Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 900: Nothing Left but Courage

Nora Northwood walked step by step towards the door, her palm already pressed against the handle. But then, as if remembering something, she withdrew. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

After hesitating for a few seconds, she returned to the bedroom.

...

In the following days, Jasper Sinclair no longer left work early to come home to be with his wife.

Working overtime until ten at night became a regular occurrence.

To avoid letting her mind wander with wild thoughts, Nora began finding ways to entertain herself and pass the time.

At a trendy hotspot, she ran into someone she very much did not want to see.

"Are you blind?" The sharp, piercing voice reached her ears.

Nora didn’t need to look closely to recognize Rachel Woodward. She thought bitterly: What a small world!

Faced with the woman who had wronged her many times, Nora chose to ignore her. Just as she was about to take a detour and leave, someone blocked her path.

"Nora, you bumped into someone and don’t even bother to apologize?"

"When you see someone bumping into you, wouldn’t you step aside? What do you think those two legs of yours are for?"

Rachel, not offended by the retort but rather amused, said with a laugh, "Looks like you’re hitting menopause early! Could it be that your cousin is fed up with you?"

Poking at the sore spot.

Nora restrained the impulse to slap her and said coldly, "If you have spare time, why not worry about yourself?"

At this moment, her mood had already plummeted to the worst.

Rachel continued to provoke her, "Pregnant and still out shopping alone, your husband doesn’t even care about you, yet you still want to have his child... tsk tsk."

Rachel gave Nora a condescending look, as if watching a fool.

Pregnancy hormones can affect a woman’s emotions, occasionally leading to uncontrolled behavior.

For instance: Nora actually raised her hand and slapped Rachel.

The clear slap sound "smack" drew most people’s attention. After the sound fell, she said with a smirk, "I told you to shut up, but you didn’t. If you say another word, I’ll beat your mouth bloody!"

Truth be told, Nora rarely shows her aggressive side in front of others.

Rachel had crossed her multiple times, more than one can count on two hands, but had never faced such retaliation before.

For a moment, the person who got hit stood there in shock.

Nora clapped her hands and walked away.

By the time Rachel snapped out of it, she was met with a warning stare from a bodyguard, as if telling her not to speak recklessly.

Getting slapped out of nowhere, it was infuriating beyond words!

Yet, she had no way to vent her anger.

After regaining her senses, Rachel stomped her feet twice and yelled madly at the onlookers, "What are you looking at? What’s so interesting!"

The passersby just assumed she was a lunatic, whispering to each other as they moved further away.

Her face only felt a burning pain, but it hadn’t gotten to the point of utter humiliation.

Rachel knew her situation better than anyone. Besides swallowing her pride, there was nothing she could do.

With the decline of the Woodward Family, and with both Mr. and Mrs. Woodward imprisoned, if not for her aunt’s assistance, she might have ended up begging on the streets.

The reason she mustered the courage to reappear in the public eye was entirely for revenge! Revenge against the couple who brought her to such a state!

When someone has nothing, all they have left is their raw courage.

That’s the state Rachel is in now.

She has nothing, so she fears nothing. She swore silently in her heart: She would definitely bring them to ruin! Let them feel a thousandfold the humiliation and scorn she had endured!
