Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 557

Chapter 557:

She quickly excused herself. “Mom, | need to take care of something, so I'll be leaving now.”

Her immediate priority was to check the surveillance footage and catch the thief. If the necklace wasn’t

recovered by the end of the wedding, she would be held responsible for the loss, and she couldn't afford that.

The three of them found a quiet spot to sit.

Juliana asked about what had been happening with Norah recently. Juliana had actually heard a lot about Norah's

situation. Sharon didn’t like Norah, and consequently, she didn’t like Madeline either. The events that transpired

between the two in Glophia were something Juliana intended to discuss with her family over dinner.

“Gold shines wherever it is,” Juliana had remarked, reflecting on Norah's experiences. She had always believed

Norah had great potential, but Derek's failure to see this had left her talents unrecognized and unappreciated.

What a pity.

Juliana held Norah's hand and gave it a reassuring pat. “Norah, | know your divorce from Derek has been

incredibly tough on you. You've earned your compensation, and avoiding Derek is for the best, but please believe

towards Norah was sincere.

“Today is Derek’s wedding. I'm not sure why you decided to come, but I implore you, please don’t stir up any

trouble, can you? I'd really appreciate that.” Her eyes pleaded with Norah, her grip steady and earnest.

This scene brought back memories of Norah's previous confrontation with the Carter family when juliana had

begged her to show mercy to Kathy. The Carter family was fortunate to have someone like Juliana protecting

them, but Norah had already made up her mind and was determined to see it through.

“I ctoday because of you. I've said before that I'll treat Derek like a stranger. As long as he doesn’t provoke

me, | won't go out of my way to provoke him either.”

Norah's planned wedding gift carried more significance than a mere cash offering. It was meticulously put

together soon after she heard about Derek’s marriage to Madeline.

Juliana grinned in acknowledgment. “Norah, you've always been the one who gets me. Back in the day, you were

my rock.”

But Norah, sensing a shift toward reminiscence, swiftly interjected, “Derek and | are no longer together. Let's

keep the past where it belongs.”

“Oh, of course, my apologies. Sometimes my old mind just wanders. I'll keep it in check from now on.” She cast a

fond gaze at Norah. What a gem she was. Derek's inability to discern character led him astray with Madeline, a

real piece of work!

Kathy, checking the surveillance footage, wasted no tidentifying the culprit: a distant relative from the

Powell family, a plump woman who stole the necklace during their conversation.
