Chapter: 42

"Derek, Norah doesn't deserve our kindness. We've been so good to her, but she treats us poorly and gets involved with Mr. Scott. Maybe they've been seeing each other for a while!" Madeline snuggled into his embrace, unable to conceal the jealousy shining in her eyes.

Madeline knew Derek hadn't let go of Norah yet. Otherwise, he would have said yes to her request. She hadn't done everything she needed to. She had to break Derek's obsession with Norah. She had indeed underestimated Norah.

Remembering Norah from the racetrack, Madeline clenched her teeth in frustration and jealousy. Why did that woman have to be that impressive? Norah had held the top spot on the list for years.

Derek, holding Madeline's hand, vowed, “Madeline, I'll ensure you have everything you desire. As for the villa, my grandmother insists it belongs to Norah."

“Well, perhaps the hilltop villa might suffice..." Madeline conceded, masking her envy and bitterness.

Meanwhile, Norah had been tending to Devonte for over two hours, and her hands trembled slightly at the end.

Devonte had so many illnesses. She had to tackle the most pressing ones, which took a long time. She broke a sweat.

As Kason entered the room, he found Norah had completed her treatment, and Devonte was now resting comfortably, a peaceful look on his face.

He softened his tone and quietly said, "Miss Wilson, please follow me."

Upon entering the living room, Norah noticed Kason's thoughtful preparation. The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes.

“I wasn't sure about your dietary preferences," he admitted.

A servant promptly offered Norah a seat at the table. All the staff in this villa was responsible for Devonte's care.

Norah took her seat and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Hayes."

With the meal ready, Kason asked the servants to leave them to their privacy, ensuring a quiet dining experience for just the two of them.

"Please be at ease, Miss Wilson. The staff won't interrupt us unless I call for them," Kason assured her, his posture reflecting his military discipline.

Just as Norah was about to remove her mask to eat, a young man's voice came from the door. “Kason, I came to see how great-grandpa is doing."

A young man walked into the living room. “I heard you've tracked down the Supernatural Doctor. Is that right? When will she come? How is great-grandpa today?"

The young man was quite talkative. He had spoken a lot before coming over.

Spotting Norah dressed in black at the table, he promptly said to Kason, "Oh, you've got company. I was just wondering why the servants were all hanging around outside."

Norah recognized the young man. He was Kaiden Hayes, a close friend of Spencer. The two of them visited Glamour Club together every day.

Kaiden was still young. If Norah recalled correctly, he was a freshman this year. Word had it, he was a bit of a player, always up for a good time.

Upon spotting Norah, Kaiden inquired with a hint of speculation, "Could this be... Your girlfriend?"

Kason's expression quickly turned stern. "This is our guest. Please offer your apologies," he instructed.

Kaiden, undeterred and wearing a broad grin, took a seat opposite Norah, teasing, "So, is she really not your girlfriend, Kason? It's unusual to see you bring a woman home."
