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

Chapter 567: Warren Family Heir

Now, without Jasper Sinclair as a major patron, VK has undoubtedly lost a fortune.

Nora Northwood also needs to strictly control costs within the company.

Warren Family Mansion.

"Aunt Hutchinson, it turns out wearing haute couture out is truly an exercise."

The two agreed to continue addressing Aunt Hutchinson as such in public. Nora wasn’t ready to reveal this matter yet, to avoid gossip about her leaning on both Jasper Sinclair and Elaine.

In just half a year, she experienced the terrifying impact of real online harassment.

"You need to adapt; there are forty-nine more pieces waiting for you at Crimson Hill Villa."

Indeed, Elaine had bought a villa for Nora Northwood, occupying more than three times the area of a small mansion.

Nora couldn’t refuse such a generous offer, although she accepted, she hadn’t moved in.

Fifty pieces of haute couture had already moved in before she did.

The two walked hand in hand, one full of mature charm, the other youthful and elegant, attracting a crowd’s attention as soon as they entered the venue.

"Master Elaine, it’s great to finally have you here this year!"

Mr. Winslow approached with a champagne in hand. In his fifties and slightly balding, he had a friendly smile.

He was a bit different from what Nora imagined; she expected him to possess at least a trace of elegance to match such a distinguished surname.

"Mr. Winslow, don’t blame me. I’ve been preoccupied with work in recent years and just shifted my focus back home. Large and small matters alike require my personal attention, so I couldn’t make time before."

"You must attend next year. And this young lady is..." Mr. Winslow shifted his gaze to Nora.

People his age are astute; surely, he guessed that Elaine wanted to promote this young girl!

However, the girl looked familiar, as if he’d seen her somewhere before.

"Nora Northwood from VK Fragrances, a naturally gifted perfumer, will surpass me in a few years."

"Master Nora, a pleasure to meet you."

Being referred to as "Master" for the first time, Nora felt an odd sensation, like her toes might lift off the ground.

She politely responded, "It’s an honor to meet Mr. Winslow. I’ve prepared some small gifts for you and Mrs. Winslow, already handed over to the protocol officer. I hope you like them."

"Of course."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Winslow went off to greet other guests.

Elaine led Nora skillfully through the crowd, introducing each other’s identities.

After making a round, Nora had become a familiar face in the banquet hall.

She realized Elaine’s status was even higher than she had imagined.

...

Mr. Winslow’s age meant that most of the guests were contemporaries, over fifty years old; seeing someone as young as Nora was rare.

While she was briefly separated from Elaine, she somehow got pulled into a small group.

Surrounded by three or four girls, they were among the few young individuals at the entire party.

Girls naturally love gossip, and even well-bred ladies are no exception, especially when it comes to getting excited about young celebrities from the entertainment industry.

"I heard he was the top-selling star at YSL’s private show; rich women love the youthful vibe."

"I heard he’s gay!"

Nora rarely paid attention to the entertainment industry; her life was filled with work and perfumery. At this moment, she couldn’t make out which male celebrity they were discussing.

Suddenly, another abrupt voice interjected, "There are reporters outside, let’s keep the gossip down!"
