Chapter 475: Marrying into Money
"Having witnessed your growth all along, I naturally can’t miss VK’s important moment."
Finnian Lawrence had a remarkably pleasant young man’s voice, which, combined with his gentlemanly image, had a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.
"Speaking of which, the person I’m most grateful to is you. Without your personal guidance, I wouldn’t be standing in this position today."
If it weren’t for Finnian, Nora Northwood wouldn’t have embarked on the path of truly wanting to connect with everyone.
Throughout this journey, Finnian had imparted his knowledge of fragrances to her without reservation, leading her into a more high-end market.
It’s not an exaggeration to call him her guide.
"Nora, you’re really flattering me with these words. You have natural talent that suits this industry."
Nora’s waning enthusiasm finally eased a bit.
In the midst of their conversation, another jarring voice interrupted, "Nora Northwood, is it great being married to a rich person?"
It was Christian Quinn’s voice.
Nora was taken aback for a moment, then immediately felt the surrounding atmosphere drop, tinged with a bit of anger, as she asked, "How did you sneak in here?"
Christian Quinn wouldn’t have received an invitation to VK. The only reason he could be here was because he snuck in.
"Watch your mouth. I walked in openly. Don’t think just because you have a rich husband you can look down on others, you snobbish thing."
Upon hearing this, Finnian Lawrence’s face immediately turned unsightly.
He wasn’t at liberty to meddle in others’ family matters. Whether for the Lawrence Family’s reputation or for Nora Northwood, he could only watch in silence.
"Mr. Quinn, please mind your words. If you didn’t receive an invitation, please leave willingly."
Several cameras were pointed at Nora, so she could only speak politely.
"I’m not leaving. What can you do about it?" Christian Quinn was increasingly behaving like a scoundrel, and his attitude was that of a hooligan. "How about it? Is it impressive being a wealthy man’s wife?"
There was an uproar in the room; no one knew where Christian Quinn came from, yet they admired his daring to ask.
Nora was already the focus among the crowd, and now more and more eyes were on her.
Many of the invited guests were well-known figures in high society.
Nora really didn’t want to be the center of attention. It was even more humiliating than a circus performance, especially as she remembered that fragmented marriage.
Her hands, hanging on both sides of her body, involuntarily clenched. At this moment, Megan Underwood approached, gently patting her shoulder as a show of reassurance.
Then, Megan let out a soft laugh.
She unleashed her cold and captivating aura, staring at Christian Quinn: "Just because your life isn’t going well doesn’t mean you want others to be the same, does it?"
Her character was quite different from Nora Northwood’s.
Once she said this, the room fell silent.
Christian Quinn had no strength to retort. He had spent a few days in detention, and once he was out, no company was willing to hire him. He was like a pariah in the industry, and people would avoid him by several feet.
This was partly due to Jasper Sinclair’s influence.
He couldn’t afford to offend Stanton City’s leading enterprise, so he attributed it all to Nora Northwood.
Having drifted through the past six months aimlessly, he noticed VK had moved from a small flower shop into a large company.
The more he compared, the more apparent the gap in his heart became, so he disguised himself as a waiter to sneak into today’s banquet, intending to embarrass Nora Northwood.
He wanted everyone to know that this woman was capricious and materialistic!
