Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 281: Quarrel

Finnian Lawrence sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward, "Nora, your leg isn’t injured, is it?"

Lily Sloan also put down her wine glass, but she didn’t notice the strange atmosphere and remained as carefree as ever, "Big boss, come join us and have some fun!"

In the closed space, the air was filled with the mixed scent of alcohol.

Jasper Sinclair gazed at Nora Northwood’s furrowed face, recalling how she didn’t answer his calls but was instead drinking with Finnian Lawrence.

His dark eyes restored to the indifference of months before, he uttered not a single word and directly pulled Nora out of the bar.

"You’re hurting me, let go!"

When there was enough room, Nora mustered all her strength to shake off Jasper’s arm.

"Let you go, so you can find Finnian Lawrence?"

The chill in the air made Nora involuntarily shiver.

Jasper’s gaze almost swallowed her, and she retorted stubbornly, "You are simply unreasonable."

Suddenly, a sour feeling filled the man’s chest.

Nora’s fingertips curled, her jaw clenched tight, glaring defiantly at Jasper.

In the next second, her feet left the ground, and she was hoisted up, carried back to the car by Jasper just like that.

The car sped past a hundred miles per hour, the scenery on both sides of the street rapidly falling behind them.

Nora clutched the seatbelt, watching car after car being overtaken by them, shouting, "Jasper Sinclair, are you out of your mind?!"

It wasn’t until they entered the Southwood Court area that the speed gradually decreased.

Nora, like a fish stranded at the edge of the coast, was barely hanging on.

Jasper tried to hold her hand, but she instinctively took a step back.

Under normal circumstances, it was just an inconspicuous movement.

"Now you don’t even want to be close to me, is that it?"

Jasper pressed forward with each step, and Nora’s back was against the car, her exposed skin breaking out in goosebumps, making her panic from the depths of her heart.

"I think we both need to calm down a bit."

Her words fell on Jasper’s ears with a different meaning.

"Calm down, stabilize me, then go have fun with Finnian Lawrence. Dream on." With that, Jasper roughly pulled her back inside the house the same way.

Nora had no clue what his logic was, what connections he was making.

"It’s not what you think with him and me."

"Then what is it? If I hadn’t found you in time, were you planning on staying out all night? First Aaron Lowell, then Finnian Lawrence, what exactly am I to you!"

His pitch-black pupils swept over Nora’s face, exuding endless abyss.

"They’re all work partners, please stop being unreasonable."

Nora knew that if they continued to dwell on this, they would definitely have an argument.

She didn’t have the energy right now, nor did she want to fight, she just wanted to wash off the smell of alcohol and have a good sleep.

And with that, she turned to leave.

The steak in the kitchen had gone completely cold, and the candles hadn’t been lit.

When Nora discovered them again, it was already the next morning.

No wonder Jasper Sinclair was urging her to come home early...

While she was lost in thought, the sliding door was opened from the outside, and they faced each other in an awkward scene that hadn’t happened in a long time.

Nora greeted dully, "Morning."

Jasper averted his gaze, throwing all the food on the table into the trash, completing the action in one smooth motion.
