Chapter 569



Louis’ words made both Joel and Ian gasp in surprise, and they both looked at him in unison.

Louis related what had just happened. Then, he said, “I couldn’t clearly see what the man looked like, but why didn’t he leave Nora on the way home? Also, after the two got out of the car, it’s clear that they hugged each other before changing cars…. So, is Nora really seeing someone else behind Pete’s father’s back?”.

To Louis, Justin wasn’t the Hunts’ boss. Rather, he was just Pete and Cherry’s father!

Pete, Joel and Ian exchanged glances with each other. In the end, all three let out quiet sighs. Ian said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Nora’s not like that.”

Louis nodded. “I think so, too. She’s so rich that it’s impossible for her to be so fickle.”

All: “?”

Was there any correlation between fickleness and being rich? The three people downstairs felt a mix of emotions as they watched the carefree Louis walk upstairs with his bleached blond hair. How they wished their IQs were as low as his too!

Then they wouldn’t give things too much thought.

While they were thinking about it, Nora came home.

Although her appearance was as cool and unconcerned as usual, it was evident that her mood was a little different. Even her steps, which had always been too lazy to lift when she walked, had become a little lighter than usual. Even her face was rosy. Those ruddy lips of hers stood out in particular. Ian and Joel, already experienced in certain things, could tell at a glance what had happened. The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

Instead, it was Pete who asked, “Mommy, what did your meeting consist of? It’s been going on so long.”

‘About love,’ Nora said inside her head. On the surface, however, she replied, “Mm, it was about a relatively difficult project. I’m going upstairs to wash up.”

But when she reached the stairs, she suddenly looked behind her.

The moment she did, she saw the complex looks on Ian and Joel’s faces. However, the moment she looked behind her, they both withdrew their gazes. The one watching TV looked back at her, while the one drinking tea took a sip….

It’s just… it looked like the teacup in Ian’s hand was already empty a long time ago….

Besides, with the way Joel was constantly changing TV channels, what exactly was he watching?

Why were they behaving so strangely today?

Without thinking too much about it, Nora said, “By the way, Justin is coming to confirm our engagement tomorrow.”

After speaking, she was quiet for a while. Then, she said, “Don’t put him in a difficult situation, Dad.”

The word ‘dad’ made Ian’s hands shake. The teacup in his hand fell to the carpet.

Ian suddenly raised his head and looked at Nora in disbelief…..

Nora, however, looked slightly embarrassed as she walked up the stairs with her head down.

Pete also hurriedly gathered up his books and followed her up the stairs.

Joel and Ian were the only ones left in the living room. Joel picked up the teacup and placed it in front of Ian. Suddenly, Ian grabbed his arm and said, “Joel, did you hear that? Dad called me.”

Joel nodded and smiled, “Yes, I heard that.”

Ian immediately sat up, excited. He said, “Never mind. At first I wanted to talk some sense into her and convince her that Justin isn’t fit to be part of her harem, but since she likes him, we’re not going to fight about it!”

Joel: “???”

Ian had always been somewhat opposed to Nora marrying Justin because Justin was too capable. He feared that his daughter would be at a disadvantage in the marriage. But since he had discovered that his daughter was a fickle woman who only liked handsome men, and Justin was, indeed, very handsome…if his daughter simply wasn’t obsessed with romance, of course he, as her father, would have to help her!

What was he to do to make Justin dutifully stay in his role as ‘queen’ and not bother with his daughter’s concubines?

Ian pondered this serious philosophical question of life.

Early the next morning.

Outside the Hunt mansion.

Brenda stepped forward in her high heels and shook her curls in the air as she opened the door and looked at Ruth, who was outside.

It was already autumn and the weather was slowly cooling down. The air was a bit chilly at the moment. Ruth, who was rubbing her arms, smiled when she saw her. “You’re here,” she said.

Brenda raised her eyebrows and nodded. Then he led her inside the house and said, “You said so yourself, didn’t you? If I show you Hunt Manor, you’ll introduce me to Black Cat.”

Ruth nodded. “Yes, that’s right!”

Brenda folded her arms, her attitude lukewarm. She hated the woman with a vengeance, but as long as she could meet Black Cat, she’d put up with her!

However, she still didn’t understand. “Why did you make that request?”

Ruth’s gaze swept over the place with great interest. She replied, “I just want to know what kind of mansion a family like yours lives in. After all, I’ve never seen such wealth.”

Brenda rolled her eyes and yawned. Then she looked at her freshly manicured nails and said, “It’s nothing, really. There aren’t even as many good-looking guys here as there are out there!”.

Ruth: “…”

She looked around the house. Only after following Brenda into the master suite did she finally ask, “Where’s your big brother? I hear he’s very handsome.”

Brenda immediately became wary. She looked Ruth up and down and sneered, “Surely you’re not here for him, are you? I’ll tell you one thing: with your plain looks, you don’t stand a chance. Besides, I already have a sister-in-law!”.

Ruth narrowed her eyes. “Take me to him. I have something to tell him. If you do, I’ll let you meet Black Cat-what do you think?”

Black Cat…

This was too great a temptation for Brenda.

As a member of Interpol, interrogations were her forte. But compared to Black Cat, she was still far inferior. Therefore, she had always wanted to learn from Black Cat.

One could say that Black Cat was the idol of people like her.

Otherwise, he would never have allowed Ruth to enter Hunt Manor!

Seeing her hesitate, Ruth said, “It’s a fair exchange, isn’t it? Besides, it’s not like you’re letting Nora down by doing that. After all, you’re only taking me to him. Whether or not I can convince him is up to me, not you…”

As soon as he said that, Brenda sighed quietly. “I’ve really let Nora down.”

With that, Ruth knew she had given in. She smiled and said comfortingly, “You don’t have to feel guilty about it. This has nothing to do with you.”

“What do you mean it has nothing to do with me?”

Brenda suddenly held his hand. “Just now, I was actually hesitating whether to choose between Black Cat or Nora! I’ve really let Nora down.”

After saying this, she dragged Ruth to the front door. “So, I mustn’t make any more mistakes, get lost!”

Bam!

Brenda was very strong-she pushed Ruth straight for the door!

Ruth staggered. After steadying herself, she finally reacted and said angrily, “Brenda! Aren’t you afraid you’ll make an enemy of Black Cat if you do this?”

Almost as soon as she said that, Nora’s cold, crisp voice came through. “Black Cat won’t antagonize her!”
