Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 156:

Norah cast her gaze downward, masking any emotions behind a simple “Fine by me.” Observing Shayla with her parents, Norah felt a sense of relief and quickly maneuvered past the group. Luna had forged her own path, and Norah recognized she had no right to intervene, even for Shayla’s sake.

Just as the group was about to depart, Emil and Kalel emerged from the opposite direction.

“Luna is far too modest. It’s a shame she doesn’t possess allure. Otherwise, with a suggestion from us, she’d be on her knees, eagerly flattering us,” Kalel commented.

Emil teased, “Quite interesting, isn’t it? They’re sisters, yet Norah is strikingly more beautiful. It’s almost irresistible.”

Kalel’s eyes glinted with resolve. “Once you’ve ensnared her, you’ll see things differently. Follow my instructions and intercept her after the banquet.”

“Sure,” Emil replied.

Norah reentered the bustling hall from the corridor. Over time, the majority of the invited guests had made their appearances. Upon catching sight of Norah, attendees couldn’t help but admire her beauty, casting appreciative glances in her direction. Her beauty was undeniable, drawing all the attention in the banquet hall and radiating brilliance.

“Derek, here,” Kathy and Sharon occupied the sofa near the entrance, eagerly awaiting Derek’s presence. Spotting Derek, adorned in new attire and accompanied by Madeline, Kathy waved in his direction to offer a greeting.

This marked Kathy’s first encounter with Madeline following their confrontation at the villa. Kathy outright ignored Madeline’s presence.

“Derek, see, Norah is over there,” Kathy’s fingers pointed to the woman standing casually by the table, elegantly holding a champagne glass and exuding a relaxed charm. Two stylishly dressed young men were engaged in conversation with her.

Curious about Norah’s newfound acquaintances, Derek gestured toward them. “When did Norah become acquainted with Mr. Palmer and Mr. Payne?”

Norah had forged ties with them. Kathy vividly recounted the
