Chapter 237 There’s Only One of Her

“you end the meeting now, we’ll lose this deal,” Miles pleaded. “That would be a huge loss for the company.

“Your grandmother and the board will both be furious, and on top of that-”

Julian cut him off coldly. “The deal’s practically done. All that’s left is the final stretch. You and the rest of the team can handle it. If you still manage to blow it, what am I paying you for?”

Then, he turned to Wren. “Let’s go find Nora. Which station is she at?”

After hearing how serious Miles made it sound, Wren hesitated. “Maybe you should finish your meeting first. Half an hour won’t make a difference. Just get me a good lawyer, and I’ll go see Nora and find out what’s going on.”

They wouldn’t be allowed to see Nora right now anyway. Only a lawyer could.

Julian was already striding out. “Someone’s setting her up. A lot can go wrong in half an hour, and she’s already been there over two hours.”

Miles broke into a cold sweat. All he could do was pray that Nora was okay. She’ll be fine. Right?

On the way to the police station, Julian checked his phone for news about Nora. The story was already trending.

There was security footage too, from the lobby of the Starfall Media building. It showed Tanya and Nora talking. The audio was faint, but it was there.

In it, Nora glanced at Tanya’s stomach and said something that ended with “you’d lose the baby from the

stress.”

It was a very short clip, and the sound was muffled, but anyone could tell it was Nora’s voice.

There was no other footage. Just that one clip, a few seconds long. But it was more than enough to send people online into a frenzy.

[Wow. I was way too naive to trust a rich CEO. Standing up for her employee the other day was just a PR stunt. THIS is who Nora Sinclair really is.]

[That’s pure evil. She made a pregnant woman lose her baby? Karma’s coming for her. I hope she can never have kids.]

[Let’s all calm down. The story flipped last time, remember? A boss who stands up for her employees doesn’t seem like someone that cruel.]

[Are you dumb or just brainless? It flipped last time because there was no footage. This time there’s video AND audio. How much more proof do you need? Are you a paid shill for Starfall Media?]

[The footage is crystal clear. Tanya went to apologize, and Nora used her money and power to make the victim grovel. Then she killed the baby! Pure evil. I hope she never has kids. Anyone defending her can go

infertile too.]

yone who spoke up for Nora got torn apart until they went quiet.

Then, Julian saw Tanya’s latest post.

Finished

Tanya had written a tearful post denouncing Nora. “This is Tanya Ingram. Yesterday, I was happily talking to the baby in my belly. Today, my baby is gone forever, and it’s all because I exposed how my classmate Nora Sinclair bullied me years ago…”

It was way too long. Julian didn’t have the patience for it, and he had even less stomach for Tanya’s fake surgically altered face and the lies coming out of it. But he forced himself to read the whole thing anyway.

He’d just finished when Miles called, frantic. “Sir, Joss and his team just walked out, furious. They’re refusing to work with us, and now they’re talking business with Adrian Pierce!

“Adrian might actually land this deal!

“Sir, they said if you come back now and finish the meeting, they’ll sign the contract on the spot.”

Julian frowned. “What happened?”

Even just listening in, Wren could tell how urgent it was. She urged Julian, “You should go back to your meeting. I’ll take the lawyer and go find Nora.

“Otherwise, if you lose this deal, Nora’s going to be in just as much trouble when she gets out.”

This was an international partnership. It wasn’t just about the money on the table now. It was about decades. of profit. For a company the size of the Weston Group, that meant upward of $10,000,000,000. The company’s whole future could ride on it.

If the deal fell through because of Nora, Wren didn’t even want to imagine the grief the Westons and the board would give her. They might even force Nora and Julian to divorce!

Julian told Miles, “Tell Joss that if he wants to break into this market, the Weston Group is the partner to work with. If they go with the Pierce Group instead, it’s his loss.

“Miles, you’re my right-hand man. You know how to handle this.

“If the deal with Joss falls through, I can find someone else, another company. Losing money is only a temporary setback. I can always make it back.

“But there’s only one Nora in this whole world. I can’t gamble with her!”

It wasn’t that he didn’t understand what was at stake. He just knew that no amount of money mattered more than Nora’s life.

Julian had just hung up with Miles when Constance called. “Grandma.”
