Chapter 287



.

Since Yvette left New York, Ian was very busy and hardly ever came home. He flew out every day and increased business.

However, the cities he had been to included foreign countries and major cities around the country. He had never been to California.

When it became clear to Joel, he saw that the website had automatically switched to Ryan’s itinerary. Only then did he realize that 25 years ago, Ryan had once booked a flight to California!

Joel: “???”

First, the hacker investigated Ian’s whereabouts, and now, he was investigating Ryan’s whereabouts? Needless to say, who had hacked into the Smiths’ system.

The corners of his mouth twitched. He felt that Mr. Hunt was really too free. He really had gone out of his way to confirm his girlfriend’s identity.

After all, the Smiths’ security system had been designed by the best. Other than the Hunts, no one else had the ability to hack it, right?

However, when he realized that the other party had only looked into this and had quietly withdrawn, he simply didn’t pursue the matter further. After all, the hacker hadn’t spied on his company’s secrets.

At the Smiths.

After investigating, Nora frowned even more.

Ryan had been in California, but Ian hadn’t been in California in the year before he was born. Therefore, she couldn’t be Ian’s daughter, could she?

She sighed quietly and exited the computer. Then, she looked around the guest room.

The guest room was a hundred square feet and was a private room. Apart from the master bedroom, there was the living room and the study room. He packed his luggage and lay down on the bed.

The soft bed was very comfortable and she fell asleep without realizing it.

When she woke up, it was already dark.

She got up and stretched, then took out her phone and looked around. She noticed there were a few WChat messages from Justin.

JH: “What are you doing, are we having lunch together?”

JH: “Are you sleeping, are we eating together tonight?”

JH: “It’s already 5 p.m. Are you still sleeping?”

JH: “It’s already 8 p.m. Why aren’t you awake yet?”

Nora: “…”

She yawned and replied, “I am awake.”

The other party instantly replied, “Shall we have dinner together?”

Nora: “…”

She replied, “Eat something alone. I’m busy.”

JH: “What are you busy about?”

Nora: “I want to sleep after eating”.

JH: “…”

After sending this message, Nora threw her phone aside and went out.

A few days ago, she had not slept for two days in order to refine the medicine for Mrs. Hunt. Therefore, she had to sleep more these days.

The guest room was on the second floor. As they left and walked down the hallway, they heard voices in the dining room below.

Yvonne was a little worried. “Warren, are you really not going to wake her up? She hasn’t even had dinner…. Maybe she’s embarrassed?”

Warren scoffed. “Hmph, who cares if she eats or not! Who’s she putting on airs for! I thought she was Uncle Ian’s daughter and that we finally had a biological cousin. I didn’t expect her to be Uncle Ryan’s daughter! This is too much! How can Uncle Ryan snatch Uncle Ian’s wife? Even though this cousin is his biological daughter and related by blood, I can’t possibly like her!”

With that, the servant beside her said, “So, Sir Warren, is there any food left in the kitchen?”

Yvonne looked down and said, “Of course. Warren, she has also come to our house and she is our Senior Miss. We definitely need to save some food for her.”

Warren was really furious. “Who does she think she is? Yvonne, don’t worry. I definitely won’t distance myself from you just because she’s related to me by blood. In my heart, you’re the only sister I have.”

Yvonne sighed in relief.

Having grown up in this family, she knew better than anyone how lenient this family was with girls.

Not to mention how much her uncles from the previous generation adored her, but even at this age, they were still desperately trying to have a girl.

The older brothers of this generation definitely had a sister complex!

For example, the last time she attended the Hunts’ birthday banquet. Warren had bought the most expensive dress for her, not his own wife.

Although she was not a biological daughter, her status in the family had always been number one.

Whatever happened, what was best was for her.

Therefore, she was very afraid that because of Nora, who was related to her siblings by blood, she would lose their favor.

Hearing Warren’s words, she was relieved.

She sighed and comforted him again. “Warren, even so, since she has moved here, we can’t let her starve to death. We can’t throw away the food.”

Warren immediately said angrily, “You’re right. Even if a stray cat or dog comes to our house, it’s still a member of the Smiths. We definitely can’t let it starve.”

With that, he instructed the nanny in the most ruthless manner, “Go, save that portion of Australian lobster for her. There’s also prime steak. By the way, she may not like Western food. Make her some bird’s nest porridge and scones. I remember our fried buns are the best. Wrap them up for her too. When she wakes up, bake them. The freshly cooked ones are the best. Then let her choose. I want her to die from overeating.”

Nanny: …

Yvonne: …

Nora, who was getting ready to go downstairs: …

Yvonne’s expression changed. She had always known that her brother Warren couldn’t speak, and that he often said one thing but meant another. She clenched her fists tightly and looked down. “Warren that’s too much food. It won’t be good if it goes to waste.”

Warren hesitated a moment. “She’s not a fool. Will she really eat it all? Forget it. I’ll leave some for her. I’ll see what she likes to eat and fix it tomorrow.”

With that, he hastened to clarify. “I’m not doing this for her sake. I’m showing her how powerful the Smiths are. I’m also showing him the delicacies of the Smiths so he doesn’t gobble up the delicious food outside and make us lose face!”

Yvonne: “…”

Warren didn’t think he had said anything wrong. In his mind’s eye, he saw Nora devouring the cake at the Hunt banquet. At that moment, Mr. Hunt had been watching from the side and his mouth had even moved.

He must have been criticizing this girl inside for not being presentable.

How could he allow anyone to look down on the Smiths’ daughter?

As she was thinking about this, suddenly there was a knock at the door. Immediately, a few people came in with hot dishes.

The butler followed them in. “Mr. Warren, this is the dinner that Mr. Hunt had reserved for Miss Smith. He said that Miss Smith has already awakened and asked us to have it delivered.”

Warren: “?????”.

Nora, who was upstairs: “????”.

Staring at the huge plate of food, her lips twitched.

Justin, do you think I’m a pig?
