Chapter 571



The two were suddenly engulfed in silence.

Nora, who had decided to tell her part of the truth, turned to look at Brenda. Just as she was about to say something, the woman sighed and asked, “How did you know?”.

Nora: “???”

Brenda rested her chin on her hand and said, “Indeed, I have seen Black Cat before. Although I didn’t get a good look at his face, I’m sure he must be an elegant and handsome man!”

Nora: “????”

Brenda let out another soft sigh and said, “You may think it’s funny, but when I heard from Black Cat a year ago, I was actually sent to arrest him. You should also know that Black Cat is an internationally wanted criminal. But when I went, I didn’t catch him and, instead, I let him go quietly. That day, he was dressed completely in black. Gato Negro is not very tall, only 5 feet tall. However, he is very agile. I only saw from behind and couldn’t get a good look at his face, but it was precisely his side profile that made me fall so deeply in love with him!”

Nora: “????”

No, wait, why was the story unfolding a bit strangely?

Brenda covered her face and continued. “Saying it out loud sure makes me feel shy and embarrassed! Although it doesn’t stop me from looking at other handsome men, if Black Cat wanted me to, I’d ditch the whole fish pond and run straight into his arms!!!!!

Nora: “!!!”

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․c𝓸𝗆 brings imagination alive She wanted to say something, but someone suddenly called out to Brenda. Brenda immediately patted Nora on the shoulder and said, “I’ll go ahead, Nora.”

Then, as she turned to leave, she suddenly looked back at her and said, “I did see Black Cat before, so you don’t have to feel guilty that I didn’t get to meet Black Cat.”

Brenda then walked away. After walking a bit, she even stretched out her hands and formed a heart with her fingers toward her.

The corners of Nora’s lips twitched. Only then did she realize that Brenda must have been talking nonsense on purpose because she thought Nora would feel guilty about it….

She held her forehead and went back to her office.

A while later, she saw an email from Ruth. It was probably the questionnaire. When she opened the file curiously, she saw some very common questions, such as ‘What color do you like’, ‘What do you like to eat’, ‘How long do you sleep each day’, as well as a whole series of other questions about her personal life!

Nora found it a bit pointless and boring, so she nonchalantly filled it out and sent it back.

Just then, her phone rang. She looked down and saw it was Justin.

He hurried to answer it and asked, “Are you at the Smith mansion?”

“… I’ve already returned home from there.” When Nora heard this, she misunderstood and thought Ian had refused to let Justin into the house. She comforted him and said, “He probably can’t bear to part with me. However, I can make my own decisions in life. It’s not like I’m still a child…”

“No.”

Justin interrupted her. As if caught between laughter and tears, he said, “Your father…that is, my future father-in-law, has agreed to our marriage.”

Nora: “???”

This time she was the one who was astonished.

Had Ian accepted so easily?

In the midst of his doubts, Justin, who was just as puzzled, said, “When I went, the butler ushered me into the house before I could even tell him what I was there for. When I approached him about the engagement, Uncle Ian readily agreed. He even said he would come with other family elders to discuss the wedding date. However, he also said he would like you to stay with him a while longer. Gee.”

Nora laughed. “Why are you sighing?”

She thought the man would say it was because he had to stay with his father a while longer before he could get married, but unexpectedly, Justin instead replied, “I sigh because it looks like my father-in-law is about to get angry again when he just accepted me.”

Nora was puzzled. “Why?”

“… After all, there’s no way he’s going to listen to you-Cherry and Pete need a full home, too! So let’s get married as soon as possible, Nora!”

Nora: “!!!”

The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed. “This…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll settle the matter with Uncle Ian. Mm, I think it’s a very good idea to have the wedding in a month, what do you think?”

Nora: “???”

“If you don’t have any objections, then I’ll make the arrangements. You don’t have to bother with anything. All you have to do is rest and wait for the day of the marriage. Toot… toot… toot…”

This was the first time Justin had hung up on Nora. It sounded like he was afraid of hearing a rejection from her.

Nora stared at the phone for a while.

Getting married in a month?

Wasn’t this too fast?

Forget it, there was no way she could convince Ian. It didn’t matter, she wasn’t going to think about it anymore.

Nora slapped her face, stretched her legs out and propped them up on top of the desk. Bored, she left the office.

Unexpectedly, the sound of Ruth and Brenda arguing came from down the hall.

Ruth asked, “Brenda, why don’t you submit the questionnaire.” Brenda replied coldly, “Because…”.

She was about to speak, but suddenly thought of the confidentiality agreement.

The confidentiality agreement had stipulated that no matter what kind of questions were asked, even if they refused to answer, they could not mention anything about it to anyone!

But I was too frustrated.

What kind of questionnaire was that? It was practically a research questionnaire about Justin, OK?

There were questions about what he had done when he was young, what schools he had attended and at what age, what his personality was like, what his hobbies were, and so on. It didn’t hurt but to ask what brand of diapers Justin had used when he was a baby.

Ruth’s motives were practically out in the open!

How was she going to answer a questionnaire like that?

She scoffed and said, “Because I don’t think you’re any good for the interrogation, aren’t you, Miss Yale?”

Ruth sighed. “I know my questions don’t make any sense, but everyone has cooperated and answered. Also, tomorrow I will give you all a satisfactory answer sheet. You all just have to follow the interrogation methods I designate and you can get them to tell you anything you want! Can’t you all just cooperate with me?”

Brenda said coldly, “No, I can’t!”.

Ruth sighed and made a show of thinking it was too bad. Finally, she said, “Never mind, then. At first I wanted you to meet Black Cat with me. After all, you are internationally known for your interrogation skills. But since you’re not willing to cooperate, then forget it.”

Brenda: “????”
