Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The 500,000 Yuan Hairpin
After leaving the banquet venue, Nora did not go home; instead, she went straight to the florist.
From now on, nothing is more important than making money. Once she saves enough, she can separate from Mr. Sinclair.
Since the sachet was selling well, various major brands were seeking collaboration with her. Originally, she wanted to use these brands to establish her reputation, but ultimately, she restrained herself.
She wanted to create her own brand and couldn’t continue living under someone else’s wing.
"Such a good opportunity, Nora, are you really giving it up?" Lily was somewhat regretting for her.
"There’s nothing to be regretful about. Our products are not inferior. Creating our own brand in the right direction is more suitable than relying on these big brands."
Lily nodded, agreeing.
Nora had previously made a stunning impression during the assessment by Master Elaine, even gaining admiration from her.
As they were talking, someone delivered a gift box at the door.
"Ms. Northwood, this is from Mr. Morgan, as an apology for what happened today."
The man spoke formally but looked at Nora with a hint of interest in his eyes.
This woman left without knowing the ensuing developments; it’s surprising that the Morgan family’s young master got so furious for the first time over a woman, whether a lover or a friend, it was enough to astonish them.
"I’m sorry, I can’t accept this gift. Please take it back." Nora frowned.
Although what happened today, she and Vincent Morgan apparently weren’t at that stage in their relationship.
The man apologized, "Sorry, we are only responsible for delivering items to guests. Sorry for the disturbance."
After that, the man left.
After he left, Nora felt upset, looking at the brocade box in her hands, unsure how to handle it at the moment.
Lily was curious about what was inside, and after gaining Nora’s consent, she opened the brocade box.
"Oh my, it’s the Glazed Cyan Jade Phoenix Hairpin!" She gasped.
Although the Sloan family wasn’t immensely wealthy, they lived comfortably, so Lily was somewhat knowledgeable about these luxury items.
This hairpin wasn’t considered pricey because of its design.
It’s because this hairpin is entirely handcrafted, including the phoenix on it, making this single hairpin worth five hundred thousand.
What kind of man would be so generous, but she was more curious about what kind of incident necessitated such an apology
"Is this very expensive?" Nora was somewhat confused as she didn’t understand; to her, it merely looked nice.
Lily looked very serious. She couldn’t help but talk to her friend about it.
After half an hour, Nora finally understood what kind of gift she had received.
Her expression turned somewhat grim. This item absolutely could not be retained; not to mention the apology gift was far too excessive, even if it were needed, she wouldn’t accept it. In time, if that woman goes crazy, she herself might not see better days.
However, Nora didn’t know that by now, Yuna Hughes had already heard about this.
Unconsciously, she thought of the mysterious woman she encountered at the entrance that day and what she had said to her.
Ruin Nora Northwood?
That woman whispered chilling words in her ear on that day: "If you ruin her purity, even if she’s married, who would want a promiscuous woman like her."
She knew it was wrong, but she couldn’t control herself. This thought frequently overshadowed her reasoning.
"Nora Northwood, you’re forcing my hand here."
Her expression turned cold, as if she had made a massive decision. After a moment, she dialed a number on her phone: "Hello."
