Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk Chapter 204: Just a Defeated Foe

Nora Northwood spoke in a chilling tone, "Ms. Lockwood, I painstakingly manage the so-called rundown place you speak of, yet it’s this very place that can defeat you ti and again. Doesn’t that an your Lockwood Family isn’t even as good as a rundown place?"

Her voice was just the right volu to draw in people from ters around.

Suddenly, silence fell over the scene.

Jade Lockwood gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word in retort.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected to be embarrassed in full view of the public.

Jasper Sinclair, having finished his tasks, returned to Nora Northwood’s side.

His eyes were as clear as snow, compelling one to gaze at them.

He wrapped an arm around Nora Northwood’s waist and spoke to Jade Lockwood, whose face had turned pale, "I don’t mind if you lose to my wife once more."

On the other side, Yuna Hughes watched the scene with a half-smile, relieved that there was a fool who intervened, otherwise, she’d be the one on the hot seat.

Then, Jasper Sinclair led the people away.

gan Underwood followed him, adding a mocking comnt as she brushed past Yuna Hughes, "This ti you have a scapegoat, next ti you might not be so lucky."

Yuna Hughes’s face turned crimson with sha, and even thick foundation couldn’t hide it.

As the main characters gradually left, the spectators also dispersed.

Only Yuna Hughes remained there, pondering over sothing...

Elsewhere, gan Underwood unabashedly admired, "Nora, I didn’t know you were so good with words!"

"It’s all thanks to the guidance of a great ntor!" With the troubleso matters behind, Nora Northwood reverted to her cheerful deanor and added, "Just now, seeing Yuna’s poor state, our assumptions must be correct—there’s already discord within their group!"

"That’s right, the fact that she’s Elaine’s apprentice hasn’t brought her much advantage," gan Underwood responded.

"I wonder what her next move will be."

gan Underwood was unbothered, not believing that Yuna Hughes could stir any major trouble in the industry.

After all, Yuna Hughes had been too well-protected by Elaine before.

"Whatever move she makes, we’ll counter it; nothing will stop VK’s progress."

"Indeed, and no one can topple our Master gan Underwood!"

"You talk too much."

Seeing the sweet curve at the corner of Nora Northwood’s lips, Jasper Sinclair couldn’t help but feel his mood lift.

He proceeded to share the content of a phone call he’d just taken, "The police notified that they can extract content from the surveillance cara we found in the restroom, and I’ve had Louis Hayes handle it."

Upon hearing this, Nora Northwood’s eyes sparkled, "That’s wonderful! Finally, there’s a breakthrough!"

Her long and dense eyelashes blinked, creating an enchanting sight in Jasper Sinclair’s eyes.

Soon, the banquet officially comnced.

The emotional strains of violin music flowed gently from exterior speakers.

A group of slender dancers, dressed as white swans, set the stage for the event’s opening.

Offstage.

Nora Northwood glanced at Jasper Sinclair and mumbled, "Stupid man! Watching so intently!"

Her murmuring reached Jasper Sinclair’s ears, and he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

He leaned close to Nora Northwood’s ear and whispered in a low, quiet voice, "When we get ho tonight, you can dance for too."

Upon hearing this, Nora Northwood’s eyes widened in surprise as she turned to look at him.

Her gaze seed to question: How can you act so roguishly in public?
