She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 721: You Are Like an Ungrown Child

The young man in front of them was Stephen, the only son of the Prince family, and Emily's cousin.

As the young master of an influential family, he had been raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, appearing indifferent to the sufferings of the world.

The people around him catered to him with great care, so when he encountered Nora, who was indifferent to him for the first time, he became intensely interested in her. Nora unveiled a sweet smile.

Stephen felt as if he had found his destined other half, determined to win Nora's heart.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Men's gazes towards women were often tinged with desire, a fact Nora was all too familiar with and somewhat proud of.

Miss Davidson would ultimately marry Hayden, the heir to the Lara family, and after Mr. President's passing, Hayden would be the next president.

By hitting on Stephen, Nora would have the chance to ascend into the royal aristocracy.

Nora clenched her fists secretly, swearing on her soul that if she were to become a noblewoman, the first person she would deal with would be Cheyenne!

The Lawrence family only needed her as their sole heiress.

During the birthday banquet, when it came time to make a wish and blow out the candles, Stephen unexpectedly gave the opportunity to Nora, triggering jealousy among the other girls in the room.

A short-haired girl in a deep blue strapless dress couldn't help but complain, "I really don't understand what's so great about Nora. She's nothing but a perfect angelic bitch."

"She was previously engaged to someone in Akloit, and I heard she even had a miscarriage."

As her words fell, several girls in the room couldn't help but express shock in unison, "Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true, and I heard that Leah performed Nora's abortion operation, and even compensated Nora with five million."

This was truly the most sensational news of the year.

There were rumors outside that she was young and skilled in medicine, and it was even said that she was the successor to Almond Hall, yet she couldn't even perform a simple abortion operation properly - truly a laughingstock.

Nora overheard the whispers, and her mind went blank, the buzzing sound reverberating in her head.

Nora was both shocked and apprehensive. She instinctively looked back at those women, her gaze cold and penetrating, staring at them intensely for several moments.

Only a handful of people knew about her miscarriage in Akloit.

Leah would definitely never make it public; if her failed surgery were to become known, it would tarnish the reputation of the Owen family.

As for the several nurses who had taken care of her, her mother had paid them hush money, and they wouldn't dare to reveal anything.

This process of elimination led to only one person who could spread these rumors: Cheyenne!

Why was she still targeting her?

What troubled Nora even more was that if Master Stephen and his family were to learn about this matter, they would surely prevent her from marring into the Prince family.

What should she do?

Bribe them?

However, the backings of these women were influential figures in Onistead; they certainly wouldn't lack money.

Just as Nora felt at her wits' end, a commotion, accompanied by the shattering of a bottle and a woman's sharp cries, emanated from outside the private room. "What's going on?"

Stephen looked up and glanced outside the door.

The tightly closed private room door was rudely kicked open by someone in the next moment, and a slender figure stumbled and fell at the doorway.

His pure white shirt was covered in blood, and his whole body was drenched in it, splattering onto the floor.

Soon it gathered into a small puddle,

and he reached out to wipe the

blood from the corner of his mouth, struggling to stand up with one hand against the ground.

Before the boy could steady himself, a powerful punch came straight at his nose, carrying a fierce gust of wind with a "whoosh" sound. This time, the boy happened to fall right at Nora's feet.

When she focused and realized that the person in front of her was actually her brother Sean, she was shocked and speechless for a moment. "Sean? What's going on? Why is it you? How did this happen?"

Wasn't he supposed to be studying at school right now?

How could he have ended up at the bar, looking like this after being beaten? If their mother knew, she would be heartbroken.

Nora hurried over in her stiletto heels and reached out to help the blood-drenched Sean up from the ground.

Standing in front of the boy was a middle-aged man of around thirty, wearing a black Armani suit and a blue pinstripe shirt, with a resolute face.

He wore a pair of tea-colored glasses and had a Marlboro cigarette in his mouth, giving off the air of a successful man.

In the man's arms was a young girl with long flowing hair, in an intimate posture that made people unable to resist imagining what their relationship was. Nora recognized the girl, who was Sean's ex-girlfriend, Mikaela.

Why was she also at Onistead?

Seeing Sean in such a miserable state after being beaten, Mikaela did not show the slightest sign of distress or reluctance.

There was even a triumphant smile of success on her fair face, and she

stood with her arms crossed she

leaning against the man's chest, speaking with a cold, icy voice: en.swhovels.net

"Sean, if you have any sense, I advise you not to pester me again!"

"It was you who proposed the breakup in the first place, and I have never loved you!"

"You are like a child who has not grown up, always getting angry and blaming others at the slightest setback. I need a mature and stable man."

As she spoke, the middle-aged man behind her was very satisfied, kissing her forehead and happily caressing Mikaela's shoulder.

"Why bother talking to him anymore? If he dares to harass you again, I will break one of his legs."

Break Sean's leg?

Upon hearing this, Nora couldn't remain silent. After all, he was her brother. How could she just watch him being bullied like this? Sparks of anger flashed in her eyes as she stepped forward and faced the two of them.

"Stop it!"

Mikaela was first stunned for a second, then disdainfully snorted, "Who do you think you are? Turns out it's you, my senior."

"You've gone too far. Even if you've

broken up, you shouldn't beat someone! And Sean was with you for so long, don't forget that it was he who helped you with your tuition because your family was too poor to afford it."
