Chapter: 936

The Boyd Manor was comparatively smaller than the Wilson Manor. Norah had been keenly observing it from the moment she entered through the gate.

But anyway, constructing such a picturesque Landscape with ponds and greenery required considerable time and effort.

Illuminated by solar-powered street lights, one could discern numerous buildings within the manor.

The venue for the charity party was grander, featuring an expansive open hall on the ground floor embellished with long dining tables, elaborate champagne towers, and an assortment of desserts and dishes.

Attendees included accomplished businessmen, renowned celebrities from the showbiz, and their respective families.

The gathering comprised elegant ladies, playful and energetic children, as well as charming and innocent young girls.

Observing Sean converse with Jarrod, Norah acknowledged Jarrod with a nod when their eyes met.

Norah had heard that the charity dinner invitations were courtesy of Jarrod. Norah considered Jarrod a friendly acquaintance based on their recent interactions.

Scanning the surroundings, she didn't spot any familiar faces.

Norah approached the table, grabbed a plate, and selected two kinds of desserts.

She had come here right after work, having only eaten an apple en route. The sight of the delectable cakes tempted her, eliciting a longing reaction.

Using a fork, she sampled a piece of cake, savoring its flavors. The creamy sweetness tantalized her taste buds, prompting her to squint in delight. Indulging in sweet treats brought great joy to her “Hey, bumpkin, where do you hail from? Have you never tasted tiramisu?

Haha, she seems to relish it as if it were a delicacy."

Another woman remarked mockingly, observing Norah's enjoyment of the dessert. “Haha, it's just tiramisu. Is there a need to overreact?"

Another girl chimed in, amused by the situation. "Perhaps she's a country pumpkin. Such delicacies are likely a novelty to her," the woman girl speculated, joining in the banter.

Norah perceived disdainful sneers directed at her. She glanced around and noticed three elegantly attired young ladies standing nearby, having appeared there during her brief lapse of attention.

They appeared youthful, likely in their early twenties.

The young woman in the red evening gown, adorned with a ruby necklace, exuded arrogance from her attractive visage.

Two ladies behind her appeared to be accompanying her as followers.

The young woman in red met Norah's gaze without hesitation, displaying surprise in her eyes.

"You're attractive, but your conduct is lacking. Are you a recent celebrity in the showbiz?"

Despite her years in Silverdale, the young woman had never encountered such beauty, leading to her subtly sarcastic comment.

When Norah looked at her with cold eyes, she immediately regretted praising Norah's beauty.

Norah disregarded her and focused on enjoying her dessert.
