Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 770: She Made Him Bleed with a Bite
"Jasper Sinclair, I urge you, right now, to get off me!"
How could the man possibly listen?
When Jasper Sinclair’s lips descended once more, Nora Northwood unhesitatingly opened her mouth and bit down.
The taste of blood spread between their lips, allowing both of them to regain some sense.
Nora took advantage of Jasper Sinclair’s momentary daze to slip out from underneath him.
Jasper reached out to grab her, but Nora didn’t hesitate, grabbing something from the bedside table and hurling it at him.
It was the glass she used last night to drink water, crashing straight onto the man’s shoulder.
"Hiss—"
Jasper Sinclair glared angrily at Nora Northwood.
Perhaps his gaze was too frightening; it made Nora shrink back, unwilling to meet his eyes.
"How can you be so ruthless?"
"I should have been even harsher, maybe smash it right on your head—maybe then you’d regain your memory."
People are naturally rebellious; the more you force them to do something, the less they want to do it.
For Jasper Sinclair now, everyone hopes he’ll quickly regain his memory, unintentionally adding a certain pressure, making him increasingly reject the memories of the past.
The stalemate was finally broken when Uncle Kevin acted as mediator, inviting them downstairs to eat.
Nora sincerely persuaded, "Uncle Kevin has watched you grow up; don’t make the old man worry."
Hence, Jasper Sinclair was the first to go downstairs.
He assumed Nora would come down quickly, but he was proven wrong.
...
After everyone left, Nora collapsed onto the floor again, making sure to lock the door from the inside.
She certainly didn’t want the earlier "incident" to happen again.
She curled up in the middle of the bed, her empty gaze fixed on a wall. There was nothing on the wall, yet she stared at it for a full ten minutes.
It seemed as if a flower could be seen.
Nora’s long-held tension gradually eased; she absolutely wouldn’t let today’s events pass!
However, before doing so, she needed to clarify one thing: whether Peach Bell was really in Elaine’s hands.
Elaine was not in Stanton City recently; she was helping Old Master Hutchinson with some business.
Nora hadn’t visited her grandfather in a long time, planning to take this chance to see him and, conveniently, stay away from the lunatic Jasper Sinclair!
Thus, this trip could be seen as killing three birds with one stone.
Before leaving, she hesitated whether to inform Elaine in advance.
She reconsidered, realizing a call would inevitably lead to nagging, so she decided to wait until they met face to face.
Nora bought a flight ticket for nine o’clock the next morning, planning to head directly to the airport after getting up; a short trip didn’t require special packing.
Therefore, she informed the driver a night early to avoid delaying the next day’s journey.
Actually, Nora had another private motive; she wanted to use this opportunity to calm herself for a while.
Since returning from Melbourne, her mind had been unsettled, filled with distractions, preventing her from living well and working diligently.
The source of distractions was entirely Jasper Sinclair, so she naively believed that "out of sight, out of mind"—away from the source, her mind could calm down.
Little did she know that her temporary departure from Stanton City had already been conveyed to Jasper Sinclair through someone else’s mouth...
