Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 159:

Samira, standing next to Corrin, eagerly opened the gift right there, revealing a pendant inside. This pendant’s value was significantly higher than the one Sharon had given them before. Samira caught her breath at the sight of it.

She turned to Susanna with wide eyes, completely taken aback by Susanna’s kindness. In her excitement, she grabbed Corrin’s wrist to show him the pendant, and his eyes lit up the moment he laid eyes on it.

“Miss Scott, I’m so glad you could make it to my birthday banquet. Please, have a seat,” Corrin greeted Susanna warmly.

Susanna looked around and said, “Well, I guess I arrived just in time. The banquet hasn’t even started. Let’s sit down and enjoy the dishes, everyone.” All the onlookers found their seats.

Norah, sitting beside Susanna, filled Susanna’s glass with water. “I appreciate it, Susanna,” Norah said.

Susanna smiled. “You’re my friend. I couldn’t just watch you struggle without doing anything. I just wish I had gotten here sooner. In that case, those two wouldn’t have dared to act so boldly.”

Susanna felt she hadn’t given Kalel and Emil a strong enough lesson earlier. She purposefully instructed the head of her bodyguards to ensure they handled Kalel and Emil “properly.”

Corrin and Samira, now knowing Susanna’s identity and fully aware of the strength of the Scott family, showed Susanna even more respect and care than they did for their own daughter Luna.

Luna remained silent, understanding that the Wilson family’s rise in status would benefit her. In such a scenario, Dooley wouldn’t consider divorcing her. Catching Dooley’s assessing look, she felt somewhat reassured. Luna was confident that with Susanna backing the Wilson family, Dooley would recognize the Scott family’s high regard for the Wilson family and wouldn’t rush into a divorce. She knew Dooley had intentions of bringing up the topic of divorcing her today.

Corrin had been eager to learn about the Scott family through Susanna. Susanna was direct, but Norah stepped in to deflect the questions. Corrin didn’t uncover much, but he wasn’t deterred. “Susanna, how do you know Norah? I’ve never heard her mention you,” he asked.

As Susanna enjoyed her meal, she remarked, “Norah and I are friends. It’s been a brief period, so perhaps she hasn’t had the chance to mention it to you.”
