Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 421

Chapter 421:

“Hank, as long as you stay outside the manor, your wife won't discover you're cheating on her.”

Larry lived with his in-laws. Elsa liked him solely for his good looks. Beyond his appearance, she saw no appeal in

him. He was neither her intellectual nor emotional equal. Elsa often visited nightclubs to unwind and engage in

casual flings when she grew tired of him. Nobody was aware of her betrayal.

Hank had been unfaithful to his wife for stime, but he had never openly admitted it to his family. He

appeared uncomfortable. “Elsa, that’s not something a lady like you should discuss.”

Elsa pursed her lips and checked her reflection in the mirror. “Hank, don’t stick to such outdated views. Mom

isn’t against it. Why are you upset about it?”

Mindy cleared her throat. “Your brother has a point. Ladies should be more discreet.”

It appeared that she needed to be more cautious when interacting with that guard.

Eventually, every member of Iker’'s family gathered. Iker arrived late. It always took him a while to secure all the

documents in the room’s safe before he left. Everyone was aware that Norah had returned.

“Where's Norah? Wasn't she back for Elsa’s birthday celebration?” Iker asked, irritation creeping into his voice

after waiting for nearly twenty minutes.

The butler, a sharp and seasoned middle-aged man dressed in his uniform, stepped forward. “Sir, Miss Norah is

at the cemetery.”

Mindy snapped, her anger evident. “Her deceased parents take precedence over us? She lacks basic manners!”

It was Elsa’s birthday today, yet Norah's first stop was the cemetery. Elsa, her voice gentle and understanding,

said, “Mom Norah just misses her parents. It's alright. Once she leaves the cemetery, we can have her join us in

the banquet hall.”

“Got it,” the butler responded, nodding before he retreated.

After stime, Norah, dressed simply, followed the butler into the room.

The banquet hall was splendid and grand, filled with members of Elsa’s family, each adorned in elegant dresses

and makeup. Elsa, the birthday girl, was particularly decked out, as if she couldn't wait to showcase all her finest

attire. Norah entered slowly, her long white dress adorned with two water lily ornaments on her shoulders, her

hair intricately braided into a fishtail that trailed behind her. Her dress bore a resemblance to Elsa's.

It was clear to any observant onlooker that Norah wore no makeup, yet her natural beauty was striking. Her

flawless skin and bright, star-like eyes drew attention immediately.

As she made her entrance, Elsa, despite her careful preparation, seemed to fade into the background. The

women around felt a twinge of envy. Elsa herself couldn't hide her feelings.

“Norah, today is my birthday. Wouldn't it be fitting for you to arrive here without a gift?” she remarked, her tone

laced with sarcasm as she eyed Norah's empty hands, choosing to overlook her attire.

Elsa rose and stepped forward, her pink dress swirling around her. She casually adjusted her crown, her eyes

gleaming with pride.

“This crown is a gift from my dad. It's a priceless piece from an auction, worth millions!”

Larry, holding a child, overheard her and gave a subtle glance at the glittering crown. Crafted from silver and

studded with numerous small diamonds, it featured a prominent, thumb-sized pink diamond at its center.
