The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 377

"The things I've heard, Maloney Jameson has definitely heard too. But he chose to be a deserter. Am I wrong for calling him a coward?"

Never mind Maloney.

Even Cassidy had heard people allude to such appalling things in passing.

In high society, this wasn't even considered a secret.

The higher Cassidy climbed, the more she understood Maloney, and the more she admired Nora.

The world couldn't be changed.

It was the same inevitable truth that roaches would never go extinct in the foreseeable future.

The team Maloney had assembled was still actively functioning in the background of society.

How could shifting from an offensive stance to a defensive one be considered desertion?

If everyone were as radical as Seraphina, it would have sparked mass panic long ago.

Ideological differences couldn't be bridged with arguments.

Cassidy simply said, "Mind your own business. Be careful you don't cross a line and bring shame to your new in-laws, or you won't get off easy either."

Upon hearing this, Seraphina burst into loud laughter, as if she had just heard a hilarious joke.

She was an absolute lunatic.

As the conversation dragged on, they parted on terrible terms.

Seraphina's true intention was to use Cassidy to trick Nora into bringing Maloney back to the Capital.

But it was a futile effort.

At the wedding reception, Cassidy sent a photo of Seraphina's husband to their group chat.

Nora: 'He's really not my type.'

Cassidy: 'He's decent enough. His face is a bit plain, but his physique and presence are top-tier.'

Jasmine Smith: 'Cass, is that your type?'

Cassidy: 'Don't you dare start with your nonsense.'

Jasmine: 'What did I say?! I meant, if you like that type, I can keep an eye out for you! Our studio just signed a few new guys, maybe there's one you'd like!'

Cassidy: 'You want to set me up with an influencer?'

Jasmine: 'What's wrong with influencers?'

Cassidy: 'Do you remember that I am the majority shareholder of the media studio?'

Jasmine: 'So what?'

Cassidy: 'You think influencers haven't tried to hit on me before? But they are all way too young! And don't ask me what's wrong with younger guys. Dating younger guys feels like raising a son!'

Jasmine: '...That has nothing to do with age, it's just about their personality.'

Nora didn't join the debate.

She was still staring at the photo from Seraphina's wedding.

Pinching the screen to zoom in, she carefully scrutinized the groom's features. His physique was indeed fine, and he was tall, but he had monolids and thick lips—hitting all of Nora's dealbreakers.

She preferred men with deep-set eyes and strong brows.

With that thought in mind, Nora quietly looked up and peeked at Maloney.

The two of them were working on their respective tasks in the same study—the Southampton estate had exactly one study, divided into two zones. Nora's workstation was by the window, and Maloney's desk was near the door, with a hidden sliding door that could separate the space.

However, since both of them were the type to completely block out the world when busy, the sliding door had never been used.

Just as Nora's gaze landed on Maloney, he happened to look up, and their eyes met.

Gaze locked.

Nora immediately looked back down at her phone, pretending nothing happened.
