Chapter: 181

Before Norah could respond, Joanna abruptly sat upright and called out, “Excuse me, bring the priciest wine over here!"

Norah held Joanna's shoulder, apologizing, “Sorry for having you witness this scene."

Joanna's vision went blurry because of the alcohol. She blinked a few times to discern the man in front of her. "Sean? Are you Sean?"

Joanna murmured, in a daze, "Sean, do you like Norah? What's happening between you and Amabel? Norah, don't fall for Sean easily."

Sean raised his eyebrow and glanced at Norah. "Norah, is that what you want to ask?"

Norah played dumb. “What? What are you talking about, Sean? Joanna's intoxicated. You can't take her words seriously."

Sean deduced Norah was sober since she could react to steady Joanna when Joanna sat up abruptly. However, when Joanna posed those questions, Norah didn't attempt to silence her.

A waiter placed a glass of wine before Sean, who lifted it, gazing downward, adding to his enigmatic aura.

"Are you acquainted with Amabel?" Sean inquired.

"I don't know her. Joanna knows her and brought her up," Norah replied casually. "Sean, do you know her? I heard you had dinner together."

Sean lowered his head to sip his drink, exuding a dignified air.

“I'm not acquainted with her."

Norah smirked. If she hadn't seen those photos, she might have believed him.

"Not familiar? But you had dinner together? And seemed to have a pleasant time!" Joanna smiled and quizzed him.

Joanna's thoughts were muddled. She uttered what came to her mind without considering the consequence of her words.

Sean raised his gaze to meet Norah's calm demeanor. She was seemingly awaiting his response.

Sean suddenly smiled. “I'm not sure how you got that information. But we didn't dine together. We merely chatted for a couple of minutes before I left."

Joanna murmured, “What's the difference?"

Norah couldn't help but laugh. Joanna was adorable at times.

Sean ceased drinking. Catching the smile in Norah's eyes, he sighed.

“Miss Andrews, there's a significant distinction."

Norah, of course, knew that, but Joanna's words and Sean's expression made her burst into laughter. She laughed because probably no one had dared to talk to Sean like this before. After all, he was the head of the Scott family.

However, when Sean mentioned Amabel, he hesitated. "Do you mind my having seen Amabel at a dinner?" His expression darkened as he recalled his previous encounter with Amabel.

"I don't even know her. Why would I mind?" Norah regarded Sean coldly. "She's supposed to be a friend of yours, isn't she?"
