?Chapter 150:


    Corrin felt a surge of excitement at Sharon’s revtion. Norah held two-thirds of the Carter family’s wealth, and if she allowed a portion of it to be redirected to the Wilson family, it could significantly contribute to their growth.


    “Samira and I learned about Norah’s divorce and were concerned about her well-being. We wanted to spend some time with her tofort her. But simple expressions of concern might not be enough,” Corrin quickly altered his demeanor, approaching Norah with apparent concern. “My birthday banquet is the perfect chance to bring her in for a reunion. Norah,e inside. Your mom and I are busy with the guests, but we can catch upter.”


    Norah easily perceived that Corrin’s kindness was motivated by the Carter family’s wealth in her possession.


    Kathy couldn’t bear witnessing Norah being treated so well. Norah not only possessed considerable wealth, but she also shared connections with Sean and the Scott family.


    Corrin’s excitement was palpable, and his breath momentarily caught. He mused, “Could there be something between Norah and Sean? Is there a genuine connection? If we can establish ties with the Scott family, the Wilson family’s growth would be assured.”


    Rubbing his hands in excitement, Corrin addressed Norah, “Let Luna take you inside first. We can talkter.” Hepletely disregarded Sharon and Kathy standing beside him.


    Meanwhile, Kathy sent a message to Derek before putting away her phone and turning to Sharon. “Mom, now that we’re here, let’s go inside and have a look.” Sharon retrieved a small box from her bag and presented it to Samira. “Here’s the birthday gift from the Carter family. We certainly don’t want any rumors about ourck of etiquette.”


    Samira epted it with a sour expression. “Thank you, Mrs. Carter.” Once everyone was inside, Samira discreetly opened the box, revealing a mediocre jade pendant. She promptly shut the box, approached Corrin, and clenched her teeth. “She presents this rubbish with such disdain. Who does she think she is?” The pendant was petite, likely valued at less than twenty thousand.

    Corrin examined it briefly, but his attention was focused on Sharon and Kathy. “Whoever has the gold makes the rules. Let them be cocky for now. Once our family thrives, we’ll make them pay.” He etched the humiliations endured over the years deep into his heart, anticipating the opportunity to retaliate step by step.


    “Norah is tired. We simply need to pacify her and persuade her to keep supporting the Wilson family. As someone without close family ties, what she desires most is affection. A few kind words might instill belief in her,” he suggested.


    Samira nodded. “Got it. I’m confident in handling Norah.” To Samira, Norah was simply an orphan who had stumbled upon a fantastic opportunity and gained wealth. It was all owed to the opportunities they facilitated.


    “If Luna hadn’t been pregnant with another man’s child at that time, Norah, an outsider, wouldn’t have had the opportunity to marry Derek, let alone relish wealth and luxury.”


    Luna and Norah strolled together, with Luna holding Sha’s hand. The well-mannered Sha, obediently walking, was crying, causing somemotion as they moved along.


    “I didn’t anticipate you having some nicks and managing to secure a share from the Carter family,” Luna couldn’t resist mocking.


    After Norah married Derek, Luna had inquired about Norah’s situation. The knowledge of Norah’s mistreatment and the humiliation she suffered from Sharon and Kathy left Luna feeling lucky that she hadn’t married Derek. Derek, bedridden after the car ident, was essentially a vegetable. Without Derek stepping up for her, Norah’s married life had been far from pleasant and only worsened with Kathy and Sharon’s constant mocking and interference. Luna felt that Norah was a pushover.


    Later, when Derek finally woke up from hisa, Luna had assumed that Norah’s good days had begun, thinking Derek would defend her. However, Norah’s life remained unchanged, transitioning into Derek’s personal servant, always at his side and remarkably obedient.


    Based on this information, Luna genuinely believed Norah to be weak and submissive. Therefore, Sharon’s revtion about Norah iming two-thirds of the Carter family’s assets shocked her.


    Lunamented, “Sure enough, first love is unforgettable for men. When Madeline returned, Derek promptly abandoned you. I did pity your life with the Carter family, but after discovering you divorced and acquired substantial property, I suddenly didn’t find you as pitiable.”


    Luna assumed Norah could remarry, but she knew wealth wasn’t easily acquired.


    At the thought of this, Luna tightened her grip and dered, “Norah, it was the Wilson family that granted you the opportunity to marry Derek. You should acknowledge that!”


    Norah’s red high heels came to a stop. She inclined her head slightly, appearing unfazed. “So, what exactly are you trying to get at?”


    Luna ground her teeth. “A portion of the Carter family’s property should be allocated to the Wilson family!”


    Norah chuckled. “Keep dreaming. Think before you spout nonsense again. Do you really think that’s feasible?”


    Their previous encounter had been tense, with Luna demanding Norah return what was rightfully hers at the hospital entrance. Now, Luna sought a share for the Wilson family.


    “Do you think you deserve it?” Norah replied coldly. “But you do remind me of my separation from the Wilson family.” The im that Norah was part of the Wilson family had only been valid when she married Derek. In reality, she was never rted to the Wilson family by blood.


    Norah added, “I prefer not to dwell on what transpired two years ago, but if you persist in debating it, please ensure your parents are present. After all, we reached that deal after discussions among us.”


    Norah’s nonchnt demeanor evidently infuriated Luna. She halted, facing Norah head-on. “The Wilson family undeniably provided you with an opportunity. Without them, would you have attained all this? Wealth, connections, and everything followed your marriage into the Carter family. My parents may not care, but that doesn’t mean I won’t. If the Carter family discovers you’re not rted to the Wilson family by blood, what impression will they have of you?”


    “Derek and I are divorced. I’m indifferent to the opinion of the Carter family regarding me,” Norah said with a slight smirk. “The divorce agreement is signed, and I possess the divorce certificate. I have no ties to the Carter family whatsoever. Regardless of my deal with your family back then, I doubt the Carter family will care.”


    “You!” Luna’s face turned red with fury.


    In the hotel corridor, Luna, d in a shiny silver dress, held her daughter, Sha, with one hand, her eyes nearly spitting fire. On the other hand, Norah exuded a determined aura in a bright red fishtail gown, emanating a formidable presence. Bystanders couldn’t resist stealing nces at the two women.


    “Norah, you ought to know how to repay kindness!” Luna urged.


    Norah brushed off Luna’s words with a wave of her hand. “This doesn’t justify your moral coercion.”


    “Since you married Derek, your rtionship with the Wilson family has been closely intertwined!”


    “That’s absurd.”


    As they conversed, Sha observed their expressions, puzzled by the meaning of their exchange. One thing was clear to her—her mom was upset.


    Norah initially perceived that Luna’s mindset was slightly off during their first encounter. As she grew more acquainted with Luna, she realized that Luna’s mental state was not merely slightly off. It was significantly impaired. How else could Luna’s spouting of nonsense be exined?


    Norah pondered how Luna’s parents had raised her.


    Luna fell for a man’s charming words before marriage, became pregnant, and naively believed he treated her well. Tsk, one could easily describe that as having a love-struck mind, couldn’t they?
