Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 1410:noveldrama

Adrian stayed silent for a long while, his face unreadable. When he finally spoke, his voice was low but firm. “I won’t let anything happen to Mom. Norah promised to care for her, and she always keeps her word.”

That was the one redeeming quality Adrian acknowledged in Norah—she always followed through on her promises. But as for the money that Juliana gave her…

“Mom was never one to put all her money in one place. She must have set aside other savings somewhere else,” he said thoughtfully.

“Exactly. Juliana was always clever. Who knows how much she secretly saved when she was managing the family? If we can find it, that money could keep us afloat for a long time,” Sharon remarked. Her words planted a seed in everyone’s mind, even Kathy’s, sparking a flurry of quiet, greedy calculations.

Derek rubbed his chin, his expression contemplative. “If Grandma’s health improves after the hospital treatment, maybe she’ll speak again. Once she can talk, she might give the money to us willingly.”

Adrian clapped Derek on the shoulder. “Now you’re thinking smart. All we have to do is start showing her more care and attention. She’ll naturally be more generous if she feels loved and happy.”

The irony was bitter. They had all ignored Juliana after their downfall, leaving her to suffer alone. Yet, now that her savings were in the picture, they suddenly remembered the once-powerful matriarch she had been.

Meanwhile, Norah wasted no time. After returning, she arranged for Juliana to be admitted to Peace Ark Private Hospital. A bed was prepared, and Juliana was swiftly transferred. Norah also devised a treatment plan, ensuring every penny of Juliana’s money would be used appropriately.

Juliana had entrusted her with the sum of three hundred thousand. It wasn’t much by Norah’s standards now, but it was enough to cover Juliana’s treatment and care. Without hesitation, Norah already knew exactly how to put it to use.

Later that evening, Norah leaned against Sean, playing with his fingers. Suddenly, she inquired, “Sean, do you think, in the end, everyone fights for their own interests?”

She had seen enough in her circles—families that traded away their daughters for alliances, relatives who turned their backs on each other for wealth, and lovers who became bitter enemies over money.

“No, not everyone. Whatever you want, I’d give it to you, no questions asked,” Sean murmured.

His gaze softened as he looked at her. He had been wanting to say that since his proposal was accepted.

“What if I wanted your life?” Norah sat up slightly, wrapping her arms around his neck with a teasing glint in her eyes.

Her voice was low and sultry, her lips curling into a daring smile. “Would you give it to me?”

Sean caught her hand and placed his other firmly on her waist, pulling her closer. “If that’s what you want, my life is yours.”

Norah couldn’t hold back her laughter. She leaned into him, her shoulders shaking as she grinned.

“Haha! Sean, you were so serious. That line was so corny, I couldn’t keep a straight face!”

She had only been testing out a scene she remembered from a drama, curious how he’d respond. But his earnest reply caught her off guard. Could Sean secretly be a fan of cheesy dramas?

Sean cooed, “Honey, I’m not joking. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.”

Norah tilted her head, her lips curving into a mischievous grin. “Good thing I don’t have any bad intentions, or I’d have emptied the Scott family’s coffers by now.”

Her words were light, but the lesson she had learned from Nancy was etched in her mind. Someone who appeared innocent on the surface could easily harbor the darkest of hearts.
