Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 681

Chapter 681:

Suddenly, she let go of Dolores’s chin and slapped her sharply across the face.

“Now, | admit | slapped you.”

The pain from the slap didn’t register with Dolores until after it had happened. With a cry of agony, tears began

to stream down her face as she spun around and buried her face in Marlin’s chest.

“Marlin, she slapped me!” she sobbed.

The slap, delivered forcefully in front of everyone—and particularly in front of Marlin—felt like an affront to him

as well. Norah had locked eyes with Marlin as she struck Dolores, leaving him puzzled and unable to decipher the

complex emotions behind her gaze.

The crowd was left in stunned silence after Norah's swift, precise slap. Dolores turned around, the red imprint on

her face now slightly swollen.

Nonchalantly, Norah wiped the foundation from her hand onto a tissue, her composure unshaken.

“| dislike being accused falsely,” she declared coolly. “Since you insisted | had slapped you, | merely fulfilled your

assertion. No thanks are necessary.”

Her gaze then shifted to Marlin, piercing him with her clear eyes.

“Mr. Boyd, I've heard your comments. There's no need for you to dismiss us; we will leave voluntarily.”

With that, she returned to Sean's side, taking his hand.

“Darling, let's leave,” she said firmly, making it clear she wanted nothing more to do with the Boyd family.

Yolande’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Norah was magnificent! The unfolding seemed to confirm her

suspicions that Dolores was scheming and harboring ulterior motives.

Watching Norah's assertive departure, Yolande quickly added, “Norah, letwalk you out.”

But before anyone could move, a chilling voice halted them. “Did | give you permission to leave?”

Marlin’s tone was icy, his anger palpable, radiating a pressure that made the bystanders instinctively step back.

His mood had darkened significantly.

Norah inclined her head slightly, her tone unwavering as she addressed Marlin. “Mr. Boyd, you made it clear that

if | couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation, you would escort us out. There is no need for such measures.

We'll take our leave on our own.”

Her confident demeanor, disregarding the Boyd family’s authority, elicited a collective shake of heads from the

bystanders. They thought Norah had underestimated the influence of the Boyd family and that she would soon

learn the consequences of her defiance.
