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

Chapter 600: Don’t Touch My Wound

Soon, the room started to fill with the smell of iodine, which was unpleasant.

Once everything was done, Jasper Sinclair dialed the internal phone line, asking Uncle Kevin to take away the medical kit from the bedroom.

Upon seeing Nora Northwood’s wound, Uncle Kevin asked with concern, "Madam, do you need me to call the family doctor for you?"

"It’s just a small injury, it doesn’t matter, no need to call a doctor."

Nora Northwood glanced at the wound and smiled politely at Uncle Kevin.

Then, Uncle Kevin stepped out.

"Click—" was the sound of the door being gently closed.

Jasper Sinclair shed his coat, placed his hands on either side of Nora Northwood, leaving no room for her to react, and directly sealed her lips, savoring the moment.

In the heat of the moment, someone accidentally touched the wound, causing her to push him away instantly with a hiss, "It hurts, Jasper."

"I won’t touch it, I won’t touch it," Jasper Sinclair soothed her like a child, pacifying her complaints before getting up to pour some water.

"Drink some water, I’ll find a clean towel to help you wash up. Here or in the bathroom?"

"Let’s go to the bathroom."

"Wait for me, I’ll help you there."

Nora Northwood watched the man’s busy back, swallowed a mouthful of warm water into her stomach.

...

The exhibition was imminent.

The perfume industry’s war was on the brink.

The Woodward Family had invited perfumer Rora from abroad, releasing a product named "Velvet," a woody and sweet fragrance.

Upon close inspection, it smelled very similar to one of VK’s products.

To be accurate, it’s the combination of spices and lavender, a dual stimulation of spicy and aromatic scents, layers of lingering fragrance.

"Isn’t this plagiarism of our product?"

Lily Sloan complained indignantly in the chairman’s office.

Compared to her agitation, Nora Northwood appeared much calmer.

"Without concrete evidence, it’s just a similar scent, there’s no way to determine plagiarism."

To be honest, when Andrea Miller switched to the Woodward Family, Nora Northwood had predicted this would happen.

It’s an inevitable business war, only to see which side employs more righteous means.

Rora’s move can be seen as an open declaration of war.

First, poaching talent from VK, then developing similar products... Considering this, Nora Northwood made a temporary decision.

Perhaps she should talk to VK’s perfumers, to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Her efforts alone wouldn’t suffice, so she called Megan Underwood to join her.

It’s already early March, the beginning of spring, where scenes of new buds breaking the soil were evident everywhere.

The city was filled with the scent of freshly turned earth, and gardeners were ready to sow seeds again.

A week before the exhibition started, Yvonne Winslow booked first-class tickets for those heading to Paris.

Initially confirmed were Nora Northwood, Megan Underwood, Shane Hamilton, Noah, and Lily Sloan.

Among them, Noah was fluent in both Chinese and French, serving as a translator, and in addition, two more translators were hired.

This business trip’s return date was uncertain, requiring at least a week’s stay in Paris.

The first-class and hotel expenses combined were quite substantial.

Nora Northwood found an opportunity to inform Jasper Sinclair, whose focus wasn’t on work but rather: "Why are you going to be apart again?"

"We’ve hardly ever been apart, but when you say it, it sounds like we’re frequently living in different places."

"Earlier this year, you went to the neighboring city for several days, and we didn’t see each other."

Reflecting on this, Nora Northwood remembered her grandfather.

Since their last separation, the grandfather and granddaughter hadn’t seen each other, and due to work, contact was infrequent.
