Chapter 138 Nora Deliberately Provokes Him
Yesterday, Nora went to Cole's food processing plant and found one of the managers there to ask about any issues within the factory.
At first, the person didn't say anything.
But when Nora promised him ten million dollars if he could expose evidence that would destroy the factory, he immediately told her that Cole was cutting costs by purchasing smuggled, non-compliant meat at low prices.
To cover up the smell of the not-so-fresh meat, they used a lot of illegal food additives.
Nora initially approached this with a trial mindset, not expecting to find such incriminating evidence so easily.
She immediately instructed the person to report the violations.
Nora ended the phone and then contacted a private detective to keep an eye on Cole's whereabouts.
Two days later, Cole's food processing plant was shut down for serious violations.
After the news broke, some customers who had bought food produced by his factory filed a lawsuit against him.
However, Cole was very smart.
The legal representative and directors of the food factory were not him.
He had found people to serve as the legal representatives and directors of the factory.
Afterward, he signed separate contracts with those two people to manage them.
Although Cole actually controls everything legally, he cannot be punished.
Even if the factory was sued, the legal representative and directors on record would be arrested. Cole could continue to roam free but couldn't make money.
"Just making him unable to make money is not enough."
"Cole makes Sophia suffer so much. He must pay the price."
That night, Nora received a message from the private detective, learning that Cole was drowning his sorrows in a hotel bar.
Nora immediately took a cab there.
The bar was lively, with countless young men and women dancing in the club, sweating out their hormones.
As soon as Nora entered the bar, her outstanding appearance attracted countless gazes.
"Hey beautiful, are you alone? Do you want us to keep you company?"
Three young men with brightly colored hair, looking like thugs, surrounded her.
They reeked of alcohol, their eyes leering and sleazy.
Nora said coldly, "Get out of my way. I'm not interested in you!"
One of the blond men laughed lewdly, saying, "You haven't played with us yet. How do you know if you're interested or not?"
"Yeah, try us out. We guarantee you won't be able to leave us!"
"Stop pretending to be innocent. Coming to a place like this alone at night, aren't you just looking for a one-night stand?"
They laughed sleazily, reaching out to touch Nora. At this moment, a few distinguished young men in a booth on the second floor were watching the scene below with great interest.
Actually, scenes like this were quite common downstairs.
The reason they noticed Nora was, first, because she was exceptionally beautiful.
Second, because she was someone they knew.
"Isaac, your ex-wife is being harassed. Aren't you going to play the hero?" Harold said teasingly, crossing his legs.
Nigel frowned, "Why does Nora come to the bar alone? It's so dangerous to come to a bar alone this late, especially since she looks so easy to bully."
Isaac looked down, his face instantly darkening, thinking, ' What is Nora doing in a place like this? Doesn't she know how dangerous it is?'
Seeing the way those three men were looking at Nora, Isaac's eyes filled with intense anger.
'How dared they harass Nora? They must be courting death!' Isaac thought.
When Isaac immediately stood up, ready to go downstairs, he saw Nora unhesitatingly lift her foot and fiercely kick one of the men in the groin.
Isaac fell silent.
He stopped in his tracks, suddenly feeling a faint pain in his groin.
Downstairs, the kicked man let out a painful scream.
However, due to the loud music, only a few people nearby heard it, so it didn't cause much of a stir.
"Bitch!" another man cursed, intending to avenge his friend.
Nora quickly lifted her foot and kicked the other two men as well.
When all three of them clutched their groins, writhing on the ground in agony, Nora took the opportunity to walk inside.
She wandered around the bar for a bit and soon spotted Cole drinking alone.
Nora sat down next to Cole, leaned in close to his ear, and mockingly said, "Why are you here drinking alone? Is it because your food processing plant got shut down?"
Cole froze and turned to look at Nora.
In the past, if he had run into Nora in a place like this and she had approached him, Cole would have tried every trick to get her to go to a hotel with him.
But now, with his business suffering a devastating blow, Cole had no other thoughts.
"Are you here to laugh at me?" Cole said unhappily.
Nora laughed, "Yes, why else would I come to find you?"
Cole was so angry, glaring at Nora with rage.
He thought, 'This bitch, she's gone too far!'
"Don't get too cocky. I will rise again!" Cole said through gritted teeth.
Nora said, "Alright, then when you rise again, I'll destroy your business once more. For me, ruining your business is as easy as squashing an ant."
"What do you mean by that?" Cole's heart sank, a furious suspicion suddenly forming in his mind, 'Could it be that the shutdown of my food processing plant has something to do with Nora?'
Since Nora and Sophia were good friends, it made sense that she would take action against him to help Sophia.
But Cole had originally thought that after Nora and Isaac divorced, she was no longer a threat.
He still hadn't expected Nora to have such capabilities.
"You've already guessed it, haven't you?" Nora lowered her voice, speaking into Cole's ear with a smirk, "I bribe your most trusted manager to report the factory himself, destroying the business you are so proud of."
"Bitch!" Cole's eyes bulged with rage, "So, it is you who set me up. You're despicable!"
Nora curled her lips, "Can't handle it? Don't worry. I'll destroy your parents, your wife, and your children one by one so you can truly understand what despair is."
"Bitch, I'll kill you right now!" Cole was so furious that he lost all reason.
As he was angry and drunk, knowing that Nora messed up his factory and hearing her threaten his family, Cole lost all ability to think, and only wanted to kill the person who had ruined his career!
Cole swung his fist at Nora in a fit of rage.
But Nora was prepared and quickly stepped back.
At that moment, the three thugs whom Nora had kicked in the groin rushed over.
"Bitch, you think you can hit us and get away? Let's see how we deal with you!"
They had somehow gotten hold of knives and were ready to threaten Nora to go with them.
Seeing the weapons in their hands, Cole didn't hesitate and grabbed one, stabbing it towards Nora's abdomen., crying out, "Bitch, go to hell!"
