Chapter: 320

When Derek divorced Norah, he claimed their marriage was mutually beneficial. And he was right. All Corrin sought was business advancement. He was only after benefits.

Casting a glance at the delicate and charming Norah, Samira remarked, "You seem to be doing well after the divorce. Why never come home to see us?"

Luna chimed in, “She's befriended people of higher social standing.

Why would she concern herself with the Wilsons? Besides, I had to invite her to this banquet personally!"

Luna placed emphasis on the word “invite.”

"Norah is now a doctor at Silver Boulder Private Hospital. I've heard she's quite accomplished. She even claimed my daughter had Lung issues with a glance, kindly urging me to have doctors check on Shayla." The irony in Luna's words was evident to everyone present.

“It was merely a suggestion. Whether you choose to heed it is up to you." Norah lowered her head, casting her gaze upon the round-faced Shayla. Shayla offered a forced smile and addressed Norah as “Auntie.”

Corrin's expression darkened. "Since Luna had extended the invitation, you may enter."

The Wilson family was well aware of Norah's background. To them, Norah was merely a solitary woman of mysterious origins. When the Wilson family faced peril, Norah seized the opportunity and married into the Carter family under the guise of being a member of the Wilson family. They sought benefits, while Norah sought marriage with Derek. It could be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Following Norah's divorce, the Wilson family never considered reaching out to Norah. They view it unworthy maintaining a connection with Norah.

Corrin's demeanor turned icy as he contemplated this. Yet upon realizing Norah's potential business utility, his demeanor softened slightly.

Norah understood Corrin's character well. She attended this banquet merely for the sake of their previous cooperation on her marriage to Derek as a so-called member of the Wilson family. She was someone who possessed a clear understanding of gratitude and resentment.

Norah knew precisely when to express gratitude and when to seek revenge.

Luna was poised to deliver a more sarcastic remark when a sharp female voice sounded behind Norah. It was Sharon. "Norah, do you still consider yourself part of the Wilson family?"

Norah frowned and turned to see Sharon and Kathy approaching. They were adorned in elegant attire, exuding an air of allure.

Kathy appeared arrogant, seemingly unrepentant from the lesson. She was still this irritating.

Sharon strode over with Kathy, saying, "Norah, I was surprised to see you here. I had assumed you had cut ties with the Wilson family.

After all, you didn't return to the Wilson family's residence post- divorce. So, what brings you here?"

Kathy stifled a laugh. “Oh, mom. Despite the rumor of her illegitimacy, Norah was a Wilson. However, I had to admit her lack of contact with the Wilson family baffled me."

Right then, Luna approached, holding Shayla's hand. “Mrs. Carter, Miss Carter."

"You shameless woman! Keep your distance from Kathy and me!" Spotting Luna's approach, Sharon and Kathy hastily retreated, their expressions contorted with disgust, causing Luna's smile to falter.

Samira couldn't bear to witness her daughter's mistreatment. "Mrs. Carter, you're here for my husband's birthday celebration. Please show respect to my daughter."

"Do you think we're willing to attend? Don't flatter yourself!"

Sharon retorted rudely, "None of your daughters is decent. Luna had a premarital affair, and Norah was an illegitimate child. If it weren't for my desire to witness your family's misery, I wouldn't have bothered coming!"
