Trustratum flared in her chest. She had no time for this.

Nora remained cold and distant, but Cole’s unexpected gentleness caught her off guard.
He explained that dealing with the car issue would take a considerable amount of time and offered to drop her off at the show first.
His calm and accommodating attitude was unlike the Cole she had known before.
He had always treated her as if she were invisible, and during their previous encounters, he had not been particularly kind.
In the past, he had given her a hard time at the races, showing no concern for her whatsoever.
Yet now, he was behaving differently, as if he had suddenly decided to be considerate.
The show was of utmost importance to Nora.

She had to admit, albeit reluctantly, that Cole had done her a loige favor.
As they walked deeper into the vene, they were captivated by the dazzling displays of jewelry.

She was just beginning to settle into the rhythm of networking when she suddenly locked eyes with Linda across the room.
Linda’s expression changed instantly.
The sight of Nora standing among the industry’s elite was heth shocking and infuriating to her.
She had not expected Nora to be present at such a high profile event, much less interacting with people of importance.

Around thein, influential guests had already taken notice of the tension.
Many people in the industry knew about the strained relationship between Linda and Nora
They were also aware of the power dynamics at play–Irld was associated with Arnold, the Alpha of Silver Moon Pack, while Nora had ties to Leo and
Studio STARLINE
Most chow to scramble to curry favor with Linda, but Nora ignored the men and continued to talk to her other business partners.
One of the businessmen with a sharp gaze looked at Linda, who was surrounded and flanked by the crowd, and said in a somewhat disdainful tone,
Do you see that woman over there? That’s Snow Moon Pack Alplu’s daughter, Linda. There are ruins that she’s Lana of the Silver Moon Gang, I really don’t know why Alpha Arnold would choose a woman like that.”
