Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 106:

Sharon was at a loss for words, stunned by the way Norah retorted. Still wanting to downplay her wrongdoings, Kathy swiped at her tears and said, “I truly had no idea those people were so cruel. I just wanted to teach Norah a small lesson. Please, grandma, you have to believe me.”

Yet, their eyes fell on the hickeys around Kathy’s neck, triggering them to suddenly remember that they were in the middle of disciplining Kathy before Norah arrived. Norah’s arrival had interrupted that matter for the time being.

Sharon was fuming. From her perspective, Kathy was usually a well-behaved little girl. The nerve of Kathy, intending to harm with the help of gangsters, shocked her. She assumed she had taught Derek and Kathy in the same manner. She couldn’t fathom why Kathy would turn out to be this malicious.

“Derek, call Madeline over. Let’s get to the root of this issue.” Sharon eyed Kathy frostily, hoping Kathy hadn’t lied and shifted all the blame onto Madeline.

Norah comforted Juliana. She had avoided troubling Juliana in the past because she was worried Juliana’s condition would be affected by the intense anger triggered by Derek’s ridiculous behavior. However, Kathy’s actions were even more disgusting than Derek’s. Norah felt that if she had the chance to be alone with Kathy at that moment, she would have already thrashed Kathy soundly.

“Yes, let’s call Madeline over and discuss how to deal with this matter.”

Norah seethed inwardly but maintained her composure, appearing indifferent to the situation.

Juliana knew that Norah was enraged right now. She grasped the gravity of the situation and understood the need for proper handling. Otherwise, the bad blood between Norah and the Carter family would only grow. She had once hoped that, even after Norah and Derek parted ways, Norah and the Carter family could still socialize frequently. But now, it dawned on her that it would be considered a favorable outcome if they did not end up as enemies. After all, Derek’s and Kathy’s actions were truly despicable.

Derek called Madeline and arranged for a driver to bring her here.

Madeline entered the house meekly. She swept her eyes around the living room, stood next to Derek, and hesitantly asked, “Derek, what’s going on? What is Norah doing here? Was she here to visit Juliana and Sharon? Didn’t she accompany Mr. Scott to the auction today? Why did she show up at Carter Manor in the afternoon?”

With that, Madeline walked toward Kathy. Before Derek could say anything, Madeline went to Kathy’s side and crouched down next to her. As Madeline supported Kathy, her
