Chapter 18
This was the first time Cassidy saw Lenora lose her temper. After catching up, she meekly trailed behind Lenora, not daring to utter a single unnecessary word.
The two went straight to the underground parking lot, where Lenora finally stopped and turned to look at her. “Im going home
Her expression was very calm, so much so that even Cassidy couldn’t tell if she was feeling pain or not.
“Nora, you wouldn’t still be thinking about that bastard Harley, would you?” Cassidy probed.
As Lenora was just about to open the car door, she was amused by the question. “Are you insinuating that I’m a person who
returns to my ex
“No, absolutely no!” Cassidy shook her head vigorously.
“What are you giving me that look?” Lenora frowned.
“Umm… Nora, why don’t you take a look behind you?”
Lenora raised an eyebrow, turned around, and was momentarily stunned. But soon, she snapped back to reality. “Bye.”
She retracted her gaze and got into the car directly.
A short distance away, Harley radiated a palpable “stay away from me anger, with Matthew following closely behind. completely not daring to approach and get shot at.
Harley had just been put down by Lenora, and his mood was already quite bad. To add to it, upon reaching the parking lot. he heard her say something like that again, his current state of mind beyond just bad.
Cassidy, having caused trouble, was particularly timid now. Seeing Lenora get into the car, she quickly returned to her vehicle and drove off.
Only after the red Ferrari gradually receded into the distance did Harley lose his the slightly.
“Matthew!” he asked.
Matthew approached him nervously, hesitating, “Yes, sir?”
“Post a divorce statement online. If such things happen again in the future, no need to inform me. With that, he glanced at Matthew coldly.
Matthew could feel his scalp tingling, complaining inwardly. “This wasn’t my fault, and Lenora was innocent too. Married for three years, she hadn’t taken a single cent from the Brandt family. Now that they were divorced, she still had to face suspicion and humiliation.
If it were me, I might not have been able to hold back my anger toward Harley either. But hey, I wouldn’t have her courage. To his surprise, Matthew found himself developing a few strands of admiration for Lenora after this incident.
As soon as Lenora returned home, she saw Harley’s divorce statement Compared to Cassidy’s excitement, she only felt indifferent, skimming through it before exiting the webpage.

all called Carla or Gwer instead.
When she received the call. Gwen’s anger almost reached its peak, yet she dared not direct her fury at Harley, cursing Lenora with every call she huing up.

Katelyn wasn’t much better. Harley’s statement unleashed a frenzy. Whether true friends or fake ones, all called to inquire about the truth behind the matter.
How would I know what was going on? Katelyn cursed inwardly
Regardless of the uproar the statement caused, Lenora remained silent, and the incident gradually faded from public
attention.
The Hobart City in October had shaken off the lingering heat of summer, and the wind had turned cool. As soon as Lenora arrived at the airport, Cassidy’s call came through.
Lenora turned off the engine and picked up her phone to answer, “Just arrived.”
“Nora. I’m at exit All!”
“Got it.” Lenora responded casually, pulled out the car key, and walked out of the parking lot.
This period saw an unusually large crowd at the airport. Lenora waited before exit All, but despite several waves of people passing by, she didn’t see a familiar face.
Just as she was about to call Cassidy, Cassidy ran over from the crowd.
Without Linda around, she now felt like a caged bird set free.
“Noral” Cassidy hugged Lenora tightly. “It’s been over a month. Do you miss me?”
Lenora glanced at her, then shifted her gaze to the boy chasing after her. “Is this your new signed artist?”
Cassidy exclaimed softly. “Yes! Look at him! Eighteen years old! Such a fresh young hottie! But don’t be fooled by his look His temper is no joke. If I hadn’t paid enough, he might not have come back with me.”
Lenora pushed her away with one hand, joking, “Alright, maintain whatever little image you have left in front of the new Buy
That suggestion seemed to work quite well, as Cassidy quickly reverted to her regal and aloof image. She looked at the young hottie approaching and said, “Anthony, this is Lenora Maynard, my good friend”
However, her dignified demeanor lasted only a second. “Nora, this is Anthony Dextor, my newly signed artist,” she said, giving Lenora a few meaningful glances.
Lenora curved her lips into a smile, offering a neutral greeting. Nice to meet you.”
But the hottie was even colder in response, “Hello.”
Lenora found him quite interesting, so she raised an eyebrow and said, Tve booked a restaurant to welcome you back. Let’s
“Oh, Nora, that’s so thoughtful of you!” If there weren’t so many people around, Cassidy would have hugged Lenora and given her a few kisses
Lenora looked at her with a half-smile, teasing, Linda already told me you’re going on a show next week, and you’re pounds overweight. You need to control it.”

“Girl, do you have to be so ruthless?” Cassidy put on a crying face

“Or would you rather go on the show with a little belly? Lenora glanced at her phone, casting a significant glance down at Cassidy’s stomach.
“I was wrong. Nora. Vegetables and radishes suit me better. Cassidy replied helplessly.
“Good girl” A contented smile escaped Lenora’s face.
Since there was one more person today, Lenora didn’t drive her Ferrari but a Mercedes.
The car was a new purchase from last week, which Lenora used for business negotiations as the sports car wasn’t suitable for serious business occasions.
Cassidy opened her eyes wide, marveling. When did you buy a new car, Nora?”
“Last week.” Lenora opened the car door and walked around to the trunk. “Put the suitcases here, please.”
Anthony had three suitcases in his hands, and as expected, two of them belonged to Cassidy.
The eighteen-year-old boy’s face still carried the naivety of youth, and he was truly cold. “Sure.”
Lenora, who was not good at small talk, nodded and returned to the driver’s seat.
Afraid of being photographed, Cassidy had already gotten into the car and fastened her seatbelt.
As Anthony was still outside, Cassidy winked at Lenora. “How is he? Such a young face but with an iceberg vibe. Isn’t the contrast super cute?”
“You might want to tone it down. Dashnell is coming back tomorrow. Lenora gave her a disdainful glance.
Upon hearing Dashnell’s name, Cassidy became more subdued.
After Anthony got into the car, Lenora slowly started the car, heading back downtown.
