Chapter 1045



The two reporters: “????”

They just moved their mouths.

The rest of the reporters opened their mouths when they saw how they acted, “What’s the situation? I heard here that Mrs. Hunt didn’t even finish elementary school, did you interview Mrs. Hunt?”

“…… No.”

The two reporters opened their mouths.

The rest of the reporters were dismissive, “Gee, Mrs. Hunt should be the easiest person to talk to at the banquet today, the rest are all big shots …… you guys didn’t even interview Mrs. Hunt …… Who else could you interview?”

The Two Reporters: “…… Mr. Hunt.”

“……”

The reporters were quiet for a moment and then exploded.

“What?”

“Mr. Hunt gave an interview?”

“How is that possible! The hardest person to interview for a financial report is Mr. Hunt, right? And many of the people who are here today are here as a show of respect for Mr. Hunt, which shows that Mr. Hunt is very powerful …… How could I give them an interview ……”

Another person approached a microphone directly to the two reporters, “Brother, did Mr. Hunt release something? Can you tell us about it? You guys hit the jackpot, so at least give us some information to live……”

The two reporters: “……”

One of them scratched his head, “That, the interview thing can be shared.”

This was what Mr. Hunt had said.

He told them all to be sure to ‘clear’ his wife, apparently saying that they were clearly showing his identity, right?

The two people who knew Nora’s true identity froze at that point, and coughed, “We can find a place and discuss it properly.”

—

Although the birthday party ended quickly, everyone came from everywhere and did not disperse quickly.

Fortunately, the Hunt Villa was large enough for them to stay.

The men gathered to chat.

The women, on the other hand, gathered.

Cherry and Mia met and laughed with Tanya and Joel over another child they later had. The little guy was five years old, very lively and cute, and especially loved to follow Cherry around and drool at her, “Sister Cherry you are so beautiful, will you marry me when I grow up?”.

Cherry: “…… Yes!”

Then the little one jumped up, happy, then looked around and asked, “Where is Brother Pete?”.

Today wasn’t Nora’s full birthday, so this couldn’t be heavy, while Pete didn’t return because he was researching a project overseas.

Thinking back, Pete hadn’t been back in a long time.

Cherry smiled, “I don’t know, but they seem to be very busy, as if they have entered a very important stage, so they are not allowed to contact their family now ……”

After saying that, Cherry cautiously looked at Mia, she saw her face as usual, only at the end there was still some disappointment in her eyes, so she opened her mouth again.

“I was playing a while ago, I didn’t even come back! But our club has already won first place in the country, and next month we’re going to participate in a competition overseas, which happens to be in your city, So I’ll go see my brother then! Then I’ll ask him to call Mia!”

Mia blushed, “No, no need ……”

She was slim, her small pointed face looked thin, her skin very white, a typical country beauty with a bit of classical atmosphere, “That, I suddenly remembered that I have to do my homework, so I’ll go first.”

Mia stood up, greeted Tanya and Joel, then went straight away.

Seeing her in this state, Cherry’s eyes bugged out a little.

Mia’s eyes seemed to be bloodshot right now….

But Pete and Mia began to drift apart as they grew older.

She sighed quietly and suddenly realized that her uncle and grandfather had gone out on the balcony, so she followed them, and just as she got closer, she heard Joel open his mouth, “Dad, I want to give half of the Smith Family shares, to Nora.”

Ian was stunned and asked, “Why?”

As the words came out, he looked up, “Is it because my older brother and his sister-in-law are looking for you again?”

Joel was silent for a moment, “…… They want my younger brother to inherit the family fortune.”

“Nonsense!” Ian scolded angrily, then sighed, “Joel, no matter what, in my eyes, you are Smith Family!”

Joel hesitated for a moment, “But I am an adopted son after all ……”

“Huh!” Ian scoffed, “So what if you’re adopted, are you worse than a biological one? Kinship between people sometimes isn’t in the blood …… they adopted you when they couldn’t give birth to a child, hiding it from the family, telling the public you were theirs, and later, when they had their own biological child, they wanted to abandon you …… Such people don’t deserve to be parents!”

Joel tensed his jaw.

Memories of his childhood came flooding back.

As the eldest of the Smith Family generation, he was expected to grow up with high expectations.

But he had never understood why his parents were so kind to his younger brother, but always treated him with disrespect, and sometimes even wished him dead.

Until once he heard the reason: he was adopted.

And because his father had a son as a bargaining chip to compete with Ian for the inheritance, he never told the public, and it was certain that no more than five people knew.

Not even the Smith Family siblings knew.

His parents had a big fight with Ian over it, and it was at that time that he learned the truth.

-He was the only one who knew the truth.

At that moment, Mia was sitting in the car on the way back to the Smith Family home, holding her cell phone for a long, long time.

She missed Pete very much.

She knew she had developed undeserved feelings for him……. Pete should have sensed that, right? That’s why he had walked away from her ……

It had been over a year since they had been in touch.

She had been studying hard, wanted to get into Stanford University, visit the school where Xiao Shi’s brother had studied, and then go abroad as well …… but didn’t dare say so.

To Cherry, it looked like she was having a fight with her brother, but she was not.

She sighed quietly and hung up the phone at last.

These feelings were unrequited, then she should hide them to death in her heart …… so as not to be noticed by others again.
