When Justin said this, the whole place went silent.
Everyone looked at each other, astonished.
Even Elder Mrs. Hunt was stunned. When she had asked Justin about Xanderâs mother, he had said that if that person dared to show up, he would definitely kill her. Then, he had said that his mother was dead.
But now, why was a mother showing up?
Elder Mrs. Hunt was stunned.
She had appeared in front of Ian and had mentioned the illegitimate child in front of so many people. She also said that Nora was pregnant before they were married because she wanted Nora to have a bad reputation in upper class New York society. It was to stifle her so she wouldnât depend on the love of the Smiths and Justin to do what she wanted at home.
After all, he no longer cared about her.
Last time, when she had asked him to treat Thomas, Nora had turned her down and didnât care about her at all.
Noraâs identity was really too good.
Not to mention that being Ianâs only daughter, only Noraâs doctor status ensured that Elder Mrs. Hunt wouldnât have to worry about herself when she was older. But now, Justin was saying that Xanderâs mother was still around and he didnât really seem to hate herâ¦.
Elder Mrs. Hunt was surprised and her expression changed.
Ian frowned and looked at Justin with dismay.
What was the meaning of this?
However, the shrewd Ian didnât explode on the spot. After all, this was his grandson and granddaughterâs birthday party. No matter how many grievances he felt, he had to suppress them.
Elderly Mrs. Hunt was burning with anxiety. Before she could say anything, Mrs. Livingstone, who had been standing beside her, observed the commotion and said, âHuh? In that case, Mr. Hunt, do you know Xanderâs mother? But speaking of which, it wasnât easy for that woman to give birth to her son. She even raised her son for five years. Our family should treat her well, shouldnât they?â.
Elder Mrs. Hunt wanted to suppress Nora, but she still loved this granddaughter-in-law.
But Mrs. Livingstone wanted to annul this marriage!
Her son had been to several hospitals but could not be treated. He even went to see a traditional alternative medicine doctor. In the end, the doctor told her he would never recover.
If he really wanted to try, only Doctor Zabeâs disciple could treat him.
His only hope was Nora, but Nora wouldnât help them!
Mrs. Livingstone hated Nora.
If you wonât treat my sonâ¦. Then donât even think about living well!
Mrs. Livingstone was about to say something when Elder Mrs. Hunt suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped her from speaking. She looked at Ian. âJustin, youâre being ridiculous, how could Xander have a mother? Even if he does, our family will never get one. On behalf of the Hunts, I only acknowledge Nora as my granddaughter-in-law.â
With that, he turned to Justin and scolded, âI donât care what you think of Xanderâs mother. She can never enter my family, do you hear me?â.
Elder Mrs. Huntâs attitude changed drastically.
Justinâs eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to announce who Xanderâs mother was, Mrs. Livingstone said, âAuntie, youâre wrong! After all, she is Xanderâs mother. Itâs natural for her to want to see her son. Why canât she marry into the family? Even if Miss Smith marries Mr. Hunt, she has to be magnanimous. She canât suppress a mistress⦠We are all worthy people, so we canât do such a thing, can we?â
Mrs. Livingstoneâs words were very cruel.
She compared Xanderâs mother to a mistress. Under the circumstances, if Ian didnât break off the engagement soon, all of New York would laugh at the Smiths!
If he let his only daughter compete with a mistress, the Hunts would forever trample the Smiths.
Ian pursed his lips and looked at Justin again.
He had seen with his own eyes how much Justin liked Nora. There had to be a reason for that person to suddenly mention Xanderâs mother.
As for the inside story, why was he still so quietâ¦.
Unlessâ¦
Ian thought of something and his pupils suddenly constricted. He suddenly looked at Justin. Could it beâ¦
Ianâs eyes lit up.
When Mrs. Livingstone said this, Elder Mrs. Huntâs expression changed drastically. She pointed at her and said, âHow ignorant, how can such a woman come into my family, Justin will have nothing to do with that kind of woman in the future.â
Elder Mrs. Hunt was furious.
As important as her maiden family was, she was not as important as her grandson!
Mrs. Livingstoneâs words were too aggressive!
Mrs. Livingstone covered her mouth and laughed. âAuntie, why are you so angry, Justin hasnât even said who he is. Besides, she may even be the daughter of a rich family. Look at you, youâre just denying her.â
Elder Mrs. Hunt narrowed her eyes. âI donât care who she is, I wonât recognize her!â
She had meticulously raised Pete to have a high IQ. He was someone more outstanding than Justin and was destined to become the Hunt heir.
No matter how good his status was, she wouldnât want her!
Besides, Noraâs status was already very high.
As soon as Elder Mrs. Hunt finished speaking, Justin said, âIndeed, she is from a wealthy family.â
Mrs. Livingstone smiled, âOh, who is it? Have we met?â
