Chapter 216
Michael knew Nora too well. If he didn't take the initiative to force gifts on her, she would never think to spend his money.
Michael felt really insecure about Nora's refusal to spend his money. It made him uneasy.
When a woman doesn't care about a man's money, it really does make the man feel insecure.
It felt like Nora could leave at any moment.
Seeing Michael hang up the phone, Nora's heart raced.
Walking back into the store, Nora found Savannah still arguing with the supervisor.
"A broke person like you, what rich friends could you possibly have? Let me tell you, if you don't pass this month's evaluation, you're fired," the supervisor barked at Savannah.
"How many customers came to buy bags that I helped? I provided full service the whole time, and then you said because I'm new, you put the orders and sales under your own name. Now you're talking to me about evaluations?" Savannah wasn't someone to mess with either.
"You're a newbie. Those are all regular customers, so of course they're not yours."
"Stop fighting, you two." Nora stepped forward, trying to mediate.
"Get lost! A bunch of broke people." The supervisor looked at Nora with disgust, "If you care so much about your friend, why don't you buy a few bags and boost her sales?"
Nora froze for a moment and said nothing.
The supervisor figured Nora couldn't afford it. She looked plain from head to toe, didn't wear makeup, and used no cosmetics at all. Although she was naturally beautiful, in other people's eyes, she just looked cheap.
"Acting like something when you can't even afford it." The supervisor rolled her eyes, then turned around to see a customer in a slip dress and high heels, accompanied bya middle-aged man.
"Finally, you're here." In an instant, the supervisor's face changed completely.
Nora was stunned. Just moments ago she was so arrogant, and now she was being so flattering.
Savannah was amused by Nora's expression, "Never seen someone like this before? When they see rich people, they're nicer than when they see their own parents."
Nora closed her mouth, "That acting..."
"Forget about her." Savannah pulled Nora aside, "See that woman with sunglasses and a mask? That's Emma Kate, Pearl's cousin. The man next to her is Odette's husband. Odette will be here in ten minutes. Just wait and watch the show."
Nora took a deep breath, "What if they start fighting and your supervisor blames you?"
"So what? As long as I can help you." Savannah raised an eyebrow, "Let me tell you, I also found a friend who's a livestreamer with millions of followers. He'll pretend to pass by here and livestream everything online. Public opinion will blow up instantly."
Nora excitedly hugged Savannah, "Thank you so much. I've also found reporters."
She had also asked that person to help her find reporters.
She wanted to push the Clark family back into the eye of the storm of public opinion.
Before Nolan could make a move against Michael, she would ruin the Clark family's reputation first.
Nora didn't believe that after this, Nolan would still force Michael to confirm the arranged marriage with the Clark family.
Biting her lip, Nora was determined to protect her relationship with Michael.
At least, even keeping it for a little while would be good.
"Alright, let's stick to the plan." Savannah raised an eyebrow at Nora, signaling her to get ready.
Nora clenched her fists, looking determined.
Savannah smiled helplessly.
Actually, Nora had changed a lot since getting out of prison.
Maybe this is what it means to be with the right person.
Being with Michael, Nora's changes were really visible.
Like a withered flower that someone carefully nurtured, she was sprouting again.
"Nori, I hope you can bloom beautifully again." Savannah said meaningfully.
With Michael being such fertile ground, as long as he was willing to care.
Nora would bloom again someday.
"Honey, I love this bag. That little bitch in our crew has a bag more expensive than mine. It really pisses me off." Emma clung to the man, acting cute and pointing at a bag worth over a million dollars while being all flattering.
The man seemed to really fall for this act, extremely indulgent, "Buy it."
"Honey, I love you so much." Emma hugged the man and kissed him.
Nora was drinking water and choked on it.
This was way too fake.
Is this what people mean when they say men love women who act cute?
If she acted like this toward Michael, would Michael like her?
Just thinking about acting cute like this toward Michael gave Nora goosebumps all over.
She couldn't do it.
"Honey, I also like this bracelet. I have an event tomorrow and I don't have a single decent piece of jewelry to wear. People will laugh at you." Emma started acting cute again, practically glued to the man, hugging and clinging to him.
At the entrance, Odette had arrived and stood there, frozen for a long time.
That man leading around a young actress, hugging and touching her, spending money like water—that was the man she had spent four years in prison protecting.
For a moment, her vision went dark.
"Odette." Nora was worried and ran over.
The man also turned to look, gasping.
He instinctively pushed Emma away and rushed forward, "Odette."
Odette stepped back and slapped him across the face, "These years I've been gone, you've been living quite well."
"Odette, let me explain." The man had dirt on him that Odette knew, so naturally he couldn't completely fall out with her.
Emma was getting annoyed, "Honey, what are you afraid of? You're so rich, she's just an old hag without a penny. What can she do?"
"Shameless bitch!" Odette wanted to tear Emma apart.
The two sides started fighting.
The influencer outside took the opportunity to livestream, and the livestream chat instantly exploded.
You can catch this kind of drama just watching a livestream?
Soon, someone recognized Emma, "Isn't that Emma from the girl group that debuted last year?"
"It's her! Oh my god, she's someone's mistress!"
"You dare hit me! Do you know who I am?" Emma went crazy after being hit, yelling at Odette, "Do you know who my uncle is? Have you heard of the Clark family? My cousin is Aria, who's getting engaged to Michael, the CEO of the Smith Group!"
Emma lived up to expectations and revealed her identity.
Nora breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried Emma wouldn't reveal her identity and she'd need to use some tricks.
It turned out it wasn't difficult at all.
"Your sister is Aria?" Savannah deliberately raised her voice, "The Aria who's supposed to get engaged to Michael? Oh my god! That's the CEO of the Smith Group!"
Savannah's words made Emma very proud, "Yes! Now you know who I am? I want you to apologize to me right now!"
Emma wanted to hit back.
Odette looked at her man with red eyes, "The person who deserves to be hit most is actually you."
The man felt guilty and couldn't afford to offend either side.
"Aria is your sister; is this how the Clark family educates you, to be someone's mistress?" Odette turned around, looking at the reporters rushing in from outside, "Everyone look, she's a public figure, actually someone's mistress, and she's from the Clark family!"
Only then did Emma realize something was wrong. When did this mall have so many reporters? And they were all familiar faces from entertainment journalism.
This meant someone deliberately...
Not completely stupid, Emma looked at Odette in shock, "You set me up."
She frantically put on her mask and hat, but it was too late.
The topic of the Clark family teaching their daughter and niece to be mistresses, a family with completely wrong values, had already shot to the top of trending topics.
