?Chapter 153:


    Kathy nced 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 rtionships. It became unbearable for my brother, leading to their divorce. However, post-divorce, she ckmailed 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 im his wealth.


    “I noticed Norah shing a flirtatious smile at you when I 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 epted 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 provoke me against 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 eximed.


    “Mom, I just messaged my brother. He’ll be hereter, 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 I refrained from causing a scene. I believe further rification 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? Name your price, and we’ll amodate.”


    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. I must assert that I would not consider your requests. Furthermore, when approaching women in the future, refrain from unting 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 nced 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 time on 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. I 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 uster. You should tter her—women appreciatepliments. 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. I guarantee she won’t recall a thing afterward, satisfying us.”


    Emil gave a thumbs-up and eximed, “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 yfully. “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 home was 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 familyst time,” Sharon said.


    “But how could I have pursued a divorce from Derek if I hadn’t gone?” Norah tilted her head, addressing Sharon seriously. “Derek initiated the divorce proceedings and prolonged them. You’re well aware that I owe Kathy gratitude for enabling this opportunity. Without it, I 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. I fail toprehend 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.
