Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 56:

The City Hall was bustling with people today. It was easy for onlookers to tell that Norah and Derek were a couple seeking a divorce, while Madeline stood shamelessly as the other woman.

Their presence at the entrance quickly became the center of attention, drawing more and more people to watch the unfolding drama.

As soon as Norah stopped talking, numerous people spun around, muffling their giggles behind their hands. In the eyes of many, Madeline, the unmistakable other woman, was a figure of disdain, regardless of her beauty.

Norah and Madeline were striking in their own ways. Norah was stunningly gorgeous, while Madeline had a more delicate appeal.

The crowd secretly envied Derek for being in the company of these two attractive women.

“Miss Wilson, if you’re unwilling to sign, just be upfront. Why resort to embarrassing both Derek and me?” Madeline asked, visibly upset. “Derek didn’t ask for more. After all, you’re not exactly in need. Why insist on holding onto those assets?”

Norah responded with a scoff. “Whether I need them or not is for me to decide. I’m merely claiming what’s rightfully mine.”

Norah cursed Derek’s shamelessness silently. The nerve of him wanting to reclaim what he had promised her back when he asked her to sign the divorce papers! Yes, she was wealthy enough to give up on what he had promised her, but she was reluctant to let go of it without a fight.

Norah refused to let Derek have his way, especially given his repeated unwillingness to finalize the divorce swiftly.

“Mr. Carter, I once thought you were a man of integrity. Now you’re withdrawing from your promises? Ugh!” Norah grimaced.
