Chapter 105 Who Is Marah?

• When Adela returned to work, she was surprised to find that despite being away for only two days, the entire office was still buzzing about Layson. But what puzzled her even more was the topic—everyone was talking about how Layson and some woman named Marah were cousins.
• Sitting at her desk, Adela tried to focus on her work, but all around her, the conversations kept circling back to the same thing—Layson Norman. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shut it out.
• Her mind drifted back to the night Herbie was kidnapped. The fear, the helplessness—the way she had broken down completely. And through it all, Layson had been by her side. She could still remember the way she had leaned on him, how his presence had given her a sense of security she hadn’t felt in years.
