CHAPTER 864: CHAPTER 864: WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO SWEET TALK?

"Since when did you start speaking sweet words?" Nora’s lips curved slightly, with a faint smile.

"This isn’t sweet talk, I’m just describing a fact."

Midway through lunch, Nora brought up a name that shouldn’t have been mentioned and asked, "How’s her situation now?"

In reality, she wasn’t genuinely concerned about Peach Bell’s health.

She just wanted to probe Jasper’s attitude, and the probing was obvious.

One shouldn’t fall twice in the same place, and Nora wouldn’t allow a young girl’s interference to shatter her emotions; it would be truly humiliating.

However, Jasper didn’t directly answer the question but instead asked back, "Aren’t you very annoyed with her? Why ask about her?"

Upon hearing this, Nora paused her action of picking fish bones, "Why? Does my question make you feel guilty?"

Jasper worried she might overthink, so he stopped discussing other things, "I don’t know how she is either; I haven’t checked on her since before I went to Solara to find you. She called me twice, but I didn’t answer."

Nora uttered an "Oh," without expressing anything further.

Jasper thought she might still be upset about it and continued, "If you mind, I can have Louis arrange for her and Liam to go abroad—is that okay?"

After speaking, he carefully observed Nora’s expression, fearing any trace of discontent from her.

Nora said, "Arranging it might cost quite a bit this time. I dislike those siblings, but I don’t want my money spent on them. It’s fine if you don’t interfere anymore. Let them be."

"Alright."

Jasper keenly felt joy in his chest.

After the meal, Nora went upstairs to grab a coat, readying to head out with Jasper.

The pale blue Chanel coat gave off a wealthy heiress vibe; if she admitted it voluntarily, few would believe she’s already married.

On the way to the mall, Nora asked, "Who’s likely attending today’s auction?"

"The circles from Hong Kong and Macau, some have business dealings with The Sinclair Group. You’re probably not familiar with them. I’ll introduce you to a couple of female entrepreneurs later; they might have collaboration opportunities with VK."

With this said, Nora understood.

Was he trying to compensate her?

Half a month ago, Jasper ruined two of her deals to bring her back to Stanton City.

Nora suddenly asked, "If—I mean if—I hadn’t returned to Stanton City with you, would you have kept targeting VK?"

"I don’t know." For Jasper, this question was quite puzzling. "At the time, I was grasping at straws, unable to think of a better or faster solution, especially when I heard you were with Vincent Morgan. Reflecting afterward, indeed, I was too aggressive."

"Acknowledging your own mistakes, you can be taught!"

After this matter was exposed by Nora, the lost partners approached VK again.

Considering it carefully, the impact on VK wasn’t that major.

Nowadays, VK is no longer the small workshop it was two years ago, vulnerable to bullying.

In The Perfumery Circle, Nora is already a figure of influence, with a certain impact even in the international market.

All this is the result of her continuous hard work day and night, leading her to cherish everything about VK and tolerate no one in destroying the fruits of her diligence.
