Chapter: 184

The receptionist hesitated. "That's not the usual procedure..."

The woman pushed a gift box to the receptionist, who accepted it silently. “Please wait here. I'll inform HR."

Following the interview, the HR representative stood up, extending a handshake with a smile. "Miss Morris, I've reviewed your resume. It fits well with the company's position and future goals. Can you begin on Monday?"

"Absolutely." Amabel nodded and, before departing, inquired, "Is the chairman currently present?"

The HR representative shook his head. "On weekends, the chairman sometimes drops by, but he's not here at the moment."

Amabel felt a wave of disappointment and simply replied, “Okay.”

At the Splendor Building, Joanna grasped Norah's hand as they entered a luxurious BelleVogue store. Pointing at a dress on the wall, Joanna exclaimed, "Norah, this dress is gorgeous! Do you want to try it on?"

“Life certainly changes when you're linked with the Andrews family, venturing into a luxury store like BelleVogue. Can you afford it?"

Kathy's mocking voice was carried from a distance.

Norah turned to see Kathy and Madeline entering the store together.

Madeline smiled gently but spoke with a subtle edge. "With Mr. Scott and Mr. Hayes, Miss Wilson could likely afford BelleVogue'’s Luxury items even without Miss Andrews, don't you think?"

Kathy sneered, “She's only got money from leeching off rich men. When she was with my brother, she was constantly asking for money to buy things. I distinctly recall seeing an expensive item in her closet, the same one she wore in the video you showed me Last time. It cost millions! Does my brother make money that easily? Marrying a spendthrift who dropped a million on one dress is a catastrophe."

Kathy fixed her gaze on Norah, her words dripping with malice.

Norah remained silent. Kathy pressed on, “Actually, I shouldn't question your ability to afford BelleVogue's clothes. After all, with the assets of the Andrews family, Hayes family, and Scott family amounting to tens of millions, Luxury items are hardly a concern for you."

Kathy's contempt was on the verge of boiling over. Joanna was seething with anger, while Norah remained as cool as a cucumber, which only served to heighten Kathy's anxiety.

"Listen up, last time Derek and I spotted Mr. Scott wining and dining with a lady at the Sky Restaurant. Do you know her, Miss Wilson? She's Amabel from the Morris clan, a hotshot business consultant working for a big-shot company abroad. They were giggling and chatting away Like old acquaintances!"

Madeline couldn't help but smirk, her eyes brimming with malice as she fixed a pointed gaze on Norah, hoping to witness her breakdown.

In Madeline's book, Norah had barely been with Sean for a month before Sean moved on to another woman. Surely Norah must be going through a rough time, right?

Jumping on the bandwagon, Kathy chimed in, "So, Norah, are you crashing at the Hayes family's house? Mr. Hayes doesn't mind that you just split with my brother and now Mr. Scott's given you the boot? Oh, the drama!"

Kathy and Madeline exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes betraying their unabashed delight in Norah's seemingly misfortune.

The salesperson from BelleVogue had been following Norah and Joanna since they walked in. Attempting to diffuse the tension, she approached them and said, "Ladies, do you need any help?"

Kathy shot back haughtily, "Who do you think you are? Did we ask for your damn assistance?”

The salesperson visibly paled, but persisted, “Ma'am, I'm just a salesperson here at BelleVogue. If you need anything, just let me know. ALL of you are valued customers. Let's not argue, please."

Madeline tugged at Kathy's arm. "Kathy, she didn't mean any provocation. Why start a fight?"
