Chapter 262


    “Ouch!”


    The one


    who cried out in pain was Leah, whose wrist had been hit by the coffee cup’s saucer. With a “ng,” bo


    th the bag and saucer fell to the ground, and she stepped back, holding her arm.


    Everyone looked up in shock, only to see Estelle standing by the railing, staring coldly at Leah.


    The sight of Estelle instinctively struck fear in Leah, who immediately huddled behind Nics without e


    ven daring to cry out in pain.


    Estelle walked down from upstairs and looked at Nics with an icy gaze. “Leave Norah alone, and get


    the hell out of here now!”


    Nics‘ face went pale, and he looked imploringly at Norah. “Norah, you know better than anyone how


    sincere my feelings are for you, right?” Leah pulled Nics‘ arm and tried to drag him away. “Cousin, l


    et’s go!”


    Nics didn’t want to leave, knowing that if he did, he’d lose Norah for good.

    Norah looked at him tearfully. “Fine, I’ll give you one chance. You can stay now, but you


    must resign tomorrow and never see Leah again.”


    Leah immediately protested. “Cousin, think about it! My dad said he’d promote you next month. You co


    uld be a vice–president straight out of college! How many


    of your peers can say that? But if you resign now, you’ll lose everything!”


    Nics frowned tightly, seemingly hesitating, torn, and with his eyes full of pain.


    Leah seized the opportunity to pull him


    away. “Hurry up and get back to work. Don’t you have to meet with a client this afternoon?”


    Nics reluctantly followed Leah out, shooting Norah a guilty nce. “Norah, wait for me. I’ll give you a


    satisfactory exnation!”


    A


    Norah threw the bag and ne at him. “Take your trash and get lost!”


    Nics had already been dragged out by Leah, leaving Norah to copse onto a


    chair, covering her face and sobbing in agony.


    Estelle walked over and patted her shoulder, silently apanying her through the tears.


    Cry it out, it’ll be better after you let it out!


    Norah hugged Estelle, her cries growing even more heartbroken and painful.


    Estelle thought to herself: Nics must really like Norah, right? He tried to struggle between love and


    money, but he loved himself more. The promise of a VP position made him give up on Norah.


    Norah


    locked herself in her room for two days, so Henson secretly called Estelle. “What happened to my siste


    r? My mom and dad


    are on a business trip, and my grandma is getting anxious. She says if my sister doesn’t open the


    door, she’ll call my dad and uncle.”


    Estelle replied, “Your sister had a breakup.”


    Henson suddenly realized,


    “No wonder. Isn’t it normal to have breakups? My deskmate has had several breakups, but he


    hasn’t made such a fuss.”


    Estelle was speechless. “I’ll give your sister a call.”


    Henson agreed. “Yeah, please talk to her. If all else fails, she can just find another boyfriend.”


    Estelle, “…”


    When Norah was in a rtionship, Henson was nothing but disdainful. But now


    that she’d gone through a breakup, he wanted her to find another boyfriend. It was obvious that he reall


    y cared about his sister.


    After hanging up, Estelle called Norah. After four or five rings, the call finally connected. Norah


    sounded rtivelyposed. “Estelle.”


    “Has Nics contacted you again?” Estelle asked.


    Norah hesitated, as if trying to hold back something. After a while, she finally said, “He did. I insisted


    on breaking up with him, and you know what he said? He used me of being vain and


    materialistic, saying that I wanted to break up with him because I was mad that


    the ne and bag he gave me were fake.”


    Norah’s voice choked with emotion. “I can’t believe I was so blind before. How could I ever fall for a g


    uy like that?”
