Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 141

Nora freshened up and headed downstairs to find breakfast already waiting for her.

Hudson had woken up earlier than she had, and by the time she made it to the dining room, he was already gone.

As she ate, her phone suddenly buzzed against the table.

She glanced at the caller ID, her brows knitting together slightly, before she hit the answer button.

"Hello, Mom..."

"Nora!"

Penelope Reed's voice rang through the speaker, brimming with excitement. "Mr. Lancaster just secured a massive project for the Reed family! It's that Westside Redevelopment plot. You know the one—Marcus has been eyeing that land for two years and couldn't get his hands on it. But now, Mr. Lancaster sorted it out with a single word!"

Nora's grip on her phone tightened.

The Westside Redevelopment was a massive undertaking that Marcus Reed had been obsessing over for two years. The investment scale was enormous, and the profit margins were astronomical. However, the competition was fierce, and with the Reed family's current status and connections, it was entirely out of their league.

She had never mentioned the Reed family's business to Hudson. Why would he suddenly intervene?

Did her mother go behind her back to bother him?

"Nora? Nora? Are you listening to me?"

Nora finally snapped out of her daze. "Yeah."

"Mr. Lancaster is at the house right now. Get back here immediately!"

Hudson was at the Reed estate?

But Arthur had explicitly told her that Hudson had an executive meeting at the company today.

"Alright, I won't hold you up. Hurry up and get over here!"

"Mom..."

Before Nora could get another word out, Penelope hung up the phone.

Left with no other choice, she hastily downed a few gulps of milk, grabbed her car keys, and headed out the door.

The drive from Azure Bay to the Reed family villa took about forty minutes.

The San Francisco morning rush hour had already passed, so the traffic was relatively light. She didn't drive too fast, her mind spinning with a chaotic swirl of thoughts.

Pulling up to the gates of the Reed estate, she parked the car and walked straight inside.

Before she even stepped through the door, she heard laughter drifting from the living room.
