00:00:12or in the first comment, or below the video to motivate me share all chapters of the book.
00:00:18Also, please don't forget, share the video, comment, and like.
00:00:23Nora stretched lazily. After stretching her body,
00:00:27she let out a deep breath and opened her eyes. She had thought that she would open her eyes
00:00:33to see the ceiling, but she did not expect to see three heads looking down on her.
00:00:38The two little ones stared at her from the side.
00:00:42Pete asked softly,
00:00:44Is mommy finally awake? She cherry made a shushing gesture and lowered her voice.
00:00:50Mommy might just be turning around.
00:00:53Brother, don't wake mommy up.
00:00:56Mommy is very scary when she's awake. One time she even beat me up.
00:01:02Pete immediately covered his mouth. The two little guys widened their eyes in fear and
00:01:07covered their mouths tightly. They were afraid that they would make another sound and anger.
00:01:14Nora, who had just woken up.
00:01:16Nora, who had just woken up.
00:01:18She rolled her eyes at cherry and said in a hoarse voice that sounded like she had just woken up.
00:01:24Cherry, don't cause panic here.
00:01:27When have I ever beaten you up?
00:01:30Cherry chuckled and jumped into Nora's arms.
00:01:33Mommy, cherry missed you so much.
00:01:36You don't know how worried cherry was the past two days when you were sleeping.
00:01:40I couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat well.
00:01:43Pete was speechless.
00:01:45He wondered who had been nonchalant and playing a live stream game for two days.
00:01:50However, he did not expose his sister.
00:01:53Nora understood her daughter very well and only said,
00:01:57Is that so?
00:01:59Why do I remember vaguely hearing someone playing games happily?
00:02:04Cherry blinked her big grape like eyes.
00:02:07She was not flustered at all from being exposed.
00:02:10Sigh.
00:02:12Mommy, I haven't been in the mood to do anything else these past two days.
00:02:16I can only play games.
00:02:18Even playing games wasn't as fun as usual.
00:02:21I could only turn my worry for mommy into motivation and beat people up in the game.
00:02:26Pete was speechless.
00:02:28He felt like he had learned something from her.
00:02:31Nora did not argue with cherry.
00:02:34The little fellow was worried that she would not wake up,
00:02:37but it was not as exaggerated as she had said.
00:02:41Nora was not worried about her daughter's extroverted personality.
00:02:45She turned her head to look at Pete.
00:02:47Indeed, she saw a hint of deep worry in her son's eyes.
00:02:51Pete, who was not good with words, was really worried about Nora's body.
00:02:56Even in her sleep, she seemed to have felt the little fellow climbing onto the bed
00:03:01gently a few times.
00:03:02He even touched her nose and was probably checking if she was still breathing.
00:03:07She smiled.
00:03:09Pete, did you miss mommy?
00:03:11Pete blushed and lowered his head.
00:03:14Mm, yes.
00:03:16Did you miss me or not?
00:03:18Nora sat up and teased him.
00:03:20Pete was not good at sweet-talking.
00:03:22His face turned even redder as he stammered and could not speak.
00:03:26Nora simply teased him.
00:03:29Sigh.
00:03:30Looks like my son didn't miss his mom.
00:03:33I'm so sad.
00:03:34Why don't I sleep for a few more days?
00:03:36Pete panicked and hurriedly shouted,
00:03:38No, I missed you.
00:03:41Nora laughed and hugged him.
00:03:42I missed you too.
00:03:44I even dreamed of you.
00:03:47Pete was stunned.
00:03:49Dreamed about what?
00:03:51Nora.
00:03:53She was also stunned.
00:03:54She had always had a lot of messy dreams when she slept.
00:03:58It was as if her brain never stopped working while she slept.
00:04:02When she woke up, she had already forgotten her dream.
00:04:05How could she still remember what she had dreamed?
00:04:09But her son was so serious, she couldn't say that she had forgotten.
00:04:14Right?
00:04:15Nora spoke nonsense.
00:04:17Her voice was hoarse as she said,
00:04:19I dreamed that Pete grew up and became cold to mommy after marrying some girl.
00:04:24I was so sad.
00:04:26Si Pete Cherry blinked her big eyes at the side and asked,
00:04:30Mommy, who did Pete marry?
00:04:32Did he marry Cherry?
00:04:34Then our family of four can be together forever.
00:04:37Nora, Justin coughed.
00:04:39Your brother can't marry you.
00:04:41Cherry looked disappointed.
00:04:43I see.
00:04:44However, Pete hurriedly said,
00:04:46Mommy, your dream is to fake.
00:04:49I don't plan on marrying anyone in the future.
00:04:51Looking at his serious expression, Nora was touched.
00:04:55Justin, who was beside them,
00:04:57looked at their affectionate gazes and instantly felt a sense of danger.
00:05:02He immediately pushed Pete away and said,
00:05:05Why are you staying at home if you don't want to get married?
00:05:08The only one who can walk with you forever is your partner.
00:05:12After saying that, he looked at Nora under his pitch black eyes.
00:05:16The mole on his eyes show Nora.
00:05:18The corners of her lips twitched.
00:05:22She felt that this head of the hunts was a little unreasonable.
00:05:26What was there to compete with the child for?
00:05:29She coughed and lifted the blanket to get out of bed.
00:05:32She realized that she had changed into a comfortable sleeping gown.
00:05:36She hesitated for a moment and asked,
00:05:39Who changed my clothes?
00:05:41She still remembered that before she fainted,
00:05:44her red dress was covered in blood.
00:05:47However, she felt quite refreshed now at the thought of this.
00:05:52Cherry raised her hand.
00:05:54Daddy changed it for you.
00:05:55Plus, I helped you shower.
00:05:58Although it was Lily who gave her a shower on the operating table,
00:06:02on the first day after returning home,
00:06:04Justin helped her every day.
00:06:06Nora, this man was the one who had bathed her when she was asleep.
00:06:11He'd slowly rose in her cheeks.
00:06:14She looked around, her eyes wandering.
00:06:17Where's Lily?
00:06:18She asked when she was overseas.
00:06:22She had given herself to Lily wholeheartedly
00:06:25after she fell asleep after returning to the country.
00:06:28Had Lily begun to slack off at this moment?
00:06:31Lily, who had just slept for six hours after taking care of Quentin,
00:06:35sneezed violently.
00:06:37Then she rubbed her nose.
00:06:39Sigh.
00:06:40She really wanted to go overseas.
00:06:43She was so busy after returning to the country
00:06:46that she barely had any free time.
00:06:49Sensing Nora's shyness,
00:06:51Justin hurriedly said,
00:06:52Don't worry.
00:06:53I didn't look at anything I shouldn't have Nora.
00:06:57The corners of her lips twitched.
00:06:59Do you think I'm a child?
00:07:02How did you help me shower if you didn't look?
00:07:05Justin was silent for a moment before he coughed.
00:07:08I covered my eyes and washed.
00:07:11Nora's face became even redder,
00:07:13so he touched her entire body.
00:07:15She picked up her phone and walked to the bathroom.
00:07:18Oh, I'll go take a shower.
00:07:21Mr. Hunt,
00:07:22please go downstairs and get someone to prepare some food for me.
00:07:25Justin looked at her,
00:07:28flustered back, and smiled.
00:07:30All right, you can take your time with the shower.
00:07:33After all, when I bathed you,
00:07:35I didn't dare to rub anything.
00:07:38I only washed briefly.
00:07:39Nora staggered and rushed into the bathroom in a panic.
00:07:43Justin smiled and went downstairs.
00:07:45In the bathroom.
00:07:47Nora took a few deep breaths before looking at her phone.
00:07:51She planned to see if anything had happened during the two days.
00:07:54She was unconscious.
00:07:56Nora took out her toothbrush first.
00:07:58After putting on some toothpaste,
00:08:00she brushed her teeth with one hand
00:08:02and turned on her phone with the other.
00:08:05She realized that there were a few new emails in her inbox.
00:08:08Her attention was first on the DNA report Lily had sent her.
00:08:12She paused.
00:08:14She had slept for almost three days this time,
00:08:17right?
00:08:18Tanya and Maya's results were out.
00:08:21She hurriedly opened them and realized that it was as she had expected.
00:08:26However, she quickly saw the top-trending news article.
00:08:30It was about the lawsuit between Tanya and Hilary.
00:08:34She instantly realized that Tanya and Joel already knew the truth.
00:08:38Yes, it seemed like he had taken the email to heart.
00:08:42As she thought about this,
00:08:44she casually browsed through the inbox.
00:08:46When she did not see any urgent messages,
00:08:49she put down her phone and focused on brushing her teeth.
00:08:52As she brushed her teeth,
00:08:54her eyes slowly darkened her happy mood.
00:08:58After being teased by the two children,
00:09:01slowly became heavy.
00:09:03Quentin was still in the hospital.
00:09:05All the bones in his body had shattered.
00:09:08She did not know if he still had a chance to stand up.
00:09:12Thinking about this,
00:09:13Nora decided to spend some time in the future
00:09:16to think about all kinds of ways to make him stand out.
00:09:19Yes, according to modern medicine,
00:09:22there was nothing they could do then.
00:09:25She could only look at it from alternative medicine.
00:09:29She vaguely remembered that there was a saying about bone refinement
00:09:32in ancient traditional medicine.
00:09:34However, that method had been lost for a long time.
00:09:39She did not know if she could still find the relevant information.
00:09:43With this in mind,
00:09:44she started brushing her teeth faster and faster
00:09:47after spitting out the water in her mouth.
00:09:50She took a shower and changed into a black top
00:09:53and light colored jeans before leaving.
00:09:56Her long hair was half dry as it fluttered behind her.
00:10:01She went downstairs feeling refreshed
00:10:03when she heard Cherry shouting,
00:10:05Mommy is out.
00:10:07Then enthusiastic applause erupted downstairs.
00:10:10Nora, she walked down with a head full of question marks.
00:10:15Then she saw Ian, Joel, Tanya, Warren, Moran, Lewis,
00:10:19Brandon, Mia, Cherry, Pete, and Justin
00:10:22sitting on the living room sofa.
00:10:24The group of people raised their heads in unison
00:10:26and stared at her as if she was some kind of leader.
00:10:30Nora, she twitched her lips and went downstairs.
00:10:34Facing this situation,
00:10:36she did not have any intention of being shy.
00:10:39Instead, she looked at Ian first.
00:10:42Why are you home?
00:10:44I, are you home?
00:10:47Ian's body was still quite weak.
00:10:49He needed all kinds of medical equipment in the hospital
00:10:52to help monitor his vital signs.
00:10:55It was dangerous for him to come home.
00:10:57Ian, he'd a sigh of relief
00:11:00when he saw his daughter looking at him first.
00:11:03To be honest,
00:11:04although the father and daughter had reunited,
00:11:07their relationship was relatively distant.
00:11:10Nora was born with a cold personality,
00:11:13but Ian was a little embarrassed after all.
00:11:16When they had just reunited,
00:11:18he still wanted to die
00:11:19and not stay behind to accompany his daughter.
00:11:22Therefore, he was a little embarrassed.
00:11:26However, his daughter didn't seem to care about the past.
00:11:29He said,
00:11:30I'm fine.
00:11:32Nora frowned and said slowly,
00:11:34I'm going to eat.
00:11:36I'll go to the hospital to see Quentin later
00:11:38and take you over too.
00:11:40It had not been easy to save Quentin's life
00:11:43if she was not careful
00:11:44and something happened to Ian.
00:11:47The gains would not make up for the losses.
00:11:49When Joel heard this,
00:11:51he looked at Ian.
00:11:54Over the past few days,
00:11:56he had tried to persuade Uncle Ian
00:11:58to go to the hospital many times,
00:12:01but Uncle Ian was stubborn and refused to leave.
00:12:04Now that his little sister had spoken as expected,
00:12:07although Ian was still unwilling,
00:12:09he still said obediently,
00:12:12Okay, Joel.
00:12:14Therefore, even Uncle Ian was subdued by his little sister.
00:12:18The corners of his lips twitched.
00:12:21Then the family followed Nora to the dining room.
00:12:24The Smith's dining table was very long.
00:12:27There were 10 chairs on each side.
00:12:29Now everyone was sitting at the dining table obediently.
00:12:33There was nothing in front of them.
00:12:35They all turned to look at the only person sitting there eating Nora.
00:12:40Suddenly, she felt that the porridge in front of her was a little hot.
00:12:44It was rare that she could not drink a bowl of porridge
00:12:47and a few gulps like she usually did.
00:12:49Under the gaze of more than 10 pairs of eyes from the nannies,
00:12:53she took a spoon and drank it one mouthful at a time.
00:12:57The small bowl of porridge took half an hour to finish.
00:13:01After finishing, she looked at the group of people and suddenly asked,
00:13:06Are you guys not busy?
00:13:07Tanya answered,
00:13:09For the children and herself.
00:13:12It's the weekend, Joel.
00:13:14Yes, the rest of us don't work either.
00:13:17Nora.
00:13:18She took a tissue and elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth.
00:13:23Then she coughed and glanced at Justin.
00:13:26Justin chuckled softly and stood up to say,
00:13:28All right, everyone disperse.
00:13:31Nora is feeling awkward that you guys are all gathered here.
00:13:35Nora, who was awkward.
00:13:36They quickly stood up.
00:13:38Warren and Maureen said,
00:13:40Well, little sister.
00:13:42If there's anything you need, just tell us.
00:13:45Joel and Tanya looked at each other and said calmly,
00:13:48I'll take Uncle Ian back to the hospital with you.
00:13:51Ian, seeing that everyone had spoken,
00:13:54Louis thought for a long time before finally saying,
00:13:58Sis, if there's anything you can't spend, feel free to ask me for help.
00:14:03The family finally dispersed.
00:14:05Nora heaved a sigh of relief.
00:14:08She stood up.
00:14:10Let's go to the hospital.
00:14:12The group followed her majestically and went to the hospital in two separate cars.
00:14:16Nora first took Ian back to the Veep ward after confirming that all his organs were fine.
00:14:22She then walked towards Quentin's ward.
00:14:25On the way, Joel and Justin sensed her silence.
00:14:29Joel said,
00:14:30Quentin hasn't complained about being dispirited or cried over the past two days.
00:14:35Don't worry.
00:14:36Nora nodded.
00:14:38However, just because Quentin did not cry or complain did not mean that he was not in pain.
00:14:44That young man loved to be in the limelight.
00:14:47Now he was all alone on the hospital bed and could not even move his neck.
00:14:52With this thought in mind, she walked to Quentin's IQ ward.
00:14:57To be precise, Quentin was not out of danger yet, so he was still in the IQ at this moment.
00:15:03Just as they approached, they heard Quentin's pained voice.
00:15:07God, just let me die.
00:15:10The people outside, Joel, they were just saying that Quentin did not complain about life.
00:15:15Why was he suddenly looking for death?
00:15:18He was about to explain when he heard Lily's pained voice.
00:15:22Don't.
00:15:23Wouldn't it be a pity if someone as handsome as you died?
00:15:27Stay.
00:15:28Don't move.
00:15:29I'll wipe your face.
00:15:30Dash.
00:15:31Quentin.
00:15:31Are you damn pervert?
00:15:33Get lost.
00:15:34You're bullying me because I can't move.
00:15:37God, I'll just die.
00:15:39The corners of Joel's lips spasms.
00:15:42Tanya could not help but ask,
00:15:44Should we maybe not go in now?
00:15:48Would we disturb them?
00:15:49Her words made the four of them stand outside in a pause.
00:15:53Nora took out her phone and opened her email inbox in boredom.
00:15:57She also opened Black Cat's exclusive internet chats.
00:16:02These were all her habits.
00:16:04After a long break, she would log on to various platforms to see if anyone was sending her
00:16:09messages on Black Cat's exclusive webpage chat interface.
00:16:14There were many messages.
00:16:16She first opened Carl Moore's chat window and saw his message Black Cat.
00:16:21Please do me a favor.
00:16:23Can you help me steal a person's DNA sample?
00:16:26When she saw Carl Moore's message, Nora was a little stunned.
00:16:30Joel and Tanya's lawsuit was spread all over the internet.
00:16:34However, Carl Moore's name was definitely not written in those reports because those
00:16:40people did not know of his existence.
00:16:42Therefore, Nora still did not know that Carl Moore was already in New York.
00:16:47She casually typed a few words.
00:16:49I'm in New York.
00:16:51It's not convenient.
00:16:54Carl Moore seemed to be staring at the chat the moment she sent the message.
00:16:59He replied, The person I want is also in New York.
00:17:03It's very convenient.
00:17:05By the way, I'm also here.
00:17:08Why don't we meet?
00:17:09Nora ignored his request to meet.
00:17:13Whose DNA is it?
00:17:14Although Carl Moore was a foreign underworld force and the leader of the assassin organization,
00:17:20he was not a bad person in the traditional sense.
00:17:23Based on his neutral rules and the assassin organization and the fact that he would not
00:17:29casually kill women and children, Nora had a good impression of him.
00:17:33Moreover, although he looked stupid and silly, he was actually a very upright and smart person.
00:17:39Over the past three years, their collaboration had been very fruitful.
00:17:44She was also very satisfied with some of Carl Moore's actions, so she had long treated Carl
00:17:50Moore as a friend.
00:17:51She would help resolve some of his requests if they were not very troublesome.
00:17:56After sending this message, she saw Carl Moore reply.
00:18:00It's a young lady called Tanya.
00:18:03Nora, she stared at the word Tanya for a long time before suddenly looking up at the Tanya
00:18:08standing in front of her.
00:18:10Was this Tanya?
00:18:12The same Tanya she knew.
00:18:15As she was thinking,
00:18:17Carl Moore's news came again.
00:18:20She's currently in the Smiths and is being protected.
00:18:23I've also brought a few people over.
00:18:25But, you know, in New York, strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes.
00:18:32Nora, she pursed her lips and asked,
00:18:35Why do you want her DNA?
00:18:38Carl Moore.
00:18:39Carl Moore sighed.
00:18:40I'm wondering if she's my daughter.
00:18:43Nora.
00:18:44What was going on?
00:18:46Not even television dramas would dare to write something like that.
00:18:50She grimaced and replied.
00:18:51OK, wait.
00:18:53After sending the message, she casually put away her phone and looked up at Tanya.
00:18:58Tanya, what's wrong with me?
00:19:00I'm not wearing the right clothes.
00:19:03My pants aren't zipped.
00:19:05Nora.
00:19:06Tanya's voice was a little loud after she said that the people in the ward
00:19:10sensed the sound outside and immediately fell silent.
00:19:13Then she heard footsteps and the door opened.
00:19:17The tall lily always had exquisite makeup on.
00:19:20She was wearing high heels and had a smile on her face.
00:19:23Boss.
00:19:25Miss Tanya.
00:19:26Mr. Hunt.
00:19:27Mr. Smith.
00:19:28You're all here.
00:19:29Nora nodded and entered the ward.
00:19:32Quentin lay on the bed and could not move.
00:19:34His face was very clean, but there were still traces of friction on his cheeks.
00:19:39Some places were a little red.
00:19:41When he saw Nora, he instantly looked like he had nothing to live for.
00:19:46Little cousin.
00:19:47Can you chase this lily away for me, Nora?
00:19:50Not for the time being.
00:19:52Although she's my assistant, she's also the best surgeon.
00:19:56Your injuries are too serious.
00:19:58The other doctors can't claim you as carefully as she can.
00:20:01Quentin was covered in wounds.
00:20:04He had to undergo strict disinfection and debridement every day.
00:20:08Hearing this, Quentin sighed heavily.
00:20:11Lily said, what's with your expression?
00:20:14I'm not going to eat you.
00:20:16At most, I like your face a little.
00:20:19Besides, it's already good that I don't mind you lying there.
00:20:22When Quentin heard this, he looked at Nora angrily.
00:20:26Little cousin.
00:20:27When can I stand up again?
00:20:30I'm almost done being harassed by your assistant.
00:20:33As soon as he said this, the entire room fell silent.
00:20:37Nora then realized that Quentin had always had a good mentality.
00:20:41No one had ever told him that he might not be able to stand up in this life.
00:20:46She looked at Joel and saw him turn his head away.
00:20:49His eyes were flickering a little, as if he did not dare to look at Quentin directly.
00:20:55Justin held her hand.
00:20:57When Lily heard this, she was about to say something when Nora suddenly said,
00:21:01maybe half a year, maybe a year, maybe two years.
00:21:06Don't worry.
00:21:08I will make you stand up again.
00:21:10Quentin agreed.
00:21:11I believe you.
00:21:13These four words were like a huge rock pressing on Nora.
00:21:17She lowered her eyes and suddenly smiled.
00:21:20Don't worry.
00:21:21As soon as he finished speaking, Quentin looked at Lily.
00:21:24But while you do that, can you hire a nurse for me?
00:21:28Brother, is our family so poor?
00:21:31Why do we need this doctor to take care of me?
00:21:34I need someone else.
00:21:35Joel, Lily told him coldly.
00:21:38Because at the moment, ordinary nurses are not allowed to take care of you due to your injuries.
00:21:44It can only be me.
00:21:46With that, she sighed.
00:21:48I have already cleaned your body countless times while you were unconscious.
00:21:53Why are you so shy?
00:21:55Your fair skin is actually no different from a pig in my eyes.
00:21:59Don't worry.
00:22:00I won't tell anyone about the mole on your butt.
00:22:03Quentin.
00:22:05Everyone else.
00:22:07Quentin was silent for a moment before suddenly closing his eyes.
00:22:11Can someone cover my face with a blanket?
00:22:14He did not want to live anymore.
00:22:16The others laughed.
00:22:18At this moment, Lily pursed her lips and said,
00:22:21All right, all right.
00:22:24I'll get another nurse to take care of you.
00:22:26I'm going back to rest well today.
00:22:29With that, she yawned.
00:22:32Yesterday, Mr. Hunt and Mr. Smith asked me to help them with a DNA test.
00:22:38I waited for two hours and didn't get a sample.
00:22:41I didn't even get enough sleep.
00:22:44I should finally be able to sleep well today, right?
00:22:47Deanna.
00:22:48Nora was stunned and looked at Joel and Justin.
00:22:51Justin explained faintly.
00:22:54Carmen came to New York.
00:22:56We suspect that he might be related to Tanya by blood.
00:22:59So we wanted to test him.
00:23:01After saying that, Joel frowned.
00:23:04But the killers around Carmen are too difficult to deal with.
00:23:07We sent many people, but they didn't get close to him.
00:23:11So we haven't gotten any DNA samples.
00:23:14Nora.
00:23:15Her lips suddenly twitched.
00:23:18Lily did not notice her abnormality.
00:23:20She stretched and said,
00:23:22Okay, continue discussing.
00:23:25Call me when you get the samples.
00:23:27Of course, it would be best if that could take at least 12 hours.
00:23:31I'm going back to sleep.
00:23:34However, before she could reach the door, she heard Nora cough.
00:23:38Lily, maybe you shouldn't sleep yet.
00:23:41Lily.
00:23:43She almost doubted her life.
00:23:45She looked at her boss in disbelief.
00:23:48Boss, Nora coughed and stood up.
00:23:51Yes, I'll get you a DNA sample now.
00:23:55Lily was speechless.
00:23:57When Nora walked out,
00:23:59Justin had already stood up and started following beside her.
00:24:03I'll accompany you.
00:24:04Nora thought for a moment and said,
00:24:07All right.
00:24:08With that, she walked toward Tanya.
00:24:10Tanya stood up in confusion.
00:24:13What?
00:24:14You want another hug?
00:24:16Since when are you so attached to me?
00:24:18Be careful or your Mr. Hunt will be jealous.
00:24:22Before she could finish, Nora pulled two strands of her hair.
00:24:26Tanya.
00:24:27She covered her head.
00:24:29Nora.
00:24:30If you want DNA, next time I can give you finger blood.
00:24:34Can you stop pulling my hair?
00:24:36I'm going to become bald.
00:24:37It's fine.
00:24:38I'll treat you if you're bald.
00:24:40Nora waved her hand casually and skillfully took out a bag
00:24:43specially used to store these things.
00:24:46She placed the two strands of hair in it.
00:24:48Then she and Justin went downstairs.
00:24:51Justin drove while Nora took out her phone and sent a message to Carl.
00:24:55Moore address.
00:24:57After Carl, Moore replied with the hotel's address.
00:25:00He said,
00:25:02How many days do you need?
00:25:04When the people standing behind Carl Moore saw this news,
00:25:07they immediately began to guess.
00:25:10I think it would take at least half a day for Black Cat to steal a dentist sample.
00:25:15Black Cat spent two days assassinating the boss of that organization a day.
00:25:20The Smiths aren't any better than the organization over there.
00:25:24Furthermore, the organization over at Burundi doesn't have much discipline.
00:25:29The Smith security system is very impressive.
00:25:33I've already investigated.
00:25:35It's very difficult to break through so many security measures and reach Tanya.
00:25:40I think it would take two days because one of them went out just now.
00:25:43I sent someone to follow behind.
00:25:46In the end, I realized that whenever they went out,
00:25:49there were more than 50 security guards and bodyguards following them in secret.
00:25:54Isn't this too scary?
00:25:56Ian went out with more than 10 bodyguards.
00:25:59Joel went out with more than 10 people.
00:26:02Justin went out with 18 people in total.
00:26:06Weren't there more than 50 people following Nora?
00:26:10When Carl Moore heard this, he could feel his temples throbbing.
00:26:14More than 50?
00:26:15I only bring a dozen of you when I go out.
00:26:19Is my lineup a little weak?
00:26:21The person behind him twitched his lips.
00:26:23If you bring out more than 50 people from the organization,
00:26:27who would be left to do our missions?
00:26:29Carl Moore coughed and sighed.
00:26:32What does this mean?
00:26:34It means that the best among us assassins are still not enough.
00:26:38Beep!
00:26:39A message notification chimed.
00:26:41Carl Moore looked at his phone.
00:26:44Come on, let's see how long Black Cat will take.
00:26:47However, when he opened it, Carl Moore's expression changed.
00:26:53Seeing the extremely strange look on his face,
00:26:55the subordinates immediately asked,
00:26:58Boss, what's wrong?
00:27:00Is the time that Black Cat needs too much?
00:27:03Could it be four days?
00:27:05This is a little difficult.
00:27:07There's a cost to protecting Hillary in prison.
00:27:10If it's more than four days,
00:27:12we might as well break Hillary out of prison first.
00:27:15It couldn't be that Black Cat can't break through the Smiths' security guards
00:27:19and get Tanya's DNA right.
00:27:21But thinking about it,
00:27:23the Smiths' defense line is indeed not that easy to break.
00:27:29Black Cat has finally encountered something he can't handle.
00:27:33Why do I suddenly feel like laughing so much?
00:27:36As they giggled,
00:27:38Carl Moore looked up.
00:27:40Black Cat said,
00:27:42Half an hour.
00:27:44The entire hotel suddenly fell silent.
00:27:47The group of assassins looked at each other
00:27:49and finally couldn't help but swear.
00:27:52Holy shit!
00:27:53It's fake, right?
00:27:55Black Cat is bragging too much this time.
00:27:57He, huh?
00:27:59Then I'll laugh at Black Cat and half an hour.
00:28:02The group of people waited to see the joke.
00:28:05Half an hour passed quickly.
00:28:07Carl Moore took out his phone
00:28:09and was about to send a message to Black Cat
00:28:12when he received a message to Black Cat
00:28:14when he received a message.
00:28:16It's here.
00:28:17Go downstairs.
00:28:19Carmel was speechless.
00:28:21He looked at his subordinates in shock.
00:28:23Their mouths were wide open in disbelief.
00:28:27Carmen coughed and adjusted his clothes before standing up.
00:28:30I'll go downstairs and take a look.
00:28:33Put away your inexperienced looks.
00:28:35You're really embarrassing me
00:28:37as the number one assassination organization.
00:28:40You should learn the efficiency of Black Cat.
00:28:43Someone asked.
00:28:45Boss, boss, I just want to ask.
00:28:48Who is this Black Cat?
00:28:50This efficiency is not something
00:28:51that can be achieved by humans, right?
00:28:54Is Black Cat not human?
00:28:56His words made everyone stand up straight.
00:28:59They all swallowed.
00:29:01Actually, after Black Cat had killed in Burundi,
00:29:04the assassins started sharing myths about him.
00:29:07But now they suddenly felt that the myths were not enough.
00:29:11Carl were no longer bothered with these brats
00:29:13and took them downstairs.
00:29:15People were coming and going in the lobby downstairs.
00:29:19Carl Moore went downstairs
00:29:20and stood in the lobby looking around.
00:29:23His subordinates spread out on both sides,
00:29:26not letting anyone disturb him.
00:29:28Carl Moore was already very excited.
00:29:31He wanted to see what the legendary Black Cat looked like.
00:29:36He narrowed his eyes and was looking around
00:29:38when a thin figure rushed straight at him.
00:29:41The surrounding killers actually wanted to stop him,
00:29:44but the man seemed to have been pushed by someone.
00:29:47He avoided everyone just in time
00:29:50and bumped into Carl Moore.
00:29:52Carl Moore felt a sting on his head.
00:29:55Then the person immediately apologized.
00:29:59I'm sorry.
00:30:00I'm sorry.
00:30:02Just as Carl Moore was about to catch this person,
00:30:05a voice sounded from afar.
00:30:08He subconsciously thought it was Black Cat.
00:30:11He turned his head but saw no one in the distance
00:30:13when he came back to his senses.
00:30:15The person who had bumped into him had also disappeared.
00:30:19It was as if he had bumped into a ghost.
00:30:22He shouted for bad luck and took out his phone.
00:30:25Just as he was about to send a message to Black Cat,
00:30:28he saw a message.
00:30:29Left pocket of your suit.
00:30:32Camera.
00:30:33He was stunned.
00:30:36Then he lowered his head and looked at his left pocket.
00:30:39There was a bag quietly sitting inside.
00:30:42In the bag were two strands of hair.
00:30:45Canova.
00:30:47Speechless.
00:30:48Boss.
00:30:51What is this?
00:30:52Carl was following that Tanya's DNA sample,
00:30:55so the one who bumped into you earlier was Black Cat.
00:30:58His words reminded Carl Moore.
00:31:01He looked at the killers around him and asked,
00:31:04did any of you see what Black Cat looks like?
00:31:07As soon as he said this,
00:31:08the few of them thought hard about it
00:31:10and realized that they could not remember Black Cat's appearance
00:31:14because when that person bumped into him earlier,
00:31:17he was wearing a cap,
00:31:19sunglasses and a mask.
00:31:22His speed was too fast
00:31:24and those people did not even recognize if he was a man or a woman.
00:31:28Canova.
00:31:30Speechless.
00:31:31He hastily said,
00:31:32check the surveillance cameras.
00:31:34Someone was already operating a computer.
00:31:37He could only look up at Carl with a disappointed face.
00:31:40Black Cat is definitely meticulous.
00:31:43The surveillance cameras have been cleared.
00:31:46Carl Moore pursed his lips and sent a message to Black Cat.
00:31:50You're already here.
00:31:52Why don't we meet?
00:31:54Black Cat ignored him.
00:31:56Canova.
00:31:56Speechless.
00:31:58He could only take a deep breath.
00:32:00Forget it.
00:32:03Let's go to the testing center.
00:32:04Understood.
00:32:05However, someone still asked,
00:32:08boss, is this Tanya's hair?
00:32:10Carmen narrowed his eyes.
00:32:12Definitely.
00:32:13When has Black Cat ever made a mistake?
00:32:16Everyone nodded at the same time
00:32:18at the back door of the hotel.
00:32:20Nora got into Justin's car very quickly.
00:32:23She took off her hat, sunglasses, and mask.
00:32:26Her hair,
00:32:28which was covered by the hat, fell down.
00:32:31She shook her head and said,
00:32:33after straightening her hair done,
00:32:35she raised the bag with a few short hairs in it.
00:32:38Carl Moore's hair,
00:32:40loss is a little serious.
00:32:42I grabbed a bunch,
00:32:43but there are only so few.
00:32:45Justin.
00:32:46Suddenly, he felt his scalp tighten.
00:32:49Thank goodness he didn't need to do any more DNA tests.
00:32:53The car started and Justin slowly rushed to the hospital.
00:32:57He asked,
00:32:58how did you get Karma to come downstairs?
00:33:01Nora raised her eyes and looked at Justin.
00:33:04That is a secret.
00:33:06Forget it.
00:33:07She had many aliases.
00:33:11Justin was no longer amazed by any of her actions.
00:33:14The two of them arrived at the hospital
00:33:16just as they were about to enter.
00:33:19They heard Quentin say they won.
00:33:21Did they really win?
00:33:23I thought that without me,
00:33:25third in the world would lose.
00:33:27I asked Lily,
00:33:29but she didn't know anything.
00:33:31Joel had been busy fighting the lawsuit these past few days
00:33:34when he found out that Quentin had woken up
00:33:37and was in a stable mood.
00:33:39He had yet to see him.
00:33:40Not many people who came to see him
00:33:43knew about the competition.
00:33:45Therefore,
00:33:46Quentin had just found out the outcome of the competition.
00:33:50Nora was about to push open the door
00:33:52and enter when she heard Quentin say,
00:33:54I remember.
00:33:55The competition rules say
00:33:57that there must be three people, right?
00:34:00Did Big Brother represent our team?
00:34:02Is that why we won the competition?
00:34:05It must be like this.
00:34:07Joel stared at Quentin and twitched his lips.
00:34:11Although not many people knew that Justin was Irvin,
00:34:14School of Martial Arts, Big Brother.
00:34:17Joel knew it very well.
00:34:19He coughed and said yes.
00:34:21Big Brother competed to Big Sister,
00:34:24competed alongside Big Brother and I missed it.
00:34:27What a pity.
00:34:28Quentin was still chattering,
00:34:30but Big Brother and Big Sister don't get along right.
00:34:33Big Sister said that she's not compatible with Big Brother,
00:34:37whether they were compatible or not.
00:34:39They had already given birth to two children,
00:34:42Joel, Kirsten, his heart outside the door.
00:34:47Nora suddenly turned her head and looked at Justin.
00:34:50Big Brother.
00:34:52She had been so focused on revenge
00:34:54that she had almost forgotten about it.
00:34:57Justin had deceived her so badly.
00:34:59She thought about how she had criticized Big Brother
00:35:02many times in front of him,
00:35:04but this person had never said a word.
00:35:06She wondered how he had mocked her in his heart.
00:35:09Nora sneered and suddenly moved her wrist.
00:35:13Big Brother, I've been friends with you for a long time.
00:35:17Why don't we find a place to spar?
00:35:20Justin.
00:35:21He smiled with narrowed eyes,
00:35:24the mole at the corner of his eye flashing guiltily.
00:35:27I think the DNA test is a bit more urgent.
00:35:31Nora nodded.
00:35:32You're right, Justin.
00:35:34He docile relief.
00:35:36The next moment,
00:35:37the next moment,
00:35:39Nora pushed open the door
00:35:40and threw the sample in her hand toward Lily.
00:35:43The results will be out in three hours.
00:35:46Then she turned around,
00:35:48grabbed Justin's tie and pulled him downstairs.
00:35:51Justin, this domineering posture was too ambiguous.
00:35:55For a moment, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
00:35:59The two of them went downstairs and found an empty seat.
00:36:03Nora clenched her fists and waved at Justin.
00:36:05Come on, don't be merciful.
00:36:08Let me see how powerful this Big Brother is.
00:36:10That master keeps talking about Justin.
00:36:13Should he fight or not?
00:36:16Wasn't she making things too difficult for him at the testing center?
00:36:21After Carl more personally delivered Tanya's hair,
00:36:24he got his brothers to wait and returned to the hotel.
00:36:27As soon as he returned, he saw Jill waiting for him.
00:36:31Carmen narrowed his eyes and walked forward.
00:36:34Why are you here?
00:36:36Jill immediately asked.
00:36:37When are you going to save Hillary?
00:36:40It's been a day.
00:36:41Why haven't you saved her yet?
00:36:43Conwald cut upstairs.
00:36:45There has to be time for everything.
00:36:47I've already made arrangements.
00:36:49Don't be anxious.
00:36:51Jill followed behind him.
00:36:53Calmer, you slept with me back then and walked away.
00:36:57I had to marry someone while I was pregnant with your child.
00:37:00You've let me down.
00:37:02I don't have any other requests for you.
00:37:04As long as you save my daughter and take her overseas.
00:37:07Kamal nodded.
00:37:09I already know your request.
00:37:11Go back now.
00:37:13However, Jill followed him into the hotel room.
00:37:16No, I want to stay here and watch you arrange my daughter's rescue.
00:37:21I won't leave until you save her.
00:37:23With that, she sat on Karma's sofa confidently
00:37:27and folded her arms as she looked at him.
00:37:30Karl Moore ignored her nonsense
00:37:32and instructed his subordinates to do what they needed to do.
00:37:36He took out some documents and looked at them,
00:37:39handling some matters.
00:37:41When Jill saw that he was still calm,
00:37:44she stood up and snatched the documents from his hands.
00:37:47She could not help but say,
00:37:49your daughter has been in prison for a day.
00:37:52The Smiths and the Hunts have done countless evil deeds.
00:37:56Karma, why is your heart so cold?
00:38:00You can still bear it.
00:38:01Is your job more important or is your daughter?
00:38:04It's been so many years, but you haven't done anything as a father.
00:38:08Now you owe her.
00:38:10Can you save your daughter quickly?
00:38:13Karl Moore looked at her and frowned unhappily.
00:38:17At this moment, his phone rang.
00:38:19Karl Moore picked up the call
00:38:21and his subordinate's voice came from the other end.
00:38:24Boss, the results are out.
00:38:27Karl Moore stared at Jill and asked what was the outcome.
00:38:3199.
00:38:33You and Miss Tanya are father and daughter.
00:38:35Karl's grip on his phone tightened.
00:38:38His jaw tensed up and he felt that he must have misheard.
00:38:41He kept his emotions under control and asked again,
00:38:45what did you say?
00:38:47Boss, Tanya Turner is your real daughter.
00:38:51Hillary Jones is not your daughter at all.
00:38:54That sadistic woman even stole your daughter's child
00:38:57and tortured her for five years.
00:38:59I looked into her background along the way.
00:39:02Miss Turner suffered a lot in Switzerland during those five years.
00:39:07After she lost her child,
00:39:08she suffered a mental breakdown
00:39:10and was almost sent to a mental institution.
00:39:13Later, someone even framed her and broke her leg.
00:39:17When I looked into it,
00:39:18it turned out that it was also Hillary's doing.
00:39:21Fortunately, she met a genius doctor who fixed her leg for her.
00:39:26Also, as you must already know from the court hearing,
00:39:30it was Hillary behind Miss Turner and Mr. Smith's breakup.
00:39:33Back then, she schemed and plotted to sow discord
00:39:36between the two of them and separate them.
00:39:39I also found out that everyone knows
00:39:41that Tanya Turner is Jill's daughter.
00:39:44She was Jill's extra baggage
00:39:46when she married into the Joneses back then.
00:39:49The Joneses have always treated Miss Turner like a servant.
00:39:52Also, after the first nine years of compulsory education,
00:39:57ever since she entered junior high,
00:39:59Miss Turner had been working part-time
00:40:01to earn money for her tuition fees.
00:40:03Her tuition fees when she was attending college in the States
00:40:07also came from her part-time jobs.
00:40:10It seems that Jill has never given her
00:40:12any money for living expenses.
00:40:14The more his subordinates spoke,
00:40:17the graver and more solemn Carl's face became.
00:40:20To be honest, when Jill told him that Hillary was his daughter,
00:40:24he had been somewhat in an internal struggle.
00:40:27After all, no one wanted their daughter to be a thief
00:40:30who stole other people's children.
00:40:33But for someone like him,
00:40:34who couldn't ever have any more children,
00:40:36having a descendant was something
00:40:38that didn't come by easily.
00:40:41He didn't dare to wish for more
00:40:42when he instructed his men to look into Tanya.
00:40:45He actually hadn't held much hope.
00:40:47He had merely found Jill's behavior a little fishy,
00:40:51even though he was the leader of a group of assassins.
00:40:55Carl gave people the impression
00:40:57that he was a very simple and naive man,
00:41:00as if he was very gullible.
00:41:02It was just like how he had seemed
00:41:04like a foolish small-time gangster
00:41:06in the States many years ago.
00:41:08But if he really were that stupid,
00:41:12how would he possibly have become the leader
00:41:14of the assassin organization?
00:41:16The instant the report was out,
00:41:19Carl was thankful that his daughter was not a woman
00:41:22who did all sorts of wicked and malicious deeds.
00:41:25An acute sense of guilt also surged upon him.
00:41:28He had never expected his daughter
00:41:30to be living such a hard life.
00:41:33He had also never expected himself
00:41:35to actually become an accomplice
00:41:37to someone trying to take his daughter's child away from her.
00:41:40Justice.
00:41:42His daughter's life was improving.
00:41:44He slept himself across the cheek,
00:41:47angrily smack.
00:41:48He used a lot of force in the slap
00:41:50after he slapped himself.
00:41:52His mind also became clearer.
00:41:54He turned to look at Jill.
00:41:56The look in his eyes was fierce and vicious,
00:41:59making Jill feel cold all over.
00:42:01Her confrontational words toward Carl
00:42:04suddenly became stuck in her throat,
00:42:06and she stammered,
00:42:07Why are you looking at me like that?
00:42:09Carl sneered.
00:42:11I'm just trying to see just how brave the person is.
00:42:14Who had the guts to deceive me
00:42:16into bullying my own daughter?
00:42:19Jill's pupils shrank.
00:42:20When she heard him,
00:42:22she took a huge step back.
00:42:24Her eyes flickered as she said,
00:42:26What nonsense are you talking about?
00:42:29I don't understand what you're saying.
00:42:31In that case,
00:42:32let me explain everything to you properly.
00:42:35Carl took step after step toward Jill.
00:42:38The hair you plucked out when you were at the court
00:42:41is Tanya Turner's right.
00:42:43Jill hurriedly denied it.
00:42:47No, it isn't.
00:42:49Seeing that she was still lying,
00:42:50even at this point,
00:42:51disappointment flashed across Carl's eyes.
00:42:54He narrowed his eyes and slowly said,
00:42:57I have already done another DNA test for Tanya and me.
00:43:01That one line of his stunned Jill.
00:43:04She looked at Carl in disbelief,
00:43:06seemingly never having expected him
00:43:08to be such a perceptive man.
00:43:10Seeing that she had finally shut up,
00:43:13Carl sneered.
00:43:14What else do you have to say?
00:43:16Now, realizing that she couldn't continue
00:43:19to hide it from him anymore,
00:43:21Jill took another two steps back
00:43:23and put some distance between herself and Carl.
00:43:26She looked at him coldly and said furiously,
00:43:29So what?
00:43:30Even if you now realize it,
00:43:32this is something you owe me, Carl.
00:43:34Even if Tanya is your daughter,
00:43:37I'm still the one who gave birth to her.
00:43:40I gave you a daughter.
00:43:42So you have to save my daughter's life.
00:43:45Carl narrowed his eyes.
00:43:47He suddenly took a step forward
00:43:48and slapped her heart across the cheek.
00:43:51Smack!
00:43:52The crisp smack caused Jill's voice
00:43:55to instantly disappear.
00:43:57She could feel her cheek burning
00:43:59and even two of her teeth had loosened and fallen off.
00:44:04She could taste a metallic sweetness.
00:44:06She was likely bleeding.
00:44:08Her ears were also ringing.
00:44:10One could easily see just how hard
00:44:13Carl had slapped her.
00:44:14When she finally came back to her senses,
00:44:17she saw that Carl was already seated on the sofa.
00:44:21He had one leg crossed over the other
00:44:23and was fiddling with a gun.
00:44:25Jill's legs instantly turned into jelly
00:44:27when she saw the icy cold muzzle
00:44:29pointed at her.
00:44:31In this instant,
00:44:32the man in front of her
00:44:33suddenly became big and tall.
00:44:36It was as if even the air around him
00:44:38had changed from a simple, naive nouveau riche.
00:44:42He had turned into a cold
00:44:44and unfeeling underworld boss.
00:44:46Jill swallowed since the moment
00:44:48she ran into Carl
00:44:49when she was taking Hillary to the airport.
00:44:51The man had always shown her kindness.
00:44:54It made her think that time
00:44:56was still stuck at over 20 years ago
00:44:58when the man was just a little gangster
00:45:00in the streets.
00:45:02That was why she had kept making
00:45:04various demands to Carl
00:45:05and even spoke as if she was giving him orders
00:45:08when she requested him to save her daughter.
00:45:11It wasn't until now
00:45:13that Jill finally realized,
00:45:15in shock,
00:45:16that he was a man who could make
00:45:18even the Smiths and the Hunts compromise.
00:45:21He was not someone whom she could manipulate as
00:45:24and when she wanted.
00:45:25She had assumed that he was much stupider
00:45:28than he really was.
00:45:29She was so frightened
00:45:30that she couldn't help but shiver all over.
00:45:33Her lips trembled as she said,
00:45:35You...
00:45:37You can't kill me.
00:45:38Carl's head was lowered
00:45:40as he glanced at her carelessly.
00:45:42Why can't I kill you?
00:45:44Because...
00:45:45Because Jill suddenly thought of something.
00:45:47Because I am Tanya's mother.
00:45:50I gave birth to her.
00:45:51I brought her all the way up.
00:45:53Even if there's nothing meritorious
00:45:55about what I did,
00:45:56you cannot deny the effort I've put in.
00:45:59I was the one who gave Tanya her life.
00:46:02Carl let out an icy laugh
00:46:04when he heard what she said.
00:46:06He looked up and said,
00:46:08If it wasn't for that...
00:46:11Did you think I would have stopped it?
00:46:13Just a slap.
00:46:15Cold, sweat-drenched Jill,
00:46:17Carl got up.
00:46:18He stared at her and ordered,
00:46:21Get lost.
00:46:24A frightened Jill got up abruptly
00:46:25and scrambled toward the door.
00:46:28The woman staggered as she moved,
00:46:30as if she was afraid
00:46:31that Carl would kill her the next second.
00:46:34Elsewhere in prison,
00:46:35during the prisoner's recreation time,
00:46:38someone came up to Hillary.
00:46:40Hillary couldn't help but smile
00:46:42as she looked at her.
00:46:44Did Carl Moore sent you to take care of me?
00:46:47The woman was a female prisoner.
00:46:50She flexed her wrists
00:46:51when she heard what Hillary said,
00:46:53and the corners of her lips
00:46:54curled up into a strange smile.
00:46:57Aha.
00:46:58Boss asked me to take good care of you.
00:47:01Hillary didn't sense anything amiss.
00:47:04Even when she heard
00:47:05what the other woman said.
00:47:07Although she had been very scared
00:47:08and in a panic
00:47:09when she first entered the prison,
00:47:11she soon discovered
00:47:12that she was receiving slightly
00:47:14better treatment than other prisoners.
00:47:17There were several times
00:47:18where someone had tried
00:47:19to make things hard for her,
00:47:21but someone else had fended them
00:47:22all off for her.
00:47:24Later, Jill had visited her
00:47:26and informed her of some of the ongoings.
00:47:29She had also said
00:47:30that Carl would definitely save her
00:47:32and told her not to worry.
00:47:34As a result,
00:47:35Hillary had completely
00:47:36put her mind at ease
00:47:37when she heard
00:47:38what the other woman said.
00:47:40She stretched out her leg and said,
00:47:42Give me a leg massage.
00:47:45The bed in the cell is too hard.
00:47:47I didn't sleep well last night.
00:47:49I'm really tired.
00:47:51The female prisoner
00:47:52cast her eyes down
00:47:53and slowly squatted down.
00:47:55Sure.
00:47:56She bent over and held Hillary's leg
00:47:58while the prisoner
00:47:59hadn't applied any force yet.
00:48:01Hillary ordered,
00:48:02By the way,
00:48:03pass my dad a message
00:48:05and tell him to send me some bedding
00:48:06and stuff like that.
00:48:08Oh, and skincare products, too.
00:48:11I didn't have any products, too.
00:48:13I didn't have any products, too.
00:48:15I have skin is really dry.
00:48:17She had only just said
00:48:18that when she suddenly felt
00:48:19a sharp pain in her leg,
00:48:21the pain made her mouth open at once.
00:48:24She was about to yell
00:48:25when someone covered her mouth.
00:48:27Then another person rushed over.
00:48:30Hillary's eyes widened.
00:48:32The next moment,
00:48:33the prisoner giving her a massage
00:48:35suddenly raised her head
00:48:36and gave her a smile.
00:48:38Then she pressed down harder.
00:48:40Ugh.
00:48:41Hillary was in so much pain
00:48:43that she was covered in cold sweat all over.
00:48:46However,
00:48:46the woman didn't show any sign of stopping.
00:48:49Come.
00:48:51By the time the prisoner's
00:48:52recreation time ended,
00:48:54Hillary had been taught a good lesson.
00:48:57Upon returning to her cell
00:48:58with the rest of the prisoners,
00:49:00she immediately pulled her clothes
00:49:01to the side.
00:49:03Her body was covered in bruises,
00:49:05and some places were starting to swell,
00:49:08forming an unbearable sight.
00:49:11Tears rolled down her cheeks at once.
00:49:13Hillary,
00:49:15you have a visitor.
00:49:17She stood up abruptly.
00:49:19When she went out,
00:49:20she saw a pathetic-looking girl
00:49:21standing in the room.
00:49:23The agonized woman hugged Jill at once.
00:49:26Mom,
00:49:26you're finally here.
00:49:28They are going to bully me to death.
00:49:30Quick.
00:49:32Tell Carl the people he sent to protect me
00:49:34are bullying me every day.
00:49:36Make Carl take revenge for me
00:49:38and kill them.
00:49:40Her eyes were filled with hatred.
00:49:42Jill's eyes reddened when she heard her.
00:49:45It's been tough on you, Hillary,
00:49:47but there's nothing we can do at the moment.
00:49:50Hillary looked up at once.
00:49:52It was then that she noticed
00:49:54that Jill's cheek was also red
00:49:56and swollen on one side.
00:49:58Stunned,
00:49:59she asked.
00:50:00What happened to you?
00:50:03Jill hugged her and wept bitterly.
00:50:06When the visitation session ended,
00:50:09Hillary hugged her and shouted,
00:50:10Mom,
00:50:11you must save me.
00:50:13I will die if you don't save me.
00:50:15I really will die.
00:50:17As per the public's wishes,
00:50:19Hillary had been sentenced to life imprisonment.
00:50:23The moment she thought of how
00:50:24she would be in jail for the rest of her life,
00:50:27she felt acute despair.
00:50:29Swallow her up.
00:50:31Jill clenched her fists tightly
00:50:33as she watched her crying daughter
00:50:35being led away.
00:50:36No.
00:50:37She mustn't allow her daughter's life
00:50:39to be ruined just like that at the Smiths.
00:50:43Tanya was playing with Mia and the others.
00:50:45Nora was seated leisurely on the sofa.
00:50:48Joel and Justin were sitting on the other side.
00:50:51Cherry, who was sitting cross-legged,
00:50:53was playing games on her cell phone.
00:50:56Pete was watching Maya and Cherie for once.
00:50:59He actually wasn't doing mathematical Olympia drills.
00:51:03The family formed a happy and harmonious site,
00:51:06but in truth,
00:51:07they were actually waiting for the results
00:51:09of Lily's final DNA test.
00:51:11If the busy Lily were to see
00:51:13what they currently looked like,
00:51:15she would probably call them evil capitalists.
00:51:18Suddenly, the butler entered the room.
00:51:21He looked a little embarrassed as he said,
00:51:24Sir,
00:51:24the old Mr. Smith is here.
00:51:27The guest was Samuel Smith,
00:51:29Ian's third uncle,
00:51:30who lived in the Smiths' ancestral home.
00:51:33He was also the one who had spoken up
00:51:35for Yvonne previously.
00:51:37Joel raised his brows.
00:51:39Samuel had helped Yvonne to make a scene
00:51:41at the hospital the other time,
00:51:43but it was to no avail.
00:51:45After that,
00:51:46he had left while Yvonne was arrested
00:51:48and thrown into jail.
00:51:50What was he here for this time?
00:51:52Joel's brows drew together,
00:51:54but it wasn't like he could really drive
00:51:56his elders out of the house.
00:51:58So he said dispassionately,
00:52:00Let him in.
00:52:02The butler nodded.
00:52:03A short while later,
00:52:05Samuel came in with a woman
00:52:06who looked about 40 to 50 years old.
00:52:09Joel glanced at the two of them.
00:52:12Then he lowered his gaze and said,
00:52:14Grand Uncle Samuel,
00:52:16Grand Aunt Sue.
00:52:17Sue had married into the family
00:52:19after Samuel's first.
00:52:21Wife passed away.
00:52:23There was a shrewd and capable look
00:52:25in her eyes.
00:52:27Her eyes,
00:52:28which had a lot of life in them,
00:52:30glanced at Joel.
00:52:31Then she smiled and said,
00:52:34Joel, we haven't seen each other
00:52:35for so long.
00:52:37I heard that there was some trouble at home.
00:52:39So Samuel and I immediately hurried over
00:52:41to visit you.
00:52:43Samuel let out a cold laugh.
00:52:45Sue immediately prodded his arm,
00:52:48stopping Samuel from speaking.
00:52:50She looked at the two women
00:52:51in the living room.
00:52:53Then she went forward,
00:52:55held Nora's hand enthusiastically and said,
00:52:57You must be Nora, right?
00:53:00You look just like a Smith.
00:53:02You're so pretty.
00:53:03I heard you're engaged to Mr. Hunt.
00:53:06She looked at Justin cheerfully.
00:53:09Justin, who was unaware of all
00:53:10the inner workings of the family,
00:53:12nodded politely at her
00:53:14before Nora could say anything.
00:53:16So she took off the bangle on her hand
00:53:18and stuffed it into Nora's hand.
00:53:20Even though you've returned
00:53:21to the Smith's grandaunt,
00:53:23Sue has nothing much she can give you.
00:53:26Here, you can have some fun
00:53:28with this bangle for now.
00:53:30Nora, she narrowed her eyes slightly
00:53:33and pushed the bangle back to her.
00:53:36I can't take this.
00:53:37It's too expensive a gift.
00:53:40Sue said,
00:53:41What's so valuable about this?
00:53:44I have a distant relative
00:53:45in this line of business
00:53:46who's very knowledgeable about antiques.
00:53:49Nora, I know there was a bit
00:53:52of a misunderstanding
00:53:53between you and Samuel previously,
00:53:55but we are all Smiths here.
00:53:58We're all still connected to one another.
00:54:00No matter what happens,
00:54:02you won't hold it against him, right?
00:54:04Nora Sue was simply too who?
00:54:07Eloquent.
00:54:08She coughed just as
00:54:09she was about to say something.
00:54:11Sue stuffed the bangle back into her hand
00:54:13and turned to Tanya.
00:54:15The look in her eyes
00:54:16wasn't that humble anymore.
00:54:18She said with a smile,
00:54:21You must be Maya's mom.
00:54:23The one caught up
00:54:24in all that drama recently, right?
00:54:26The children had already
00:54:27been taken upstairs to play
00:54:29when the two of them were coming in.
00:54:32Justin didn't want to reveal
00:54:34too much about his children.
00:54:36Seeing Sue looking at her,
00:54:38Tanya nodded.
00:54:39Yes, Tanya, right.
00:54:42I met you before when you were a child.
00:54:45Sue was very enthusiastic.
00:54:48She held her hand and said,
00:54:50I was visiting the Joneses at that time
00:54:52when you were pouring us water.
00:54:53You accidentally broke the glasses.
00:54:56So your mom punished you
00:54:57by making you kneel on the floor.
00:54:59You were only five then.
00:55:01You were so small
00:55:03and looked so pitiful kneeling there.
00:55:05Her words were rather discomforting.
00:55:08However, what she said next was even worse.
00:55:11Who would have thought
00:55:12that you would become Cinderella
00:55:14and give birth to Joel's child one day?
00:55:17A child with a high status
00:55:18elevates their mother's status.
00:55:21Indeed, Tanya.
00:55:23Nora, everyone in the room
00:55:25could hear the disdain
00:55:26hidden in Sue's words.
00:55:28What did she mean by saying
00:55:29that Tanya's status had risen
00:55:31because she had given birth
00:55:33to Joel's child?
00:55:34She was clearly refusing
00:55:35to acknowledge Tanya's status.
00:55:38Who would bring up someone else's
00:55:39humiliating childhood events
00:55:41in front of other people?
00:55:43The look in Nora's eyes turned cold
00:55:45and she threw the bangle
00:55:47onto the coffee table,
00:55:48producing a crisp clang.
00:55:50However, it was as if
00:55:52Sue hadn't sensed anything at all.
00:55:55She went on and said,
00:55:57Joel, I heard that the two of you
00:55:59started dating in junior high
00:56:01and only broke up
00:56:02when you graduated from college.
00:56:06To think the two of you
00:56:07can still get together
00:56:08even after five years of separation
00:56:11and that you can still
00:56:12hold your daughter in your arms.
00:56:14Tanya, you must feel very blissful
00:56:17to be able to live
00:56:18in such a big house, right?
00:56:20The look in Tanya's eyes
00:56:22turned even colder.
00:56:23She wanted to pull her hand
00:56:25out of the woman's grip,
00:56:26but Sue kept holding her hand tightly.
00:56:29People mustn't forget their roots, Tanya.
00:56:32It was the Joneses who fed you
00:56:34and brought you up.
00:56:36Now that you have married
00:56:37into a rich family,
00:56:38let's not talk about
00:56:39repaying their kindness anymore.
00:56:41But at the very least,
00:56:43you mustn't be an ingrate, right?
00:56:46Tanya narrowed her eyes.
00:56:49I don't understand
00:56:50what you're trying to say, Mrs. Smith.
00:56:52Joel also got up abruptly.
00:56:55His expression turned cold,
00:56:56and he said,
00:56:58Tanya, why don't you go upstairs
00:57:00and take a look at the child?
00:57:01Miaia seems to be calling out for you.
00:57:04Then he looked at Susan,
00:57:07said, Grand Aunt Sue,
00:57:09how rare of you to visit us today.
00:57:12If you have something to say,
00:57:14then why don't you speak with me instead?
00:57:18Joel was still smiling,
00:57:19but he had completely
00:57:21unleashed his powerful aura.
00:57:24Tanya breathed a sigh of relief.
00:57:27She didn't want to argue with people
00:57:28from the older generation of the Smiths.
00:57:31After all, it was very awkward
00:57:33for her to be living here at the moment.
00:57:35She and Joel weren't married,
00:57:37but because she couldn't bear
00:57:38to be apart from her daughter.
00:57:40Besides, she had only
00:57:42just been reunited with her.
00:57:44She could only stay at the Smiths.
00:57:47It was very embarrassing for her
00:57:49every time the nannies
00:57:51addressed her as Miss Turner,
00:57:52yet she couldn't be so hypocritical
00:57:55as to bring up leaving.
00:57:56Carl was still in New York.
00:57:59What if Jill got him to send people
00:58:01to take revenge on her?
00:58:03At the very least,
00:58:04before the DNA report was out,
00:58:06there was no way
00:58:07she could leave the Smith Manor.
00:58:10However, in the eyes of outsiders,
00:58:13her actions were no different
00:58:14from how Hillary had so shamelessly
00:58:17insisted on living
00:58:17with the Smiths back then.
00:58:20Some people would undoubtedly
00:58:21look down on her.
00:58:23They would think of her
00:58:24as someone clinging
00:58:25shamelessly to the Smiths,
00:58:27as if what she was interested in
00:58:28was Joel's money.
00:58:30She couldn't be bothered
00:58:31to explain, though.
00:58:33She stood up and got ready
00:58:34to go upstairs.
00:58:35However, before she could go,
00:58:38Samuel let out a humpf,
00:58:40looked at Joel and said,
00:58:42What's the problem, Joel?
00:58:44Is your grandaunt not allowed
00:58:46to chastise your woman even a little?
00:58:49Joel's expression turned cold at once.
00:58:51Grand Uncle Samuel,
00:58:53perhaps it's because I haven't done
00:58:55the proper introductions yet.
00:58:57But Tanya is my fiancé.
00:58:59She is also the future
00:59:00matriarch of the Smiths.
00:59:02May I know what Grand Aunt Sue
00:59:04is planning to lecture her about?
00:59:06Who would dare to lecture
00:59:07the matriarch of the family?
00:59:10The only reason why they had
00:59:11the audacity to go
00:59:12this far right now
00:59:14was that he and Tanya
00:59:15weren't married yet.
00:59:17Joel found Samuel
00:59:18very annoying and bothersome.
00:59:20But unfortunately,
00:59:22he was the oldest in the family,
00:59:24so he couldn't casually
00:59:25refuse him an audience
00:59:27or drive him out.
00:59:29When he said that,
00:59:30Samuel laughed and said,
00:59:32Joel, you must be kidding, right?
00:59:34Her.
00:59:36What gives her the right
00:59:37to be the matriarch of the Smiths?
00:59:39I was already disapproving
00:59:40of your engagement
00:59:41to Hillary Jones back then.
00:59:43The Joneses are just
00:59:44a small nobody family.
00:59:46How can they be worthy of you?
00:59:48Even the mention of it
00:59:49is an embarrassment to the Smiths.
00:59:51I was even thinking of
00:59:53introducing you to someone
00:59:54of suitable and matching status
00:59:57when you broke off
00:59:57your engagement with her.
00:59:59But I didn't expect you
01:00:00to find yourself another woman
01:00:02with an even worse background.
01:00:05The one from the Joneses
01:00:06is at least the young
01:00:07mistress of their family.
01:00:09But what about this one?
01:00:11She's just extra baggage
01:00:12that that woman from the Joneses
01:00:14Joneses brought with her
01:00:15when she married into the family.
01:00:18Is there anyone who doesn't know
01:00:20that the Joneses
01:00:21have never liked her
01:00:22throughout her entire life?
01:00:24On top of that,
01:00:25she has such a weird temperament
01:00:27that even her own mother loads her.
01:00:30How can such an unruly person
01:00:32be the matriarch of the Smiths?
01:00:35Sue echoed him.
01:00:36He's right.
01:00:37Joel, you'd better not
01:00:39let her trick you
01:00:40and talk you into being impulsive.
01:00:42If you marry her,
01:00:43you will end up a joke
01:00:44in all the wealthy circles in New York.
01:00:47I'm saying this for your own good.
01:00:49No one will say anything
01:00:51if you keep her as your mistress
01:00:53and have some fun with her.
01:00:55But you have to be careful
01:00:56about who you give the identity
01:00:59of the matriarch of the Smiths to.
01:01:01I have someone
01:01:02who I can introduce to you.
01:01:04Not only does she have
01:01:05a good personality,
01:01:07but she also has a good character.
01:01:10Why don't I introduce
01:01:11the two of you to each other?
01:01:13Seeing how they were crossing the line
01:01:15further and further with their words,
01:01:17the cold Joel said,
01:01:18I haven't reached the point
01:01:19where I need other people
01:01:21to dictate who I should be choosing
01:01:23as my wife.
01:01:24Besides,
01:01:25Uncle Ian has already approved of Tanya.
01:01:29Ian held great authority in the Smiths.
01:01:32Even Samuel didn't dare
01:01:33to behave obnoxiously.
01:01:35In front of Ian,
01:01:37even if he was older than him.
01:01:39It was just that the difference
01:01:41in generational roles
01:01:42between Ian and Samuel
01:01:43was simply too big.
01:01:46That was why he had the guts
01:01:47to come over and say such things.
01:01:49However, Samuel sneered and said,
01:01:52I only said a few words.
01:01:54Yet you're saying that I'm dictating
01:01:55what you should be doing.
01:01:57Do you have any idea
01:01:58that word has already spread
01:02:00throughout the wealthy circle
01:02:01in New York?
01:02:03That you've gone out of your mind
01:02:05because of a woman?
01:02:06It's to the extent that you're already
01:02:08going against Carl Moore.
01:02:10If being a hero is what you want,
01:02:12then by all means,
01:02:14go ahead.
01:02:15But why are you putting
01:02:16the Smiths at stake?
01:02:18As a result,
01:02:19you may not be afraid of death,
01:02:21but we want to live.
01:02:23Swain added repeatedly.
01:02:25He's right, Joel.
01:02:27However, our focus right now
01:02:29isn't about who the matriarch
01:02:30of the Smiths is.
01:02:33After all,
01:02:34it's not set in stone yet.
01:02:36I'm actually here today
01:02:38to persuade you to reconcile
01:02:39with the Joneses.
01:02:41She looked at Tanya and said,
01:02:44Hillary stole your child
01:02:46and deceived Joel.
01:02:47There's no doubt that
01:02:48she made a mistake there.
01:02:50But Jill is still your mother,
01:02:51no matter what, right?
01:02:54Surely you can't disregard
01:02:55even your own mother, right?
01:02:57You and Hillary
01:02:59are technically sisters.
01:03:00Rather than making a fool
01:03:02out of yourselves
01:03:02in front of outsiders.
01:03:04In my opinion,
01:03:06why not let the whole thing
01:03:07pass altogether?
01:03:09We can have the two families reconcile
01:03:11while you forgive Hillary.
01:03:13Let Joel do something about it
01:03:15and have her acquitted.
01:03:17This way,
01:03:18you won't make a fool out of yourself
01:03:19in front of others anymore.
01:03:21Don't you think I'm right?
01:03:23Tanya?
01:03:25Her expression turned cold.
01:03:27Mrs. Smith,
01:03:28I will never forgive a woman
01:03:29who stole my child.
01:03:31So I would advise you
01:03:33not to bother
01:03:34persuading us any further.
01:03:36If not,
01:03:37you can't hold it against me
01:03:39if I don't show you any courtesy.
01:03:41Sue curled her lips disdainfully.
01:03:44However,
01:03:44she took a step forward
01:03:45and held her hand again.
01:03:47You silly girl.
01:03:49I'm not doing this for the Joneses.
01:03:51I'm doing this for you.
01:03:53Think about it.
01:03:54How are you going to gain
01:03:55a foothold in the Smiths
01:03:56when you don't have
01:03:57a notable background,
01:03:58no matter how awful
01:03:59the Joneses are?
01:04:01They can still be considered
01:04:02your family.
01:04:04If you fall out with them,
01:04:05you'll really become
01:04:06someone without a family.
01:04:09If a woman without
01:04:10a notable background like you
01:04:12doesn't have anyone
01:04:13backing you up,
01:04:14how are you going to be with Joel?
01:04:16Am I wrong?
01:04:18Her words made Tanya
01:04:19feel incredibly furious
01:04:21and shamed.
01:04:22Honestly speaking,
01:04:23her status was indeed
01:04:24too low in comparison
01:04:25with Joel's.
01:04:27After all,
01:04:28the Smiths' status
01:04:29was clear for all to see.
01:04:31Moreover,
01:04:32she was already
01:04:33way past the point
01:04:34in her youthful days
01:04:36where love eclipsed
01:04:37all were it back then.
01:04:39She would have said mockingly,
01:04:42So what?
01:04:43Even if I don't have
01:04:44a notable background,
01:04:46Joel and I are truly
01:04:48in love with each other.
01:04:49However,
01:04:51the five years
01:04:51she had spent living abroad
01:04:53had made her thoroughly understand
01:04:54what life really was like.
01:04:57She had also come to understand
01:04:58that one's birth
01:04:59and family background
01:05:00were indeed
01:05:01their first hurdle in life.
01:05:03Some people were born
01:05:05at the top of the pyramid,
01:05:06but she was instead
01:05:08at the furthest end of the line.
01:05:10Unable to hold a candle to them,
01:05:12she clenched her fists tightly
01:05:15and her face flushed with shame.
01:05:17Nora couldn't make herself
01:05:18listen anymore.
01:05:20She looked up and said
01:05:21in a low voice,
01:05:23Who says she doesn't have
01:05:24anyone backing her up?
01:05:27Sue looked at her,
01:05:29she didn't want to offend Nora.
01:05:31After all,
01:05:32she was Ian's daughter.
01:05:33The entire family knew
01:05:35just how protective
01:05:36Ian was of his own.
01:05:38If she dared so much
01:05:39as to look at Nora
01:05:41the wrong way,
01:05:42Ian would surely crawl
01:05:43all the way out of the hospital
01:05:45and barge into their home
01:05:47to beat them up.
01:05:48The very next moment,
01:05:49however,
01:05:51she still curled her lips
01:05:52disdainfully
01:05:53at the bottom of it all.
01:05:55She was still just a girl
01:05:57raised in a small household
01:05:58in a small town in California.
01:06:00She simply spoke so arrogantly
01:06:03and was completely lacking
01:06:04in foundation and cultivation.
01:06:07She asked with a big smile,
01:06:10Oh, is Tanya the daughter
01:06:12of an internationally
01:06:13wealthy family?
01:06:15So she comes from a
01:06:16very impressive family.
01:06:18Why haven't I heard
01:06:19of that Tanya?
01:06:21Just as Tanya was at
01:06:22a loss for words,
01:06:23Nora glanced at Justin.
01:06:26Justin got the hint
01:06:27and got up at once.
01:06:29Mrs. Smith,
01:06:30I forgot to make
01:06:31the introductions.
01:06:33Tanya is my younger
01:06:34god-sister.
01:06:35As soon as he said that,
01:06:36Nora coughed and retorted,
01:06:39She's your elder god-sister.
01:06:41Tanya was a year
01:06:42older than Nora.
01:06:44Justin, he coughed and said,
01:06:46Well, yes.
01:06:48Therefore the Hunts
01:06:49are her family.
01:06:50Sue narrowed her eyes
01:06:51at once.
01:06:52She smiled awkwardly
01:06:53and said,
01:06:55Hey, Miss Turner
01:06:56sure is pretty skilled
01:06:57at becoming god-relatives
01:06:58with others.
01:07:00However,
01:07:01with Justin standing there,
01:07:03she ultimately didn't
01:07:04dare to say anything else.
01:07:06At this moment,
01:07:07the butler outside
01:07:09came in again.
01:07:10This time,
01:07:11he had a solemn
01:07:12look on his face.
01:07:13Upon entering,
01:07:15he immediately said,
01:07:17Mr. Joel,
01:07:17Carl Moore has brought
01:07:18his men here again.
01:07:20Joel?
01:07:21He narrowed his eyes
01:07:23and subconsciously
01:07:24exchanged to look
01:07:25with Justin.
01:07:26In this instant,
01:07:27both men had figured out
01:07:29what Carl was here for.
01:07:31Even if Lily's test
01:07:32results weren't out yet,
01:07:34Carl had the DNA
01:07:35test expedited.
01:07:36So the lab completed it
01:07:38in three hours for him.
01:07:39On the other hand,
01:07:41after Nora retrieved
01:07:42Carl's hair samples,
01:07:44she had gone to the hospital
01:07:45to pass them to Lily,
01:07:47who then went to the
01:07:48relevant departments
01:07:49to borrow their equipment
01:07:50and so on.
01:07:51As a result,
01:07:53they were delayed
01:07:53by an hour.
01:07:55However,
01:07:56if Tanya wasn't
01:07:57Carl's daughter,
01:07:58he would not have
01:07:59come to the Smiths,
01:08:01but gone to break
01:08:01Hillary out of jail instead.
01:08:04Therefore,
01:08:05a relaxed Joel said,
01:08:07Invite him into the house.
01:08:09The butler nodded
01:08:10and left.
01:08:12However,
01:08:12he didn't expect
01:08:13Samuel to suddenly
01:08:14latch onto this.
01:08:16He looked straight
01:08:17at Joel and said,
01:08:18Did you see that?
01:08:20He's here again.
01:08:21He must be here
01:08:22because of the Joneses again.
01:08:24If you ask me,
01:08:25you shouldn't have
01:08:26offended people like him.
01:08:28Sue also said,
01:08:30Yes, this is so scary.
01:08:33I heard that gangsters
01:08:34like them don't give
01:08:35two hoots about anything
01:08:36and are very unreasonable.
01:08:38We, the Smiths,
01:08:40are people who obey
01:08:41the rules and do
01:08:42business legitimately.
01:08:44We can't offend
01:08:45big figures like him.
01:08:47Joel,
01:08:48you have to think
01:08:49this through carefully.
01:08:50Are you really
01:08:51going to fight him
01:08:52at the cost of our family?
01:08:54Joel sneered at their words.
01:08:56He lowered his gaze
01:08:57and said slowly,
01:08:59Grand Uncle Samuel
01:09:00and Grand Aunt Sue,
01:09:02Perhaps Carl is here
01:09:03to make peace.
01:09:04That's impossible.
01:09:06You must be out of your mind,
01:09:07Samuel angrily rebuked.
01:09:10Why would someone like him
01:09:11bow down to you?
01:09:12He's definitely here
01:09:13to settle scores with you.
01:09:15You'd better hurry
01:09:16and think about
01:09:17what to say to him.
01:09:19Then he looked at Tanya
01:09:20earnestly and said,
01:09:21And you too,
01:09:23even if you are not
01:09:24a daughter-in-law of the Smiths,
01:09:25yet you are still
01:09:27more or less Joel's woman.
01:09:29Can't you be a bit more sensible
01:09:31and not make so much
01:09:32trouble for the Smiths?
01:09:37You are still young,
01:09:38so you must feel like
01:09:39you have to get even with them.
01:09:41But by doing so,
01:09:43do you know how much risk
01:09:45you're putting the Smiths at?
01:09:47There are tons of people
01:09:48waiting to see you.
01:09:49Make a fool out of yourself.
01:09:51Hurry and talk
01:09:52some sense into Joel.
01:09:54I don't think the Joneses
01:09:55want the child anymore,
01:09:57so why not just have
01:09:58the two families reconcile?
01:10:00Tanya's thoughts were
01:10:01not on these matters
01:10:02at the moment.
01:10:03However,
01:10:04she stared at the doorway
01:10:06with complicated feelings.
01:10:08She had a vague inkling
01:10:10why Carl had suddenly
01:10:11come to the Smiths.
01:10:13She had already considered
01:10:14the possibility
01:10:16when Lily went to
01:10:17redo the DNA test.
01:10:18But was he really her father
01:10:20in that case?
01:10:22Did she want to acknowledge him?
01:10:24She was in an internal
01:10:25struggle about this,
01:10:27so she didn't hear
01:10:28Samuel and Sue
01:10:29going on and on by themselves.
01:10:31At this point,
01:10:32Carl,
01:10:33together with three of his men,
01:10:35strode through the doorway
01:10:36into the living room.
01:10:38As he entered,
01:10:39his gaze immediately
01:10:41landed on Tanya excitedly.
01:10:43Even his voice was trembling
01:10:45a little as he asked,
01:10:47You must be Tanya, right?
01:10:49Joel stepped in front of Tanya,
01:10:51looked at Carl,
01:10:52and said unceremoniously,
01:10:54Mr. Moore,
01:10:56may I know what you are here for?
01:10:59He spoke aggressively,
01:11:00which shocked Samuel.
01:11:02Samuel immediately
01:11:03grabbed his arm and said,
01:11:05Mr. Moore, my apologies.
01:11:07Joel is still young and ignorant.
01:11:10You must be here to propose
01:11:11reconciliation, right?
01:11:14Carl was a little displeased
01:11:15that Joel was blocking
01:11:17his view of Tanya.
01:11:18But when he thought of
01:11:19how he was the man
01:11:20whom Tanya loved,
01:11:22he didn't dare to offend him.
01:11:24As a result,
01:11:25he could only look away
01:11:27in dejection.
01:11:28He replied,
01:11:29I'm here to talk to Tanya.
01:11:32Samuel immediately gave him
01:11:34an obsequious smile.
01:11:36Yes, that's right.
01:11:37We shouldn't be impulsive.
01:11:40Let's all sit down
01:11:41and talk it out.
01:11:42He glanced at Sue at once.
01:11:45Sue got the hint.
01:11:47She grabbed Tanya's wrist,
01:11:49lowered her voice and said,
01:11:51Miss Turner,
01:11:51if you are not stupid,
01:11:53then you should know
01:11:54what kind of choice to make, right?
01:11:57Tanya frowned.
01:11:58What?
01:12:00Sue finally said,
01:12:01I'm actually here
01:12:02because your mother came to me,
01:12:03asked me to talk to you.
01:12:05I believe that once you
01:12:06take a step back and give in,
01:12:08the Joneses will owe you one
01:12:10and support you in the future.
01:12:13In which case,
01:12:14it won't be impossible
01:12:15for you to marry Joel.
01:12:17But if you insist
01:12:19on falling out with the Joneses
01:12:20and forcing the Smiths
01:12:21to offend Mr. Moore,
01:12:23then I am afraid you can forget
01:12:25about ever establishing
01:12:26a foothold in the Smiths.
01:12:28You must have a good talk
01:12:30with Mr. Moore.
01:12:31Try to meet all of his demands.
01:12:34He is an influential figure
01:12:36that someone like you
01:12:37cannot afford to offend.
01:12:39An influential figure.
01:12:41Tanya looked at Carl.
01:12:43She had never been afraid
01:12:44of influential people.
01:12:46After all,
01:12:47Carl was only one thing
01:12:49to her at the moment.
01:12:50A father who had tried
01:12:51to help someone else
01:12:52to take her child from her.
01:12:54When Sue saw that
01:12:55she wasn't saying anything,
01:12:57she went on.
01:12:59You'd best not do anything stupid.
01:13:01I'll tell you this.
01:13:03Joel is willing to stand up
01:13:05for you today
01:13:06because he's still in love with you.
01:13:08Now, once he gets bored of you,
01:13:10he can easily push you out
01:13:12and make you suffer.
01:13:14You know what I mean, right?
01:13:16Tanya lowered her gaze
01:13:17and replied,
01:13:18Frosty?
01:13:20Yeah.
01:13:22Then she walked around.
01:13:24Sue stood right next to Joel
01:13:26and looked at Carl.
01:13:27She said very coldly,
01:13:29I have nothing to say to you.
01:13:32Anger filled inside her
01:13:33the moment she thought
01:13:34of how Carl had forced them
01:13:36to go to court with Hillary.
01:13:38Her words and behavior shocked.
01:13:40So she and Samuel
01:13:42looked at each other
01:13:43and hastily took a step forward.
01:13:46Sue grabbed Tanya
01:13:47and chastised her child.
01:13:49Watch the way you speak.
01:13:51Samuel looked at Carl and explained,
01:13:53Don't take this the wrong way, Mr.
01:13:55Moore.
01:13:56She is from a small family
01:13:58so she doesn't know
01:13:59how to speak properly.
01:14:00Rest assured that her attitude
01:14:02is not representative of the Smiths.
01:14:05After all,
01:14:06she is not Joel's wife yet.
01:14:08He then looked at Tanya
01:14:09and reprimanded her loudly.
01:14:11What kind of attitude
01:14:13do you think you're taking
01:14:13towards Mr. Moore?
01:14:15Hurry up and apologize.
01:14:17Joel's eyes turned cold.
01:14:19However, when he saw
01:14:20that Carl's expression had darkened,
01:14:22he thought for a while
01:14:23and decided not to say anything.
01:14:26Tanya would be living
01:14:27with the Smiths in the future.
01:14:30If Carl unleashed his wrath,
01:14:33perhaps he would be able
01:14:34to intimidate those two old fogies
01:14:37and stop them from creating
01:14:38so much trouble in the future.
01:14:40His silence made Samuel think
01:14:42that he had given him
01:14:43his tacit approval.
01:14:45Thus, his voice became even louder
01:14:48as he reprimanded Tanya.
01:14:50I'm talking to you.
01:14:52Why aren't you listening?
01:14:54Hurry up and apologize.
01:14:56Tanya lowered her head and sneered.
01:14:59He doesn't deserve my apology.
01:15:01Her words horrified Samuel
01:15:03even further.
01:15:04He looked back up.
01:15:06Sure enough,
01:15:07Carl was already pulling
01:15:08a long face.
01:15:09He immediately misunderstood
01:15:11and hastily scolded
01:15:12Tanya angrily again.
01:15:14What's the matter with you?
01:15:16If you don't apologize,
01:15:17then you can forget
01:15:18about ever marrying
01:15:19into the Smiths.
01:15:21Then he turned to Carl.
01:15:22Mr. Moore,
01:15:24please don't be mistaken.
01:15:26Next to him,
01:15:27Sue also said,
01:15:28Mr. Moore,
01:15:30don't be angry,
01:15:32insensible,
01:15:33awkward,
01:15:33foul-mouthed,
01:15:34and short-sighted.
01:15:36She has always been like this
01:15:37since she was a child.
01:15:39It's all because
01:15:40she's a straight child
01:15:41without a father
01:15:42to bring her up.
01:15:44That's why she has
01:15:44no family upbringing whatsoever.
01:15:47As soon as she said that,
01:15:48she heard a click.
01:15:50The next moment,
01:15:51an icy cold object
01:15:53was pointed right at her head.
01:15:55She was stunned.
01:15:57She slowly turned her head
01:15:58to see a pitch-black hole
01:16:00aimed at her head.
01:16:01When she realized what it was,
01:16:03Sue's legs went limp
01:16:05and she almost fell
01:16:06straight onto the floor.
01:16:07She was so terrified
01:16:09that she was shaking all over.
01:16:11She pointed to Tanya and said,
01:16:13Mr. Moore,
01:16:14you,
01:16:15you are pointing that
01:16:16at the wrong person.
01:16:17Tanya is over there.
01:16:19Carl's gaze,
01:16:20however,
01:16:21was fixed right on her.
01:16:23She had the guts
01:16:24to mock his daughter
01:16:25when he was standing
01:16:26right in front of her.
01:16:28He then thought of
01:16:29all the things
01:16:29that his men had found out
01:16:31about Tanya
01:16:32while they were on their way here.
01:16:34His daughter had suffered
01:16:35so much all these years.
01:16:37Just the mere thought of it
01:16:39made his heart ache terribly.
01:16:42He asked coldly,
01:16:44Did you just say
01:16:44that she doesn't have a father?
01:16:47Sue immediately nodded.
01:16:49Yes, yes.
01:16:50That's right.
01:16:52She is.
01:16:53The extra baggage
01:16:54that Jill brought with her
01:16:55when she married into the Joneses.
01:16:57Everyone knows that.
01:16:59I even heard
01:17:00that Jill's ex-lover
01:17:01was some small-time gangster
01:17:02with a gangster.
01:17:04For a father,
01:17:05she must be rotten
01:17:06through and through either.
01:17:08Almost as soon as she said
01:17:09that she heard a bang,
01:17:10a gunshot ring out
01:17:12right beside Susie,
01:17:13which made her jump
01:17:14in shock and fright.
01:17:15Her trousers immediately
01:17:17became scorching hot.
01:17:19When she recovered,
01:17:20she saw that the gunshot
01:17:22had landed right next to her foot.
01:17:24It had even created
01:17:25a small hole
01:17:27in the Smith's marble flooring.
01:17:29Her legs turned into jelly
01:17:31and she fell onto the floor.
01:17:33Carl blew at the muzzle
01:17:35and dissipated.
01:17:37The smoke rising out of it.
01:17:39Then,
01:17:40as if nothing noteworthy
01:17:42had happened,
01:17:43he said,
01:17:44Sorry.
01:17:46It went off accidentally.
01:17:48Sue.
01:17:51She nodded obediently.
01:17:53Before she could say anything,
01:17:55Carl lifted the gun
01:17:57and pointed the pitch-black hole
01:17:58at her again.
01:18:00Carl's voice seemed like
01:18:01it was coming from the heavens,
01:18:03yet also as if
01:18:04it was close at hand.
01:18:06He said,
01:18:06Hearing you insulting me like that
01:18:08doesn't make me very happy, though.
01:18:11How am I a small-time gangster?
01:18:13How is my daughter
01:18:14rotten through and through
01:18:16Sue Samuel,
01:18:17who was also scared
01:18:18witless beside her?
01:18:19Both of them looked at Carl.
01:18:21Question marks popping up
01:18:23in their minds
01:18:24at the same time.
01:18:26Just as the two were utterly confused
01:18:29about what was going on,
01:18:30Tanya's voice rang out.
01:18:32I'm not your daughter.
01:18:34Carl immediately stopped
01:18:35paying attention to Sue.
01:18:38It was just that
01:18:39he didn't move his hand away either,
01:18:41so the gun was still pointed at her,
01:18:44making her afraid to move.
01:18:46Carl panicked and said,
01:18:48Tanya,
01:18:49Dad knows he's in the wrong now.
01:18:51Jill tricked me.
01:18:53She told me that Hillary
01:18:55is my daughter.
01:18:56That's why I helped her
01:18:57to take your child, Samuel.
01:18:59The two of them felt
01:19:00that they might be
01:19:01mishearing things due to old age.
01:19:03What did Carl just say?
01:19:05Samuel swallowed
01:19:06and asked Mr. Moore.
01:19:08What do you mean?
01:19:10Carl,
01:19:11who was very troubled
01:19:12that his daughter
01:19:13was refusing to acknowledge him,
01:19:15immediately replied angrily.
01:19:17What I'm saying is,
01:19:19Tanya is my daughter
01:19:20and I'm her father.
01:19:22I will fight everyone
01:19:23who dares to bully my daughter
01:19:24to the death, Samuel.
01:19:27When Sue heard the words
01:19:28to the death
01:19:29and saw the muzzle again,
01:19:30her eyes suddenly
01:19:32rolled up in fright
01:19:33and she passed out.
01:19:34Her lower body was all wet.
01:19:37However,
01:19:38no one was paying
01:19:39any attention to that
01:19:40at the moment.
01:19:42Carl was anxious
01:19:42to acknowledge his daughter,
01:19:44but Tanya had a complicated
01:19:46look on her face.
01:19:48She couldn't accept him
01:19:49right away.
01:19:50While the two were
01:19:51looking at each other,
01:19:52the butler at the door
01:19:53came in again
01:19:54with a complicated look
01:19:55on his countenance.
01:19:57He looked at Tanya and said,
01:19:59Miss Turner,
01:20:01Mrs. Jones is here.
01:20:03She's at the door
01:20:04and insisting that you go out.
01:20:07Tanya frowned.
01:20:09She glanced at Carl
01:20:09before she turned
01:20:10and went out.
01:20:12The moment she came
01:20:13to the manor's gates,
01:20:14she saw Jill standing outside
01:20:16with a group of reporters.
01:20:18Jill was currently
01:20:19holding a dagger
01:20:19to her neck.
01:20:21As soon as Tanya appeared,
01:20:23she yelled,
01:20:24Tanya,
01:20:25write and sign off
01:20:27on a letter of forgiveness
01:20:28right away.
01:20:30Save Hillary
01:20:31and get her out of jail.
01:20:32Her eyes were icy cold.
01:20:35Even if we have severed
01:20:36our ties as mother and daughter,
01:20:38it doesn't change the fact
01:20:39that I am still your mother.
01:20:41My blood flows
01:20:42through your veins.
01:20:43If you refuse to save Hillary,
01:20:45I will kill myself
01:20:46right in front of you.
01:20:47Everyone is watching.
01:20:50You drove your mother
01:20:51to kill herself.
01:20:52I want you to never
01:20:53be able to rest in peace
01:20:55for the rest of your life.
01:20:57As soon as she said that,
01:20:59a fervor went
01:21:00through the reporters.
01:21:02A mother killing herself
01:21:03in front of her daughter.
01:21:05This was breaking news.
01:21:07Everyone rushed forward
01:21:09with their cameras
01:21:09and pointed their microphones
01:21:11at Tanya.
01:21:12Ms. Turner,
01:21:13what is your decision?
01:21:15Ms. Turner,
01:21:16are you really going
01:21:17to disregard your mother's life?
01:21:19If she dies here,
01:21:21you'll become the person
01:21:22responsible for
01:21:22driving her to her death.
01:21:24And you will definitely
01:21:25regret it in the future.
01:21:27Ms. Turner,
01:21:28hurry up
01:21:29and accede to her request.
01:21:30Ms. Turner,
01:21:32at the same time,
01:21:33there were also people
01:21:34doing live streams
01:21:35of the situation
01:21:36with a microphone in his hand.
01:21:38A reporter spoke
01:21:39to his live stream audience
01:21:41and said,
01:21:42I heard that Tanya's mother
01:21:43has never treated her well
01:21:45ever since she was a child,
01:21:47but she is ultimately
01:21:48still her mother
01:21:49and the person
01:21:50who gave birth to her.
01:21:52She gave Ms. Turner life.
01:21:55Surely the fact alone
01:21:56that she hadn't abandoned
01:21:58Ms. Turner,
01:21:59but fed her
01:22:00and brought her up
01:22:01all the way
01:22:01until she became an adult
01:22:03is enough that Ms. Turner
01:22:05shouldn't let her down.
01:22:07Right?
01:22:08People were also commenting
01:22:09in the live stream.
01:22:11It's all over.
01:22:13Tanya has gotten
01:22:14into huge trouble now.
01:22:16She doesn't need
01:22:17a mother like that.
01:22:18She shouldn't forgive her.
01:22:20Why should she forgive her?
01:22:22What a horrific mother.
01:22:24But if Tanya doesn't save her,
01:22:27she will really become
01:22:28someone who killed
01:22:28her own mother
01:22:30no matter what.
01:22:31She brought Tanya
01:22:32into the world.
01:22:33What can she do now?
01:22:35Can Tanya really
01:22:36watch her mother die
01:22:37in front of her?
01:22:39Even without looking
01:22:40at the comments,
01:22:41Jill seemed to know
01:22:42what the people would say.
01:22:44She sneered at Tanya
01:22:45and brought the dagger
01:22:47even closer to her neck.
01:22:49Someone wanted to come forward
01:22:50and stop her,
01:22:51but she shouted,
01:22:52don't come near.
01:22:54If you come any nearer,
01:22:56I will stab myself
01:22:57with the dagger.
01:22:59Her words made
01:23:00everyone stop.
01:23:01Tanya looked at her.
01:23:03In this instant,
01:23:04her heart was dead.
01:23:05Would you look at that?
01:23:07That was her mother.
01:23:09For the sake
01:23:09of her other daughter,
01:23:10she was willing
01:23:11to threaten her
01:23:12with her own life.
01:23:13Tanya closed her eyes.
01:23:16She felt like a trapped beast,
01:23:18forced into the most
01:23:19desperate of situations.
01:23:21What could she do?
01:23:23In her despair,
01:23:24Carl and Nora
01:23:25came out of the manor.
