Expectedly, Hailey put on a sullen face when she saw Nora. And she was gnashing her teeth angrily.
But she was self-respecting and did not scold Nora in public. She gave Nora a cold look and walked into her office arrogantly.
Nora sighed and followed in. She closed the door and blocked the curious eyes outside.
Hailey threw a stack of photos and said, "Look what you have done."
She lowered her head and widened her eyes. In addition to her, there were also men of the Xaviers in these photos, which were taken two days ago when they went to the hotel to take a hot spring bath.
Nora asked, "Did you send someone to follow me?"
"Bah, follow you? What do you think you are?"
"Don't expect to hide what you've done. I happened to meet you that day, or you would have kept our family in the dark."
Hailey squinted and pointed at her. "Nora, I knew you weren't a good person. There's something wrong with you, and I caught you."
Nora did not expect this to happen, and she explained in a panic, "It's not like that. You misunderstood. This child is a friend of mine, and the man next to him is his father. We..."
"Enough."
Hailey interrupted her madly and glared at her. "Cut your crap. This is the evidence."
"One of them is your lover, and the other is your son. It just happens to be a match. I can see why you have lost your memory. It's not true. Your purpose is to use my son's sympathy so that you can get money from our family."
"Don't even think about it. As long as I'm alive, you can't marry into our family."
It was beyond Nora's dispute, and she almost cried. She grabbed Hailey's hand and explained anxiously, "Auntie, believe me. Let me explain. It's not like that."
"Let go!"
Hailey pushed Nora to the ground and rubbed her hands as if they were infected with a virus. She looked at Nora with disdain and condescension.
"I'm warning you one last time. Leave my son. Otherwise, I'll make public what you've done and let others know how shameless you are."
With that, she strutted off in her high heels.
Nora lay on the ground. Tears she held back in her eyes for a long time finally flowed out.
Hailey would only hate her more this time. She suddenly felt so tired. There seemed to be an invisible net in front of her, blocking her from being with Sheldon. She felt physically and mentally exhausted.
She didn't blame Hailey for her harsh and vicious remarks. She just blamed herself for agreeing to went to the hot spring.
She had been with Sheldon, and they were getting married soon, so she should avoid such occasions. Otherwise, things would not turn out to be like this.
After a while, she slowly got up. Her phone rang. When she saw that it was Sheldon calling, she patted her face, cleared her throat, and took a deep breath before answering it.
"Sheldon."
Sheldon sat on the bed, and Aubrey wrapped her arms around his neck like a snake.
"Nora, have you had lunch?"
His voice was as gentle as ever, but his hand was touching Aubrey's body. When Aubrey was about to cry out, he quickly covered her mouth.
