Chapter 104



.

“Dad?” Melissa was taken aback. “What daddy?”

Nora answered frankly, “It’s Cherry’s dad.”

Melissa was even more confused. “He’s in New York?”

When she reviewed Nora’s background at the time, her premarital pregnancy was said to have been caused by illicit sexual conduct. However, Melissa did not believe that she was a libertine woman, so she must have been deceived.

Therefore, she unconsciously thought that Cherry’s father must be a bad person.

And now, despite all he had done, he had come to New York to find them?

As she was lost in thought, Nora took Cherry’s hand and walked out. Melissa watched the two of them from the back.

The adult, lazy and careless, carried her hands behind her head and shuffled her feet as she walked, while the girl automatically clutched the corner of her clothes and hopped along with her obediently.

Neither walked properly in the traditional sense, yet they formed an inexplicably harmonious and comforting sight.

Nora was still driving the Andersons’ jeep. Her movements were neat and nimble as she entered the car. She had Cherry sit properly in the back seat. After putting on his seat belt, he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped off.

His driving was a bit reckless, but Cherry was not afraid.

He cut the half-hour drive down to just fifteen minutes.

The Hunts owned a large mansion, but it was said to be home to several generations of the Hunts, so Justin lived elsewhere with his son.

Step into new worlds at g Ɐ lnσ ν𝓮 ℓs․conn Soon, Nora’s car pulled up to the caretaker’s house. Normally, visitors were supposed to check in at the parking lot, but as soon as she slowed down, the guard immediately said, “Miss Smith, Mr. Hunt has already notified us that you are coming today. Please proceed.”

Nora raised her eyebrows. Surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn’t expected Justin to be so considerate.

But when she thought about it, it made sense. It must have been crowded and busy when a boy genius in high places like him was having a birthday party, so he must have given the guards the guest list long ago, right?

Otherwise, it would be too much of a hassle to register the visitors and call the host one by one.

With this in mind, he headed for the villa complex.

The villa complex was very large and the surroundings very beautiful.

The last time Nora had been here, it was when she had learned that Pete was her son. Pete had brought her here to look for Cherry. It was very late that night and she hadn’t been in the mood to appreciate the surroundings that time either.

As she looked around, she noticed that there was even a small stream inside. The villa complex was built next to hills and rivers, so the surroundings were very unique and distinctive. In addition, there were only a few villas in the interior, each located far away from the other, so the place was very peaceful and quiet.

As we rounded the corner, someone suddenly rushed to the front of the car.

Screeeeeeech!

Nora slammed on the brakes. Inertia caused her body to lean forward slightly. As she sat up to see who exactly it was that was being so reckless, someone fiercely slammed the car window to the side.

He turned to the side and saw a few large, muscular men standing there waving at him.

A few people stood in front of and behind the car, trapping her and leaving her nowhere to go.

Nora frowned in disgust. She rolled down the window, leaned an arm nonchalantly against the door, and asked lazily, “What’s wrong?”

The man standing by the window had a long scar on his face and looked very fierce and menacing. He roared, “Get out of the car!”.

Nora, “?”

Tsk. Were they trying to scare her?

She didn’t move. Her feline eyes were downcast as she asked, “Is something the matter?”

Scarface was about to say something when someone next to her sighed admiringly and commented, “Hey, that girl is gorgeous!”

As soon as he said that, mischievous looks suddenly appeared in the other men’s eyes and they stared at Nora greedily.

Scarface frowned and ordered in a low voice: “Our target is the Hunt’s Master. Don’t create unnecessary trouble! If it’s women you want, you can get the ones you want after we finish the job and get our money!”

He was probably the leader of the group. After saying that, no one made any more moves, although they kept looking at Nora.

Nora, however, frowned and asked, “Is your target Master of the Hunt?”

“Yes!” Scarface looked out the window toward the back seat. He said, “If you know what’s good for you, turn him in! We don’t want to do anything more than that, so we can let you go! If not, neither you nor he will live.”

“Neither you nor he will live…”.

A sharp look suddenly flared in Nora’s eyes.

Just like what she had thought, they were indeed here for her son.

Scarface was only being paid to do what the person who had hired him wanted. Someone had offered an astronomical sum for the life of the Hunt Lordling. Although it was a difficult mission, it paid more than others.

After finishing the job, they wouldn’t have to worry about making ends meet for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, he had brought his men with him and set up an ambush.

They had already destroyed the surveillance cameras in the area a few days ago and had also waited here for a long time. However, as expected of a wealthy man, Lord Hunt had bodyguards with him at all times. Moreover, the Hunt Lordship was never left alone and always had at least three or four bodyguards with him.

They would only go to the Hunt Corporation or the Quinn School of Martial Arts.

How could they have the courage to go to either of those places?

So, they could only hope for one chance here, and now, he was finally alone!

Scarface looked at Cherry and curved his lip in disdain.

The Little Lord of the Hunts sure was cautious. As soon as he was alone, he dressed like a girl. If it weren’t for the fact that I’d seen pictures of him, I probably wouldn’t even have recognized him!

As for the charming driver, he didn’t take her seriously at all.

At last, he was about to complete his mission. At the thought of the money he was going to get, Scarface eagerly approached the car. However, it was at that moment that someone suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder.

Nora calmly said to the person in the car, “Cherry, close your eyes and sing.”

“Okay, Mom.”

Cherry, who was sitting in the back seat, had long since gotten used to this. She stretched out her chubby fingers and covered her eyes. Then, she began to sing.

“Mary had a little man, little man, little man, little man~.

“Mary had a little man, he was so handsome~”

Bam!

“Ugh!”

Bam!

“Ow! That hurts!”

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Chaotic sounds from outside rang out along with Cherry’s nursery rhymes. The little girl couldn’t help but look through her fingers, but every time she looked, she made eye contact with Nora’s watchful eyes.

Cherry immediately looked straight ahead obediently. She dared not look any further.

At the same time, she was also much better behaved.

Jeez, Mom was too fierce.

Those wicked people were too pitiful…..

When the nursery rhyme ended, the seven or eight big, muscular men outside were all lying on the ground.

Scarface, who ached all over her body, couldn’t get up at all. She stared at the woman in amazement. “Who are you?”

Given her abilities, it was impossible for her to be a nobody on the scene.

Nora held up Scarface’s necklace. Instead of answering, she asked, “What’s your name?”

“B-Ben Loris.”

Nora asked, “Where do you live, who do you have in your family?”

Scarface answered her questions one by one. Nora took her cell phone, tapped it several times at random, and hacked into the public safety system. Then, she found her personal information.

She held out the cell phone to Scarface and showed it to him. Immediately, she panicked. “What do you want? It’s a rule in our work to leave family members out of this.”

However, Nora’s lips curved into a smile and she said, “Remember, if anything happens to Master Hunt, it doesn’t matter who did it, I’ll come just for you.”

Scarface, “!”

Nora dusted off her hands and looked at Cherry. “Come on… Don’t delay your daddy’s birthday celebration.”
