Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 107:

Norah couldn’t help but feel torn. Juliana was the one who truly cared about her, and it was going to be hard to turn down Juliana’s plea. However, Norah was determined to teach Kathy a well-deserved lesson.

Kathy was sitting on the floor, crying her eyes out. Beside Kathy, Madeline pulled off her usual act of playing innocent. Derek simply looked at Madeline with pity. As Norah observed, an indescribable emotion washed over her body.

Generally speaking, Norah wouldn’t have felt this intense fury when faced with Kathy’s insults and Madeline’s acting. However, by striking a deal with the Fox Alliance to kidnap and harm her, Kathy and Madeline had gone too far this time. If Norah hadn’t gone toe-to-toe with the kidnappers and managed to escape promptly, she might be dead now.

Taking that into account, Norah couldn’t suppress her anger toward the duo.

“You knew the situation well enough, Juliana. The fact that I’m still standing here today is nothing short of a miracle. If these two criminals’ plans had worked, I would have died! You know how well-behaved I’ve been since I joined this family, how good I’ve been to your grandson. And now that we’re getting divorced, look at what they did to me! Or do you think I deserve what they did?” Norah fumed.

So powerful was Norah’s voice that when she stopped speaking, every member of the Carter family was silent, exchanging only glances with one another.

Juliana trembled slightly and glanced at Derek, wondering how everything had descended into chaos. The last time she spoke to him in the study, she had made it clear that she was expecting a different outcome.

Juliana knew for sure that Madeline was involved in what had happened. In fact, from what she saw, Madeline was the mastermind behind the kidnapping attempt. Kathy was too innocent and obedient to come up with such an idea.

“Hey, watch your tone. Perhaps you’ve forgotten that you are the reason why your marriage hasn’t borne any fruit. You aren’t getting a divorce because of some evil scheme against you. The divorce is because the Carter family didn’t want anything to do with you,” Sharon argued.

Though she had no idea about Derek’s affairs or actions, Sharon would never miss an opportunity to mock Norah.

“Have you considered for a moment that your beloved son might just be the problem?” Norah sneered.

At that moment, Derek raised his head, facing Sharon, and said, “Norah isn’t to blame for our childless state.”
