00:00:00Before listening from episode 490,

00:00:031 to episode 500,

00:00:05don't forget supporting me by buying for me a coffee from the link in the description or in the first comment or below the

00:00:12video to motivate me.

00:00:14Nora did not understand why Caleb would suddenly say this while she was in a daze.

00:00:19A deep and magnetic voice interrupted, the two of them domineering.

00:00:24Lee.

00:00:26Mr. Gray, it's a pity that there are no ifs in this world.

00:00:30She was slightly stunned and turned around to see Justin standing behind her.

00:00:35He stretched out a hand and pressed it on Nora's shoulder as if he was announcing his sovereignty.

00:00:40His eyes were even deeper as he looked at Caleb also. I don't need anyone to help me raise my child and wife.

00:00:48After saying this, he looked at Nora. Are you guys done talking?

00:00:53Nora? Yes.

00:00:55For some reason, when she met the man's eyes, she felt guilty as if she had been caught red-handed.

00:01:02Justin lowered his head slightly and smoothed her hair before smiling. Then, come home with me.

00:01:09Cherry and Pete won't sleep without you. All right?

00:01:13The two children were clearly very sensible.

00:01:17Why did he say that?

00:01:19They would not sleep without their mommy.

00:01:22Nora's lips twitched as she followed Justin out.

00:01:25After taking two steps, she was suddenly stopped. Miss Smith.

00:01:30Nora turned around and saw Caleb standing up as well.

00:01:33He continued to cough and when he met Justin's hostile gaze, he smiled.

00:01:38I just want to ask you one last question. Go ahead.

00:01:43Nora was very polite to him. After all, this person was in the same generation as her mother.

00:01:50Actually, she still had to call him Uncle Caleb, said. Since you recognized me,

00:01:55why didn't you bring anyone with you? These words made Nora pause.

00:02:01After some thought, she suddenly smiled.

00:02:04I believe in my mother.

00:02:07Caleb was stunned.

00:02:09Nora said,

00:02:10She handed me to you, so you probably won't harm me. By the same logic, since I don't know the truth,

00:02:16I can't have you arrested just like that.

00:02:20Caleb's eyes revealed a hint of relief. He lowered his head and coughed twice before smiling. I understand.

00:02:27Nora glanced at him and could not help but say, if there's anything you need my help with, please feel free to ask.

00:02:34After all, he had protected her for so many years. If he asked her to help treat an illness,

00:02:41she would definitely not reject him.

00:02:44Caleb nodded. Okay.

00:02:46After saying this, Nora left with Justin. Caleb stood at the same spot and watched the two of them leave.

00:02:53Suddenly, he lowered his eyes, revealing a lonely look.

00:02:58He returned to the hotel. As soon as he entered, he heard Truman's sharp voice.

00:03:04What were you guys talking about? Caleb coughed. It's nothing. You don't need to know,

00:03:11Truman sneered. Caleb, have you forgotten who you are?

00:03:15Caleb did not say anything.

00:03:18Truman seemed to see through his thoughts as he smiled. I know you like her. For the first time,

00:03:24Caleb's tone became serious. Don't speak nonsense.

00:03:31This is the first time I'm seeing you angry. To be able to make the usually gentle, you so angry.

00:03:38It looks like I've exposed your thoughts.

00:03:41Are you regretting now that the person engaged to her back then was not you?

00:03:46Moreover, it should have been you. Shut up. Cough, cough, cough, coughed.

00:03:51It's so fun to see you so exasperated right now.

00:03:55Ha ha ha ha ha.

00:03:57If you don't tell me what you were talking about, do you think I won't know? I'll definitely find a way.

00:04:03Caleb, you better recognize reality and not betray the organization.

00:04:08Okay.

00:04:10Nora did not know about the dispute in the hotel at this moment.

00:04:14She was driving with Justin on the way back to the Smiths.

00:04:17The man sat in the front passenger seat and did not say a word.

00:04:21Nora glanced at him from the corner of her eye, her lips curled up slightly.

00:04:27Why do I smell jealousy just inside? He really couldn't do anything to her.

00:04:32He was about to say something when Nora's phone rang. She picked up the call and Maureen's voice came from the other end.

00:04:40Nora, where did you and Mr. Hunt go?

00:04:44Mrs. Hunt was here when he heard this.

00:04:48Justin's phone rang. He picked it up and Brenda's voice came from the other end.

00:04:53Justin, Grandma went to the Smiths. Nora Justin at the Smiths.

00:04:58Joel looked at Mrs. Hunt politely.

00:05:01Mrs. Hunt, it's already so late.

00:05:04Why did you come to the Smiths?

00:05:06You could have called me over if there's anything supported by the butler.

00:05:10Mrs. Hunt bent over and looked upstairs with a walking stick in her hand.

00:05:14Where's Justin? Joel coughed.

00:05:17He went out. Mrs. Hunt asked again.

00:05:21Went out, but I heard from his office that Justin doesn't have to work overtime today.

00:05:26Where's Miss Smith?

00:05:28Joel.

00:05:29She went out too. Mrs. Hunt laughed dryly. So the two of them abandoned their children and went out together.

00:05:37Joel was a little awkward.

00:05:39Not really.

00:05:40Why did they take the children out as well? Joel explained.

00:05:45Mr. Hunt went to pick Nora up from work.

00:05:48Mrs. Hunt lowered her eyes.

00:05:51Although we have a nanny at home, it's really inappropriate for these two to leave the two children at home. Joel nodded.

00:05:58You're right. When they return, I'll definitely tell them this.

00:06:03Mrs. Hunt smiled.

00:06:05Mr. Smith, I wonder which room my pet is in. I'll go upstairs to see him.

00:06:11As she spoke, she stood up and was supported by the butler as they walked to the elevator. Joel wanted to stop her.

00:06:18Mrs. Hunt.

00:06:21This isn't quite appropriate.

00:06:24Mrs. Hunt stopped in her tracks.

00:06:27Why not? As his great-grandmother, I'm going to see my great-grandson. Is there a problem?

00:06:35Joel was about to speak when Mrs. Hunt smiled. Of course, I can't see her daughter without Miss Smith's permission.

00:06:42But I don't need to trouble you to worry about my great-grandson.

00:06:46Which room is he in?

00:06:48Mrs. Hunt was really angry.

00:06:51Just and had already stayed with the Smiths for more than half a month. If this continued,

00:06:57the Hunts would become laughingstocks in New York.

00:07:01Hearing the faint disdain in her words, Joel's expression darkened. He suddenly smiled. In room

00:07:09203 upstairs.

00:07:11He accompanied Mrs. Hunt upstairs.

00:07:13When they arrived at room 203, Mrs. Hunt frowned. This should be Miss Smith's room, right?

00:07:20Peter's sleeping here.

00:07:22Yes, Joel said. Pete insisted on sleeping here. Mrs. Hunt sneered in her heart.

00:07:29Then, I'm going in to take a look. At the same time, I can see Cherry. But Mr. Smith,

00:07:36your family is too careless. Although Cherry and Pete are only five years old, they're not biological siblings.

00:07:43It's not good for them to sleep together like this.

00:07:47Right?

00:07:49Joel's expression turned even uglier before he could say anything.

00:07:53Another voice said,

00:07:55Mrs. Hunt is right.

00:07:57Joel was stunned. He turned around and saw.

00:08:01I am coming out.

00:08:03He was in good health and no longer needed to be hospitalized.

00:08:08Today, Lily had finally agreed to let him be discharged.

00:08:13He couldn't wait to go home and meet his granddaughter and daughter.

00:08:17However,

00:08:18he didn't expect to see Mrs. Hunt right after he returned.

00:08:23Especially after hearing what Mrs. Hunt said. He was furious.

00:08:28Ayn endured the discomfort in his heart and pushed the wheelchair over.

00:08:32Although he was sitting and was very thin, his aura was very strong. Hunt felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him.

00:08:40Although Joel was very powerful when it came to managing Smith Corporation,

00:08:44he was still a grandson, just like Justin.

00:08:48No matter how powerful he was, he was still her grandson in front of her.

00:08:54Therefore, she could still suppress him.

00:08:57However, Ayn had been in power for so many years.

00:09:00He was very dignified.

00:09:03Especially back then when Justin had yet to grow up and her son had failed to live up to expectations.

00:09:08In fact, the Hunts had always been suppressed by the Smiths until they could barely breathe.

00:09:15Therefore, she was very afraid of Ayn.

00:09:18A smile immediately appeared on her face.

00:09:21How is your health? Have you been discharged?

00:09:25Ayn said,

00:09:27nonchalantly,

00:09:28I won't die yet.

00:09:30At least I can support my daughter for a few years to prevent her from being bullied again at such a young age.

00:09:37When Mrs. Hunt heard this, she immediately said, how could that be?

00:09:43Who dares to bully your daughter?

00:09:46Ayn looked at her and smiled.

00:09:49Mrs. Hunt, we both know that women are physically weaker than men.

00:09:54When they marry someone, won't they become someone else's?

00:09:57But as long as I'm still a father, I won't allow my daughter to be looked down on.

00:10:02Mrs. Hunt

00:10:04lowered her eyes.

00:10:06If she wants to be looked at by others, her family background is one thing.

00:10:11But her character and capability must be passable, right?

00:10:16When he heard the word capability, Ayn raised his eyebrows and smiled even brightly.

00:10:22Your words have reached the bottom of my heart. In the future,

00:10:26the person my daughter is going to marry will definitely admire her from the bottom of his heart.

00:10:32He will respect and love her. If there is even the slightest bit of contempt, I will not agree to it.

00:10:40Mrs. Hunt lowered her eyes and smiled.

00:10:43Even if it's for your sake, I don't think anyone in New York will dare to look down on her.

00:10:49But Miss Smith's daughter, she's called Cherry, right?

00:10:53Well, with the Smiths protecting her, she should be fine. The Smiths were protecting her.

00:11:00Ayn sneered. Yes,

00:11:02Cherry has nothing to do with the Hunts. Is that what you mean? Mrs. Hunt?

00:11:08Mrs. Hunt smiled. You can't say that Miss Smith and Justin are together now, of course.

00:11:14Cherry is also half a daughter of Justin. It's not that the Hunts can't afford to raise a girl.

00:11:20It's just that her status makes it a little awkward.

00:11:24Ayn interrupted her.

00:11:27I understand what you mean. Don't worry about this. I like Cherry very much.

00:11:32She wouldn't be bothering the Hunts to take care of her.

00:11:35His words made Mrs. Hunt heave a sigh of relief.

00:11:39To be honest, although Justin had Pete with his status and face, which woman was not in his reach.

00:11:45So many wealthy ladies were fighting to marry into their family,

00:11:49but he just had to fall. For a woman with such a burden, it would be so embarrassing if word got out.

00:11:55This was what Mrs. Hunt had been struggling with recently as the matriarch of the Hunts.

00:12:00It was fine, even if Nora had grown up in the countryside.

00:12:05In the future, she would not be allowed to interfere in the family's financial matters.

00:12:10She would just treat it as raising a flower anyway. Pete would grow up very quickly.

00:12:16In the future, she would find an appropriate wife for Pete and let her replace Nora.

00:12:21After all, Nora was Ayn's daughter.

00:12:25With her status here, she was worthy of the Hunts.

00:12:28But alas, if only Nora did not have that daughter. Now that Ayn had taken on the little girl,

00:12:34everything was easy. A genuine smile finally appeared on Mrs. Hunt's face.

00:12:39She felt that the Smiths were really very sensible.

00:12:43However, it made sense after some thought. It was definitely Nora's fortune to be able to marry Justin.

00:12:50The Smiths must have felt that they had picked up a huge bargain.

00:12:54She felt an inexplicable sense of superiority and did not notice the mockery on Ayn's face.

00:13:00After Ayn solved this big problem, Mrs. Hunt felt that she should express her stance.

00:13:06Therefore, she smiled and said,

00:13:08Don't worry, Ayn. I'll treat Miss Smith well in the future.

00:13:12When she said this, I made a surprised expression.

00:13:16But then he came to a realization.

00:13:18The Smiths and the Hunts can be considered family friends. If Mrs. Hunt sees my daughter on any occasion in the future,

00:13:26it's only right that you take care of her.

00:13:29Mrs. Hunt, she was stunned and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the sentence.

00:13:35What did he mean by seeing her? On some occasion, she said directly,

00:13:41What occasion are you planning to let the two of them move out after their marriage?

00:13:46Ayn was even more surprised. What marriage?

00:13:50Mrs. Hunt was even more confused after Miss Smith and Justin get married. Ayn frowned.

00:13:56How could the two of them get married?

00:13:59Mrs. Hunt was stunned. Aren't they together? Ayn laughed.

00:14:04It's just two young people and puppy love who hasn't fallen in love before marriage.

00:14:09However, I haven't agreed to their marriage.

00:14:12Mrs. Hunt was even more confused.

00:14:15But they're already engaged.

00:14:18Engaged? Ayn was even more surprised.

00:14:22Why didn't I know about the engagement? When?

00:14:26Where did they exchange rings, Mrs. Hunt? She frowned.

00:14:30You don't agree with them being together? Ayn lowered his eyes. Of course not.

00:14:35Mr. Hunt is not a good match.

00:14:38Even if my daughter marries him, I'm afraid she won't be able to resolve the complicated situation in your family.

00:14:44Ha ha. Our family doesn't have any internal conflicts, nor grew up in the countryside.

00:14:51She's simple-minded, but she can't take on the role of Mrs. Hunt.

00:14:55Mrs. Hunt.

00:14:57She suddenly felt a little delighted.

00:15:00This was not her separating Nora from Justin. It was Ayn.

00:15:04She did not want Justin to marry someone who had a child and to raise another person's child.

00:15:09It would be so embarrassing if word got out.

00:15:12She smiled instantly, her chin lifting.

00:15:16Before she could say anything, Ayn pointed at the room and said,

00:15:20By the way, weren't you going to see Pete? Don't let me keep you.

00:15:25He was waiting for Mrs. Hunt to be slapped in the face.

00:15:29Mrs. Hunt nodded and pushed the door open happily before walking in.

00:15:33The lights in the room were switched on and the two children were sleeping on the bed.

00:15:37The one facing her had an exquisite and cute little face.

00:15:41Wasn't a Pete.

00:15:43She walked over and touched the child's cheek. At this moment, the child on the other side suddenly turned around.

00:15:51Mrs. Hunt really liked Pete.

00:15:54He was smart and calm, even at such a young age.

00:15:59He was definitely the best choice for the future successor of the Hunts.

00:16:03Moreover, she had given Pete the most love and had also cared about him the most.

00:16:09Therefore, when his cousins fought with Pete, she was always biased toward him.

00:16:15She had come over today because she missed Pete too much, other than when she was sick.

00:16:20She had never stayed away from Pete for so long, at this moment.

00:16:25When she saw Pete lying there with his eyes closed and his mouth open as he slept, her heart melted.

00:16:31Her expression softened a little as she reached out to touch his face.

00:16:36Pete was really good-looking.

00:16:39Even if he was a girl, he would definitely have a kingdom-toppling beauty.

00:16:45Speaking of which, a mother who could give birth to a child like Pete should be quite good-looking.

00:16:50As she was thinking, she suddenly heard the sound of someone turning over.

00:16:55She looked up with the help of the dim nightlight.

00:16:58She could see the child sleeping on the other side,

00:17:01suddenly turned over as if he had sensed that there was someone in the room. He sat up.

00:17:07The child was in a daze.

00:17:09He rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands and looked at Mrs. Hunt. The next moment, he woke up and shouted in surprise,

00:17:17Great-grandma!

00:17:19Mrs. Hunt. She was stunned.

00:17:22She looked at Pete, who was sitting up, and then at the sleeping Pete.

00:17:27She stood there in shock for a moment.

00:17:30She felt that the light in the room was too dim, and she was dazzled.

00:17:34She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and rubbed her eyes.

00:17:38She looked over again.

00:17:40The child's hair was a little messy.

00:17:43It was indeed Pete.

00:17:45However, the other child was sleeping soundly. She even smacked her lips as if she had eaten something delicious in her dream.

00:17:54It was also Pete.

00:17:56Mrs. Hunt turned to the nanny beside her in surprise.

00:18:00You come and help me take a look. Which one is Pete?

00:18:04Am I seeing things? The nanny was also stunned.

00:18:09No matter how she looked at them, she could not tell them apart.

00:18:13Mrs. Hunt, why do these two look like young Master Pete? Do all children look the same?

00:18:20How can they be the same? Our little fatty is so ugly.

00:18:25The nanny, Mrs. Hunt, they're all your great-grandchildren.

00:18:31Is this really appropriate?

00:18:34However, the two of them were old and dazzled by everything they looked at.

00:18:39Therefore, they still did not understand what was going on.

00:18:42They did not dare to turn on the lights, lest they disturb the children's sleep. The two of them exchanged words.

00:18:50Joel and Ayaan, who were standing at the door, looked at each other.

00:18:54The uncle and nephew were tactful and did not speak or remind each other. It was all to see Mrs.

00:19:02Hunt slap her own face.

00:19:04The two of them did not speak.

00:19:06They were sensitive people.

00:19:09Pete, who had woken up the moment Mrs. Hunt entered, sighed helplessly.

00:19:14Great. Grandma, my sister and I are twins.

00:19:18Mrs. Hunt was stunned.

00:19:21Sister? What sister?

00:19:24Her voice was a little high, waking Cheery up from her deep sleep.

00:19:28She rubbed her eyes with her chubby hands and looked at Mrs. Hunt in a daze.

00:19:34Then she was slightly stunned and called out on her childish voice.

00:19:38Great Grandma, why are you here? What?

00:19:42The words made Mrs. Hunt realize something.

00:19:46She looked at Cherry in disbelief and then at Pete. She finally understood.

00:19:51She swallowed and said, why, you're Cherry.

00:19:55Cherry was in a daze for a while when she turned back and saw that her brother was already looking at her.

00:20:01She knew that her identity with her brother had been exposed.

00:20:05Therefore, she could only nod.

00:20:07Yes.

00:20:09Pete and I are twins, Mrs. Hunt.

00:20:12She took a step back and almost fell to the ground.

00:20:15How?

00:20:16How is this possible?

00:20:18She looked at Pete again. In other words,

00:20:21your mommy is Nora. So Nora was Pete's biological mother.

00:20:26Pete nodded.

00:20:28At this moment, Justin and Nora returned home and the two of them went straight upstairs.

00:20:34When Justin saw Ian and Joel at the door, his heart sank.

00:20:38Then he strode forward and called out Grandmother.

00:20:42Mrs. Hunt slowly turned around.

00:20:45When she saw Justin, she shouted, Justin, why you have two children?

00:20:50Justin, I know.

00:20:52Mrs. Hunt suddenly appeared in front of him. Why didn't you tell me?

00:20:57Why didn't you tell me that Miss Smith is Pete's biological mother?

00:21:02Justin glanced at Nora and sighed softly.

00:21:06It was all because Nora wanted to keep it a secret. At this moment, Ian suddenly said, Mrs. Hunt,

00:21:13it's already so late since you've seen Pete now.

00:21:17Shouldn't you be taking Justin back now?

00:21:20When Mrs. Hunt heard this, she choked.

00:21:24She looked at Ian and said, Ian, look, it was a misunderstanding.

00:21:29What we said just now doesn't count, right?

00:21:33Mrs. Hunt finally realized that she had made a mistake when she thought about how Justin had not mentioned anything

00:21:39about this biological mother all these years.

00:21:43Now Mrs. Hunt finally realized belatedly that she had made a mistake.

00:21:48However, Ian said it counts.

00:21:51Why wouldn't it count?

00:21:53Mrs. Hunt hurriedly said, how can it? Isn't this breaking up a loving couple? Ian smiled.

00:22:00Didn't you also disagree with this marriage earlier? In that case, why should we force each other?

00:22:07Mrs. Hunt hurriedly said, I agree.

00:22:10Now for the sake of the two children, don't be calculative with me, okay? Ian's expression was serious.

00:22:17Mrs. Hunt, you're mistaken.

00:22:20Although she already has a child, my daughter doesn't have to worry about not being able to find a good family.

00:22:27Mrs. Hunt became even more anxious.

00:22:30She's Pete's biological mother. Other than the Hunts, who else would marry her?

00:22:36These words were even more overboard.

00:22:39As soon as she finished speaking, Justin shouted, grandmother. Mrs. Hunt instantly realized that she had said something wrong.

00:22:47She hurriedly looked at Ian and saw that his expression had darkened.

00:22:51What? The Hunts are already domineering, to the point that if I don't let my daughter marry into your family,

00:22:58others will not be allowed to marry my daughter. My family is not to be trifled with.

00:23:04If this doesn't work out and my daughter isn't able to get married, I'll take care of her forever.

00:23:10Mrs. Hunt still wanted to say something, but Ian had already turned to look at Joel.

00:23:16Joel, it's getting very late.

00:23:19See the guests out. Joel stood up immediately.

00:23:24Mrs. Hunt, please.

00:23:26When Mrs. Hunt saw that they did not care about their reputation, she was even angrier. There's no need for you to chase us away.

00:23:34We'll leave ourselves.

00:23:36Justin, Pete, Cherry, pack up and let's go home.

00:23:42However, when she said this, there was no movement behind her for a long time. Mrs. Hunt's thoughts were simple.

00:23:50Children were the ones who held their mothers back the most. As long as she took the two children away,

00:23:56she would not have to worry about Nora not coming to their house.

00:24:00However, she did not expect there to be no movement behind her.

00:24:05After she spoke,

00:24:08she turned around and saw Pete and Cherry looking at her in a daze while Justin's mouth was pursed.

00:24:16Mrs. Hunt was stunned.

00:24:18Justin, what are you waiting for?

00:24:21Carry the child.

00:24:23Look at how sleepy Cherry is. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ian's voice.

00:24:30Mrs. Hunt, we just said that Cherry has nothing to do with the Hunts.

00:24:35You can only take Pete away.

00:24:37As soon as she said this, Pete chimed in. I'm not leaving. I want to stay with mommy.

00:24:44Mrs. Hunt, she was stunned.

00:24:46Then she said in shock, these two children are from the Hunts. Of course, they have to come with me.

00:24:52Ian was very domineering. What Hunts? This is my granddaughter.

00:24:58She has the Smith blood in her.

00:25:01Mrs. Hunt held her chin up. Ian,

00:25:03I know that society is developing, but our wealthy families still care about passing on our daughters.

00:25:10Your daughter will get married sooner or later.

00:25:13The children of our Hunts can't go to another family to suffer.

00:25:18Ian smiled. Who said my daughter is going away?

00:25:22I'm going to find a house husband for my daughter in the future anyway, since I don't have a son. Nora will take on the responsibilities.

00:25:31With that, he looked at Joel and asked, Joel, do you mind? Joel stood up straight. Of course, I don't mind.

00:25:38Even if Nora manages Smith Corporation, I have no objections. Ian raised his eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Hunt.

00:25:46Did you hear that, Mrs. Hunt?

00:25:49She could not win against Ian, so she could only look at Justin. Justin, aren't you going to say anything with that?

00:25:56She whispered.

00:25:58Justin, if you want to marry Miss Smith and make her bow her head and compromise, you have to take the two children away.

00:26:06I guarantee that she'll chase after you. When she said this,

00:26:10Justin's gaze turned even colder.

00:26:13He had long known that his grandmother did not like Nora.

00:26:16She preferred traditional daughters who would be at home with her husband and children.

00:26:21Just like a mother, she would remain just as the children's mother in the Hunts forever. However,

00:26:28with Nora's personality, it was impossible for her to be trapped at home. And this time,

00:26:34Mrs. Hunt had come to the Smiths first to look after Pete and second to bring Nora down a notch.

00:26:41How could Justin allow Nora to be looked down upon at home in the future?

00:26:46Therefore, he knew what Mrs. Hunt said was true as long as she took away the two children or even one of them.

00:26:54Nora would not be able to escape, but he could not do that.

00:26:59He lowered his head and held Mrs. Hunt as he slowly said,

00:27:03Grandmother, let's go.

00:27:06Mrs. Hunt was stunned.

00:27:07What about the children?

00:27:10Justin sighed.

00:27:12Nora gave birth to the children in the first place. The children will only follow us if she asks them.

00:27:18Mrs. Hunt looked at Nora. Miss Smith, let the children come with us.

00:27:24At the very least, let Pete come back with us. Nora shook her head.

00:27:29Sorry, I can't. It was more probable for Cherry to go back with them.

00:27:34However, it was impossible for Pete. Ever since she fell asleep a few days ago,

00:27:40she could clearly feel that Pete was more attached to her. Now was the critical period to treat her son's mild autism.

00:27:48How could she let the Hunts take him away?

00:27:51Mrs. Hunt misunderstood.

00:27:53Ah, are the Smiths really going to snatch our child? She turned to look at Ayan.

00:28:00The two families had planned a marriage alliance in the first place.

00:28:05Letting Miss Smith marry Justin is the best choice. Why do you have to do this?

00:28:11Aren't you afraid that we'll turn against each other? Ayan smiled arrogantly.

00:28:16My health is not good, and I don't know how long I can live.

00:28:21Therefore, I don't care about what happens in the future. I only know that my daughter should not be taken lightly.

00:28:28Mrs. Hunt choked.

00:28:30Before she could say anything, Justin had already grabbed her arm forcefully and interrupted her uncle Ayan.

00:28:37Joel, Nora will head back first. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Pete and Cherry.

00:28:43With that, he brought Mrs. Hunt downstairs forcefully.

00:28:48After the group of people left the Smiths, Ayan sneered. At least this kid knows his place.

00:28:55Joel thought of his friendship with Justin during this period of time and said,

00:29:00Mr. Hunt has always been quite good, right?

00:29:03But Mrs. Hunt is too unreasonable.

00:29:06After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Nora would mind, so he explained Nora.

00:29:12Mr. Hunt left because he wanted to take Mrs. Hunt home.

00:29:17Don't think too much about it.

00:29:19Nora did not think too much about this.

00:29:22She just felt that her ears had finally become much quieter. No one would stare at her as she ate anymore.

00:29:29Despising her for eating so much, she felt herself relax.

00:29:33She stretched her body and entered the bedroom.

00:29:36I understand.

00:29:38After she closed the door, Ayan suddenly waved to Joel.

00:29:42Tell me, how does Nora feel about Justin? Does she like Justin?

00:29:47Joel touched his nose as confusion flashed across his fox-like eyes.

00:29:52Uncle Ayan.

00:29:54Speaking of this, I also find it strange Nora's personality is more distant and she's cold to everyone.

00:30:01I didn't see any intimacy between her and Justin either.

00:30:06I really can't say if she likes him or not.

00:30:09When Ayan heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said, in that case, you understand. His voice trailed off.

00:30:17After hearing the entire sentence, Joel looked at Ayan in disbelief.

00:30:22This isn't too good, right, Ayan?

00:30:25That's what we'll do, Joel. All right?

00:30:28On the way back to the Hunt's,

00:30:30Mrs. Hunt carefully observed Justin's expression, but when she saw that her grandson's expression was still dark,

00:30:37she couldn't help but cough and say,

00:30:40Justin, it really wasn't my fault.

00:30:43Today.

00:30:44I didn't say anything, but Ayan set me up.

00:30:48Justin didn't say anything.

00:30:50Mrs. Hunt said again, don't be like this. If you really like that, Miss Smith,

00:30:55I'll personally visit another day and invite her back. How about that?

00:31:01This was what Justin wanted.

00:31:04Grandmother had always looked down on Nora.

00:31:06Then he had to let her know how difficult this marriage was.

00:31:10Other people's daughters would have to beg a hundred times before they would agree, right?

00:31:16Furthermore, he could get grandmother to apologize to Nora.

00:31:20That way, when Nora marries into the Hunt's, she would not be criticized by Mrs. Hunt.

00:31:26This was also why he had not stopped Mrs. Hunt from speaking earlier.

00:31:31However, just as he woke up the next day and was about to head downstairs,

00:31:37Brenda suddenly ran in front of him. Justin?

00:31:41Bad news. The Smiths are going to choose a husband for Nora.

00:31:46Justin paused when he heard this and his expression darkened before he could say anything.

00:31:51Mrs. Hunt had already walked over with large strides. She snorted coldly.

00:31:57What's there to be nervous about?

00:31:59The more the Smith family acts like this, the more it shows that they're worried their daughter won't be able to get married.

00:32:05Besides, if they can choose a husband, we can also get your brother a wife.

00:32:11As soon as she said this,

00:32:13Justin called out softly,

00:32:15Grandmother.

00:32:16It was a warning.

00:32:19Mrs. Hunt was a little angry after being called out by him.

00:32:23Justin, you can't be bewitched by a woman. I thought about it and realized that Pete still has to come back.

00:32:30After all, it's your bloodline and the best heir of our next generation.

00:32:36I was originally worried that Pete's biological mother's family wasn't good enough.

00:32:41But now, with the Smith family's bloodline, it will definitely be very good.

00:32:46Seeing that Mrs. Hunt had yet to realize her mistake,

00:32:49Justin lowered his eyes.

00:32:51Grandmother, if I am to get married in this life, it'll only be to her. With that, he straightened his clothes and left.

00:33:00Mrs. Hunt pointed at his back and instructed Brenda.

00:33:03Listen to him. What is he saying? How can a man like him be trapped by a woman?

00:33:09Brenda did not say anything about this, but she still said, Grandmother.

00:33:14Justin has never said anything he can't do. Mrs. Hunt was stunned.

00:33:19Of course, she knew her grandson's personality.

00:33:24Moreover, all her dissatisfaction with Nora in the past had basically disappeared.

00:33:30Now, although she had grown up in the countryside and did not have much knowledge,

00:33:34Mrs. Hunt could tolerate the shortcoming just because she had two children.

00:33:40Mrs. Hunt frowned. I think the Smith family is just bluffing.

00:33:45Just watch.

00:33:47No one will be willing to marry her. After all, her identity is an ordinary, not to mention her baggage.

00:33:55The Smith family will be under Joel's control in the future.

00:33:59After all, she's not Joel's biological sister.

00:34:02After Ian is gone, no one will support her.

00:34:06Furthermore, her status in the Smiths will be very awkward. There should not be many people who dare to come forward to be her husband.

00:34:14Brenda immediately said,

00:34:17Grandmother, I think you're right.

00:34:19That's why I'm going to Nora's house to help her look.

00:34:23Uh, no, I'm helping Justin keep an eye on her.

00:34:26Let's see who's so blind to dare come knocking. With that, she went downstairs,

00:34:32strutting in her high heels.

00:34:34Mrs. Hunt at the Smiths' cherry. He's too short, but he's good-looking.

00:34:40What's the use of being good-looking? If a man is short, he'll be a level-two cripple.

00:34:46You can't have him.

00:34:48Brenda took the photo and took out another one.

00:34:51This is not bad.

00:34:52He has abs, Cherry, but Mommy likes little puppies, not wolfhounds.

00:34:58Brenda frowned.

00:34:59My brother isn't a little puppy, right? Cherry nodded.

00:35:04That's why Mommy finds him so plain.

00:35:06Brenda sighed.

00:35:08Doesn't that mean my brother won't have a chance?

00:35:11Cherry nodded again. I've always felt that Daddy has no chance.

00:35:15When Pete heard these words, the corners of his lips twitched.

00:35:20He did not tell the two of them. He felt that Mommy treated Daddy differently.

00:35:25When Nora woke up, the living room was in a mess.

00:35:29Even in the room with good soundproofing, she could hear the commotion downstairs.

00:35:35She hesitated and got up.

00:35:38After washing up casually, she went out and prepared to go downstairs to eat something.

00:35:43However, when she went downstairs, she saw six men sitting in the living room.

00:35:48Most of these people were in their 20s.

00:35:51Some were gentle, some were mature, and some were bright and handsome.

00:35:56Every type was different.

00:35:58Brenda and Cherry stood up with a sense of accomplishment.

00:36:02Nora, come take a look at these men.

00:36:05Cherry puffed out her chest.

00:36:07Mommy, I didn't even log into my game the entire morning.

00:36:11Just so I could choose these men with Auntie Nora,

00:36:15casually took out a piece of bread and ate it while looking at them.

00:36:18Then she asked Brenda tentatively, if you want to find a boyfriend, you should be doing it at the Hunt's Rite.

00:36:25Isn't it inappropriate for you to be at the Smith's?

00:36:29Brenda.

00:36:30She waved her hand. No, these are all for you to choose from.

00:36:36Cherry and I are just looking at them. A question mark slowly appeared in Nora's mind.

00:36:41These men were for her. She was stunned for a moment before saying, I don't need a bodyguard, Brenda. No.

00:36:48These men are here for the son-in-law selection.

00:36:51Uncle Ian prepared for you. You can choose anyone. She pointed at the first one.

00:36:57This is James. Their family deals in electronics, so it's not bad.

00:37:03This is seeing that she was about to introduce everyone present.

00:37:07Nora interrupted her.

00:37:09Stop. Then her almond-shaped eyes swept over the people. I'm not interested. Please leave with that.

00:37:15She went upstairs.

00:37:17She still had to look at the medical books she had gotten from her master doctors.

00:37:22Abe, how could she have the time to look at handsome guys here? But at this moment, a voice sounded. Miss Smith.

00:37:31Nora stopped in her tracks and turned back.

00:37:34She saw a man who was about 30 years old taking a step forward. He was wearing a gray suit.

00:37:40He said, I'm Blaine Jonas. I wonder if you still remember me.

00:37:45Nora was taken aback for a moment. She still remembered Blaine Jonas.

00:37:49He was an internationally renowned surgeon. The two of them had once held a seminar for a certain patient.

00:37:56She nodded slightly. Why are you here?

00:38:00Blaine smiled. I originally came to discuss a medical case with you,

00:38:04but I didn't expect to be treated as a blind date and be arrested.

00:38:09Nora,

00:38:10I'm not free for the time being. Blaine was not angry. He seemed to have heard about her personality long ago.

00:38:18So he smiled and said, yes, I know you're not free. You should have my contact number.

00:38:24Contact me whenever you're free.

00:38:26Okay.

00:38:28Nora went upstairs. This was originally just a small episode.

00:38:33Nora did not take this person seriously at all. However, in the afternoon, she suddenly received a message from Truman.

00:38:41Yale, the show I prepared for you is about to start, Nora.

00:38:46As she was in a daze, her phone suddenly rang. It was the Andersons.

00:38:52She picked up the call and Simon's voice came from the other end.

00:38:57Nora, do you know a surgeon named Blaine?

00:39:01Jonas? Nora clenched her jaw.

00:39:04What's wrong?

00:39:05Simon's voice was very serious.

00:39:07He has now issued a challenge to the alternative medicine doctors in New York.

00:39:12He said that alternative medicine is all fake and modern medicine is the proper treatment method.

00:39:19Furthermore, he suggested this as your good friend.

00:39:23There are witnesses who saw him coming out of the Smiths today.

00:39:27Therefore, everyone thinks that you're the one provoking alternative medicine, Nora.

00:39:33She frowned.

00:39:35I didn't ask him to go.

00:39:39Simon took a deep breath, but everyone believes it now. It's probably too late for you to say anything.

00:39:46Nora was puzzled. How did he make the challenge?

00:39:51Simon sighed.

00:39:52He has a few patients on his side, and there are also a few patients who came for alternative medicine.

00:39:59He has agreed to see if alternative medicine can treat those people, or will modern medicine do the job?

00:40:06From this, we can determine which method is better.

00:40:10Nora?

00:40:11Modern medicine treated the symptoms, but not the roots.

00:40:15Alternative medicine treated the roots, but slowly.

00:40:19How could they compare?

00:40:21As she was thinking about this,

00:40:23Simon spoke again.

00:40:25Furthermore, he directly challenged Dr. Zebb. Dr. Zebb is already old,

00:40:30so he definitely can't accept the challenge. He let his disciple accept the challenge.

00:40:37Nora.

00:40:38Worry crept into Simon's voice again.

00:40:40Nora, now that he has gotten involved, you're going to be in a pickle.

00:40:45Like what had happened previously,

00:40:48if the matter had just been about something,

00:40:50she had supposedly said Simon could still suppress the matter and explain to everyone that she hadn't said anything like that.

00:40:59However,

00:41:00Blaine had popped up out of nowhere and issued a challenge to the alternative medicine circle.

00:41:06On top of that, he had done that in her name and even claimed that he was fronting the campaign for her.

00:41:13Winning or losing was no longer important,

00:41:16because Blaine's actions had successfully caused a confrontation between alternative and modern medicine practitioners.

00:41:23Should Nora show up with Blaine, it would cement what she had supposedly said previously.

00:41:29Even if she won the competition,

00:41:31she would lose the support of the alternative medicine community and would struggle in the states in the future.

00:41:37Yet, if she stepped forward and apologized to the alternative medicine community, people would say that she had chickened out.

00:41:44Angering the modern medicine community would also make her life a struggle in the country.

00:41:50This wasn't to say that she wouldn't be able to use her identity as auntie to make money anymore.

00:41:56However,

00:41:57she would no longer be respected by people in the medical profession, both domestically and internationally like how she currently was.

00:42:05Moreover,

00:42:07as the Smith's young lady and the future matriarch of the Hunts,

00:42:11she would also end up making the Smith's and the Hunts look somewhat flighty and frivolous.

00:42:17In short, there were a lot of disadvantages.

00:42:20Nora figured out all this in an instant.

00:42:23She curled her lips into a smile.

00:42:26When Simon was about to nag at her some more, she suddenly said,

00:42:30Don't worry, Uncle Simon. I know what I'm doing.

00:42:34Simon's anxious words immediately became stuck in his throat after so much had happened.

00:42:40Simon now wholeheartedly trusted and believed in his niece.

00:42:44It was as if he was sure that she could resolve the problems just because she had said that she knew what she was doing.

00:42:51Thus, he paused for a few seconds before he finally said,

00:42:55All right, it's great that you have a solution.

00:42:58Nora made a sound of acknowledgement when she wanted to hang up.

00:43:02Simon said, By the way,

00:43:04when will you be free to come home for a visit?

00:43:07Your aunt and both your cousins

00:43:10miss you as soon as he said.

00:43:12Nora heard Logan's voice faintly in the background.

00:43:15Who misses her dad?

00:43:17Don't talk nonsense.

00:43:19Next to him,

00:43:21Melissa asked softly,

00:43:23When did Nora say she will be back?

00:43:26I will make her an entire table of delicious food.

00:43:29Nora then asked, Where is Cheryl?

00:43:31Simon replied,

00:43:33She's at the lab.

00:43:35Ever since you borrowed the lab to make the Zapp Corporation's coming pills,

00:43:38and she won a bet with some of the old stick in the muds.

00:43:40There.

00:43:42They have completely conceded defeat to her.

00:43:44Everyone at the lab

00:43:46listens to her now

00:43:48and has been trying out many new ways of making medicine.

00:43:50She's so busy that she doesn't even come home anymore.

00:43:52It was as if she had lost her mind.

00:43:54Simon said,

00:43:56She's so busy that she doesn't even come home anymore.

00:43:58It was indeed a good thing

00:44:00to be able to find what one liked

00:44:02and stick to it.

00:44:04Although Cheryl lead a simple life,

00:44:06it was a fulfilling and happy one.

00:44:08Nora thought of Cheryl's

00:44:10optimism and cheerfulness when she was

00:44:12living with the Andersons,

00:44:14as well as the conflicting contrast

00:44:16between her cute and docile appearance

00:44:18and her love of vodka.

00:44:20She smiled and said,

00:44:22Well, as long as she is happy.

00:44:24As soon as she said that,

00:44:26Melissa snatched the phone

00:44:28from Simon and said,

00:44:30Nora, get in touch with her

00:44:32when you have time and get her to participate

00:44:34in other activities.

00:44:36The key thing here is that it's time

00:44:38that she starts dating.

00:44:40Nora was dumbfounded.

00:44:42She didn't expect that a woman

00:44:44as elegant as her aunt would actually

00:44:46force her daughter to date.

00:44:48She coughed.

00:44:50Okay.

00:44:52She picked up the phone again.

00:44:54After a moment's thought,

00:44:56she called Blaine.

00:44:58The two of them had both been part of

00:45:00a patient's consultation years ago,

00:45:02so they had exchanged contact information

00:45:04with each other.

00:45:06Blaine picked up the call very quickly.

00:45:08Auntie, are you here to thank me?

00:45:10I've long been unhappy

00:45:12with the alternative medicine circle.

00:45:14They are no different from

00:45:16a bunch of frauds.

00:45:18Imbalance of energies in one's body.

00:45:20What nonsense.

00:45:22We modern doctors are not going to recognize

00:45:24such talk.

00:45:26It's just a pity that your words the last time

00:45:28didn't have enough of an impact.

00:45:30So I have given you a hand with that.

00:45:32The two of us will be able to cause

00:45:34a huge stir in America's alternative medicine

00:45:36circle and turn it upside down.

00:45:38Nora.

00:45:40After hearing what he said,

00:45:42she cast her eyes down.

00:45:44Who says that alternative medicine

00:45:46is inferior to modern medicine?

00:45:48Blaine paused for a moment

00:45:50before he asked,

00:45:52What do you actually think?

00:45:54Alternative medicine is better than modern medicine.

00:45:56Nora lowered her gaze.

00:45:58You don't have to deliberately

00:46:00misinterpret my words.

00:46:02Neither did I say anything like that.

00:46:04I just find your act

00:46:06of provoking the alternative medicine

00:46:08circle very stupid.

00:46:10Blaine snorted.

00:46:12What do you mean by that?

00:46:14I did all of this for you.

00:46:16I know that you're not thanking me for it,

00:46:18but you're actually saying that I get it now.

00:46:20Surely you're not chickening out

00:46:22now that you are back in the States,

00:46:24are you?

00:46:26To think the top surgeon of modern medicine

00:46:28is afraid of the alternative medicine

00:46:30practitioners in America.

00:46:32Aren't you afraid that you'll offend the

00:46:34modern medicine circle

00:46:36if you say that alternative medicine is just a niche,

00:46:38whereas modern medicine

00:46:40has become mainstream?

00:46:42I urge you to think carefully about this.

00:46:44Also, I've contacted

00:46:46a few modern medicine doctors

00:46:48and made an appointment with people

00:46:50of the alternative medicine circle

00:46:52for a competition two days later.

00:46:54If you don't show up,

00:46:56I'm afraid the modern medicine doctors

00:46:58who put you on a pedestal

00:47:00will be very disappointed in you.

00:47:02I will send you the address.

00:47:04You are free to decide whether

00:47:06you want to show up or not.

00:47:08After saying that, he hung up.

00:47:10Then he sent her the address.

00:47:12Nora,

00:47:14she had obviously been the one who called

00:47:16to question him.

00:47:18Where did Blaine get the confidence to talk

00:47:20to her like that?

00:47:22Nora's expression had darkened.

00:47:24She let out a cold laugh.

00:47:26Then her phone rang.

00:47:28When she picked up the call, she found

00:47:30that it was Cheryl.

00:47:32Cheryl asked tentatively,

00:47:34Nora,

00:47:36did you issue a challenge to the alternative

00:47:38medicine circle?

00:47:40She was angry at the moment,

00:47:42so she immediately answered,

00:47:44it wasn't me.

00:47:46Some idiot did that.

00:47:48Cheryl's consciousness immediately disappeared

00:47:50and she became furious.

00:47:52I knew it couldn't have been you.

00:47:54Given how strong your skills

00:47:56at making medicine are,

00:47:58why would you ever look down

00:48:00on alternative medicine?

00:48:02This must be a conspiracy that Blaine

00:48:04or whatever his name is came up with.

00:48:06He must be sick in the head.

00:48:08Otherwise, why would he do that?

00:48:10Don't worry, Nora,

00:48:12the few of us have already

00:48:14discussed this and we've decided

00:48:16that I will participate in the competition.

00:48:18I will beat Blaine

00:48:20and then declare in front of everyone

00:48:22that you were the one who made

00:48:24the Zapp Corporation's calming pills

00:48:26and that not only are you a master

00:48:28of modern medicine,

00:48:30but also a master of the pharmaceutical industry.

00:48:32Nora touched.

00:48:34She said,

00:48:36By the way, I'm rooting for you.

00:48:38Cheryl also felt rather embarrassed

00:48:40after saying that,

00:48:42so she immediately asked with a smile.

00:48:44By the way,

00:48:46will you be there on that day?

00:48:48Would she be there?

00:48:50Nora's lip corners curled up

00:48:52into a smile.

00:48:54Of course, of course,

00:48:56of course she had to be there.

00:48:58Otherwise, how was she going to slap Blaine

00:49:00in the face?

00:49:02Besides alternative medicines,

00:49:04treating illnesses had always been slow

00:49:06without her going by the skills of those few

00:49:08people in the alternative medicine

00:49:10circle.

00:49:12She felt that they might lose to Blaine.

00:49:14Cheryl breathed a sigh of relief.

00:49:16Okay, don't worry, Nora,

00:49:18I will definitely settle this for you,

00:49:20even if I lose

00:49:22the competition.

00:49:24At the very least, I mustn't

00:49:26let the people in the alternative medicine

00:49:28circle hate you.

00:49:30I am confident that I can at least

00:49:32achieve that.

00:49:34After they hung up the call a short while later,

00:49:36Cheryl suddenly sent her

00:49:38an article. It was an article

00:49:40on a website for the domestic

00:49:42alternative medicine community

00:49:44to communicate and exchange ideas

00:49:46with one another.

00:49:48The article had provided an objective evaluation

00:49:50of the upcoming showdown

00:49:52between alternative medicine and modern

00:49:54medicine. Blaine's medical

00:49:56skills had been improving by leaps

00:49:58and bounds recently overseas.

00:50:00He had just performed

00:50:02a very risky operation two days

00:50:04ago where the operation process

00:50:06was recorded. His hands

00:50:08were so steady that they were comparable

00:50:10to Auntie's.

00:50:12In fact, some people overseas

00:50:14were already starting to compare him with

00:50:16Auntie and discussing who the top

00:50:18surgeon really was.

00:50:20Needless to say, Auntie was still

00:50:22publicly recognized as the number

00:50:24one. After all,

00:50:26Blaine had only just caught up.

00:50:28However, this was

00:50:30enough to make the alternative medicine

00:50:32practitioners in the country wary.

00:50:34Blaine was definitely

00:50:36not someone who looked impressive,

00:50:38but lacked real worth.

00:50:40He did indeed have

00:50:42a couple of tricks up his sleeve.

00:50:44The article also introduced

00:50:46and talked about some of the diseases he

00:50:48had treated. After Nora closed

00:50:50the page, she saw a message

00:50:52from Cheryl. Nora,

00:50:54Do you think the alternative

00:50:56medicine circle can beat him?

00:50:58A competition of

00:51:00medical skills where physicians of both

00:51:02circles treated patients on site

00:51:04was in itself already disadvantageous

00:51:06for alternative medicine practitioners.

00:51:08Modern medicine practitioners

00:51:10could make use of all kinds of

00:51:12equipment, but alternative medicine

00:51:14practitioners could only rely

00:51:16on their own judgment.

00:51:18To make matters worse, the effects of

00:51:20their medical treatment were slow to appear

00:51:22so people wouldn't be able to

00:51:24immediately see the effects.

00:51:26Blaine was no doubt a little

00:51:28hard to deal with. On top

00:51:30of that, he had even called upon

00:51:32several leaders of the modern medicine

00:51:34circle. Nora replied

00:51:36hard to say, Cheryl,

00:51:38you don't have to be

00:51:40so honest. Nora

00:51:42smiled. She put down

00:51:44her cell phone.

00:51:46The housekeeper at the door had told

00:51:48her that her cousin from California was here,

00:51:50so she left her room.

00:51:52As soon as she did, she heard

00:51:54Louis' voice downstairs.

00:51:56Miss Black. Long time,

00:51:58no see.

00:52:00Lisa's timid voice rang out.

00:52:02Why are you at home again?

00:52:04Louis replied. I was about

00:52:06to go out and play games with Chester,

00:52:08but then I saw you.

00:52:10Come on, I'll play host.

00:52:12Lisa said.

00:52:14No, it's fine.

00:52:16I have something to talk to my cousin about.

00:52:18You can go out, Louis said righteously.

00:52:20That won't work.

00:52:22As a host, I must accompany you, Lisa.

00:52:24Nora couldn't bring

00:52:26herself to listen any further.

00:52:28She went downstairs.

00:52:30Looked. Elisa

00:52:32and asked. Why are you

00:52:34here?

00:52:36Lisa walked

00:52:38up to her anxiously.

00:52:40Nora, I heard that you are going

00:52:42to challenge the alternative medicine circle.

00:52:44Nora's lip corner

00:52:46spasmed. Do you already

00:52:48know all about it?

00:52:50Lisa nodded.

00:52:52News has spread throughout

00:52:54the school. We have alternative

00:52:56medicine majors in the university.

00:52:58All the alternative medicine

00:53:00majors are very angry now

00:53:02and conflicts are starting to form

00:53:04between them and the modern medicine majors.

00:53:06Nora.

00:53:08She didn't expect news of the incident

00:53:10to spread so quickly or

00:53:12the influence to be so great.

00:53:14Lisa went on.

00:53:16Also, there are reporters

00:53:18camping at the school gates and asking

00:53:20if you're an externally hired professor

00:53:22in the school. When I was coming

00:53:24over, the dean of neurosurgery

00:53:26told me to tell you not

00:53:28to come to the school for now.

00:53:30Nora nodded.

00:53:32Got it. Lisa glanced at her

00:53:34cautiously. Nora,

00:53:36how are you intending to settle this?

00:53:38Nora patted her shoulder.

00:53:40Don't worry about it.

00:53:42Lisa breathed a sigh of relief.

00:53:44Next to them, Louis became puzzled.

00:53:46What are you guys

00:53:48talking about, Nora?

00:53:50Why are you provoking the alternative medicine

00:53:52circle? Nora looked at him

00:53:54and suddenly raised her eyebrows.

00:53:56She asked, which do you think

00:53:58is more impressive, modern medicine

00:54:00or alternative medicine?

00:54:02Louis replied, that would depend

00:54:04on how much money each spends.

00:54:06Nora, Lisa was also

00:54:08surprised, but medical fees

00:54:10will differ according to the respective

00:54:12illnesses. Louis

00:54:14lifted his chin.

00:54:16What I

00:54:18mean is, it depends on how

00:54:20much the alternative and modern medicine

00:54:22circle would pay me.

00:54:24Whoever gives me more money

00:54:26is the one I find more impressive.

00:54:28Both Nora and Lisa found themselves

00:54:30speechless for a while.

00:54:32Then Louis put his hand over his pocket

00:54:34and asked, Nora,

00:54:36is this money really mine?

00:54:38Nora?

00:54:40Why was Louis still worried

00:54:42about the money when so much time had

00:54:44already gone by since the incident?

00:54:46She nodded.

00:54:48Louis suddenly jumped up Nora's little cousin.

00:54:50When are you leaving?

00:54:52After I see you off,

00:54:54I'll go to the bank to apply for a few

00:54:56cards. Nora asked

00:54:58curiously, what are you

00:55:00applying for a few cards for?

00:55:02Louis grinned and said,

00:55:04you don't get it, do you?

00:55:06You can't put all your eggs in one

00:55:08basket. I'm going to apply

00:55:10for a few dozen cards and deposit a bit

00:55:12of money into each.

00:55:14This way, if Joel confiscates

00:55:16one of my cards, I will still have

00:55:18money stashed elsewhere.

00:55:20Louis got a little ahead of himself,

00:55:22he said. Also,

00:55:24I haven't gotten quite used to

00:55:26suddenly becoming a rich man yet.

00:55:28I've made up my mind.

00:55:30I am going to give the cats and

00:55:32dogs a feast to celebrate tonight.

00:55:34They can have the most

00:55:36expensive imported canned food.

00:55:38Also, I'm going to

00:55:40take them to the pet shop for baths

00:55:42and then buy houses for them.

00:55:44After seeing off the worried Lisa and Louis,

00:55:46Nora felt that things had

00:55:48finally become quiet around her.

00:55:50Unexpectedly, the wheelchair

00:55:52bound Ian pushed himself out again.

00:55:54At this point,

00:55:56she also couldn't quite understand

00:55:58why Carl was standing next to him.

00:56:00Surprised, she asked

00:56:02politely, Uncle Carl,

00:56:04why are you here?

00:56:06Carl replied casually,

00:56:08I'm here to discuss marriage.

00:56:10Everything clicked on Nora's head now.

00:56:12Well, that was true.

00:56:14It didn't make sense for Tanya

00:56:16and Joel to stay together like that

00:56:18without a proper relationship.

00:56:20Joel should indeed give Tanya

00:56:22a rightful status.

00:56:24She was about to ask whether they had

00:56:26agreed on a wedding date when Ian asked,

00:56:28did you run into some kind of trouble?

00:56:30Nora paused for a moment.

00:56:32She was about to say something

00:56:34when Carl said,

00:56:36was someone blind enough to bully you?

00:56:38Do you want the Assassin Alliance

00:56:40to get rid of them for you?

00:56:42Nora was the way

00:56:44they dealt with problems

00:56:46always this straightforward.

00:56:48While she was wondering about it,

00:56:50Ian sneered.

00:56:52Do you think you can just kill people

00:56:54so casually outside of your own country?

00:56:56Is there anyone among your assassins

00:56:58who can take someone's life

00:57:00without you knowing?

00:57:02In the States, Carl immediately replied,

00:57:04Black Cat can, Nora.

00:57:06So his way of helping her

00:57:08was getting her to personally

00:57:10kill them off herself.

00:57:12Ian curled his lips disdainfully.

00:57:14Tsk, you're always going

00:57:16on and on about Black Cat.

00:57:18Don't you find yourself embarrassing?

00:57:20Carl, however,

00:57:22didn't find it embarrassing

00:57:24in the least, huh?

00:57:26The way I see it,

00:57:28you're Black Cat because the leader

00:57:30of your dark forces has been hospitalized,

00:57:32so you don't have anyone

00:57:34doing things for you anymore.

00:57:36Ian Carl went on,

00:57:38In the past, you could still put up

00:57:40a fight with me by relying

00:57:42on the dark forces.

00:57:44But now you don't have Quentin anymore.

00:57:46But I still have Black Cat.

00:57:48Ian, seeing

00:57:50Ian's expression darken further,

00:57:52Carl immediately smiled.

00:57:54Black Cat is our top assassin.

00:57:56No one can compare to him.

00:57:58Even if Quentin

00:58:00is in the pink of health,

00:58:02he won't be able to compare to him.

00:58:04Seeing that Ian was about

00:58:06to blow his top, Nora couldn't

00:58:08help but say Uncle Carl,

00:58:10who says the Smiths

00:58:12don't have Black Cat.

00:58:14Her words took Carl by surprise.

00:58:16What do you mean by that?

00:58:18Nora.

00:58:20Nora raised her eyebrows.

00:58:22She was about to speak when Ian said,

00:58:24It means that the Smiths have someone

00:58:26who is even more impressive than Black Cat.

00:58:28Don't think that you can keep

00:58:30going on and on about Black Cat

00:58:32just because you have

00:58:34Black Cat in your organization.

00:58:36We're talking about the children's marriage

00:58:38now. Yet you keep

00:58:40going on and on about Black Cat.

00:58:42Can you get any more annoying?

00:58:44His words made Carl

00:58:46choke at once, but then he suddenly

00:58:48reacted and said,

00:58:50This isn't right, Smith.

00:58:52I am the one marrying my daughter

00:58:54to your nephew. You should be

00:58:56the one begging me instead.

00:58:58Why should I be the one

00:59:00coming over and talking to you?

00:59:02Ian, however,

00:59:04scoffed. If you don't

00:59:06want to talk to me about it,

00:59:08then I will go and talk to Tanya.

00:59:10As soon as he said that, Carl

00:59:12hurriedly said, No, no,

00:59:14talk to me. Tanya and Carl

00:59:16had only just acknowledged each other

00:59:18and their relationship was not

00:59:20very good. Carl

00:59:22couldn't adopt the attitude of a father-in-law

00:59:24and the Smiths at all.

00:59:26However, Carl

00:59:28would never allow his daughter to marry into

00:59:30the Smiths so quietly either.

00:59:32While he was thinking about it,

00:59:34Tanya and Joel entered

00:59:36the room, walking

00:59:38hand in hand.

00:59:40Both of them looked like they were in

00:59:42love with each other, and Tanya's

00:59:44eyes looked like they were smiling.

00:59:46Joel's smile had also

00:59:48become bigger and even more

00:59:50attractive than in the past.

00:59:52At the sight, Nora

00:59:54asked, Did something could

00:59:56happen to make the two of you smile like that?

00:59:58Tanya glanced at

01:00:00Joel and blushed a little.

01:00:02Though she didn't say anything,

01:00:04Joel walked up to Ian and Carl.

01:00:06He smiled and said,

01:00:08Uncle Ian, Dad, Nora,

01:00:10all of you are here.

01:00:12It just so happens that I have

01:00:14good news for you.

01:00:16All three of them were taken aback.

01:00:18Carl was the first to react.

01:00:20What did you just call me?

01:00:24Joel took out a folder and handed it to them.

01:00:26Tanya and I registered our

01:00:28marriage and got our marriage certificate.

01:00:30Today we are

01:00:32husband and wife from today.

01:00:34The news was simply too astounding.

01:00:36Or at least

01:00:38Nora was dumbfounded.

01:00:40She looked at Tanya incredulously.

01:00:42Carl was also stunned.

01:00:44You aren't the two of you

01:00:46being a little hasty about this.

01:00:48Tanya shook her head.

01:00:50We've already let each other slip by

01:00:52us for five years.

01:00:54We don't want to let another five years slip by us.

01:00:56Her words make Carl

01:00:58shut his mouth. Ian stared

01:01:00at the two of them, so happy

01:01:02that even his eyes had turned a little

01:01:04red. He patted

01:01:06Joel's hand and said, That's great.

01:01:08Great.

01:01:10While the bunch of them were all moved,

01:01:12Carl said with dissatisfaction,

01:01:14The wedding,

01:01:16Tanya said. I originally

01:01:18didn't want to hold a wedding because I felt

01:01:20that it was pointless when we already have a child,

01:01:22but Joel didn't agree to it.

01:01:24So, we've decided to

01:01:26invite our friends and family for a simple

01:01:28wedding a week later.

01:01:30Hearing this, Carl lowered his

01:01:32head. There was a faint

01:01:34layer of mist in his eyes.

01:01:36Hmph.

01:01:38At least you know what's good for you, kid.

01:01:40Joel smiled and said,

01:01:42Dad, Uncle Ian,

01:01:44I have some details of the wedding

01:01:46that I want to discuss with the two of you.

01:01:48While speaking, Hey,

01:01:50Ian and Carl entered the study.

01:01:52Tanya stayed where she was and

01:01:54looked at Nora. She said,

01:01:56Nora, I also have something to

01:01:58ask of you for the wedding. Dash.

01:02:00Nora raised

01:02:02her eyebrows. What is it?

01:02:04At night, Justin

01:02:06left the Hunt's Manor.

01:02:08As soon as he left,

01:02:10Mrs. Hunt walked over with the

01:02:12help of the housekeeper.

01:02:14She sighed and said,

01:02:16It's only been a day that he didn't see

01:02:18her yet. He's already

01:02:20unable to hold himself back.

01:02:22The housekeeper said,

01:02:24Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

01:02:26Besides, with the news

01:02:28of the Smiths looking for a son-in-law,

01:02:30Master Hunt must be terribly anxious.

01:02:32Mrs. Hunt snorted.

01:02:34I didn't hear anything about

01:02:36them looking for a son-in-law,

01:02:38but I did hear something else.

01:02:40What?

01:02:42As expected, the Smiths'

01:02:44young lady is a hillbilly who has

01:02:46never seen the world. She had the

01:02:48audacity to challenge the alternative

01:02:50medicine circle. She can't even

01:02:52see what she's made of anymore.

01:02:54If someone like her becomes

01:02:56the matriarch of the family,

01:02:58she will definitely offend a lot of people

01:03:00and make a lot of enemies

01:03:02for the Hunts. My head

01:03:04hurts the moment I think of this.

01:03:06As the housekeeper held

01:03:08Mrs. Hunt's arm, she asked,

01:03:10She challenged the alternative

01:03:12medicine circle? Yes.

01:03:14Mrs. Hunt sighed

01:03:16and said, Alternative medicine

01:03:18is extensive and profound,

01:03:20and the knowledge within is

01:03:22amazing. Do you remember the

01:03:24Zapp Corporation's coming pill?

01:03:26Wasn't it much more effective than

01:03:28modern medicine? From where

01:03:30exactly did a little surgeon like her

01:03:32find the courage to challenge the

01:03:34alternative medicine circle?

01:03:36The way I see it, the moment

01:03:38Doctor's aide's disciple takes action,

01:03:40he'll crush her beneath his feet.

01:03:42The housekeeper frowned.

01:03:44Will that bring trouble

01:03:46to the family?

01:03:48Mrs. Hunt sneered.

01:03:50It won't go as far as that,

01:03:52but I do think this is something

01:03:54that'll do her good.

01:03:56After all,

01:03:58once the competition is over,

01:04:00both the alternative and modern

01:04:02medicine circles will detest and

01:04:04despise her. With that,

01:04:06the Smiths will finally realize

01:04:08the position she's in.

01:04:10It will be much easier for the Hunts

01:04:12to propose marriage.

01:04:14After that,

01:04:16the housekeeper was surprised.

01:04:18You're still intending to let her marry

01:04:20into the family?

01:04:22Mrs. Hunt sighed.

01:04:24Look at how Justin is behaving.

01:04:26If I don't let her marry into the family,

01:04:28I will lose my grandson

01:04:30and great-grandchildren.

01:04:32I find the current situation pretty good.

01:04:34We'll let outsiders suppress her arrogance

01:04:36first. That's true.

01:04:38After the conversation,

01:04:40Mrs. Hunt said,

01:04:42Get ready. We will go to the

01:04:44Smiths to propose marriage two days

01:04:46later. Yes, ma'am.

01:04:48At the Smiths,

01:04:50they've got their marriage certificate.

01:04:52Justin's surprised voice traveled

01:04:54over through Cherry's phone.

01:04:56Cherry nodded. Yeah,

01:04:58so Maya's mom and dad can be together

01:05:00forever now. Daddy,

01:05:02will you and mommy get a marriage

01:05:04certificate too?

01:05:06Nora was sitting on the sofa and reading a book

01:05:08about medicine. Upon

01:05:10hearing this, she subconsciously

01:05:12looked at her cell phone, upon

01:05:14which she heard Justin say,

01:05:16As long as your mother agrees to it,

01:05:18I can do it anytime.

01:05:20Nora blinked and smiled.

01:05:22Cherry and Pete chatted with

01:05:24Justin a little more.

01:05:26Then Justin asked, What is your mother

01:05:28doing? Cherry replied,

01:05:30She's reading.

01:05:32Pass the phone to your mother.

01:05:34Cherry handed the phone to Nora.

01:05:36Nora put down the book and leaned

01:05:38back on the sofa lazily.

01:05:40What is it? Justin

01:05:42coughed. Put the phone off

01:05:44of speaker first. Nora

01:05:46raised her eyebrows and glanced at Cherry

01:05:48and Pete, who were looking at her eagerly.

01:05:50The two little fellows

01:05:52were just like two huge third wheels.

01:05:54She turned off the speaker

01:05:56mode. Speak,

01:05:58Nora. I miss

01:06:00you, Nora.

01:06:02When she heard this, she subconsciously

01:06:04glanced at the two kids again.

01:06:06For some reason, her cheeks suddenly

01:06:08felt a little warm.

01:06:10She stretched out her hand and

01:06:12fanned herself. Then

01:06:14she said and come down.

01:06:16Nora was taken aback at his words.

01:06:18She subconsciously got up,

01:06:20opened the door and went downstairs.

01:06:22She left the living

01:06:24room and walked towards the parking lot.

01:06:26It was very dark outside.

01:06:28She had just walked under

01:06:30a big tree when someone suddenly

01:06:32grabbed her wrist.

01:06:34She was held down and then a man's

01:06:36familiar aura pounced on her.

01:06:38Nora wanted to say something,

01:06:40but the next moment her lips were sealed.

01:06:42The little corner was

01:06:44very dark. Faint light

01:06:46passed through the area,

01:06:48revealing a man in a black suit pressing

01:06:50a woman half a head shorter than him

01:06:52against the wall. He cupped

01:06:54the woman's cheek in one hand

01:06:56while his other wrapped around

01:06:58her waist. It looked as

01:07:00if he had her trapped there,

01:07:02but in truth, Nora was still

01:07:04a short distance away from the wall.

01:07:06Justin had done this so that the wall

01:07:08behind her wouldn't make her cold.

01:07:10The man's large hands were

01:07:12scorching hot.

01:07:14The heat passed through her thin summer

01:07:16clothes, seemingly scalding

01:07:18her skin at the waist.

01:07:20Nora subconsciously wanted to push him

01:07:22away, but her lips had been

01:07:24sealed by him. The man's

01:07:26lips were like jelly, soft

01:07:28and cool to the touch.

01:07:30When they made contact with Nora's

01:07:32lips, it made her freeze in

01:07:34place. Her eyes widened

01:07:36in surprise, and she saw

01:07:38the man's face right in front of her.

01:07:40His eyes were dark and bottomless,

01:07:42saturated with burning

01:07:44passion and affection in the dim light.

01:07:46The beauty mark at the corner

01:07:48of his eyes seemed a little more alluring

01:07:50than usual. His sharp

01:07:52and defined nose bridge, as well

01:07:54as his skin that seemed poreless even

01:07:56at such close distance, made

01:07:58Nora unable to put up any resistance

01:08:00whatsoever. The New York

01:08:02skies had always been dull and grey.

01:08:04It was as if

01:08:06even the moon, high up

01:08:08in the sky, was hiding behind

01:08:10the clouds from shyness because of them.

01:08:12Thump, thump.

01:08:14The violent pounding of

01:08:16heartbeats reached Nora through their chests,

01:08:18which were pressed against each

01:08:20other's. At first, Nora

01:08:22thought the heartbeat was hers, but she

01:08:24suddenly realized that it was actually

01:08:26Justin's. The heartbeat seemed

01:08:28to possess some kind of captivating

01:08:30charm, which made her stop her

01:08:32hands from moving. Coupled with

01:08:34the man's breathing, which was

01:08:36slightly heavier than usual,

01:08:38Nora's cheeks slowly became

01:08:40burning hot. She couldn't

01:08:42help but swallow hard.

01:08:44Then she felt something cool on her forehead.

01:08:46The man had rested his

01:08:48forehead against hers. The feeling

01:08:50on her lips had disappeared.

01:08:52His voice was a little hoarse as he said,

01:08:54Nora, I missed

01:08:56you. Nora blinked.

01:08:58The man had already

01:09:00said that on the phone just now.

01:09:02But when the words rang in

01:09:04her ears in this instant, she

01:09:06felt as though there was a small, thin

01:09:08electric current slowly

01:09:10passing through her ears all the

01:09:12way to her heart. She swallowed

01:09:14again, seemingly having

01:09:16sensed her reaction.

01:09:18The man suddenly let out a low

01:09:20chuckle. Nora's cheeks

01:09:22turned red. She was about

01:09:24to ask him what he was laughing at when

01:09:26the man suddenly sealed her lips again,

01:09:28but his kiss wasn't like the

01:09:30one before. Instead,

01:09:32he tentatively parted

01:09:34his lips. The man's

01:09:36cool and clear breath, as

01:09:38well as the smell of vanilla, invaded

01:09:40her nose and mouth

01:09:42as if it wanted to take the air out

01:09:44of her lungs. The man was

01:09:46domineering and dedicated.

01:09:48He invaded and swept through her

01:09:50territory greedily as though he

01:09:52loathed despair even an inch of her.

01:09:54The kiss ended.

01:09:56Nora gasped for breath

01:09:58for the first time.

01:10:00She realized

01:10:02the kissing actually took so much energy.

01:10:04However,

01:10:06neither of them noticed that there were

01:10:08currently two heads staring at them

01:10:10from upstairs. One of them had

01:10:12a gloating look on his face while the

01:10:14other's face had cracked a smile.

01:10:16Two minutes ago,

01:10:18an indignant Carl said,

01:10:20My daughter has married your nephew.

01:10:22Just like that.

01:10:24Ayan sat in the wheelchair

01:10:26calmly. Duh!

01:10:28If not,

01:10:30then what else do you want?

01:10:32Carl paced back and forth.

01:10:34There was no proposal.

01:10:36No asking for her hand in marriage

01:10:38from her parents. No nothing.

01:10:40Just like that.

01:10:42They have gotten married so hastily.

01:10:44Huh?

01:10:46Carl clutched his chest.

01:10:48Can you put yourself in my shoes

01:10:50and think about it from another angle?

01:10:52Would you be willing to allow

01:10:54a man to abduct your daughter like that?

01:10:56No answer then.

01:10:58Right. So you.

01:11:00But before he could finish,

01:11:02Ayan sneered and said,

01:11:04What I mean is, Justin had

01:11:06always slept in the guest room when he was

01:11:08staying with the Smiths.

01:11:10My daughter doesn't care about him at all.

01:11:12She's unlike Tanya,

01:11:14who grew up with Joel as childhood

01:11:16sweethearts and is deeply in love

01:11:18with him. You can't stop them

01:11:20at all. Therefore,

01:11:22my daughter will not be easily abducted

01:11:24by anyone. Sorry,

01:11:26but I can't imagine myself in your

01:11:28shoes at all. The smug

01:11:30look on the man's face was simply too

01:11:32annoying. If Ayan wasn't in

01:11:34a wheelchair and terribly weak,

01:11:36he would probably have gotten into a fist

01:11:38fight with him long ago.

01:11:40The corners of his lips spasms.

01:11:42He was about to say something

01:11:44when both of them suddenly heard

01:11:46some noise outside.

01:11:48Carl and Ayan were taken aback then

01:11:50as if he had realized something.

01:11:52Ayan hurriedly pushed the wheelchair

01:11:54over to the window on the second

01:11:56floor. Through the window, he could

01:11:58see the lower floor. Justin

01:12:00was hugging and kissing his daughter.

01:12:02Ayan felt a twinge of pain

01:12:04in his chest. He clutched his

01:12:06chest.

01:12:08The situation in front of his eyes was

01:12:10no different from seeing the precious treasure

01:12:12that he had worked so hard to protect

01:12:14all these years being stolen

01:12:16by a pig.

01:12:18Carl couldn't help but laugh.

01:12:20His expression was the complete

01:12:22opposite of Ayan's.

01:12:24He pointed at Ayan and

01:12:26said with a grin,

01:12:28The way I see it, the Smiths

01:12:30are about to welcome double happiness.

01:12:32Say, do you want

01:12:34to marry your daughter off to a Joel

01:12:36in Tanya's wedding? Tanya and

01:12:38Nora are best friends anyway,

01:12:40so I'm sure they won't mind.

01:12:42Ayan,

01:12:44he was livid. He

01:12:46looked behind him and suddenly spotted

01:12:48a basin of water. He immediately

01:12:50took it, planning to pour it downstairs.

01:12:52However, his

01:12:54hands stopped midair.

01:12:56What if the water got onto Nora?

01:12:58As soon as

01:13:00the thought formed, he could only

01:13:02angrily put the basin of water back

01:13:04where it was. He was about

01:13:06to yell and separate the two of them downstairs

01:13:08when Carl whispered,

01:13:10I'd advise you not to say anything right

01:13:12now. Ayan turned to him.

01:13:14His eyes are red.

01:13:16It's because she's not your daughter, isn't

01:13:18it, Carl? That was exactly

01:13:20how I felt when Tanya married Joel.

01:13:22How I wish

01:13:24I could kill that brat.

01:13:26Hey, do you think you can kill

01:13:28anyone from the Smiths when you're in the States?

01:13:30I have Black Cat.

01:13:32Forget it. We're digressing.

01:13:34What I want to say is

01:13:36you can't do that. Tanya and

01:13:38I have only just acknowledged each other,

01:13:40but isn't that also the case

01:13:42for you, Nora?

01:13:44Think about it. Has Nora

01:13:46ever called you Dad?

01:13:48Ayan fell silent. Carl

01:13:50went on. Nora is

01:13:52much colder than Tanya in terms

01:13:54of personality. It's much

01:13:56harder for someone like her to warm up to

01:13:58someone. It must be very

01:14:00awkward between the two of you, right?

01:14:02Think about it.

01:14:04If you accidentally run into her

01:14:06secretly kissing a man, wouldn't

01:14:08things become even more awkward in the

01:14:10future? Ayan?

01:14:12Carl then said,

01:14:14therefore, the only thing you can do

01:14:16right now is to pretend you didn't see

01:14:18anything, lest your daughter drifts

01:14:20even further away from you.

01:14:22Ayan, when he thought

01:14:24about it carefully, what Carl

01:14:26said actually made a lot

01:14:28of sense. He reluctantly

01:14:30and indignantly suppressed his

01:14:32anger and pushed the wheelchair

01:14:34back and forth a few times.

01:14:36Then he went to the window and looked down again.

01:14:38When he did,

01:14:40he found that the two of them were kissing

01:14:42again, and this time

01:14:44the pig's hand was even starting to wander.

01:14:46Ayan's blood pressure

01:14:48instantly soared. How

01:14:50could he possibly tolerate that?

01:14:52He rolled up his sleeves and

01:14:54almost jumped straight down to stop the

01:14:56two of them. However,

01:14:58he suddenly heard movement

01:15:00from the first floor. It seemed

01:15:02that someone had returned and was driving

01:15:04to the parking.

01:15:06The sound finally separated Justin and

01:15:08Nora, and also caused Ayan

01:15:10to stop moving.

01:15:12Ayan's heart was pounding wildly.

01:15:14She felt that her heart rate must

01:15:16be at least 130 at the moment.

01:15:18As expected,

01:15:20falling in love sure was hard work.

01:15:22It was pretty much

01:15:24an anaerobic exercise at this

01:15:26point. She touched

01:15:28her chest and felt the pounding heartbeat.

01:15:30Then her eyes

01:15:32deliberately roamed about as she avoided

01:15:34making eye contact with Justin.

01:15:36There was a scorching look in the man's

01:15:38eyes. Sensing Nora's

01:15:40reluctance, he did not go any further.

01:15:42Instead, he

01:15:44reached out and touched his lips.

01:15:46Then he chuckled again and said,

01:15:48I want more.

01:15:50When Nora was about to speak,

01:15:52the man sighed and said,

01:15:54What a shame, though.

01:15:56Seeing that he wasn't planning to go any further,

01:15:58Nora breathed a sigh of relief.

01:16:00Nevertheless,

01:16:02she asked, What is?

01:16:04Justin looked at her.

01:16:06It's a shame that we're at the Smiths right

01:16:08now. Also, your father

01:16:10seems a little hostile towards me,

01:16:12so I have to take it a little easy

01:16:14here. If he sees us,

01:16:16it will become even more difficult for me

01:16:18to take you as my wife.

01:16:20As Nora listened to his

01:16:22aggrieved voice, she retorted,

01:16:24What else were you intending to do

01:16:26if we weren't at the Smiths?

01:16:28Although she spoke stiffly and

01:16:30a little coquettishly, one could

01:16:32still hear the shyness in her voice.

01:16:34Justin smiled and took a step

01:16:36closer. Kiss you

01:16:38some more, Nora, the man

01:16:40continued. I haven't

01:16:42had enough of kissing you yet.

01:16:44If we're in a room where there's no one to disturb

01:16:46us, and I won't have to worry about

01:16:48your father seeing us, I think

01:16:50I can kiss you for a whole day.

01:16:52Nora's cheeks turned even redder

01:16:54and she glared at him.

01:16:56You're shameless.

01:16:58Justin sighed. I used to think

01:17:00that I was a serious man.

01:17:02Brenda even used to call me a stick

01:17:04in the mud all the time.

01:17:06After all, I couldn't bring myself

01:17:08to listen to her sweet talking all day

01:17:10long.

01:17:12But now I suddenly understand.

01:17:14Understand what?

01:17:16Just, and let out a low chuckle

01:17:18with you.

01:17:20I can't help but want to act shamelessly

01:17:22all the time.

01:17:24Nora was close to becoming unable to

01:17:26listen to him any further.

01:17:28Right at this moment, Louis,

01:17:30who was humming a little tune,

01:17:32looked over in order to go from the parking lot

01:17:34to the house. He would have to walk

01:17:36past them.

01:17:38Nora pushed Justin and said,

01:17:40Hurry up and leave.

01:17:42Justin stared at her reluctantly.

01:17:44Then, I'll come again tomorrow.

01:17:46Nora ignored him.

01:17:48She turned and entered the house instead.

01:17:50Justin hurriedly hid

01:17:52behind a big tree.

01:17:54He waited until Louis had walked by

01:17:56before he stepped back out.

01:17:58As he touched his lips, he let out

01:18:00a sigh that sounded as if he hadn't

01:18:02had enough yet.

01:18:04Ian's fists were already iron-hard.

01:18:06He took a deep breath.

01:18:08Suddenly, he

01:18:10turned and summoned the butler.

01:18:12When the butler entered,

01:18:14Ian instructed, Install

01:18:16lights at this area outside my window.

01:18:18No install

01:18:20lights in every part of the villa tomorrow.

01:18:22The butler, Nora,

01:18:24entered the living room before

01:18:26she could go upstairs.

01:18:28Louis had already bounced into the room

01:18:30with his bleached blonde hair when he saw Nora.

01:18:32The young man, who was

01:18:34in a good mood, waved

01:18:36and called out Nora.

01:18:38Nora nodded at him. Louis glanced

01:18:40at her suspiciously.

01:18:42Nora, why are your lips

01:18:44so swollen? Nora's cheeks

01:18:46instantly turned red.

01:18:48However, she had always been a calm

01:18:50person, so she coughed

01:18:52and put her awkward hands in her pockets

01:18:54and replied coolly,

01:18:56Oh, I ate something spicy just now.

01:18:58No wonder your face

01:19:00is also so red. I thought you

01:19:02had a fever. Nora,

01:19:04she turned in annoyance

01:19:06and started heading to the second floor.

01:19:08Louis called out,

01:19:10By the way, I found

01:19:12out today that some of my puppies and kittens

01:19:14are sick. Can you take a

01:19:16look at them for me? No hurry.

01:19:18You can just come with me

01:19:20tomorrow. Had it been

01:19:22any other time, Nora would definitely have

01:19:24agreed. However,

01:19:26she had become annoyed because of her

01:19:28embarrassment just now. So

01:19:30she said, I'm not a vet.

01:19:32She went up the stairs after

01:19:34saying that. Louis,

01:19:36he scratched his head

01:19:38in bewilderment. His cousin

01:19:40seemed angry, but it didn't seem like

01:19:42it either. Never mind.

01:19:44He would just take the cats

01:19:46and dogs to the vet the next day instead.

01:19:48With that in mind,

01:19:50Louis was about to head upstairs,

01:19:52ready to go to his room to wash up

01:19:54and then play some games.

01:19:56But when he turned around,

01:19:58he instead saw Ian in his wheelchair

01:20:00looking at him quietly.

01:20:02There was a trace of a satisfied

01:20:04and relieved smile on his face.

01:20:06Louis shuddered

01:20:08all over. He stood

01:20:10ramrod straight and pried and called out

01:20:12respectfully, Hi, Uncle

01:20:14Ian. Ian smiled

01:20:16and said, Have you enough money

01:20:18for your expenses? Louis

01:20:20subconsciously held his hand

01:20:22over the few dozen cards in his pocket.

01:20:24In his pocket,

01:20:26his eyes widened and he

01:20:28asked warily, Uncle

01:20:30Ian, what's the matter?

01:20:32Was Uncle Ian intending to

01:20:34confiscate his money? After

01:20:36all, Joel had controlled

01:20:38his pocket money because Uncle Ian

01:20:40had started it. However,

01:20:42the next moment, his Uncle

01:20:44Ian beckoned him over kindly

01:20:46and said, Here's

01:20:48$150,000.

01:20:50You can spend it however you want.

01:20:52Louis,

01:20:54he took the money in trepidation.

01:20:56He didn't quite understand why

01:20:58Uncle Ian's personality had

01:21:00suddenly changed. However,

01:21:02the naive Louis didn't

01:21:04bother thinking about it.

01:21:06He had only one thought in his mind at the moment.

01:21:08He now had the money

01:21:10for his pet's medical expenses

01:21:12at the vet's tomorrow.

01:21:14The New York University of Medicine

01:21:16Lisa woke up in the morning

01:21:18as the one and only postgraduate

01:21:20student under Auntie's tutelage.

01:21:22The dean had given her

01:21:24a single dorm room so her living

01:21:26conditions were very good.

01:21:28She got up,

01:21:30washed up, and went to the school

01:21:32cafeteria for breakfast. As soon

01:21:34as she entered, she felt people

01:21:36looking at her and gesturing.

01:21:38Lisa kept her head down and got

01:21:40something to eat. With her lunchbox

01:21:42in hand, she went to an

01:21:44empty seat. Just as she was

01:21:46about to take a seat, the person next

01:21:48to her suddenly said,

01:21:50Sorry, mate. The seat's taken.

01:21:52Lisa didn't think

01:21:54much about it. She nodded

01:21:56and went to the other side with the lunchbox.

01:21:58However,

01:22:00she had only taken a couple of steps

01:22:02when the other person who was seated at the table

01:22:04said, But the seat isn't

01:22:06taken, is it?

01:22:08The schoolmate who had driven her away

01:22:10didn't bother lowering his voice at all

01:22:12as if he wanted her to hear it.

01:22:14He replied,

01:22:16Yeah, it isn't, but

01:22:18I don't want to sit and eat at the same

01:22:20table as a piece of trash.

01:22:22Lisa was taken aback.

01:22:24Another student immediately asked,

01:22:26Who is she? Why is she

01:22:28a piece of trash? She's

01:22:30auntie's one and only student.

01:22:32Just because auntie has picked up a few

01:22:34modern medicine skills abroad,

01:22:36she has forgotten her roots.

01:22:38Isn't a person like her a piece

01:22:40of trash? How can our

01:22:42students be any good?

01:22:44Hmm, I see it's auntie.

01:22:46She was originally my idol,

01:22:48but she has gone too far this time.

01:22:50Modern and

01:22:52alternative medicine have already been

01:22:54at loggerheads all these years.

01:22:56How can she so openly look down

01:22:58on alternative medicine?

01:23:00The group of people immediately

01:23:02launched into a discussion.

01:23:04Lisa bit her lip.

01:23:06Had they been insulting her instead,

01:23:08she might have endured it.

01:23:10However, she couldn't tolerate them

01:23:12insulting Nora.

01:23:14So she said the truth is not like what

01:23:16you people are claiming it to be.
