Chapter: 95

Joanna applauded and said, "Well said, Mr. Hayes!"

Norah lowered her eyes, remaining silent.

Derek's expression soured. Facing Kason's critique regarding the Carter family's lack of discipline was a bitter pill to swallow.

"This is a family affair. Allow me to remind you that you don't have the right to judge on this, Mr. Hayes," Derek said, attempting to uphold Kathy's dignity in front of others.

Kason looked at Norah and said, "You're right. While the Carter family's dynamics don't interest me, Miss Wilson is my friend. My remarks were merely in passing."

When Kason revealed his friendship with Norah, the three of the Carter family were taken aback. They hadn't pictured Norah and Kason knowing each other.

Since Kason had returned and taken charge of the Hayes family not long before, he hadn't mingled with the other notable families. The link between Norah, known to be an illegitimate child, and Kason baffled them.

Madeline's left hand was balled into a fist, yet her smile was soft.

"We've just learned about your friendship with Norah, Mr. Hayes. However, I must point out, given that Norah resides in Dreamview Villas, there's hardly any need for your keen interest in her."

From behind Madeline, Kathy added, "Norah seems to be catching the attention of quite a few men."

Joanna was known for her fiery temperament. Once, when Jordy had the nerve to upset Norah, she didn't think twice before smashing a beer bottle over his head, making him apologize.

Joanna was about to lash out at Kathy, but Norah caught her wrist to stop her. Moving ahead, Norah confidently said, "Yes, I do live in Dreamview Villas. Is that a problem? Maybe you're just envious?"

Kason was well-informed about Norah's background and aware of these details.

"Miss Powell, Miss Carter, perhaps you should focus on your own lives rather than interfering in others'. As far as I know, Norah is no longer Mrs. Carter, having divorced Mr. Carter. Thus, her personal matters are of no concern to you," Kason calmly stated.

Derek, annoyed, retorted, “Norah and I haven't officially completed our divorce proceedings. Legally, we're still married. So, why shouldn't I be involved in her affairs?"

"It seems you acknowledge that the divorce proceedings are ongoing, Mr. Carter." A chilly voice cut through the tension.

Their attention shifted to the entrance of the Glamour Club, where a tall, authoritative figure stood, bathed in the glow of neon lights, exuding danger and allure in equal measure.

"Mr. Scott," Kason was the first to acknowledge Sean.

Derek wanted to greet Sean, but the memory of their last unpleasant encounter at the Krusa Mountain Racing held him back.

Norah gave Sean a nod.

With a voice deep and captivating, Sean said, "Knowing that the divorce hasn't been finalized, why prolong it and even escalate matters to court? Mr. Carter, don't you see how this has become a joke in Glophia?"

Sean's gaze landed on Derek before subtly shifting to Norah, who stood quietly by Joanna's side.

Derek was silent. He couldn't figure out why he had such rotten luck today, bumping into Norah at Glamour Club and running into Kason and Sean, who appeared to have taken an interest in his private life.

Derek had never thought Norah, the woman he considered compliant, would be acquainted with such influential people.
