?Chapter 1121:


    Hank’s eyes darkened and he said, “Does she really think she can do whatever she wants after getting close to Mr. Scott? Hmph!”


    The two of them regained theirposure and greeted the guests with a smile.


    The banquet hall was simple in design, but at the center of the venue was arge stage, surrounded by flowers. A red carpet stretched from the door to the stage.


    Norah scanned the room and then shifted her gaze away.


    “The decorations in the hall are unimpressive, but they put effort into the stage in the middle. I wonder what major announcement they n to make.”


    Sean picked up a ss of wine. “I don’t know the Wilson family well, and I haven’t coborated much with them.”


    All businessmen were driven by self-interest. They would even work with their enemies if necessary.


    “Well, I’m looking forward to seeing something interesting.” Norah also took a ss of red wine and sipped it. “Sean, go ahead with your business. Don’t worry about me.”


    The banquet was a chance to build connections and foster partnerships. She didn’t need Sean to stay with her.


    Norah gave him a gentle push and walked towards the rest area. He watched her walk away, sighing inwardly. He had nned to introduced her to some of his business associates, but she turned her back on him without hesitation, leaving him alone. Madeline pinched Derek’s waist and said, “What? Still holding a torch for Norah? Can’t keep your eyes off her?”


    Feeling the pinch, Derek averted his gaze from Norah. “I haven’t seen her in a long time, so I looked at her a little longer. Why are you always so suspicious?”

    Madeline also nced over. Norah was sitting on the sofa in the rest area, holding a ss of red wine. Her red lips and the wine in the clear ss seemed to match perfectly. She had caught the attention of many guests at the event.


    Jealousy and resentment shed in Madeline’s eyes. She had heard that Norah had been in a serious car ident, her life at risk, her face disfigured. Yet, Norah appeared healthy now, even more stunning than before.


    No wonder Derek couldn’t take his eyes off her.


    “Ha ha, am I being suspicious? Then why are you still watching her? Do you secretly hope she stays single andes back to you? Let me tell you, it’s not going to happen.”


    Madeline’s words had hit a nerve. Derek’s embarrassment turned into anger. “Enough. We’re here for the banquet. Stop spouting nonsense.”
