Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 150:

Corrin felt a surge of excitement at Sharon's revelation. Norah held two-thirds of the Carter family’s wealth, and

if she allowed a portion of it to be redirected to the Wilson family, it could significantly contribute to their growth.

“Samira and | learned about Norah's divorce and were concerned about her well-being. We wanted to spend

stwith her to comfort her. But simple expressions of concern might not be enough,” Corrin quickly

altered his demeanor, approaching Norah with apparent concern. “My birthday banquet is the perfect chance to

bring her in for a reunion. Norah, cinside. Your mom and | are busy with the guests, but we can catch up

later.”

Norah easily perceived that Corrin’s kindness was motivated by the Carter family’s wealth in her possession.

Kathy couldn’t bear witnessing Norah being treated so well. Norah not only possessed considerable wealth, but

she also shared connections with Sean and the Scott family.

Corrin’s excitement was palpable, and his breath momentarily caught. He mused, “Could there be something

between Norah and Sean? Is there a genuine connection? If we can establish ties with the Scott family, the

Wilson family’s growth would be assured.”

Rubbing his hands in excitement, Corrin addressed Norah, “Let Luna take you inside first. We can talk later.” He

completely disregarded Sharon and Kathy standing beside him.

Meanwhile, Kathy sent a message to Derek before putting away her phone and turning to Sharon. “Mom, now

that we're here, let's go inside and have a look.” Sharon retrieved a small box from her bag and presented it to

Samira. “Here's the birthday gift from the Carter family. We certainly don’t want any rumors about our lack of

etiquette.”

Samira accepted it with a sour expression. “Thank you, Mrs. Carter.” Once everyone was inside, Samira

discreetly opened the box, revealing a mediocre jade pendant. She promptly shut the box, approached Corrin,

and clenched her teeth. “She presents this rubbish with such disdain. Who does she think she is?” The pendant

was petite, likely valued at less than twenty thousand.

Corrin examined it briefly, but his attention was focused on Sharon and Kathy. “Whoever has the gold makes the

rules. Let them be cocky for now. Once our family thrives, we’ll make them pay.” He etched the humiliations

endured over the years deep into his heart, anticipating the opportunity to retaliate step by step.

“Norah is tired. We simply need to pacify her and persuade her to keep supporting the Wilson family. As someone

without close family ties, what she desires most is affection. A few kind words might instill belief in her,” he

suggested.

Samira nodded. “Got it. I'm confident in handling Norah.” To Samira, Norah was simply an orphan who had

stumbled upon a fantastic opportunity and gained wealth. It was all owed to the opportunities they facilitated.

“If Luna hadn't been pregnant with another man’s child at that time, Norah, an outsider, wouldn't have had the

opportunity to marry Derek, let alone relish wealth and luxury.”

Luna and Norah strolled together, with Luna holding Shayla’s hand. The well-mannered Shayla, obediently

walking, was crying, causing scommotion as they moved along.

“I didn’t anticipate you having snicks and managing to secure a share from the Carter family,” Luna

couldn't resist mocking.

After Norah married Derek, Luna had inquired about Norah's situation. The knowledge of Norah's mistreatment

and the humiliation she suffered from Sharon and Kathy left Luna feeling lucky that she hadn’t married Derek.

Derek, bedridden after the car accident, was essentially a vegetable. Without Derek stepping up for her, Norah's

married life had been far from pleasant and only worsened with Kathy and Sharon’s constant mocking and

interference. Luna felt that Norah was a pushover.

Later, when Derek finally woke up from his coma, Luna had assumed that Norah's good days had begun, thinking

Derek would defend her. However, Norah's life remained unchanged, transitioning into Derek’s personal servant,

always at his side and remarkably obedient.

Based on this information, Luna genuinely believed Norah to be weak and submissive. Therefore, Sharon's

revelation about Norah claiming two-thirds of the Carter family’s assets shocked her.

Luna commented, “Sure enough, first love is unforgettable for men. When Madeline returned, Derek promptly

abandoned you. | did pity your life with the Carter family, but after discovering you divorced and acquired

substantial property, | suddenly didn’t find you as pitiable.”

Luna assumed Norah could remarry, but she knew wealth wasn’t easily acquired.

At the thought of this, Luna tightened her grip and declared, “Norah, it was the Wilson family that granted you

the opportunity to marry Derek. You should acknowledge that!”

Norah's red high heels cto a stop. She inclined her head slightly, appearing unfazed. “So, what exactly are

you trying to get at?”

Luna ground her teeth. “A portion of the Carter family’s property should be allocated to the Wilson family!”

Norah chuckled. “Keep dreaming. Think before you spout nonsense again. Do you really think that's feasible?”

Their previous encounter had been tense, with Luna demanding Norah return what was rightfully hers at the

hospital entrance. Now, Luna sought a share for the Wilson family.

“Do you think you deserve it?” Norah replied coldly. “But you do remindof my separation from the Wilson

family.” The claim that Norah was part of the Wilson family had only been valid when she married Derek. In

reality, she was never related to the Wilson family by blood.

Norah added, “I prefer not to dwell on what transpired two years ago, but if you persist in debating it, please

ensure your parents are present. After all, we reached that deal after discussions among us.”

Norah's nonchalant demeanor evidently infuriated Luna. She halted, facing Norah head-on. “The Wilson family

undeniably provided you with an opportunity. Without them, would you have attained all this? Wealth,

connections, and everything followed your marriage into the Carter family. My parents may not care, but that

doesn’t mean | won't. If the Carter family discovers you're not related to the Wilson family by blood, what

impression will they have of you?”

“Derek and | are divorced. I'm indifferent to the opinion of the Carter family regarding me,” Norah said with a

slight smirk. “The divorce agreement is signed, and | possess the divorce certificate. | have no ties to the Carter

family whatsoever. Regardless of my deal with your family back then, | doubt the Carter family will care.”

“You!” Luna's face turned red with fury.

In the hotel corridor, Luna, clad in a shiny silver dress, held her daughter, Shayla, with one hand, her eyes nearly

spitting fire. On the other hand, Norah exuded a determined aura in a bright red fishtail gown, emanating a

formidable presence. Bystanders couldn't resist stealing glances at the two women.

“Norah, you ought to know how to repay kindness!” Luna urged.

Norah brushed off Luna’s words with a wave of her hand. “This doesn't justify your moral coercion.”

“Since you married Derek, your relationship with the Wilson family has been closely intertwined!”

“That's absurd.”

As they conversed, Shayla observed their expressions, puzzled by the meaning of their exchange. One thing was

clear to her—her mom was upset.

Norah initially perceived that Luna’s mindset was slightly off during their first encounter. As she grew more

acquainted with Luna, she realized that Luna’s mental state was not merely slightly off. It was significantly

impaired. How else could Luna’s spouting of nonsense be explained?

Norah pondered how Luna’s parents had raised her.

Luna fell for a man’s charming words before marriage, becpregnant, and naively believed he treated her

well. Tsk, one could easily describe that as having a love-struck mind, couldn't they?
