Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 105:

Norah looked disdainfully at the Carter family in front of her.

“I want Kathy to spill the beans, or should we summon Madeline? The two of them put in extra effort just to deal with me,” she said, her voice calm yet piercing.

Responding to Sharon’s baseless accusation, Norah replied coolly, “Mrs. Carter, if you’re content with the divorce terms of having nothing, you’re setting the bar quite low. Derek regretted what he offered to me. I must say, I’m impressed by the Carter family.”

Derek’s expression suddenly shifted dramatically. “What? Derek told you to give up everything? Seriously?” Juliana asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Furious, she pointed at Norah with a trembling finger. “Is this how you treat Norah? What about the promise you made to me?”

Impatience flickered in Derek’s eyes. “Yes, I had said I would compensate her, but that was under the condition that she once took good care of me, and I thought she needed my money. Of course, I recall your words in the study, but she’s now his mistress and doesn’t need anything from our family. The delay in the divorce is on her for not agreeing to my terms.”

“Really? Have you no shame?” Sharon sneered, her tone dripping with malice. “You’ve been kept as a mistress, and you still expect a share from the Carter family? Aren’t you afraid the Scott family will kick you out?”

The idea of Norah living a good life was the last thing Sharon would accept. She had made sure to take deliberate steps to disparage Norah at every opportunity.

Despite feeling tempted to partake in the mockery, Kathy found herself still at the center of reprimand from her family, leaving her with no choice but to stay silent.

Seated beside Norah, Juliana took a deep breath and grasped Norah’s hand, assuring her, “Norah, don’t worry, Derek will give you what the Carter family owes you. It’s good to hear you didn’t accept his outrageous terms. As long as I’m here, I’ll handle the divorce proceedings and everything for you!”

Aware that Juliana was the only member of the Carter family who treated her with genuine kindness, Norah confided, “I’m grateful, Juliana. But I’ve already initiated legal action. Derek went too far.”
