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

Chapter 330: Justice Above Family

Nora Northwood was dozing in the car, the sunset outside the window stained the cabin, also coloring half of her cheek.

Jasper Sinclair tucked the strand of hair on her lips behind her ear.

The weather in Stanton City changes in the blink of an eye.

It was bright and sunny during the day, yet by evening, torrential rain began to fall.

Nora Northwood was still dreaming of playing chess with The Sandman when the sound of rain hitting the glass window startled her awake.

She mumbled, "The weather forecast didn’t mention any rain today."

"Spring rain, it probably won’t stop for the next few days. Once these rains are over, the temperature will completely rise."

"It’d be better if it didn’t rain, so I could enjoy a few more days of cool weather."

As Jasper Sinclair said, the rain in Stanton City drizzled intermittently for a week.

Nora Northwood’s scheduled second phase of shooting coincidentally fell on a rainy day.

Thankfully, most of the scenes they predicted were indoors, so it didn’t have much impact.

The fill lights came from all directions, and the director was still continuously adjusting positions.

Only when he said it was okay did Nora Northwood gracefully make her appearance.

Today’s theme was agility, and the makeup artist traced white winged eyeliner for her, with notably exaggerated eyelash curls.

"Miss Northwood, you can make your movements more exaggerated, the more dramatic, the more photogenic."

Following the photographer’s instructions, Nora Northwood lowered her waist by another inch.

"Good, very good, keep this pose."

She seemed like a sprite stepping into the mortal world, captivating hearts.

At six o’clock in the afternoon, the day’s shoot ended, and the photographer showed Nora Northwood the unedited shots. She was very satisfied.

The moon broke through the clouds.

Its chilly white light barely illuminated the world through layers of overcast clouds.

Nora Northwood was drinking water in the resting area when she heard someone discussing gossip, making her ears stand up involuntarily.

"The Lockwood Family is really ruined this time."

"That’s a century-old foundation, it can’t just vanish like that."

"Well, they shouldn’t have offended people they couldn’t afford to offend!"

"I’ll say, the lives of those rich folk aren’t as free as one might think, not as good as the ordinary common people."

Nora Northwood was so immersed in eavesdropping that she didn’t even notice that her water cup had long been empty.

She was still unsatisfied even after the group of people left.

She opened her phone, typed in the word "Lockwood" in the search bar, and was inundated with information. She skimmed through it, and the outcome was beyond her imagination.

The most attention-grabbing headline was "Lockwood Family Offspring Righteous and Unconventional", bolded and enlarged, fearing that people might not see it clearly.

Jade Lockwood attended a press conference, voluntarily revealing the Lockwood Family’s business secrets to the public.

...

A night of gale winds, as if trying to overturn Stanton City.

Nora Northwood snuggled deeper into Jasper Sinclair’s embrace, then continued to sleep soundly.

The next morning, she struggled again to get up, being especially fond of sleep lately without knowing why.

"Jasper, I want to eat the mushroom noodles from the shop downstairs." Nora Northwood said vaguely while brushing her teeth.

"Wait till you change, then we’ll go eat."

This was an ordinary noodle shop, which was said to have been open for decades in Stanton City, holding childhood memories for many.

Just two hundred meters from the noodle shop, you could smell the fragrance wafting through the air.

Nora Northwood walked with cheerful steps and found a seat by the window.

She took out her phone and scanned the QR code to order two bowls of mushroom clear soup noodles.

"Today, it finally stopped raining. By the way, how did Jade Lockwood manage to pinpoint issues with the Lockwood Family?"

Others might not be aware of the inside story, but Jasper Sinclair must know.
