She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Liam thought that Royce was here to visit him, so he even felt faintly like something fantastic had just fallen into his

lap-but he never expected Royce to simply walk past him and stride right up to Nora!

Liam was stunned.

When he turned around, he saw the man, who was high up in the air in the company, ask, “Ms. N… Ms. Lisa, why

are you here? Does Ma’am know?”

Liam: י??“

The handsome and cheerful boy was utterly stunned.

He stared at Royce in disbelief.

What did he just say?

He swallowed.

“Ms. Lisa”? “Ma’am”? Why was he speaking so politely as though her position was above his?

The only person whom Royce would address as “Ma’am” was the boss of NTT. Why was he asking Lisa about her?

Liam’s thoughts were in a mess. He couldn’t figure out what was going on at all.

He stared blankly at Royce and then at Nora. For a while, he felt like he was dreaming.

Nora sighed a little the moment she saw Royce.

It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to conceal this identity of hers in front of Liam anymore.

She broke into a small frown. She first nodded slightly at Royce, motioning to him to wait a moment. Then, she

looked at Liam and said, “Please keep my identity a secret.” Liam nodded dumbly.

Then, Nora looked at him again and asked, “So, can you let me have a private word with Royce?”

Liam: “!!”

He looked at Royce.

When Liam first joined the company, he had seen Royce high up in the air. He was surrounded by people when he

walked past Liam. He hadn’t even spared him a glance.

At that time, Liam had told himself that he must work hard to climb the ladder into the department and become

Royce’s subordinate! And become someone like Royce!

But the goal he was struggling in life to move towards was instead standing humbly in front of Lisa with a respectful

look on his face. In fact, the man, who had never even spared him a glance before, was even giving him a

somewhat ingratiating smile right now.

Liam knew that this was all because of Lisa.

In his trance, he nodded and walked into his house.

After closing the door, he couldn’t hear what Lisa and Royce were saying anymore. However, at this distance, he

could still see Lisa saying something to Royce in a low voice and Royce nodding repeatedly.

This huge reversal of roles made Liam hang his head in disappointment.

He was an honest man, so he wanted to climb higher grounds with his own efforts. Even when Fred was bullying

him the other time, he hadn’t felt anything and had just thought that this was something that a man should do.

But at this moment, seeing Lisa’s sudden transformation from someone who needed his help to someone high up in

the air, he couldn’t help but sigh. In this world, a person’s social status was simply too predisposed to change.

–

“Don’t tell my aunt.”

Nora ordered, her voice extremely frosty.

Royce gave her a wry smile. “Ms. Nora, this… If Ma’am finds out, I’m afraid I will be punished.”

Nora said, “It’s fine. I’ll get Cherry to bail you out when that happens.”

“Okay! Then it’s all a-okay. With Ms. Cherry around, there absolutely won’t be any problems with Ma’am. What are

you doing here though, Ms. Nora?”

Royce had come especially for Nora’s promise.

One was his boss while the other was the future successor. He didn’t want to offend either.

But if he informed his boss straightaway, Nora would definitely get angry, so it was imperative that he came to ask

for instructions and also get a guarantee from her.

Royce was very shrewd. Cherry’s significance to his boss was incomparable to everyone else.

At this question, Nora said, “You don’t need to bother with my affairs. Just make sure you do your job well and that

would do.”

Royce immediately lowered his head slightly in deference. “Okay.”

Then, he gave Nora his promise and said, “I will definitely handle Professor Myers’ project well, I won’t let anyone

block his funds. And Liam, too. I will also promote him when the time comes. Ms. Nora, are you planning to set up

your own team in the company?”

The successor would surely need a new team, so Royce had misunderstood.

Upon hearing this, Nora glanced to the side.

Liam was standing in front of the window and staring at her with a complicated expression. However, the scorching

idolizing look in his eyes was impossible to hide.

That was what a young man who had just graduated from school should look like—full of hope for his career,

enveloped in passion, and dying to break out into the world.

Nora thought of how Liam stayed by Rene’s side and had never abandoned her. She also thought of how she had

specially done a background check on Liam because she was worried that he had brainwashed Rene and was

emotionally manipulating her but found that he had a clean family background.

From kindergarten all the way to university, there were photos from every stage of his life. There was no way

anyone could fake that.

Therefore, after a moment’s thought, Nora replied ambiguously, “You can try putting a little more effort into

grooming him.”

Liam was kind-hearted and a good person.

He had even dared to speak up for her at the university. From that, one could see that the young man did have the

passion to make achievements. People like him were capable, so it would also be beneficial for NTT to train and

groom him.

Royce nodded right away. “No problem.”

After the two reached an agreement, Nora instructed Royce not to disturb her if there was nothing important. Only

then did Royce leave subserviently.

After Royce left, when Nora was about to enter her house, Liam suddenly opened his door and walked out. He

looked at her blankly as he said, “L-Lisa… um…”

He wanted to say something but he didn’t know how to put it into words. In the end, he simply said, “About the

incident with Fred the other time… Thanks!”

He had finally understood. It wasn’t because of his luck that something had happened to Fred; rather, it was Nora

who had given the company a heads-up!

Nora looked at him. Suddenly, her lips curled into a smile and she replied, “You’re welcome. You can just let Rene

keep my children company a little more.” Liam: “…”

He thought back to what he’d said just now about how she didn’t need to thank him and that it would do if they just

spent a little more time with Rene. Liam’s face suddenly started to burn. He scratched his head and smiled at her

naively.

The naive young man couldn’t help but always think that he was the hero of the world and that it was his good

fortune to be appreciated by his boss. It was only now that he realized that his real luck was getting to know Nora.

After Royce left, he got into the car.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed Fred approaching

Mrs. Long was still living here for the time being. Her son had not only suddenly lost his job but he couldn’t even find

a job in the industry anymore. She had no place to go for the time being. Thus, Cindy, the landlord, had given her a

few more days to find new accommodation before she moved out.

Nora didn’t have much to say about this.

After all, Mrs. Long was busy looking for a job, so she didn’t have the time to bully Cherry anymore. It wasn’t like

Nora would only be satisfied after she drove them into a dead corner.

Fred’s job search had also been very difficult. At NTT, he was already a senior executive, so now that he was

restarting as a low employee, not many companies were willing to hire him. Even if there were some that were

willing, they offered a very low salary. He wanted to go back to NTT but he was told that he had offended someone.

Who on earth had he offended? He only punished Liam recently but he had already investigated the young man’s

family background a long time ago. There was no way he would have such connections!

When he came back all down and dejected, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Royce’s car, which instantly stunned

him on the spot.

It was Royce!

He was a company leader who stood above all but one!

Why was he here?

Could it be that…

Fred swallowed and entered the garden. When he did, he happened to see that Nora hadn’t gone into her house

yet…

During the last two days after he returned home, his mother had pointed at Nora’s door and complained to him.

She said that the woman, who just moved in, had bullied her. She had told him a lot, such as how she was taking

care of three children even though she was all by herself.

Fred had been busy looking for a job, so he hadn’t had time to give them trouble yet. He was just so planning to

make trouble for them today!

But when he thought of Royce’s car, the stunned man blurted, “Was Royce here for

you?”

Nora: “??”

She raised her brows.

It didn’t matter that Liam had found out about her identity because he would keep the secret for her, but Fred and

Mrs. Long were not good people. If they found out, Nora wouldn’t be able to keep her identity a secret anymore.

But Royce had just left and she was out in the garden…

Nora glanced to the side. When she saw Liam, she pointed at him calmly and replied, “He was here for him.”

Liam: “!!”

Fred was already looking at him.

Faced with his former supervisor’s gaze, Liam swallowed. After a while, he nodded and pretended to say calmly,

“Yes, he was here for me…”

Fred was utterly stunned. He suddenly thought of how he had been fired just when he was going to punish Liam.

He was even told that he had offended someone he shouldn’t have. Wouldn’t that precisely mean Liam?

Thus, he reacted very quickly and rushed over. He said, “Liam… no, Mr. Martin, you know what they say about how

friends begin as enemies. We just got off on the wrong foot, that’s all. I’m sorry for what I did to you in the past.

Should I get down on my knees? Spare me! I really can’t find a job now and my family will be out of food next

month! I have elderly and children in my family…”

Liam: “…”

He looked at Nora in alarm and uncertainty.

Seeing that he was staying quiet and looking at Nora, Fred also looked at her. He thought of what Mrs. Long had

done and hurriedly said, “Ms. Lisa, I’m sorry, my mother only bullied you because her younger sister wants to move

here. She wanted to rent the house that you’re living in, that’s why she wanted to drive you away. I’ll apologize to

you, okay?”

Nora already knew this a long time ago, so she was unmoved.

At this moment, Mrs. Long also came home. With her cell phone in hand, she ranted as she walked.

“If you’re not coming, then why send me a message saying that you want to? You asked me to rent a place for you

and even said that you want to live with me? I almost drove my neighbors away because of you. Now you’re telling

me that it wasn’t you? That you didn’t send me any messages? Ha, how can that be? My chat messages are all

right here!”

Fred was dumbfounded. He looked at Mrs. Long and asked, “Mom, did she say she isn’t coming anymore?”

Mrs. Long was furious. “Yeah! I thought she was coming today, so I called and asked where she was, but now she

says that she never sent me any messages asking me to rent a house for her! Has she become muddleheaded

from old age?”

“Mom! How can you get something like this wrong?!” Fred was aghast. In order to rent that house, he’d offended

someone he shouldn’t have and even lost his job!

“No, Fred, I didn’t make a mistake! It’s your aunt who’s being inexplicable! I’m serious, look! The chat messages are

all here!”

Mrs. Long hurriedly took out her cell phone and handed it to Fred.

Just as Fred was about to look at it, a slender hand suddenly reached over.

Nora stared at the chat messages on Mrs. Long’s phone. Two days before she arrived, Mrs. Long had received a

message on her cell phone asking her to help with renting a house.

After that, the person chatted with her every day and pressed her about the house.

But Nora could tell at a glance that the tone of these chat messages was different from that of the previous

messages! Her phone had been hacked!

Nora’s eyes narrowed.

She had never been one to think that such things were mere coincidences!

Someone must be up to no good behind the scenes!

But who was it?!

She took Mrs. Long’s cell phone and went into her own house.

Mrs. Long shouted anxiously, “Hey, what’s the matter with you? Are you stealing my phone?!”

But before she could go on, Fred stopped her.

After Nora entered the house, she took out her own cell phone and easily hacked into Mrs. Long’s. Then, through

the text messages, she began to track down the other party!

She wanted to know who was plotting against them! And what their objective was!
