Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 153:

Kathy glanced at Norah with disdain and remarked, “Norah was married to my brother for two years, yet she

couldn’t even conceive. Moreover, she engaged in inappropriate relationships. It becunbearable for my

brother, leading to their divorce. However, post-divorce, she blackmailed us and seized our property. Truly

despicable!”

Kathy's and Sharon's performance triggered whispers and pointing from onlookers. Oblivious to the truth, they

bought Kathy’s and Sharon’s words and assumed that Norah's motive for divorce was to secure the Carter

family’s wealth. Norah's marriage to Derek, in his vegetative state, confirmed the onlookers’ assumption that

Norah's greed for the Carter family’s property was the driving force behind the divorce.

The Wilson family’s tactics seemed ruthless, making Norah marry a man in a vegetative state just to claim his

wealth.

“I noticed Norah flashing a flirtatious smile at you when | entered,” Sharon added, “Hence the reminder. Please,

don’t let it distract you. Norah has a way with sweet talk. Don’t be fooled by her charms.”

Sharon said this with feigned sincerity. Emil refrained from expressing his true intentions. He simply desired

intimacy with Norah due to her beauty, indifferent to her past or future. All he sought was a fleeting moment of

happiness.

“Oh, thank you, Mrs. Carter,” Emil replied.

“However, Miss Wilson, you are a delightful person,” Emil said, his tone smooth. “We aim to befriend you, and

you need not concern yourself. Miss Wilson, shall we move over there for a chat?” Emil extended another

invitation to Norah, who accepted it without hesitation.

Surrounded by Emil and Kalel, she proceeded toward the sofa, ignoring the evident frustration of Sharon and

Kathy. Norah walked past Kathy and Sharon with an air of superiority. “I had warned you not to provokeagain

last time,” she said.

Norah's indifferent demeanor, along with her cold smile, inexplicably unsettled the two. Sharon felt a pang of

anger so intense that it hurt. “Norah doesn’t even bother pretending to be cordial. She openly flirts with men in

front of us!” she exclaimed.

“Mom, | just messaged my brother. He'll be here later, and perhaps Madeline will join as well. Shall we

orchestrate a conflict between them?” Kathy asked, her voice tinged with malice.

After a moment of thought, Sharon nodded in agreement. “Good idea. This birthday banquet isn’t significant.

Let's cause a scene.”

As Kathy and Sharon moved away, Norah halted. “Gentlemen, there was a crowd earlier, so | refrained from

causing a scene. | believe further clarification is unnecessary. After all, I've made my point clear.”

Emil maintained his smile, undeterred. “Miss Wilson, we're genuine. Would you consider it?” Lowering his voice,

he continued, “Now that you're divorced, are you facing financial difficulties? Isn’t the Wilson family dependent

on you for support? Nyour price, and we'll accommodate.”

Kalel observed Norah with a sinister gaze.

Noticing the stubborn expressions on the two men’s faces, Norah's countenance grew somber. “Mr. Palmer, I'm

puzzled as to why you believe I'm financially strained. The truth is, I'm financially secure. | must assert that |

would not consider your requests. Furthermore, when approaching women in the future, refrain from flaunting

wealth. In my view, it’s distasteful.”

Her identity as a Supernatural Doctor, charging over $10 million for medical services, made her regard these two

men as mere jesters.

Kalel grinned wryly. “Miss Wilson, you're quite fiery. Why did you remain silent when you encountered Mrs. Carter

earlier?”

Norah crossed her arms and glanced up with a faint sneer. Truthfully, she had no desire to converse with the two.

In her opinion, Sharon and Kathy were both unintelligent, and engaging in arguments with them would only

lower her standing.

“Don’t waste your ton me. Goodbye,” Norah waved gracefully before departing.

Kalel's interest piqued. “I initially perceived her as a materialistic woman fixated on wealth, but her fiery

temperament intrigues me. | relish the challenge of winning over such a beauty.”

Emil understood Kalel’s preferences. Kalel enjoyed pursuing women who initially rejected him, eventually

coercing them into falling for him, only to abandon them without remorse.

“Kalel, this woman is remarkable. Look at her figure. It rivals that of many models, and her legs are slender. You

must find a way to win her over.” Emil draped his arm over Kalel’s shoulder, eyeing Norah's graceful figure with

longing, observing her curves with an unashamed gaze.

Kalel shrugged off Emil’s hand. “The banquet has just begun, hasn't it? Let's keep pursuing her. Perhaps she'll

reconsider and join us later. You should flatter her—women appreciate compliments. Moreover, she’s recently

divorced. She must be seeking intimacy. The two of us can surely fulfill her desires. We'll stick by her side

throughout the banquet.”

Kalel's eyes gleamed. “I have special pills in my car. We can discreetly drug her. | guarantee she won't recall a

thing afterward, satisfying us.”

Emil gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, “Let’s go, bro!”

Unaware of the two men’s intentions, Norah pivoted in the banquet hall and headed to the bathroom. Upon

exiting, she spotted Kathy adjusting her makeup in front of the mirror. Norah averted her gaze, feigning

ignorance, and proceeded to wash her hands leisurely.

“Norah, do you think highly of yourself?” Kathy asked.

Norah paused but pretended not to hear Kathy.

“You are quite something. Post-divorce, you've acquired a significant portion of our assets. Upon rejoining the

Wilson family, you're held in high regard. Your associations with Mr. Scott, Mr. Hayes, and other affluent

individuals in Glophia speak volumes about your tactics.” Kathy chuckled self-deprecatingly. “So, how did you

manage it? Who guided you? Who supported you?”

“How could you be unaware? Aren't you well-informed?” Norah turned off the tap and regarded Kathy playfully.

“Honestly, I'm quite curious. What repercussions did you face in the Carter family’s residence after my

departure?”

Kathy's expression froze. The punishment she endured at hwas distressing to discuss, especially since it

was evident that her grandmother favored Norah. Juliana had imparted a stern lesson. Fortunately, her mother

intervened. Kathy remained silent as Sharon emerged from the bathroom.

“Norah, if you truly cared about Kathy, you wouldn't have visited the Carter family last time,” Sharon said.

“But how could | have pursued a divorce from Derek if | hadn't gone?” Norah tilted her head, addressing Sharon

seriously. “Derek initiated the divorce proceedings and prolonged them. You're well aware that | owe Kathy

gratitude for enabling this opportunity. Without it, | wouldn't have acquired as much property from the Carter

family.”

Glimpsing Sharon's and Kathy's frustrated expressions, Norah smiled gleefully and flicked water droplets off her

hands. “We're practically strangers now. | fail to comprehend your eagerness to stir up trouble for me. Your

efforts are futile. Madeline is the one you should concern yourself with.”

Norah walked past the two, suggesting lightly, “If you have leisure, why not direct your attention toward

Madeline and Derek?”

Causing trouble for her was futile. Norah wouldn't let it affect her. She walked briskly, unaware of the resentful

gazes from Kathy and Sharon.
