Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 254

Ultimately, the Lancasters cared about her Astrological Compatibility. Those elite aristocratic families were obsessed with the occult.

Why else would they beg her to come back and replace Nora?

It had to be because Nora was a jinx who brought them bad luck.

Even while she was out of town, she had heard that the eldest Lancaster brother had been brutally attacked and had his manhood destroyed, and they still hadn't caught the culprit!

"Alright, alright, Jade. Don't get so worked up. A man like that isn't worth your anger."

Penelope grabbed Jade's hand and pulled her back onto the sofa. "The most important thing right now is to reclaim your identity. Once you're officially Mrs. Lancaster, crushing a lowly bodyguard will be as easy as breathing."

Jade's eyes lit up.

"You're absolutely right."

She gave her mother a rare smile. "I'm heading to the Bureau of Vital Records right now."

"What for?"

Jade didn't bother answering, turning on her heel and marching out the door.

...

Walking out of the Bureau of Vital Records, Jade clutched a freshly printed Certified Marriage Certificate Copy.

She had been anxious that she wouldn't be able to pull the records with just her ID...

But surprisingly, her marital status was indeed registered as married.

Staring at Hudson's name printed clearly under 'Spouse', Jade kissed the paper, feeling like the luckiest woman on earth.

This was a marriage women would kill for. She had literally run away from the altar, and it was still handed back to her on a silver platter.

But thinking about her escape made her blood boil.

Archer, that piece of trash!

If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have wasted the last few weeks in hiding. She would have already been the undisputed mistress of the Lancaster empire!

Fuming, Jade drove her car straight toward Azure Bay.

Half an hour later, she was stopped by the towering iron gates of Cloudwater Estate.

She rolled down her window, brandishing the marriage certificate copy, and tilted her chin up, waiting for the guard to open the gate.
