The truth was that after all that had happened today, Carlos already knew how Nora thought and how much she loved him. Although he was still upset about what had happened before, he was more willing to forgive Nora than anything else.
His heart ached when he saw Nora this weak and in pain.
After a while, the car arrived in front of Nora's apartment building. Carlos wanted to bring Nora upstairs himself, but Stuart, who was sitting in front, said, "Mr. Carlos, Mrs. Leah has ordered me to drive you back as soon as I've dropped this lady off."
A look of impatience flashed on Carlos's face. "Well, what are you going to do now? Stop me?"
Nora's eyes filled with sadness. Although she did not want Carlos to leave, she said, "Since Auntie said so, you'd better go back. It's okay."
Before working for the Li Family, Stuart had served Leah's family. He was of great importance and prestige in the Li Family, and so Nora dared not offend him.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Nora. Mrs. Leah has specifically asked that you do not call her 'Auntie.' Please do not refer to her that way next time." Stuart looked at Nora through the rearview mirror as he spoke.
His words broke Nora's heart. She believed she had been humble and submissive enough, yet she still did not get the respect she thought she deserved. They really couldn't stand her.
Despite her growing anger, she kept her feelings in check. Carlos turned the other way. It was obvious that he was quite displeased and about to lose his temper. Enraged, he clenched his fists and pounded on the passenger's seat, shouting, "Stuart, you'd better behave yourself or else..."
Stuart didn't even blink. He smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Carlos, I'm only following Mrs. Leah's instructions. Please forgive me."
Once he had left the Zhou Family, his only task was to be loyal to Leah. He had been taking care of Carlos since the latter's childhood, and he loved him very much. However, this time, he thought that Carlos was making a mistake.
Instead of placating Carlos, Stuart's words only made the young man more furious. Carlos w

It might have been nothing but a funny story for some people, but for the Shen family and Xandria, this was a fatal blow. Cherish didn't read everything carefully, but as she browsed the article, she had a terrible feeling in her stomach that told her that more bad news was yet to come.
The gist was that Xandria had tried to seduce Dina's boyfriend, Perrin, in order to sabotage Dina's audition.
"What the hell is this?" Cherish exclaimed.
She clicked the audio recording that came with the article. To her shock, she found out that this was a recording of the conversation she had had with her brother the night prior. However, someone had edited the file to make it sound like they had had a different conversation altogether.
The audio clip began with Cherish saying, "Brother, are you really going to get together with Xandria? But what about Dina?"
Perrin seemed to say, "Well, I don't know. I have no choice. I'm deeply in love with Xandria now. It's her dream to become famous, so I'm going to help her get the role."
"But..."
"No buts. Dina and I got together when she was very young, and neither of us was sensible. Now, since Xandria has slept with me, I have to be responsible for her."
"Brother..."
When the recording finished playing, Cherish was stunned. She raised her head to look at Perrin and said, "Brother, that's not what we talked about!"
