Chapter 347
Her life five years ago didn't seem happy or settled.
What was she thinking now?
No matter what happened five years ago, at least in her memory, it was Sheldon and the Joneses that was nice to her and gave her a second life, wasn't it?
"Nora, you can't be so selfish. Are you going to ignore what the Joneses did for you because of Derek?" She thought.
She suddenly regained her senses and realized that Sheldon was already standing in front of her. He gently held her hand, "Nora, will you marry me?" As he spoke, he took out the ring and picked up her right hand. He was about to put it on her finger without waiting for her answer.
Derek's face was cold in the crowd. Easton looked anxious and fixed his eyes on the ring.
Derek had a thin blade between his fingertips, and he prepared the strength on his waist. He thought evilly, " I'll cut off Sheldon’s hands if he dares to put the ring on Nora's finger. He will never hold the ring again.”
Nora stared at the ring and watched as it drew closer and closer to her finger. Her heart thumped, and she withdrew her finger in an instant.
Sheldon was stilted.
No one expected this at such a critical moment. The crow thought that he was about to succeed The noises quiet down.
Derek narrowed his eyes and slowly retracted the blade.
Sheldon had no idea that his fingers had just almost gone, and he was now filled with anger and embarrassment.
How dared this hateful woman refused him in front of so many people?
Damn it. He couldn't reveal his anger.
He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger, "Nora, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nora looked a little flustered and said, "I'm sorry, Sheldon, I, I haven't thought about it yet. Let me think about it. I have to go."
She then strode away and even started jogging. It looked as if Sheldon was a monster that would chase her, and her action was undoubtedly a slap in his face again.
The father and son in the crowd suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The little guy said happily, "I knew it. Mom wouldn't have such bad taste and be with this kind of guy. Hmph!"
Derek was in a good mood. With a random gesture, the man who secretly protected Nora immediately followed her.
Not only that, but he also asked his man to take Easton with him, "Your mother must be in a bad mood tonight. You stay with her for tonight. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
Derek could see Nora's tangled expression all the time. He didn't want her to overthink, so he sent their son to her without hesitation.
Easton was very happy to sleep with Nora.
As for Derek, he still stood where he was. When the crowd dispersed, he followed Sheldon at a certain distance.
Sheldon put on a gloomy face, but he didn't go home. Instead, he went to a famous nightclub and ordered a few prostitutes to accompany him.
He had to vent his anger. Otherwise, he might lose his mind and strangle Nora the next time he saw that bitch.
The door of the private room opened. It was not a prostitute who came in, but a waiter, "Sir, someone asked me to give this to you.”
Sheldon took it over impatiently and looked at it. He was stunned, and no one could tell what he was thinking from his face. He walked out in suspicion and went straight to the back door of the nightclub.
He looked at the empty road behind him. There was no one, and he looked even more annoyed. He felt that someone was playing tricks on him.
Suddenly, there was a flash of shadow in front of him. Before he could react, something was stuck in his mouth, and he could not speak.
With a crisp sound, his arms dislocated in an instant, and he screamed in pain. He was warped in a black cloth bag and was kicked, and he fell to the ground.
He whimpered and writhed on the ground, unable to remove the black cloth bag or the tape from his mouth because his hands were dislocated.
Four agile men appeared in the dark, and a tall figure slowly walked over. It was Derek.
He was still wearing a hat, his hands in his pockets, and he looked at Sheldon, who was writhing like a worm on the ground, with a smile. A strange expression flashed in his eyes, and he waved casually. The four men, who were standing still, moved instantly and rushed forward, punching and kicking Sheldon.
They could easily kick someone to death with their strength. Obviously, they were not allowed to kill this person, so they controlled their strength. But even so, Sheldon in the black cloth bag still wanted to die.
He only felt endless pain coming from his whole body.
His tears and snot were all coming out, and he could not make a sound. He thought he would die. With all kinds of horrible guesses and pains, he passed out.
The next day.
Nora, who had been having fun with Easton all night, was delighted. After she went to the company, she was still rather nervous and looked at her cell phone from time to time.
She was afraid that Sheldon would call and ask her about her answer, which she could not give any answer.
At least for now, she didn't want to answer him, but she couldn't face Sheldon at all. Fortunately, her phone didn't ring all morning.
At this moment, Sheldon woke up and found himself in the hospital. When he moved a little, he couldn't help crying out. His whole body ached, and he recalled what happened yesterday. Yesterday, he thought he would die. He was furious even though he survived. Just then, the door of the ward opened, and his assistant came in.
"Mr. Jones, you're awake."
He grimaced and gritted his teeth, "Why am I in the hospital?"
"It was the chef of the nightclub who found you, then called the police and an ambulance to take you to the hospital. Did you offend anyone? Why would anyone do this to you?"
Sheldon was furious and moved abruptly. Then he let out a scream. It was painful.
"Mr. Jones, don't move. The doctor said that although your injuries are not fatal, they are still severe. You've broken four ribs, and you've got many bruises on your body. Also, your arms are dislocated. You need to take a good rest.”
Sheldon was speechless.
