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

Chapter 533: Met Once Before

Lily’s face was already flushed red, luckily she had put on enough foundation and her blush was just right, so no one noticed her awkwardness and unease.

She swallowed and said, "It was probably half a year ago at the temple fair, with Nora."

Finnian Lawrence suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that Lily had a familiar vibe.

"So we have met before during that time."

"It’s normal for important people to forget things. Mr. Lawrence, it’s normal not to remember someone like me," Lily’s tone carried a hint of coquettishness that she herself hadn’t noticed.

Finnian Lawrence smiled, his smile was different from before, now it was naturally friendly, like chatting with a friend about something interesting.

"It’s my fault for not recognizing you, I should have been reminded earlier."

He spoke effortlessly, giving people a pleasant feeling without any sense of offense.

"It’s not too late now."

"By the way, you seemed preoccupied just now, is there any difficulty you’re facing?"

Upon addressing the matter, Finnian Lawrence’s demeanor shifted slightly.

Unfortunately, it addressed what shouldn’t have been addressed.

Lily was ill-prepared for the exposure of the situation, she feigned calmness and sought other excuses, "About Nora and Director Sinclair’s matter being spread around on Weibo, I’m just figuring out how to tell her."

Someone intentionally amplified the matter, with Weibo posts being paid to trend.

Misfortune never comes alone.

The scene of Nora Northwood and Jasper Sinclair’s argument was also circulated online, though it was unclear what they were arguing about, their expressions were unpleasant.

This matter fully fermented within twenty-four hours, capturing the attention of nearly half the internet.

"Seems like marrying into a wealthy family isn’t easy."

"This woman clearly looks scheming, using the Sinclair Family’s business, even if she divorces now, she still got the money."

"You can’t judge a book by its cover, nor measure the vastness of the sea with a bushel!"

...

Rumors swirled online, opinions varied, and the sheer volume of comments could drown a person.

Of course, not all were condemning Nora Northwood, there were occasionally some nice remarks, but they were very few.

VK’s third floor.

Yvonne Winslow conducted a detailed analysis of the situation, concluding that it needed to be resolved quickly.

"The best solution is for Director Sinclair to step in, his word could easily dissolve the current crisis."

Nora Northwood remained unperturbed, seemingly unaffected by the incident, yet her gaze was as profound as the nighttime fog.

She was clear-headed yet unwilling to yield.

"There’s no need to resolve it, regardless of the netizens’ opinions, there are so many matters within the circle, within a couple of days no one will pay attention."

She was indeed right.

VK’s audience consisted of high-end clients, these individuals wouldn’t indulge in online gossip, at most they’d watch for entertainment when idle, nothing more.

Yvonne Winslow repeatedly tugged at her nails, feeling something still amiss, wanting to salvage the situation, "We’re launching the Mid-Autumn commemorative edition at the end of September, it might be affected."

"There’s still time until the end of September, this matter ends here, I have other plans."

Thus, Yvonne Winslow found it difficult to say more and could only leave the office.

After the person left, Nora Northwood let out a long sigh, her body relaxed against the chair as if all strength had left her.
