to awareness — she had wandered far from the city’s heart.
A sprawling shopping mall caught her attention, and as her stomach protested its emptiness, she guided the car
toward the parking lot.

She remained oblivious to the vehicle following in her wake, carrying Kathleen and Aliza toward the same
destination.
Half an hour earlier, Kathleen and Aliza had collected Omar from the hospital, their faces painted with feigned
concern.
“Omar, why keep your illness from your aunt?” Kathleen's voice dripped with sugary worry. “These public
hospitals can’t be trusted.”
Aliza glided to his side, capturing his arm in a practiced gesture. “Cousin, that’s what family is for. We're here to
help with anything.”
Omar's gaze cut through their pretense like ice. He extracted his arm from Aliza’s grip and took a step back,
brushing off the places where they'd touched, as if removing something distasteful. “Let's dispense with the

crystal clear. Now that I'm self-sufficient, why this sudden family reunion? If you want something from me, state
it plainly.”
A cold laugh escaped his lips. “We're all adults here. Let's negotiate like adults. Nothing comes without a price,
wouldn't you agree?”
Aliza thrust herself forward, hands perched on her hips. “How dare you speak so cruelly? After everything we've
done? Mother provided for you after your parents died! Show sgratitude!”
