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

Chapter 682: Lost Face

Not far away, Megan Underwood held a young girl’s hand, squeezed to the front of the crowd, and shouted, "The evidence is right here."

The girl bowed her head, seemingly too ashamed to face her former mentor.

With that, all the accusations in the room were directed at Rachel Woodward alone.

She couldn’t believe it—why did Mina betray her?

"You took my money and now you’re turning on me? Have you gone mad?"

Mina looked panicked, continuously hiding behind Megan Underwood.

Megan stood up for her subordinate, "We don’t need your dirty money; taking advantage of someone’s mother being sick and making things worse—this is the Woodward Family’s way."

Originally, the spectators didn’t know where Rachel Woodward was from, but through Megan Underwood’s words, her name was immediately spread around.

One passes it to ten, ten to a hundred.

Stanton City, Woodward Family’s fragrance making.

Rachel Woodward never expected that the Woodward Family would make such a headline.

Her mind was a complete mess, and she was too ashamed to stay at the scene.

It was another perfumer from the Woodward Family who took her away, which prevented further development from getting worse.

Once the main character left, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Nora Northwood sat in the car, took a long time to steady herself, and then slowly let out a deep breath.

In the back seat were the silent Megan Underwood and Mina.

Mina picked at her nails with her fingers, not knowing what to say.

The vehicle’s only male occupant bore his anger, not kicking the instigator of all this out of the car.

Jasper Sinclair understood better than anyone else how bad Nora Northwood’s state was at that moment.

She was a very empathetic person, thought from other people’s perspectives, and cared about the thoughts of those around her.

From the beginning, Jasper Sinclair believed she didn’t fit the path of an entrepreneur, and the blows Nora Northwood suffered were far deeper than her outward appearance revealed.

However long it took, she finally adjusted her emotions, spoke without looking sideways, "Are you going to explain yourself, or should Manager Underwood speak for you?"

Nora wasn’t rushing to conclusions; she remembered Megan Underwood’s words at the event about hitting someone when they’re down.

She estimated there might be underlying issues.

As time ticked away, Mina apologized weakly, "Director Nora, this situation is my fault to you and the company, and I’m willing to bear all the consequences and losses."

"What do you have to bear?"

Nora felt a surge of emotions in her chest, trapped and unable to escape, causing her eyes to turn bright red.

Megan Underwood, unwilling to see her friend upset, pondered how to ease the mood, "Nora..." just as she spoke one syllable, she was interrupted.

Nora said, "Let her speak for herself, every word, without omitting anything."

Mina, frightened by her attitude, sobbed silently, her shoulders shaking but not daring to let tears fall.

Megan didn’t say anything further, pulled out two tissues, handed them to Mina, and signaled her to quickly explain the circumstances without dragging it out.

"A week ago, Rachel Woodward approached me, asking me to steal your formula book. She said she’d pay me a sum and arrange for my mom at the best hospital in the city.

My mom has severe heart problems; to raise treatment funds, we sold our house and car. I had no other choice but to take this crooked path."

...

Upon learning the reason behind it, Nora Northwood found herself at a loss for how to handle it.

She felt for Mina, yet resented what Mina had done.
