Chapter 921 Norah's Warning
Norah went to the bathroom. As she stepped out, she saw Hadley standing nearby, arms crossed over her chest, watching her closely.
Norah slowly walked to the sink and began washing her hands. "What's up?"
Hadley approached and started washing her hands as well. "The Wilson family has a plan in place to deal with you. Don't let your guard down at the banquet."
Hadley lowered her head and pursed her lips. "I don't know the details of the plan." As a minor figure in the Wilson family, no one shared important information with her. Her husband had been sidelined by Iker because of company matters, and he was just as uninformed.
Norah turned off the tap and grabbed a tissue to dry her hands. "Thank you. I'll be careful."
She smirked slightly, intrigued what tricks they had up their sleeves.
She understood Hadley's situation and why she was trying to be friendly.
Norah had always shown kindness to those who were sensible, and what Hadley wanted was simple enough. It was something she could easily provide.
After delivering her warning, Hadley tumed to leave. She had followed Norah to the bathroom but couldn't
stay away from Hank for too long. "Wait!" Norah walked over to her and whispered in her ear, "Are you still in touch with Larry?"
Hadley's face tumed red. She quickly stepped back and stammered, "T-there is nothing improper between me and him. How... how did you know that?"
Larry and Hadley had once found solace in each other under the weight of Hank's and Elsa's dominance. Before their affair could go further, Hadley had thought of her young son and refused Larry's advances. No matter how poorly Hank treated her, having an affair was wrong.
Norah smiled reassuringly and patted Hadley's shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't say anything. You can go
back." Hadley left, fear gnawing at her. She had believed she'd hidden her secret well, even from her own family.
How could Norah, an outsider, have known?
The mention of it left Hadley trembling and fear gripped her tightly.
Norah watched Hadley's retreating figure with calm, calculating eyes. She had mentioned Larry for a reason to warm Hadley without saying too much.
At this moment, she glanced up at her reflection in the mirror and smiled to herself. In the ruthless Wilson family, there was still someone with feelings, even if they were few and far between. held high.
Norah smoothed her hair and walked out with her head As she emerged, Sean glanced at her and worriedly asked, "Why did it take you so long to go to the bathroom? Are you okay?"
"Everything's fine," Norah replied smoothly. "By the way, Sean, when things get chaotic later, I may not
have time to look out for you. But you don't have to worry about me." Even small distractions could lead to mistakes in crucial moments.
Sean nodded, his expression steady. "Don't worry. I'won't be a burden to you."
The party was grand, and nearly all the wealthy families and high-profile celebrities in Glophia were there. Even famous stars from the entertainment world were invited to add glamour to the event.
Of course, Matteo and Kayla were present with their adoptive daughter, Nancy. Kayla and Nancy were
inseparable, regardless of the occasion.
Susanna arrived alongside Phillip, while Sean was accompanied by his assistant, Frank.
Bryson, as usuala, had a female companion. Norah couldn't help but notice that his companion looked like some rising star in the entertainment industry. What caught Norah's attention the most was the man beside Joanna-Duncan.
Joanna blushed slightly under Norah's amused gaze and quickly explained, "My brother found a female companion, and I didn't want to be alone. Duncan happened to be free, so we decided to come together.”
