Chapter 283
“Norah!” Nicolas shouted at Norah’s retreating figure. “No matter what, I really love you, I really do!”
Norah didn’t even look back.
The birthday party had already been set up on the lawn in the backyard, under the huge sun umbrella,
the long table was full of various dishes, desserts, cocktails and large pink balloons. Swimsuits were
laid out near the swimming pool for everyone. Lillie and her friends were eating, drinking, chatting, and
having a blast.
Estelle was sitting on a swing and raised her eyebrows at Norah as she walked over by herself.
Norah responded with a casual smile.
“Norah!” Sara called out. “Your pool is so huge! We’re going to have a swimming race – you in?”

Khloe and the others noticed that Norah was alone, with Nicolas nowhere to be found. Although
puzzled, they didn’t dare to ask and just crowded around Norah, putting a wreath of flowers on her
head and wishing her a happy birthday.
When Nicolas returned to the rental house, he saw Leah in her pajamas, looking for something in the
bedroom with messy bed hair. Her face was oily and covered with a few dark spots after staying up all
night, which looked disgusting.
Nicolas stared at her blankly, thinking about Norah’s adorable, healthy figure, and felt more and more
depressed. How could he have chosen Leah over Norah? In terms of family background, Leah wasn’t
nothing compared to Norah!
At that moment, he hated himself immensely. But the hatred eventually turned towards Norah. If she
hadn’t hidden her identity, how could he ever have been interested in Leah? How could he have ended
up like this?
Hearing him enter, she looked up and asked, “I can’t find a pair of earrings from GK Jewelry Studio.
Have you seen them?”
“No! Nicolas snapped, sitting on the sofa and holding his head, filled with regret.
Leah walked over in her nightgown and reached out to Nicolas. “I don’t have any money on me – give
me a thousand!”
Nicolas didn’t even look up and coldly replied, “I don’t have any money!”
“How could you have no money? I spent a hundred thousand on you. Where is the money?” Leah
stared at him and asked.
Hearing this made Nicolas even angrier. He stood up and said, “You’ve been living here these past few
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdays, spending so much on food and drink, You also asked me for almost ten thousand! Aren’t you
Austin’s only daughter? Didn’t he leave you anything? And do you really not have any money of your
own?”
Leah never thought her family would go bankrupt. The money her father gave her was never enough to
cover her expenses, let alone have any savings. She couldn’t help but get angry. “What’s wrong with
me living here? I paid for this house, so it’s you living in my home!”
The more Nicolas looked at Leah, the angrier he became. “You think I enjoy spending your money? If it
wasn’t for you, Norah wouldn’t have broken up with me!”
“Bullshit!” Leah glared back. “You’re just a mooch! If it wasn’t for me, could you even stay in my dad’s
company? If it wasn’t for me, could you even afford this place, you ungrateful bastard?!”
“Slap!”
Leah was slapped across the face, looking at Nicolas in shock. Before site could react, he slapped her
again
