Chapter: 11

Seeing the resolve on Derek's face, Madeline pressed on, “Let's not forget she doused us with water earlier today. Besides, she's fine. Whatever trouble she finds herself in, she's asked for it. No woman who respects herself would be out here chasing men at a club after splitting up. She's just playing the victim."

In the middle of Jordy's bluster, Norah coolly pulled a business card from her purse and flung it at Jordy's feet, commanding, "Shut up!"

But Jordy was too worked up to stop. Without checking the business card, he commented, “Why do you think throwing a business card at me will make me shut up? That's hilarious! You're not getting out of Glamour Club safe and sound today!"

Jordy barely glanced at the business card lying on the ground, his voice dripping with arrogance.

Norah remained unfazed, dismissing Jordy's aggressive stance with ease.

“Sweetheart, just one night with me, and I'll make sure you live in opulence," Jordy offered.

Mesmerized by the gorgeous Norah before him, Jordy briefly disregarded the ache in his jaw and reached out to feel Norah's sleek shoulder.

Suddenly, the sound of a beer bottle hitting someone's head reverberated.

Everyone gasped as Norah slammed a beer bottle onto Jordy's head, making blood trickle down his face right away.

“Do my words mean nothing to you?" Norah asked, her tone icy.

Frustrated by the necessity for such extreme measures, Norah's actions spoke volumes. Some lessons were only learned the hard way.

The crowd was in disbelief. If the earlier incident with Jordy's teeth loss was surprising, this deliberate act of aggression from Norah was shocking!

“Poor Norah. Jordy's probably going to give her a hard time now."

"Damn, is Norah always this bold? She just hit him on the head! It seems like that's her usual move! Cool!"

"Check out Jordy's face. That beer bottle broke, and Norah went all out! I wonder if he's got a bump on his head."

Madeline held onto Derek's arm firmly and said, "Derek, with Norah completely getting on Jordy's bad side, if you step in to help her, you'll rub the Smith family the wrong way!"

Kathy echoed, “Exactly. Derek, why mess with the Carter family's interests for someone who doesn't matter? We'll only be in trouble if we upset the Smith family."

Madeline added, "I trust Norah to handle Jordy her way. Why stress over her? Just wait and see. She's got something up her sleeve."

As she gazed at the stunning Norah, Madeline gained pleasure from the imagination of Jordy torturing Norah to death.

Jordy got smacked, and his head was spinning. He reached out, feeling woozy when he noticed the blood.

“Get a hold of this damned woman for me, now! She doesn't know any better. I'll teach her a lasting lesson right here!" Jordy yelled after regaining his consciousness in a while.

His face contorted horribly, blood trickling from his forehead.

Bathed in the club lights, he resembled a demon from the depths of hell.

The crowd at the bar, familiar with Jordy's notorious reputation, marveled at Norah's bravery but pitied her situation. They all thought Norah wouldn't leave the Glamour Club unscathed for confronting Jordy.
