Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Need a Suitable Reason
"None of what you want is here; if he wants to stay, he has to understand the rules and obey."
"If you agree, your son can stay; if you don’t, then forget it."
Jasper Sinclair shrugged as he spoke, while Nora Northwood was stunned. Was she really going to let Spencer Ford stay?
He gave her a calming look, then stared at Quentin Ford, who was sitting across from him.
Time ticked away slowly, and after hesitating for a long while, Quentin Ford finally nodded in agreement.
Well, a wise man knows when to retreat.
"Alright, let’s do as you say." Quentin gritted his teeth, making up his mind. It didn’t matter; now that he knew Jasper Sinclair’s identity, it would be easier to ask for money in the future.
With that, it was decided that May Lawrence and Spencer Ford would move in a couple of days later.
After they left, Nora was still unsure of the situation.
"Why are we letting them move in?" she asked hesitantly.
Nora knew what kind of person Spencer was, and she worried he might cause trouble for Jasper Sinclair once he moved in.
May Lawrence was someone who let Spencer do as he pleased.
What if something happened then? Just as she was about to say something, he pulled her into his arms.
He nestled against her neck, gently nuzzling her, as his hands began to misbehave, prompting her to slap away his wandering hand.
This guy really wasn’t behaving!
With a soft cough, he suddenly became more serious: "We need a reason, don’t we? If we sever ties with them outright, people will talk."
Jasper provided Spencer with an opportunity, hoping the kid wouldn’t disappoint him.
Nora was taken aback, deeply moved inside.
She hadn’t expected him to think so much on her behalf.
Her eyes grew slightly moist, and for the moment, she was at a loss for words.
"Why are you crying? I didn’t know my wife was such a crybaby," he teased with a playful smile.
"You’re the crybaby," she retorted with a chuckle, her nose and eyes slightly red.
The atmosphere instantly grew warm, and he gazed at her with deep eyes.
His lovely wife in his arms, considering her condition, Jasper could only look but not touch, and at this moment, he looked aggrieved.
Gazing at those rosy lips.
Unable to restrain himself any longer, he cupped the back of her head and kissed her directly.
Their lips and teeth met, both of them lost in their affection for each other.
It wasn’t until she was breathless that he finally pulled away from her lips.
...
With Megan Underwood joining the studio, everyone became very motivated.
However, on her first day, she pulled off a major feat.
"This isn’t right; the host didn’t even invite us."
Nora had basically never done this before, unless she attended as someone else’s plus-one, but her comment earned her a rolling of the eyes from Megan.
"Girl, if you don’t take the initiative, where will we get the chance to show up and promote ourselves? You must realize that from now on, you have to actively attend every party, as that’s our source of collaboration opportunities."
Patting Nora on the shoulder, Megan immediately saw that she still didn’t get it.
No worries, with Megan returning to the scene, she would definitely teach her well in all aspects.
Nora nodded.
That evening, the two of them took invitations they got from Jasper Sinclair and headed to the party.
Both of them dressed quite flamboyantly that night.
No need to elaborate on Megan, known for her cold and sultry charm.
Nora was not lacking either, her red dress attracting numerous admirers.
The two of them garnered plenty of attention at the event, with some recognizing Megan and whispering among themselves.
Though Megan couldn’t hear them, she could tell from their scrutinizing looks that it wasn’t anything pleasant.
This was understandable; after all, she had previously left the scene due to some rumors.
