Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
His words made Yvonne glance at where Nora was again. She suddenly lowered her head and asked, “How did Nora Smith manage to borrow the Blue Enchantress, Warren?”
Warren was chagrined at her question. He replied, “Justin must have done it. That’s the only way she could have borrowed the gown… If I had known, I would have asked Joel to do it instead!”
Yvonne bit her lip, and her eyes reddened.
Warren immediately asked, “What’s the matter?”
Yvonne lowered her head. “We ran into each other at the hall entrance just now… She said that I’m not a real Smith…”
Her words immediately misled Warren. He asked incredulously, “She mocked you just because of a dress? What makes her think she can mock you like that? Even an adopted daughter of the Smiths is better than her! The Andersons have already fallen into decline a long time ago. Besides, she isn’t even an Anderson because her last name is Smith… It’s so off-putting how we have the same last name.”
Yvonne didn’t speak.
Warren sneered, “It’s okay. Don’t worry, I’ve already taken revenge for you!”
Yvonne was startled. “What?”
A smiling Warren said, “Why do you think so many rich second-generation heirs dared to hit on her so blatantly at a party like this?”
Yvonne was dumbfounded. When she turned and looked over again, she saw a few more people gathering around Nora.
No matter what, it was too inappropriate for a woman to be surrounded by several men trying to woo her, especially when the things they said were so explicit—or at least, that was how everyone saw it.
She asked in surprise, “You’re the one behind it?”
Warren raised his chin triumphantly. “Well, not really. A whole group of people was attracted to her looks as soon as she came in. They were originally planning to ask about it discreetly, but I said that… she’s a socialite.”
Yvonne, “!!”
No wonder those men had the audacity to rush over so rudely!
Warren sneered, “They don’t know that she is Justin’s girlfriend. Neither can Justin acknowledge their relationship at an occasion like this, so he can only stew in silence and vent his anger on her now! Any man would be mad when their woman becomes involved with so many men in public, right?”
He raised his eyebrows. “Just wait and see. Mr. Hunt is definitely going over to deal with her. Who knows, he may even throw her out!”
Yvonne didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his words.. Yet, when she thought about it, it didn’t seem entirely impossible, either. Her eyes lit up a little and she looked over…
“What is Mr. Hunt doing, Ms. Smith? It doesn’t look like there’s anyone he’ll talk to over there, right?”
“Yeah…”
While Yvonne was watching, someone asked curiously,
“The people there are all young rich good-for-nothings totally different from Mr. Hunt. Why would he go there…?”
“Is it because he thinks their behavior is too inappropriate?”
“That must be it. What kind of place do they think this is? That group of good-for-nothings and that woman should look at where they are first before they hook up with one another! Mr. Hunt values his grandmother the most. He must have become angry!”
Nora was completely unaware that she had become the focus of the women’s discussion.
She merely watched the men swarming toward her and raised her eyebrows, feeling like something wasn’t quite right.
No matter how frivolous they were, they weren’t people who didn’t take time and place into consideration, so why were they doing this to her? Moreover, her belief was that she did have a rather powerful aura around her. Lily always said she was an impressive person, and just a glare from her was enough to scare Lily. When she was abroad, all the men had also kept their distance from her despite her good looks, so why would such a thing happen the moment she returned to the States?
She narrowed her eyes.
Next to her were also people trying to talk to her.
“Do you know who I am, Ms. Smith? If you have time, I think we can have a chat…”
“I met you first, Ms. Smith. Even if we are to line up to chat with you, shouldn’t I be the first?”
“Do you like Hermès, Ms. Smith? Shall I take you to Hermès for some shopping?”
“Hermès is so tacky! I have a villa in the suburbs. Shall I take you to visit it?”
Their speech became more and more explicit. Even Sheril and Melissa frowned when they heard them. Why did they look like rich young men lavishing attention on and flattering a famous courtesan?!
They were looking down on Nora too much!
Melissa reprimanded them. “Which families are you children from?! Stop fooling about!”
However, they instead laughed and said jokingly, “We aren’t fooling about. I meant what I said… You’re the Andersons, right? How about letting Ms. Smith have dinner with me so that we can discuss a partnership between our hospital and Harmonia Pharmacy?”
“Ms. Smith seemed unwell, so I wanted to help. Which part of what I’m doing looks like I’m fooling about…”
Sheril was so mad that even her cheeks had turned red. “All of you are too much! Nora doesn’t need your help! She doesn’t even want to pay any attention to any of you at all, so please step aside! We are going to rest!”
“You’re not the one who decides whether your cousin Nora wants to pay any attention to us or not. It only counts if she says it…”
“That’s right. Ms. Smith, although you already have a child, I don’t mind at all. After all, young but mature women are more charming…”
“…”
The look in Nora’s eyes turned cold, and anger roiled in her cat-like eyes.
If it weren’t because this was Mrs. Hunt’s birthday party, she would have beat them up a long time ago, yet they were actually pushing their luck this far?
In that case, they couldn’t blame her for what came next.
She lowered her head and flexed her wrists. Then, she said to the masked Cherry, “Go to the side.”
Her four words alone made Cherry step back in silence. She hid behind Melissa with practiced movements and hugged her leg.
“Don’t be scared, Cherry…” said Melissa.
Cherry replied in her adorable voice, “I’m not scared, Grand-Aunt. I just think it’s so pitiful…”
Melissa’s eyes reddened. “It’s okay, your mother is not pitiful. She still has us, we won’t let anyone bully or humiliate her!”
Cherry: “?”
She blinked her big dark eyes and said, “What I meant was that those people are so pitiful. To think they are blind enough to offend Mommy. Mommy is really angry now, and the consequences are serious when that happens!”
Melissa: “?”
As soon as she said that, a shadow flashed across in front of her.
Nora had already suddenly thrown a punch at the face of the man closest to her, who was also the one who had said the most awful things out of the lot!
Melissa: “!!”
Sheril was also dumbfounded.
The man who had been punched was even more dumbstruck. He had never expected the other party to suddenly attack while they were still talking.
However, just as Nora’s fist was about to connect with the man’s face, a large and strong hand suddenly reached over and grabbed her fist, stopping her movements.
The very next moment, a low and deep voice reached them. “You’re not allowed to hit him.”
That voice…
Everyone turned their heads in unison to see Justin standing beside Nora. He was holding Nora’s hand, thereby stopping her actions.
Everyone: “??”
Everyone in the entire party hall looked over.
The man who had almost been hit immediately said, “It’s fortunate that you came here in time, Mr. Hunt. Otherwise, I would have been beaten up! How can a great beauty like you hit someone?”
The others also echoed him.
“Yeah, what kind of occasion do you think this is? How can you hit him?”
“All he did was say a few words. Aren’t you being too crass if you get violent?!”
“That woman is too savage, Mr. Hunt! Her behavior is outrageous!”
In the distance.
Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.
As expected, Justin had become angry.
