Chapter 6: Jordy barely glanced at the business card lying on the ground, his voice dripping with arrogance.
Norah remained unfazed, dismissing Jordy's aggressive stance with ease.
"Sweetheart, just one night with me, and I'll make sure you live in opulence," Jordy offered.
Mesmerized by the gorgeous Norah before him, Jordy briefly disregarded the ache in his jaw and reached out to feel Norah's sleek shoulder.
Suddenly, the sound of a beer bottle hitting someone's head reverberated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone gasped as Norah slammed a beer bottle into Jordy's head, making blood trickle down his face immediately.
"Do my words mean nothing to you?" Norah asked, her tone icy.
Frustrated by the necessity for such extrmeasures, Norah's actions spoke volumes. Slessons are only learned the hard way.
The crowd was in disbelief.
If the earlier incident with Jordy's tooth loss was surprising, this deliberate act of aggression from Norah was shocking! Your next story starts here gVlnovals"Poor Jordy, he's probably going to give her a hard time." "Damn, is Norah always this bold? She just hit him on the head! It seems like that's her usual move! Cool!" "They check Jordy's fate." "That beer bottle broke, and Norah went all out! I wonder if he's got a bump on his head." Madeline held onto Derek's arm firmly and said, "Derek, with Norah completely getting on Jordy's bad side, if you step in to help her, you'll provoke the Smith family." Kathy echoed, “Exactly. Derek, why mess with the Carter family's interests for someone who doesn't matter? We'll only be in trouble if we upset the Smith family." Madeline added, "I trust Norah to handle Jordy her way. Why stress over her? Just wait, she's got something up her sleeve." As she gazed at the stunning Norah, Madeline took pleasure in imagining Jordy torturing Norah to death.
Jordy got smacked, and his head was spinning. He reached out, feeling woozy, and noticed the blood.
"Get a hold of this damned woman for me, now! She doesn't know any better. I'll teach her a lasting lesson right here!" Jordy yelled after regaining his senses a while later.
His face contorted horribly, blood trickling from his forehead. Bathed in the club lights, he resembled a demon from the depths of hell.
The crowd at the bar, familiar with Jordy's notorious reputation, marveled at Norah's bravery but pitied her. They all thought Norah wouldn't leave the Glamour Club unscathed for confronting Jordy.
The four hefty men who served Jordy quickly closed in around Norah, their imposing figures highlighting her frailty and vulnerability. Shad already turned away, unwilling to witness what was about to happen.
Unable to remain seated and indifferent, Derek stood up, shaking off Madeline's grasp. "The divorce procedure isn't done yet; Norah is still legally my spouse. I cannot just watch her be humiliated this way!" The memory of Norah's tearful fate from earlier today flashed in Derek's mind, reinforcing her vulnerability in his eyes. He thought she was too vulnerable, and he needed to rescue her.
Kathy and Madeline, each trying to deter him, insisted, “Norah brought this upon herself! Derek, think this through." "Dare to repeat your threats?" A confident and clear voice rang out as Joanna walked over, decisively thumping a tray onto Jordy's head. "How dare you lay a finger on my friend! Jordy, are you smoking? Even your damned brother needs to showsrespect. Who do you think you are?" Jordy's shock was palpable as Joanna moved to stand by Norah, speaking of their close bond.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinally, Jordy sensed his predicament.
Kathy watched from a distance. When she spotted the woman beside Norah, her expression turned to shock. "Isn't that the daughter of the Andrews family, one of the top families in Glophia? Are Norah and she acquainted? Since when are they friends?" Derek remained silent, puzzled by Norah's unexpected connection with the Andrews family, a detail he had been unaware of throughout their marriage.
Jordy's arrogance dissolved into fear at Joanna's intervention. His bold facade crumbled as he faced Joanna, pleading, "I'm so sorry. I had no idea she was your friend. Please show smercy and forgive me! Please, I am begging you..." Jordy bowed his head, fully understanding the weight of his earlier words. Had Joanna not appeared, he might have treated Norah terribly.
Jordy bowed down, but his actions were weak, filling the club with a chorus of apologies. Noticing the business card on the floor, the realization of his grave error deepened as he read "Bryson Andrews" on it.
Jordy's apologies grew even more earnest.
Just as Joanna was about to continue, Norah gently stopped her, looking at Jordy with disdain and saying, "Just get out of my face." Norah thought that someone so unimportant wasn't worth her time.
Joanna moved to kick Jordy, echoing Norah's sentiment. "Didn't you hear her? Get lost! Now!" "Alright, alright, I'm going," Jordy mumbled, nodding and repeatedly bowing as he got to his feet.
