?Chapter 596:


    “Norah!”


    She heard her name called. Turning around, she saw…


    Corrin hurried towards her.


    “We need to talk, Norah. Let’s find a ce.” Norah was puzzled. She was scheduled to leave for Silverdale on an exchange program tomorrow, and it baffled her why so many people were seeking her out after work today. All she had wanted was to go home, have dinner, and get a good night’s sleep. Instead, her ns were disrupted as she found herself meeting with numerous people after work.


    Quietly, Norah turned away and continued walking forward without pause, quickening her pace as if she hadn’t heard anything.


    Corrin, sure she had seen him, followed. Keeping his voice down due to the hospital setting, he persisted. “Norah, I’m calling you. Didn’t you hear me?”


    Finally stopping, Norah turned with a feigned innocent expression. “Sorry, I didn’t hear you.”


    Corrin, visibly frustrated, flushed with irritation.


    “Okay, I need to talk to you about something.”


    Norah nced at her phone, indicating her hurry. “If you have something to say, please make it quick. I’m in a rush.”


    “Why did you cancel the cooperation?” Corrin demanded.

    Corrin didn’t beat around the bush, asking straight up, “You’re the mastermind behind the Wilson and Scott Groups teaming up. We’ve got a few projects on the line, and now you’re talking about pulling out. Do you even realize how much the Scott Group is going to take a hit?”


    Before they joined forces, bothpanies signed on the dotted line. Now, the Scotts were breaking that pact and would have to pay a hefty chunk in damages. But the promise of fat profits from the partnership outweighed thepensations the Scott Group would have to pay.


    Plus, there were heaps of projects hanging in the bnce. The news of their split blindsided Corrin, leaving him reeling. Luna’s words from the night before shed in his mind; she had mentioned Norah’s uing business trip to Silverdale for three months, and that lit a fire under him to act fast. Luckily, he caught her just in time.


    Hearing Corrin’s usation, Norah knew her chat with Sean the night before had hit the mark. The fact that all coboration had ground to a halt spoke of her influence. “Why shouldn’t the Scott Group pull out of the partnership?” she asked. “Their alliance with yourpany was formed out of a misunderstanding. It’ll be better for them to stop now and cut their losses. They did this to also shield yourpany from potential losses in a way.”


    “But if they back out now, it’ll hit mypany hard!” Corrin’s outcry caused a stir among the onlookers, prompting him to lower his voice. “Norah, weren’t you the one who set up this alliance for mypany?” He had believed that she had done it as a way to show gratitude, her connection to his family being the only way a girl like her could marry into a family such as the Carters. But in reality, he was overthinking it.
