Chapter 418 Just a Simple One-Night Stand
Suzy's rant made Emma extremely angry.
"Suzy, I've told you before; if you can't stand Jackson, divorce him as soon as possible. What's there to hold onto with a man like that?"
Suzy sniffed, hatred in her swollen eyes.
"Mom, I hate him so much. Do you know what he said about me? He said I can never compare to Nora, and that he'd rather marry a whore than me!"
"He said Nora's now the Hamilton family's legitimate heiress, and with her dating Aaron, she has helped his career. But what about him?"
"He thought that by marrying the Hamilton family's adopted daughter, he'd get some connections. However, what he got was the Woodhouses breaking the contract, the Turners withdrawing their investment, and the Remingtons staying silent. He blamed it all on me, saying I'm a jinx and that nothing goes right for him because he married me. He's waiting for me to divorce him!"
Emma couldn't take it anymore and threw the coffee away, clutching her chest and gasping for air.
Seeing her uneasy face, Suzy quickly comforted her, "Mom, calm down. You're the only person I can talk to now; you can't leave me!"
Emma took a deep breath, forcing her anger down.
Looking at the tearful and aggrieved Suzy, she said, "Okay, Suzy, divorce him right away. Don't worry, Mom will find a man a thousand times better than him and make him jealous!"
Hearing this, light flashed in Suzy's eyes. "Mom, I just want to marry Aaron. I hate Nora, and I only want to take away her belongings to ease my hatred!"
Emma also hated Nora, but considering the current situation, she still had some rationality in her heart.
"Suzy, I understand how you feel, but Aaron and Nora are deeply in love now. He will never marry you," Emma said.
Hearing this, Suzy's disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"Then who can I marry? I'm a divorced woman; can I find a better man than Aaron?"
Emma fell silent for a moment; something flashed in her mind as she decided.
"Suzy, don't worry. I know what to do," she said.
Suzy leaned into her embrace.
"Mom, I feel terrible! It's all because of Nora's appearance, which is making my life worse and worse. I'm almost depressed."
Emma sighed lightly and patted her back. "It's okay. With me here, you shouldn't think too much. I've told you that even if you never get married, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Suzy forced a smile. "Thank you, Mom."
Right now, all she wanted to do was humiliate, step on, and make Nora suffer!
Nora had everything she wanted.
She really wished she could kill her!
...
Nora thought about meeting Evella at noon, so she went to help out at Lindwood City University's laboratory after breakfast, where her mentor worked.
At noon, she went to the university cafeteria to meet Evella.
"Here you go."
Nora sat down at the table and handed Evella her bag and phone.
Evella took the items and pouted, showing her dissatisfaction.
Nora chuckled, pinching her face. "Are you still mad at me? Alright, it's all my fault. Just tell me, what can I do to make it up for you?"
Evella huffed lightly, turning her head away quietly.
Nora was amused and coaxed softly, "Alright, Evella. I just want you to be my sister-in-law, so I was hasty. Don't be mad, okay? How about I buy you some candy?"
Hearing this, Evella chuckled.
"Nora, you're treating me like Samantha."
Nora laughed, "You're finally smiling."
Evella pouted, "Don't do that again."
"I won't, I promise." Nora quickly assured.
"Let's eat now."
Evella handed a fork to Nora.
Nora thanked her and took a sip of the soup.
She thought of something and asked, "Evella, you said Howard was impotent. Have you tried him?"
Evella had just swallowed some food when she heard this, immediately choking. Her face turned red as she struggled.
Nora quickly stood up and patted her back, unable to help but laugh.
She was so panicked; it seemed like the two definitely hadn't slept together before.
"Ahem, Nora, can we still have a pleasant chat?" Evella's eyes widened, blushing as she apologized.
Nora put on an innocent look, "I'm just worried about Howard's health. However, men and women have a few differences, so I feel embarrassed to ask him directly. Thus, I had to come to you first to find out."
She felt like she had become evil, taking advantage of the innocent Evella.
Looking at the other person's face turning beet red, she was amused.
"Oh, we didn't do anything last night. asked the wrong person," Evella straightforwardly told the truth.
Nora raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, so you just innocently spent the night together at a hotel."
"Yes, we didn't do anything," Evella replied.
"What a shame," Nora said regretfully.
"What a shame for what?"
"What a shame Howard can't be responsible over that and make you my sister-in-law."
Evella was silent.
Sister-in-law?
It was such a fresh term.
A man's cold white skin and delicate collarbone appeared in her mind...
Evella quickly stopped her thoughts and began eating.
He was too annoying.
He wasn't interested in her at all, so she didn't want anything to do with him!
Nora, sitting across from her, saw her burying her head and eating. She smiled and also started eating.
Thinking of something, Nora said, "Evella, I forgot to tell you that Flynt and Anna have been arrested. Their band will probably disband, and they'll also be imprisoned."
This was the latest news.
Aaron said that not only were they drug users, but they also influenced other people to use drugs and inject illegal substances.
According to the law, they'd be sentenced to 3-10 years in prison.
As for Flynt, if there were girls claiming he had deceived and raped them after the news came out, his crime would be even more severe.
Aaron said he'd hire the best lawyers for those victims and severely punish Flynt.
"He deserves it," Evella had a cold look.
Idols, idols… They were all fake.
She would never chase after stars again in the future because sometimes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Nora silently patter her hand, comforting her.
Evella took a deep breath, collecting her emotions as she smiled at Nora.
"I'm fine, let's eat."
"Okay."
The two of them continued eating.
At this moment, someone nearby was calling for Evella.
"Evella, someone's looking for you."
Evella looked up and saw her classmate leading someone toward her.
"Who's looking for me?" Evella asked.
