Mrs. Hawn, Your Disguise Was Penetrated

Chapter 54 - 51 This Amount Of Money Is Nothing To Me

Nora raised her eyes and looked towards the door of the conference room.

It was Madge and Ashley who appeared in the doorway.

Although Madge was over 40 years old, she wore her years well and still had her charm. She was dressed in a purple Chinese dress, which set her whole person off in a noble and elegant way.

At the moment, Madge's face, however, looked furious.

Asher had not come home last night. Ashley had made breakfast for Asher first thing in the morning but had come back with her eyes red.

Ashley complained to Madge that she had gone to bring Asher breakfast, but Nora had pushed her to the ground and spilled her breakfast and that Nora had even said a lot of nasty things.

This was not all, Asher had even been injured when he defended Nora from a knife.

Ashley added highly-colored details to the story, which made Madge so anxious that she wanted to call Asher to ask about his injury, but Ashley stopped her, "Auntie, my cousin didn't want me to tell you about it. If he knew I told you secretly, he would be angry. Don't worry, his injury is just a superficial wound. it is not a big deal."

After a pause, Ashley added fuel to the fire again, "But it was really dangerous! If it wasn't for saving Nora, how would Asher have been injured? Luckily, Asher was not seriously injured this time, but with Nora around, there is no guarantee of the next time..."

"Nora, the bumpkin! She's such a disaster! Let's see how I will get rid of her!" Madge didn't like Nora in the first place, and at Ashley's instigation, she came to the Hawn Group with Ashley in full fury.

Madge looked around the conference room and saw that in addition to Nora, the president of French Lady Fashion was also there, so she refrained from losing her temper and lowered her voice, "Nora, come out here!"

Seeing that Madge and Ashley had come in an unfriendly manner, Nora stood up and said calmly with a frown, "What's the matter? I'm in a meeting right now. If you have something to say to me, please wait for me outside."

"Nora, you..."

Without waiting for Madge to finish her words, Nora closed the door of the conference room straight away and locked it, "Excuse me, Mr. Bruce, let's continue."

Nora opened the plan and gave Bruce a detailed introduction, "This is about the capital needed for mass production of 'Ice and Fire' as well as manpower, raw materials and so forth. I have made a detailed statement."

Nora presented them one by one to Bruce, who nodded his head repeatedly, "Good, very good."

Meanwhile, outside the conference room, Madge and Ashley had been driven out by Nora and Madge was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "Okay! I'll wait for her!"

"Auntie, don't be so angry." Ashley said sweetly, "Nora is going too far. You are an elder anyway. How could she treat you like that? She just looks like an uneducated hick who doesn't deserve to be a part of our family. My cousin must have been bewitched by her!"

The coldness glinted in Madge's eyes. She said firmly, "I won't let Asher marry such a woman!"

Madge and Nora waited for two hours before Nora finished her meeting with Bruce.

When the door to the meeting room opened and Bruce walked out with his assistant, Madge and Ashley immediately walked in in an aggressive manner.

"Nora, how did Asher get hurt?" As soon as Madge saw Nora, she raised hell with her.

"Go and ask him." Nora was gathering up her papers without looking up, looking as if she did not care at all.

Ashley was really annoying. She had not only gone to Water Moon Island to look for trouble in the morning but also brought Madge to the Hawn Group to make unwarranted charges. It was so boring!

"Auntie, I have asked the security guard and it was because of Nora that my cousin was injured." Ashley glared viciously at Nora, "If it wasn't for her, how could Asher have gotten hurt!"

"You are just a jinx and you will get Asher killed sooner or later. I will not let you stay by his side and harm him any longer!" Madge's face was full of anger. The more she looked at Nora, the more displeased she became.

She just didn't get it. Howard used to be a big shot in the business world. How could he have taken a fancy to Nora, a bumpkin, and insisted on Asher getting married to her?

Even Asher's attitude towards Nora had changed recently. He had defended Nora several times and obviously had the intention of accepting Nora. He did not even take the words of his mother seriously.

Nora looked up at Madge as she picked up her laptop and said in a way neither servile nor overbearing, "Mrs. Hawn, please get it clear that Sarah was the one who stabbed Asher. If you want to blame the troublemaker, go blame Sarah, and if you want to settle the score, go to Sarah. I am now occupied with my work, so please don't bother me."

"Nora, you!" Madge was livid because of Nora's eloquence.

"Here is fifty million dollars. Just take the money and leave as soon as you can. I don't want to see you anymore!" Madge slapped a check on the table and said in an overbearing manner, looking at Nora with disgust in her eyes.

Fifty million dollars?

Nora smiled to herself. How generous Madge was in trying to get rid of her.

However, this trick would not work on her.

Seeing that Nora remained silent, Ashley thought she was stunned by the amount of money and said sarcastically, "Nora, look carefully, this is fifty million dollars and you have never seen so much money, have you? Honestly, you will never make this much money in your lifetime! Why don't you just grab the money and leave quickly?"

"Fifty million dollars huh?" Nora sneered as she looked down coldly at the check in front of her and reached out to take it up.

"Take the money and get lost as soon as possible! Don't ever mess with Asher again!" Madge saw that Nora had taken the check and had no disguise of her contempt and disgust in her eyes.

She thought to herself, "A hick is indeed a hick, who can be easily tempted by money."

It was better this way. At least she could get rid of Nora with money so that she would not have to see her again. Out of sight, out of mind.

But the next second, Nora tore up the check in her hand, smashed it into Madge's and Ashley's faces, and said with contempt in her tone, "Sorry, Mrs. Hawn, this amount of money is nothing to me."

"Nora, you are so shameless!" Ashley was hit in the face by the check and her face twisted in anger.

What did Nora mean? Fifty million dollars was nothing to her? Did she even want to marry Asher?

Well, it was true that once she married Asher and became the mistress of the Hawn family, she could have a lot more than just fifty million dollars.

Madge's face changed again and again and she stared at Nora as she asked, "Make a price. How much will it take for you to leave Asher?"

"I will leave, but not now." Nora narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "It's up to me as to when to leave. Don't worry. I don't care about your family, including Asher!"

After saying this, Nora stopped talking to Madge and Ashley, picked up her laptop bag, turned around, and walked out of the conference room.

No sooner had Nora stepped out of the front door than she ran head-on into a wall of hard flesh.

"Ouch, it hurts..."

Nora gasped, rubbed her aching forehead, raised her eyes, and saw a familiar handsome face, which was so handsome that it took her breath away.

Nora looked surprised, "Asher? When did you come over?"
