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

Chapter 560: Returning to the City

Jasper Sinclair didn’t respond to the conversation; he had eyes for no one else, naturally he couldn’t find anyone cuter.

Nora Northwood bought a few bowls of porridge from a nearby breakfast shop, and the two filled their stomachs before heading downstairs early for the gathering.

At almost nine-thirty, five neatly arranged Bentleys stopped at the entrance of the guesthouse.

The owner had never seen such a grand spectacle, realizing these people were wealthy businessmen from the city.

Before leaving, Nora Northwood paid double the room fee and expressed her gratitude repeatedly for the trouble caused during their stay that night.

Meanwhile, this incident also reached President Lewis’s ears.

He insisted on visiting Nora Northwood, attributing the mishap to himself.

Calculated closely, no one was to blame; it could only be said that the heavens were unkind.

"President Lewis, the photography equipment got waterlogged; I’m not sure if the photos can still be retrieved. I’ll need you to communicate with the photographer."

Because of this incident, Nora Northwood secretly decided to recruit a new photography team for VK.

"Miss Northwood, don’t worry. Their equipment costs over a hundred thousand per set, most of it has waterproof features. I’ll get someone to coordinate with your assistant later."

"I was overthinking."

The two of them discussed some cooperation details further, but Nora Northwood didn’t waste much time on the dinner since her mind was occupied with someone else.

Wondering whether Jasper Sinclair had recovered from his fever...

On the other side.

Peach Bell somehow heard of Jasper Sinclair’s injury and skipped class to rush to the Sinclair Family’s private hospital.

Jasper Sinclair had just had an X-ray and was resting, waiting for the results.

The arm injury was a bit severe; the doctor recommended an X-ray to avoid leaving irreparable damage.

"Brother Jasper!"

Peach Bell arrived just as he was about to get the results. Seeing her, his expression visibly changed; the calm demeanor vanished, and even his tone struggled a bit, "Who told you to come to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jasper Sinclair hadn’t expected Peach Bell to be there because of him.

The girl had always been a picture of innocence, yet lately, her eyes seemed to carry a hint of undefined melancholy.

Ignoring everything, she hugged Jasper Sinclair’s waist, tears falling without a moment’s notice.

Her breathing tightened, she asked sullenly, "Do you hate me now? You used to never raise your voice at me!"

Jasper Sinclair lowered his gaze, examining for a moment, casting aside the injury and forcefully peeling Peach Bell away, creating distance.

The girl had no sense of boundaries, causing him quite the headache.

"If you’re not feeling unwell, return to school immediately. You’re not supposed to be here."

Peach Bell didn’t care about any of that; she was only worried about the person she liked.

The two engaged in a tussle for quite a while, inadvertently falling into Nora Northwood’s view, especially the scene where Jasper pushed her away, from her angle, it looked like a dramatic portrayal of a deep embrace.

She left disappointed, mentally erasing the night’s stay at the guesthouse completely.

At that moment, she had no thoughts for work; as she passed by a coffee shop, she grabbed a cup of the recently popular "Sake Latte" intending to roam through the mall.

In recent months, she had been busy with work, sacrificing a lot of personal time.

Lost in thought, she bumped into a woman in a rush.

She hadn’t noticed the road, nor had the other woman.

The accident happened too quickly; Nora Northwood was pushed slightly, stumbling backward.
