Chapter 422



.

Everyone in the comments was laughing at her.

“Your rich Grandpa Sponsor must have found another dog. He doesn’t love you anymore.”

“Hahaha, I’m suddenly very happy to see the streamer bummed out.”

“Grandfather Sponsor must be tired of you, right? All big bosses are like that.”

…

Cherry wilted. She pouted and stopped talking.

When Ian saw her like that, his heart ached so much. He quickly pulled out his phone and secretly charged it. Then, while the others weren’t paying attention, he quickly went to Cherry’s live stream and sent her gifts.

The overwhelming gifts suddenly covered the entire screen.

When Cherry saw that the person giving her the gift was her Grandfather Sponsor, her eyes lit up.

She shouted happily, “My Grandfather Sponsor is here!”.

Ian had moved past second place and into first place. He was pleased.

However, just as he put down his phone, Justin, who was standing behind him, suddenly pulled out his phone and made a donation of one hundred gifts. The ranking instantly changed again.

Ian: “…”

Justin said, “Cherry, you can’t let a stranger control your emotions. Whatever you want, Dad will give it to you.”

Cherry looked at him immediately. “Thank you, daddy!”

“…”

After Justin gave the gifts, he put down his phone. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the living room seemed a little dull.

How much colder was it?

He pulled himself together and looked. He noticed that Ian was emitting coldness and looking at him sadly.

Justin: “?”

He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Uncle Ian, what’s wrong?”

Ian grimaced. “Mr. Hunt, are you very free today?”.

Justin: “…Sort of, I guess.”

Ian said, “Butler, Mr. Hunt still has company business to attend to. How can we keep him here at home on such a small matter? Get him to work quickly.”

Justin: “!!!”.

Confused, he looked at Joel pleadingly. However, not only did his brother-in-law not help him, he even turned his head to look away. His eyes, which were normally smiling, were now gloating….

Joel was feeling really good.

He and Justin ruled the economic lifeline of New York. The two interacted often and both were powerful people.

When had he ever seen him so aggrieved?

He felt… good.

When Justin saw that he was silent, and since Ian was the head of this family, he had to listen.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Nora’s body, he merely said, “Okay, I’ll go see Nora again tonight.”

Ian snorted, “Nora’s fine. You don’t need to visit her that often. When she wakes up, she’ll contact you.”

Justin: “…”

He grimaced and looked at Pete. “Then I’ll come see Pete tonight.”

Pete?

Ian was stunned to hear this. He turned to look at Pete, who had been sitting silently the whole time. When he saw his face, he was stunned.

Why did Pete look exactly like Cherry?

While he was stunned, Justin smiled brightly. “Uncle Ian, I forgot to tell you that Pete and Cherry are my and Nora’s children.”

He paused and added, “They’re twins.”

Ian: “…”

Justin, who finally had the upper hand, came out at the sight of her stunned look. “Uncle Ian, I’ll say goodbye then.”

He should give his father-in-law more time to come to terms with it!

After Justin left, Ian looked at Joel. “So these two kids have been together for a long time?”

He was referring to Nora and Justin.

Joel nodded. “The kids are five years old now.”

Ian paused. “He’s better than you!”

Joel: “…”

He looked at Mia silently. He was about to say that his daughter was also five, but seeing that Tanya was standing next to him, he said nothing.

Her daughter was not hers.

This could turn out to be the biggest regret of her life.

Ian went upstairs to check on Nora. After confirming that she was indeed asleep, he went downstairs relieved.

Joel let him rest. He looked at Cherry and nodded. After entering the bedroom, Ian let everyone out and secretly opened Cherry’s live feed.

Cherry had said earlier that she didn’t want to talk to her Grandfather Sponsor anymore, so he preferred not to acknowledge her first. They could meet after maintaining a peaceful relationship online!

Time passed very quickly. Soon it became dark. Suddenly, two little cuties appeared at home and the whole family cheered up.

Joel noticed that even Ian had a smile on his face.

Such happy moments were always easily disturbed.

After dinner, the sky darkened.

He was about to call his assistant to ask if Hillary had gone overseas when his assistant’s call came first. “Mr. Smith, something has happened.”

Joel was stunned. “What?”

The assistant said, “After she went abroad, Hillary sued him in Switzerland!”

She sued him?

Joel narrowed his eyes.

The assistant coughed. “She’s filed for custody of the child!”

Joel’s voice instantly went cold. “How dare he, where are the Joneses?”

The assistant said, “Mr. Jones contacted her and asked her to withdraw the suit, but she refused to listen. She insisted that the child is hers and hers alone. Even if she can’t be with you, she will sue you for custody of the child!”.

With that, the assistant coughed. “If this were in the country, we certainly would have been able to resolve it easily. But now, she’s suing from overseas. It’s not in our best interest to move there.”

Of course, Joel understood that, but the problem was….

He narrowed his eyes and asked, “If she’s not from Switzerland, how did she manage to file charges there? Why would the courts in Switzerland take a case like that?”

The assistant said, “We are still looking into it, but it seems that the court is taking the case very seriously. They are already preparing to send you a subpoena.”

Joel vaguely sensed something was wrong. “Investigate well!”

“Understood.”

After hanging up, Joel looked at Mia.

Actually, the case wasn’t complicated. If she didn’t go overseas, they couldn’t do anything about it. But Mia couldn’t stay in the country forever, could she?

It had only been a day. Where did Hillary find the guts to sue him!

Outside.

Justin looked at the Smiths’ brightly lit villa and felt especially envious.

He wanted so badly to go inside, but after having the butler inform him, his father-in-law refused to let him in. He even told him that it was getting too late and that he would not have him as a guest.

Justin didn’t want to be ostracized.

Ian was not someone he could handle unless his future brother-in-law helped him.

But to get his future brother-in-law to help him? He had to give him something important…

Something important…

Justin suddenly thought of the DNA test between Tanya and Mia….

His lips curved slightly. He had it.
