Chapter 251 – The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Now, he wanted to use this matter to have the right to speak in the refinery!

She took a deep breath. “Okay!”

Sheril thought about it very clearly. Last time, Nora had helped her slap Rachel’s face at the ball. She had to protect her no matter what.

When her master heard this, his expression changed. “You, how can you be so stubborn?!”

He was old, so what was the use even if he had the right to speak at the refining factory? All of his concern was only the Andersons.

Those words earlier were just to make Sheril hesitate, but this girl did not hesitate at all. She was too disappointing!

He reached out in anger, about to say something, but he coughed violently.

Sheril hurriedly took a step forward and held his arm. “Master, I know you despise me for being your superior. If you want the power to speak, I’ll return it to you!”

Her master said with heartache, “Why do I need the right to speak? How many years can I stay in the pharmaceutical factory? I should have retired long ago!”

When Sheril heard this, she realized that she had misunderstood her master. Her heart ached even more. “Master, I’m sorry…”

The old pharmacist pounded his chest. “Sheril, you’re too naive. Do you think my heart really aches for the 500-year-old ginseng? My heart aches for the Andersons’ foundation!”

“Our pharmaceutical factory can work with confidence if this ginseng stays here! You, you guys are such a waste!”

The old pharmacist stomped his feet in anger.

Sheril’s eyes turned red as well. “Master, Sister Nora’s Carefree Pill can be considered as saving Carefree Pill’s life. Even if we lose this ginseng, we’ll look for more. In the future, if we have money, we can buy it at a high price at the auction.”

When the old pharmacist saw that she was still stubbornly protecting Nora, he instantly waved his hand in anger. “Alright, alright. I’ll sit here and see how she wastes the ginseng!”

Sheril looked at his pained expression and sighed.

She knew that some things were very important to the elders. Those concepts had already been ingrained in her bones and could not be changed.

She sighed and sat beside the old pharmacist. “I’ll watch with you…”

In the laboratory, Nora did not know about the argument outside. At this moment, she was looking at the medicine. Actually, when she was overseas, it was a little difficult to refine pills. After all, there were fewer traditional medicines available overseas.

She held the 500-year-old ginseng and sighed silently.

This ginseng was too small.

If she had known earlier, she would have gone to her master, Dr. Zabe, to get some more ginseng. As an imperial physician, Dr. Zabe did not have many other things, but he still had some ginseng.

She shook her head slightly and cut the ginseng into pieces.

When they saw her cut it off so casually, Sheril and the old pharmacist outside felt their hearts ache.

The old pharmacist nagged. “Look, how is she cutting the ginseng? It’s too wasteful, too wasteful! Sheril, go in and see if you can pick up some ginseng roots. They’re still useful!”

Sheril: “…”

At the Smiths.

Ian was still staying in the VIP ward of the hospital. He had already been transferred out of the ICU and was not worried about his life for the time being.

At home, his adopted daughter, Yvonne, who was also the only girl in the Smiths’ generation, was playing the violin. After the song ended, Rachel, who was standing beside her, instantly applauded. “Miss Smith’s piano skills are really getting better and better!”

Ever since Miranda’s maiden family had almost gone bankrupt, her status in the Woods had been even lower. This led to her constantly being reprimanded by her father at home. Furthermore, she was always forced to go to the Andersons and learn from her aunt, Melissa.

But how could she possibly go over there? Therefore, she could only run toward the Smiths now.

Yvonne was a famous daughter of a wealthy family in New York. She was talented, and when she was with Yvonne, her father would not scold her even if he found out.

When Yvonne heard her words, she lowered her eyes and smiled. “Did you fight with your father again?”

Rachel pursed her lips. “Yeah. He keeps criticizing me for everything. He wants me to change this and that. Isn’t it because he thinks Sheril is too good? How can Auntie’s daughter be better than me? No matter how strong she is, she’s only working in the Andersons’ pharmaceutical factory. She doesn’t behave like a girl at all!”

Yvonne tidied her long hair and smiled. “Fathers love their daughters the most. Can’t you just wheedle your way?”

However, Rachel pursed her lips. “That’s someone else. I seriously suspect that I’m not my father’s biological child. Otherwise, why would he be so strict with me? How can my biological father always pick on me!”

The words “biological” pierced Yvonne’s heart like a needle.

She lowered her eyes to hide her displeasure. She still had a friendly smile on her face as a light flashed across her eyes. Suddenly, she said, “Stop talking nonsense. By the way, I heard that the last dance was not very enjoyable?”

At the mention of the dance, Rachel instantly became furious. “Isn’t it because of that country bumpkin who came back from the countryside? I didn’t expect her to dance well, but unfortunately, no one has come to propose marriage to her yet. Did you know? Her mother fooled around outside and was pregnant before she was even married. She made such a big scene just to attract attention and find a good family. But how could they possibly like her?”

She was about to continue when the butler walked in. “Miss Smith, the Levins are here.”

The Levins?

While Rachel was in a daze, Yvonne had already stood up with a smile. “Please come in.”

Then, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked in.

She looked ordinary. Her face was fair and tender, and she was chubby. When she smiled, she looked very likable.

Rachel asked, “This is?”

Yvonne explained, “Her mother-in-law is Mrs. Hunt’s current housekeeper, Mdm. Lea.”

The most famous people in the Hunts, apart from Justin and a few members of the main family, were the Hunts’ internal and external butlers.

The butlers of such families were raised with them from a young age. They were very loyal and reliable.

Now, Mdm. Lea’s family was also working in a company under Hunt Corporation and was treated very well.

But why was Mdm. Lea’s daughter-in-law, whom everyone called Mrs. Lewis, at the Smiths?

While Rachel was in a daze, that person had already walked over. “Miss Smith, I just came over for a little chat today. Please excuse my intrusion.”

With that, Mrs. Lewis sized Yvonne up.

Yvonne sat up straight and placed her hands casually on her lap. She looked like a daughter of a wealthy family and was very appropriate. Mrs. Lewis praised her in her heart and said jokingly, “By the way, my mother-in-law said that she heard a joke at home a few days ago. Our Mr. Hunt actually found a girlfriend outside…”

Yvonne’s expression froze at those words, but her expression remained calm.

Rachel was stunned. “Who is it?”

Was there really a woman in New York that Justin liked? Did she know her?

Mrs. Lewis was not angry when she saw Rachel interrupting. She continued to smile, and answered, “It’s the daughter of the Andersons, Nora.”

Rachel: “??”

Her eyes narrowed as she shouted, “Impossible!”

Her intense reaction covered Yvonne’s clenched fists. Mrs. Lewis looked at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

What could they do?

Yvonne seemed to have thought of something and said with a calm expression, “This is the person you were talking about earlier, the one who stole the limelight at the ball, right?”

Rachel: “??”

She felt as if she had been slapped hard as her cheeks heated up.

They had just said that even if she was in the limelight, no one wanted her. Even now, no one had come to propose marriage. But how did she suddenly find such a powerful boyfriend?

Impossible!

Mrs. Lewis was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Obviously, she did not know.

Yvonne didn’t want to leave an impression of her saying bad things behind her back, so she smiled helplessly. “It’s nothing. I’m just saying that this lady danced well.”

After hearing the praise for Nora, Rachel was indeed angered. “What? Miss Smith, even if you don’t talk about her behind her back, you can’t leave such a wrong impression on the Hunts. Mrs. Lewis, let me tell you. Nora is someone who hates marriage! After she was picked up by the Andersons from a small place, she found an opportunity to sneak into this year’s ball. Did you know? In order to show off her dancing skills and surprise everyone, she even danced men’s steps! Everyone knows about this! She’s simply trying her best to be in the limelight. She’s doing this so that she can quickly find a man to marry! Did you misunderstand something? How can Mr. Hunt like someone like her?”

Mrs. Lewis did not expect to hear such words. She immediately said excitedly, “Is that so? Miss Wood, hurry up and tell me the details…”

Rachel began to add fuel to the fire. She told them what had happened that day, omitting her coercion and Sheril’s grievances, of course. She created an image of a woman who loved to show off.

Hearing those words, Yvonne slowly picked up her coffee cup and drank with a faint smile.

After Rachel finished speaking, she said, “Alright, Miss Wood. Don’t talk about others behind their backs.”

Rachel pouted.

Mrs. Lewis seemed to be in deep thought. She did not expect this to happen. Therefore, words like Mr. Hunt had yet to win over Nora, and that Miss Smith didn’t take a liking to Mr. Hunt, were all fake! Nora was indeed playing hard to get!

Why did the smart Sir fall for her!

Mrs. Lewis was a little anxious. She had to hurry back and tell this news to her mother-in-law before she told Mrs. Hunt.

However, no matter how anxious she was, she did not forget her mission today. After smiling at Rachel, she looked at Yvonne. “Miss Smith, my mother-in-law asked me to tell you to treasure the opportunity at the birthday banquet.”

Her words made Yvonne blush.

She lowered her head and said awkwardly, “But didn’t you say earlier that Mr. Hunt already has a girlfriend…”

The Hunts and the Smiths were both interested in a marriage alliance. After all, although the Smiths and the Hunts had competed in the past, the times were different now. A marriage alliance obviously had more benefits.

This was also one of the important reasons why Ian had adopted Yvonne.

The elders of the two families had tacitly agreed.

When Mrs. Lewis heard this, she patted Yvonne’s hand. “Sigh, their relationship isn’t confirmed yet. Who in New York knows about it? Besides, she’s just a girlfriend now… You should prepare yourself properly! This is a rare opportunity. Besides, even if it’s not Sir, you should find someone…”

Although there was a ball every year in New York, it was always a gathering of youngsters.

This time, Mrs. Hunt was suddenly holding a big birthday party. The elders of each family would definitely be attending as well. It was the largest party in recent years.

If she could shine at this banquet, she would definitely amaze everyone.

Yvonne lowered her head, her ears turning red. In the end, she nodded.

After Mrs. Lewis left, Rachel leaned over to Yvonne. “Miss Smith, is this the Hunts’ intention?”

Yvonne smiled without saying anything.

Rachel immediately shook her arm. “You must work hard. You must not let that Nora really become Mrs. Hunt! Her family background is so bad. How can she compare to you? You’re the eldest daughter of the Smiths!”

Yvonne sighed. “I’m not the real Eldest Miss.”

“So what?”
