Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Celebration Banquet
After going through so many things, Nora Northwood was already unsure of the truth in her words. After a while, she moved her lips slightly, "How much gambling debt have you racked up outside?"
May Lawrence heard her ask this, thinking she was going to give her money, immediately got excited.
"Not much, not much, only three hundred thousand."
Three hundred thousand... only!
Nora Northwood really couldn’t understand how a family with no source of income could dare to rack up such a massive gambling debt outside?
She took a deep breath, "Three hundred thousand, you could call the police."
"Consider it my debt to you, help us, really, it’s the last time."
Jasper Sinclair, seeing May Lawrence’s frantic appearance, was afraid she might harm Nora, so he immediately called his bodyguard, with an exceptionally cold face said, "Yates, get her out."
The lead bodyguard said nothing and directly picked her up from the ground.
May Lawrence was frail; how could she match someone professionally trained? Her feet barely touched the ground, struggling to maintain her balance.
"You, you, let me go," she screamed.
May Lawrence’s scream gradually faded away as the door closed.
Thus, this farce finally ended.
The security room returned to calm. Yvonne Winslow was hesitating how to comfort Nora Northwood. To her surprise, she had already adjusted her emotions and said with an unchanged expression, "I booked a private dining room nearby, to celebrate our big sales today, let’s tidy up and go eat."
Yvonne thought about it and said nothing, just nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Then she left in high heels.
Before leaving, she gave a meaningful glance to the security guard standing dumbfounded at the door.
After everyone left, Nora Northwood’s shoulders visibly slumped.
She buried her face in Jasper Sinclair’s chest, her fists clenched tightly.
Jasper Sinclair raised his arms gently around her shoulders, worried that her makeup might smudge.
Thus, they maintained a somewhat strange posture.
No one knew how much time had passed, but the trembling shoulders in his embrace finally stopped.
When Nora Northwood looked up again, her eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
Seeing her like this, Jasper Sinclair felt as if a huge stone weighed on his heart, crushing and leaving him breathless.
Thus, he couldn’t help but ask, "Do you need my help?"
Jasper Sinclair stared at Nora Northwood, trying to get some information from her eyes.
Unfortunately, Nora remained as resolute as ever in her answer.
"This time, I’ll handle it quickly."
Private dining room.
Lily Sloan stepped in and immediately hugged Nora Northwood’s arm, "Nora, I’ve wanted to come here for so long, I knew you’d treat me the best."
The staff arrived and led them to a private room on the fourth floor.
Nora Northwood was puzzled; she seemed to remember not booking this level of service. The staff explained, "President Sinclair is a platinum member here, he upgraded the room for you."
As soon as the words fell, the other four girls immediately gave her ambiguous looks.
Nora Northwood chuckled and took out her phone to send a message to Jasper Sinclair.
"Thank you."
Megan Underwood said with a hint of gossip, "I’ve known President Sinclair for years, it’s the first time I’ve seen him care so much about someone. Nora, you’re really lucky."
"It’s a kind of fate between us."
Nora Northwood was too embarrassed to reveal the truth about their marriage.
Lily Sloan understood the meaning in her expression and shifted the topic, "Why isn’t your man joining us for dinner?"
"He has some work-related issues to handle."
That day, Nora Northwood encountered an uninvited guest at the restaurant. She instinctively retreated, but the other party relentlessly approached.
"Mrs. Sinclair, I heard VK’s new product launch was quite successful," Rachel Woodward said. Her arm was still in a cast, but it didn’t hinder her movements.
