Chapter 233: Chapter 233: May Lawrence Imprisoned
At the end of October, May Lawrence was handcuffed.
Before going to prison, Nora Northwood glanced at her from afar and was noticed by her.
She screamed like mad, "Nora, talk to me a little more, Nora Northwood!"
Nora, as if driven by a supernatural force, approached, while Jasper Sinclair, worried that May might act excessively, followed along.
The girl’s expression revealed a hint of mischief as she asked, "What do you want to say?"
Up until now, Nora didn’t know what there was left to say between the two of them.
May mentioned Quentin Ford’s name, "Your Uncle Ford owes a lot of gambling debt outside. Now, debt collectors come to the door every day, and he doesn’t know where to hide. When you have time, please let him know about my situation."
"Got it."
Nora’s mind was simple, but Jasper could read May’s meaning, merely reminding them there’s still a loose end.
Some people seem weak and easy to bully on the surface, but in reality, they’re more cunning than anyone else.
Then, May was taken away.
Nora lowered her head and took a piece of candy out of her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.
She glanced at her wristwatch; it was already close to one o’clock in the afternoon.
Jasper asked her, "To the studio or back to Southwood Court?"
"The studio, I have an appointment with the spa manager this afternoon to look at samples."
"Alright."
Jasper sensed Nora’s low mood but wasn’t sure what words to use to comfort her.
Thus, the journey was silent.
Nora gazed at the scenery outside the window as scenes from the past uncontrollably flooded her mind.
Living with May for tens of thousands of days and nights, although she was extremely disappointed with this so-called "mother," thinking of the past days still made her somewhat emotional.
Jasper noticed the red bloodshot in her eyes, feeling somewhat helpless. After a moment of thought, he spoke, "The past is already behind us, don’t think too much about it. I’ll come pick you up after it ends and take you somewhere tonight."
His gentle tone was like comforting a child.
Nora nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Then, Jasper reached out and pinched her cheek gently, soft and warm.
Afterward, the two parted ways.
Jasper watched as Nora’s figure entered the studio, only then did he leave with peace of mind.
He made a phone call, "Louis Hayes, check Quentin Ford’s location."
With May in, he certainly wouldn’t let Quentin off the hook. Anyone who harmed Nora must pay the price.
VK.
Meeting room.
Manager Morton and Nora sat facing each other, while Yvonne Winslow and Annie also arrived on time.
"Miss Northwood, for the safety of our customers, I represent the company in hiring a professional to evaluate the samples."
To be honest, Manager Morton’s action was quite impolite.
While everyone made micro-expressions, only Nora smiled and agreed, "Sure."
Manager Morton seemed to realize that his proposal was indeed a bit excessive, so he added, "Thank you very much for pointing out our issues with the aromatherapy. Having learned from past experiences, the company is placing special emphasis on this collaboration, so please understand."
"We are all in the service industry, naturally concerned about customer safety."
Thereafter, Nora went to the fragrance room to get the samples.
Worried about taking them out too early and making mistakes, she had left the aromatherapy in the fragrance room.
Yvonne chatted with Manager Morton, providing a detailed introduction to VK’s brand philosophy and features from a more professional perspective.
