Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 314:

When Norah signed the divorce agreement, Derek was unexpectedly hit with a wave of sadness. Though he couldn’t fully explain the source of the feeling, he quickly pushed it to the back of his mind, as he had done so many times before.

For the past two years, Norah had taken care of all Derek’s needs on a daily basis. He had grown accustomed to her presence, and her sudden departure left him feeling empty and uncertain.

When Derek decided to divorce Norah, he had already planned the compensation he would give her to make up for the years she had dedicated to him. However, after the agreement was signed, Derek noticed something surprising. Norah was doing just fine. She was surrounded by several influential figures, like Bryson from the Andrews family, Spencer from the Morris family, Kason and Kaiden from the Hayes family, and even Sean from the Scott family.

Moreover, Madeline repeatedly expressed her concerns about their future, claiming that if Derek gave that large sum of money to Norah, they wouldn’t be able to build their dream home.

As a result of the financial constraints they would face, Derek decided to hold onto the money. He didn’t want to see Norah use his funds to attract other men. He wasn’t that generous.

Now, Norah had transformed from someone he once saw as a pushover into a formidable figure.

Through threats, Norah had managed to claim two-thirds of the Carter family’s assets, leaving Derek in a shattered state.
