Chapter 353
Behind her, Derek saw her sad face and felt heartbroken. He strode forward and pulled Nora up into his
arms.
Nora stiffened and subconsciously tried to struggle. Derek held her tighter, "Don't move."
The two of them hugged each other so intimately for the first time since they reunioned. Derek patted
her gently on the back, "Live here in the next few days. You don't need to go to the company for the
time being. Just take a vacation and spend more time with our son at home."
"Don't worry about the results. With me around, I won't let you suffer like this."
"It won't take long. I'll give you a satisfactory result."
His soft voice echoed in Nora's ears, and her stiff body gradually relaxed.
She could not deny that at this moment, this man gave her an indescribable sense of security, and all
her negative emotions just now dissipated.
This sense of security was too tempting, coupled with Derek's strong manner, so Nora could not refuse,
and she did not want to refuse at this moment.
Easton looked up at the two of them, rolled his eyes, and pursed his mouth, wanting to speak, but
Derek seemed to have felt something. With a look in his eyes, Easton immediately did not dare to
speak.
In the study.
Now, Nora completely calmed down. She knew that the most important thing now was not immersed in
her sadness, but to find a way to solve this problem.
"In the middle of that long time from the completion in the hospital to the submission of it, the possibility
of theft is too high. Do you have any suspicions in your heart?" Derek asked.
Suspect?
The first one that came to Nora's mind was Sheldon. She shook her head, trying to get the idea out of
her mind.
"Why? Who did you think of?"
She hesitated for a moment, thinking that there was no need to keep secret, and then said that
Sheldon had asked her to design the manuscript as a reference sample for the Design Department of
the Jones Group.
This was not the first time Sheldon had made such a request since she joined the Jones Group for a
year or two, so Nora did not take it to heart.
Derek was not surprised by this answer and said bluntly, "In this case of plagiarism, Sheldon is
obviously an important breakthrough."
Nora frowned and subconsciously defended Sheldon.
Derek was very upset, but did not show it, "Do you know who Aubrey is?"
She pursed her lips and shook her head. She looked serious. Obviously, she didn't like the woman who
copied her design and framed her.
"Aubrey is a designer. This is her information and some of her works. You can tell by reading them."
Derek handed her a document that he had already investigated.
Nora took it and read it page by page. Her face changed when she saw some of Aubrey's previous
works, especially her prize-winning works.
"No, this design? And this one..."
She was stunned and speechless as she stared at the composition of several works in the prize area. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
According to this document, there were three of her winning works.
But the point was, all three award-winning compositions were clearly her designs.
All three of them, none of them was an exception. She was speechless for a moment when she found
out such a terrible fact.
Derek did not expect that this Aubrey was actually an old lag, lifting from Nora over and over again, as
the cornerstone of her road to fame, this woman deserved to be die.
Of course, not only her, but Sheldon, neither of them could run away.
Nora was not very tough, but she was not a fool. She put so much effort into every design of her own,
and she remembered them very clearly.
These three prize-winning works, no, four, plus this one, one common thing was that they were all
samples that Sheldon asked her to design for the same reason.
At this point, even if she was stupid, she couldn't help but suspect Sheldon.
Nora's face changed. If the truth was really what she thought, then why? Why would Sheldon betrayed
her works, and why to this woman named Aubrey?
As if aware of her doubts, Derek took out another file bag and handed it to her, "This is something I
found out. You should understand it after you read it."
Nora was eager to know the truth and opened it without any hesitation. The file bag was full of photos,
thick stacks.
There were a man and a woman in each picture, the same two people, Sheldon and Aubrey.
When Nora saw these photos, she felt terrible. She flipped through them one by one with her fingers
trembling. They were all intimate photos of them two.
There were hugging, shopping, kissing, and even a variety of private photos on the bed at home.
She stared blankly at Derek, "These are..."
"They have been together for three years. Aubrey was abroad most of the time and rarely came back.
Sheldon was with her every time he went abroad."
"There were no pictures at the early stage. These are recent."
In other words, Sheldon had more than one romantic relationship at a time, being together with Nora at
home, and with this Aubrey abroad.
Looking at the intimate behavior of the two in the photo, she couldn't help but think of herself again. In
stark contrast, Sheldon and Aubrey were obviously more like a loving couple.
Because she and Sheldon had been together for five years, but they spent very little time together.
Even if they were together, the two of them were more like friends, only hugging and holding hands.
Five years was neither too long nor too short. Nora couldn't combine the man in the picture with the
gentle person in her mind.
She clutched the photo in her hand so tightly that she couldn't help but feel angry at Sheldon for
proposing to her and giving her gifts when he returned home.
It was not until this moment that Nora realized that she might never really know Sheldon.
"I want to go out." Her voice was calm.
Derek knew where she wanted to go. He narrowed his eyes unhappily. But he knew that Nora would
not listen to him, so he could only agree. Anyway, with his men secretly following her, she would not get
hurt.
He asked his driver to send Nora where she wanted to go, and of course, the driver had to wait and
pick her up. Nora didn't refuse, and she didn't have the energy to worry about these details right now.
As soon as she got in the car, she called Sheldon to meet him.
Sheldon's injuries were almost healed. He had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday, and it
had been so many days since he proposed to Nora last time. During this time, she didn't call him once,
which made Sheldon very angry.
