CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 857: CAN YOU REALLY STAND BY AND DO NOTHING?

The vehicle pulled over at the street opposite VK. Nora Northwood got out, followed closely by Jasper Sinclair who opened the door from the other side.

"Nora."

Nora looked at him, puzzled, "Is there something else?"

After waiting all morning and throughout the journey, there was still no reasonable explanation.

Now that they’ve reached the company entrance, what else is there to say?

In the next moment, Jasper raised his arm and placed it on Nora’s shoulders, saying very seriously, "I’ve already sent Peach Bell back to her brother. From now on, I won’t get involved in any matters concerning her."

Upon hearing this, Nora had little reaction, responding lightly, "I’ve heard these words more than once from your mouth."

"Previously, I was indecisive, always thinking there could be a solution where everyone wins. Everyone makes mistakes, Nora, you can’t deny me even the chance to make mistakes."

"When reasoning doesn’t work, you’ve switched to moral coercion?"

"You know, that’s not what I mean."

Nora: "..."

A year and a half ago, Jasper Sinclair had the same thought, assuming everything he did made logical sense, unaware that in matters of the heart, there is no logic.

Nora didn’t feel that her forgiveness could lead to Jasper’s change.

So, she left him with these words: "First, take your hand off my shoulder. We’re at the company entrance. Once you’re back, you better think about whether you can really ignore it if Peach Bell has another incident, cries, makes a scene, threatens suicide, or gets kidnapped."

After speaking, Nora realized her words weren’t pleasant, so she added, "I don’t mean to curse her, just stating the facts."

"Nora, I can do it."

Jasper’s reply was so quick it seemed unbelievable.

Nora organized his subsequent words, "Don’t rush to say you can. Put yourself in the situation and think. Once you have a definite conclusion, then we can talk about other things, it’s not too late."

In fact, this question had crossed Jasper’s mind hundreds of times, but he never found the right opportunity to discuss it with Nora.

After parting, Nora walked into the VK building without looking back.

A ceaseless flow of greetings sounded in her ears, and she smiled politely.

In front of others, she always maintained a noble and elegant demeanor.

In the office.

Yvonne Winslow, in high heels a few centimeters high, unyieldingly reported the day’s agenda.

At the end, retreating from her businesslike tone, she apologized, "Disrupting your travel plans is due to my yet-to-improve problem-solving ability."

Nora hadn’t expected Yvonne to bring this up again. Ultimately, it had nothing to do with her; instead, due to her own causes, Yvonne’s workload had unnecessarily increased.

As the saying goes, one’s family scandal shouldn’t be revealed to outsiders.

Nora naturally wouldn’t leak the connection with Jasper.

Although Yvonne was her own person, issues that ought to be avoided should still be avoided.

She then responded kindly, "The factory’s attitude is unpredictable. This matter serves as a lesson for us. During this time, it might be hard on you to find a reliable factory partner. After finishing, you can decide between paid leave or a commission increase."

Yvonne was shocked, almost unable to believe she could profit amidst disaster!
