Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Back for Her Revenge The man in black saved Nora and made a deal with her. She was required to eliminate Harriet when it was inconvenient for his boss to take action. She would be provided with everything, including money and connections.

Nora was desperate to get rid of Harriet, to begin with, and with the threat of the video on the ship and Happy Harpers looming over her, she had to agree.

But as soon as she returned home, a horde of reporters surrounded her.

Her face and body bore injuries inflicted by those traffickers. She didn’t want the reporters to see, and she dressed up to find Vernon.

That wretched Harriet had caused her immense pain. She wasn’t going to obey the man in black’s orders and dispose of Harriet so quickly.

Instead, she wanted to use Vernon’s hand to make Harriet thousand times more than she had suffered.

ta “What? Harriet refuses to answer your call?” Nora asked causal sipping her wine.

She sneered upon noticing the unpleasant expression on Verno face as Harriet continued to ignore him.

Vernon had no idea that Harriet had changed.

He still believed Harriet was the fool who mindlessly followed him, obedient to his every command.

“Maybe she’s caught in something,” Vernon replied, unable to accept that Harriet, who used to cling to him, now paid him no attention.

He glanced at Nora’s peculiar attire and snorted.

Even in the scorching heat, she covered herself so tightly. It was probably because she felt ashamed of herself after rejecting a mant who later became the president of Carlson Group.

Her foolish sister married in her place and became a rich lady. This fact must have injured her pride.

Although Vernon and Nora had once been close, their relationship was built on ulterior motives and mutual hatred.

Nora placed her wine glass down and sneered, “I don’t think so. Maybe Harriet simply has no interest in you anymore. After all, she’s now an esteemed lady. Would she fancy you, the illegitimate son of the Morton family?”

“Nora, watch your words!” Vernon’s face contorted, his teeth grinding together.

If they weren't in a public place, he would have hit the roof.

No one was allowed to mention his illegitimate status before him.

“Don’t get so worked up, Vernon. | came here today to discuss a collaboration with you. If it succeeds, I'll get what | want and you can shed your identity. How does that sound?” Nora said, unfazed by Vernon’s anger.

Though skeptical of Nora’s seemingly benevolent offer, Vernon managed to compose himself and listen intently.

Nora smirked, revealing her true intentions. As she explained her plan, realization dawned upon Vernon.

It turned out that Nora had fallen for Delbert.

Vernon wasn’t bothered since he didn’t hold much affection for Nora. He had only gotten close to her for the benefit of her status as the second daughter of the Munoz family.

Now Nora’s plan could indeed grant him his desires.

Why not take it?

“Alright, I'll cooperate with you,” Vernon agreed readily.

“Here’s to a fruitful partnership.”

Nora raised her wine glass toward Vernon.

As her smile curved, it took on a distorted reflection in the glass. Within that distortion, hints of conspiracy and calculation lingered, leaving an unsettling impression upon those who observed it.

Harriet could prepare for her downfall, elimination from the Carlson family, and universal disdain from everyone in Meawood City.
