Chapter 340


    Mrs. Jones was no pushover even before she married into the Joneses. When her husband was still


    alive, she used various means to deal with the women who threw themselves at him many times.


    Now, only her and Sheldon were left in this branch of the Joneses. Therefore, Sheldon was her


    everything, and she would not allow anyone to take him away from her.


    But Sheldon was actually mad at her for that bitch Nora, which aroused a strong sense of crisis within


    her. She would not let that bitch off.

    Mrs. Jones dressed herself up carefully and walked into the Xavier Group carrying a handbag. There


    was a faint smile on her delicately made-up face. Anyone who saw her would think that she was an


    elegant and intellectualdy.


    As the madam of the Joneses, she could easily enter the Design Department.


    Nora was making sketches seriously. When she heard the assistant''s voice, she looked up and her


    heart skipped a beat. Then she stood up immediately.


    "Auntie?"


    She hadn''t seen Hailey for a while and didn''t know her purpose ining.


    In the past, Hailey had always been mean to her, but today, she was actually smiling and unexpectedly


    kind, which made Nora a little uneasy.


    "Nora, I came here today specially to see you."


    Hailey was full of enthusiasm when seeing Nora, holding her hand affectionately.


    Nora stiffened uncontrobly. This was the first time she had seen Hailey behaving like this. She was


    ttered and felt a little weird at the same time.


    "Auntie, what did you want to see me about?"


    Hailey smiled and said, "The reason I came here today is to give you something."


    As she spoke, Hailey took out a vacuum sk from her bag and unscrewed the cap gently.


    Since Nora didn''t pay attention at all, she didn''t see the sinister smile in Hailey''s eyes. The next


    moment, an ident happened.


    "Bitch, go to hell."


    With a shrill and malicious curse, Hailey opened the cap and sshed the boiling water on Nora''s face.


    Nora was very close to her. She widened her eyes in panic, drew back subconsciously and raised her


    hand to ward it off. The moment the boiling water was sshed over her body, she fell to the ground.


    "Ah..."


    Although her face was protected from the boiling water, her arm was not spared. The burning pain in


    her tender and fair arm made her cry out in agony.


    Arge area of skin on the outside of her arm went red and blistered, looking awful.


    The other designer assistants around were so scared that they shrieked the moment they came to their


    senses. The whole office was thrown into chaos.


    Her face reddened, Hailey had that mean look in the eyes.


    She pounced on Nora, who was on the ground, her sharp nails piercing hard into Nora''s bare skin.


    Scratching and pinching, Hailey showed no mercy and acted as if she was crazy.


    "Little bitch, how dare you to seduce my son! You cheap whore..."


    "I''m going to tear you to pieces today, you slut! I just want to see how you''ll seduce my son and defy


    me in the future..."


    Nora was no match for her. Besides, her arm was injured, and she was suffering the burning pain. Nora


    couldn''t be more painful at this moment.


    Fortunately, a few designers called the security guards immediately. Trembling, another designer


    contacted Damian, a man nted in the Design Department by Derek.


    Since the Avril incidentst time, Derek had nted a man to watch the office, so that he would know


    what happened immediately once Nora was wronged in the Design Department.


    Damian waspletely taken aback when hearing that Nora was sshed with boiling water by a


    womaning out of the blue. He couldn''t afford to hold back the truth and told Derek about it at once.


    The security guards came to the Design Department soon and pulled Hailey away from Nora.


    Hailey struggled frantically, "What are you doing? How dare you touch me? Let go of me. Get out of my


    way..."


    "Do you know who I am? Let go of me..."


    Several designer assistants helped Nora up.


    Although Nora was not seriously hurt, she still looked miserable at the moment. Her face turned pale


    due to the intense pain and the shock a while ago, and she couldn''t help trembling.


    Derek strode over with a sullen face, looking furious. Especially when he caught sight of Nora, his eyes


    darkened instantly, sending a chill down people''s spines.


    Everyone could feel the ferocity he exuded. The female designers of the Design Department all went


    silent in fear, their hearts racing.


    Derek walked over, his sharp eyes running over Nora''s body inch by inch. The bloody scratches and


    bruises didn''t matter that much.


    However, therge area of burns on her arm was very eye-catching. In addition, in order to ward off


    Hailey just now, Nora had her burnt skin torn off, which was too horrible to look at.


    Derek''s eyes went red. While his heart was torn apart, he also felt like killing the crazy woman.


    He never expected that someone would dare to hurt Nora like this under his nose and on his turf.


    Derek took off his suit, draped it over Nora''s shoulders gently and scooped her up, his voice piercing


    cold.


    "Get the car ready. To the hospital."


    Even Damian, who was behind him, held his breath and said at once, "Yes, Mr. Xavier."


    As he went by Hailey, Derek paused and nced at her.


    This nce made Hailey''s ferocious look freeze. As if someone was seizing her by the throat, she


    could say nothing.


    A bone-chilling coldness shot up from the bottom of her feet, and in an instant, Hailey was too scared


    to look him in the eye.


    Naturally, Derek would not let her off so easily. He wished he could tear her to pieces, but not now.


    What mattered more was Nora''s injury. She needed to be sent to the hospital immediately.


    It was the same hospital that she had gone to when she had saved Eastonst time. Before long, she


    was here again.


    The Xaviers was the biggest shareholder of this hospital. As soon as Derek stepped in, the director


    rushed over to wee him with his people.


    "Cut the crap. Arrange a room and treat her immediately."


    "Yes, yes, I''m doing it right now." The elderly director wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    Derek ced Nora on the bed gently. Along the way, Nora had been enduring the pain and suffering,


    but she made no sound.


    Derek was heartbroken to see Nora like this. He couldn''t say anything harsh to her, and had no choice


    but to hold back his emotions. His face turned more and more sullen, and he looked like the King of


    Hell.


    "Bring the medicine," he said faintly.


    Damian, who was behind him, was stunned and realized what kind of medicine his boss was referring


    to at once. His lips were twitching, his heart aching, but he acted very quickly and took out a little


    wooden box immediately.


    The wooden box was opened and a small bottle filled with light blue liquid was shown in it.


    This medicine worked simrly to the anesthetics used in various hospitals. The only difference was


    that there was that those ordinary anesthetics were not allowed to be used as much as people wanted


    to.
