âWhat nonsense are you talking?â Bobby interrupted Irene. âWhen are you going to need the cord blood? I hope he doesnât need it for the rest of his life.â
Cord blood was primarily used to treat blood diseases, such as leukemia. Under normal circumstances, Iâm sure she wouldnât need it.
Irene snorted immediately. âYes, Nora definitely wonât need it. But we still have to tell her.â
Her disappointing brother back home was long gone. The Blacks in California were living more comfortably than before.
Especially since Bobby had recently been involved in some big business dealings with the company.
Although Bobby didnât know who had helped him, he had a feeling it might be related to Nora.
She was a nice girl who knew how to return kindness. At the time, he had misunderstood that Nora didnât care about his wifeâs life. However, when he saw the live broadcast, he finally understood why Nora was so indifferent then.
It turned out that the doctor she had found for the Blacks was herself.
Bobby felt guilty about kicking her out of the hospital then, so he snatched the phone from her and said to Lisa, âWhen you see Nora, remember to help me bring her home. Ask her to bring the little girl over to play when sheâs free. Iâll make her favorite brown sugar rice cake.â
ââ¦Okay.â Lisa hung up the phone and looked back at the luxurious door in front of her. She thought for a long time before knocking on the door.
The door opened quickly. The guard asked, âWho are you looking for?â
Lisa: ââ¦Iâm looking for Nora.â
The guard looked her up and down. âWait a minute.â
âOkay.â
The guard knocked and entered the lobby. The housekeeper, Lucy, had just finished tidying up the guest room for Lily. After receiving the call, she was about to call Nora to ask if she should come in when she was stopped by Lily. âLet Miss Lisa go in first. Miss Nora should be sleeping right now. Donât disturb her.â
Lily knew Noraâs body very well. Yesterday she had spent all day at the police station and in the evening she had gone to attend to Old Maddy. Although she had slept for a while, her energy still hadnât recovered. He must be sleeping right now.
Lucy listened to Lily and let the guard bring Lisa in.
Upstairs, Yvonne listened to their conversation and bit her lip angrily. She was nothing more than a servant, and would linger chatting after a few words were said. However, when Noraâs assistant spoke, she was as obedient as ever. She simply did not take her seriously!
How infuriating!

When Lisa was taken to the Smith residence, the first thing that struck her was the lavish courtyard.
This was New York!
In a place where every inch of land was worth money, they really had such a grand mansion. In addition, she noticed that in some places there were flowers planted and in others vegetables. It was the first time Lisa had experienced the difference between her and a truly wealthy family!
She was already terrified â no wonder Nora felt intimidated here!
Yes, she was sure Nora had suffered at the Smiths.
It was just medical malpractice. Even in California, if Henry didnât show up, her parents could bail her out. But in New York, the Smiths allowed Nora to be detained for 24 hours.
Wasnât it just because they were rich?
At the thought of this, Lisa became even more furious.
At that moment, a playful voice was heard. âHey, who is it?â
Lisa turned around and saw a man about her age with blond hairâ¦. To be exact, it was a young man approaching. She frowned when she heard the housekeeper say, âMr. Louis, this is Miss Noraâs cousin from California.â
Louis immediately appraised Lisa upon hearing this.
Was this her cousinâs trash family in California?
Ever since Nora had become his idol, he had asked around about her. When he asked around, he was instantly furious â he hadnât expected his cousin to live like this in California!
Especially that shameless insensitive father of hers. He had taken her motherâs money and still treated her so badly.
Therefore, Louis did not have a good impression of the California family. When he saw Lisa, he immediately scoffed. âTsk, are you here to take advantage of Nora now that sheâs turned into a phoenix?â
Take advantage of Nora?
Lisa sensed Louisâ contempt and was instantly enraged.
She was still a guest, but he was already being so rude. Wouldnât the Smiths be even ruder to Nora?
The soft girl had lost her temper too. She was so angry that her face was red and her voice was shaking. âWhatâs so good about you, do you have to despise me?â
Louis raised his head and put his hands on his hips. âThe Smiths are very impressive. Townie, youâve never seen a yard that big, have you?â
Townie?
Did they scold Nora like that, too?
Lisa kicked the flower bed next to her angrily. âWho are you calling a hick?â
Louis grimaced. âWho cares about that is the townie! What do you think your family is? Tsk, little girl, Iâd advise you to be careful. Do you know how much this vase of flowers costs? Any one of them is worth thousands of dollars! If you break it, will you be able to pay for it?â
Lisa: â!â
Her eyes were red as she looked at the vase of flowers. She walked to the other side and planned to kick the grass, but Louis said proudly, âThe grass over there is no ordinary grass. Itâs an orchid! One stem is worth tens of thousands. Are you sure you want to kick it?â.
Lisa stopped again and looked to the side.
Louis clicked his tongue and showed an expression of disdain. âGirl, the piece of land youâre stepping on is worth hundreds of thousands per square foot. Our family is rich, what can you say to that?â.
Lisa: â!â
She was furious. âEven if you have a lot of money, you canât buy kinship, why do you look down on us?â.
Louis didnât notice that âusâ and thought she was referring to the California family. So, he stuck his tongue out at her. âIâm just looking down on you guys. Hit me if you dare.â
As soon as he said this, Lisa had already raised her little fist and punched him in the face. âIâm so angry! Today Iâll have you know that money isnât everything. There are some people you canât afford to offend.â
Louis took a nimble step back and Lisa chased after him.
The two immediately started fighting.
This was what Lily saw when she came out.
They both had their hands on their hips.
Louis said annoyed, âHmph, your family bullied my cousin. Now itâs my turn to bully you.â
Lisaâs face was also red as she roared angrily, âThe Smiths are bullying my cousin. Let me tell you, my cousin and the Blacks are not people who can be bullied easily!â
