Justin kept smiling. âI should have heard of her by now!â
This meant she was of high status!
Mrs. Livingstone got even more excited. âSo tell meâ¦â
Beside her, Elder Mrs. Hunt tugged hard on Mrs. Livingstoneâs hand and even began to pinch her arm, but Mrs. Livingstone paid no heed.
Elder Mrs. Huntâs anger increased. She just wanted to throw Mrs. Livingstone out!
Why did her family have such a foolish niece-in-law?
She restrained Nora just for a little trick. Later, when she liked Nora, she helped her to make amends and protect her image.
However, Mrs. Livingstone was determined to ruin this marriage.
Old Mrs. Huntâs blood was boiling. She felt she had suppressed her granddaughter-in-law for the sake of her maiden family. But what had her maiden family done?
Not to mention that Nora was the best candidate to be the Huntâs daughter-in-law, if she ruined this marriage, how could she still have the nerve to stay with the Hunts?
At that moment, Elder Mrs. Hunt suddenly felt a little disappointed.
For many years, she had been working hard for her family.
The Livingstones had long been in dire straits. If it werenât for her, the Livingstones would probably have been eliminated from the top tier of wealthy families.
She had done so much for her maternal family. And what did she get in the end?
Elderly Mrs. Hunt was furious.
Unable to shut Mrs. Livingstoneâs mouth, she could only look at Justin and wonder at the same time.
What was wrong with her grandson today?
She knew how much he cared about Nora. But why was she suddenly not sticking up for the Smiths today?
Hushed discussions filled the entire banquet hall.
âOh dear, isnât Mr. Hunt planning to marry the Smiths?â
âThen why is he being so polite to Mr. Smith! It canât be an apology, can it?â
âMiss Smith is so pitiful. Sheâs not even married yet, but sheâs already fighting for the favor of othersâ¦â
âWhose daughter is she? How can she seduce Mr. Hunt? Hasnât Mr. Hunt been pure of heart for so many years? When we were young, we even said he didnât go near women! It was said that he was disgusted by women touching him? Why are there so many women now!â
As the crowd argued, Justin closed his eyes.
He had already achieved his goal.
After all, Elder Mrs. Hunt was his grandmother. However, because of Thomas, she was very unhappy with Nora and had even caused a lot of trouble privately.
She knew she had to let Elder Mrs. Hunt see her familyâs true colors.
After all, this was the grandmother who had raised him. He couldnât throw her out when she was older. Besides, she had given her heart to Pete before.
Therefore, when Elder Lord Hunt first spoke up, he didnât stop her and even added fuel to the fire. He did it so that Mrs. Livingstone would reveal her true nature.
Now, the old lady must be very unhappy with Mrs. Livingstone, mustnât she?
Only then Justin slowly said, âMrs. Livingstone has not only heard of the Smithâs eldest daughter, but she has also seen her, hasnât she?â.
All: â?â
Everyone was puzzled, not understanding what he was saying.
Mrs. Livingstone was flabbergasted. âThe Smiths? What Smiths?â
At the mention of the Smiths, everyone only thought of the Smiths in New York, but was there another wealthy Smith family?
Justin narrowed his eyes and scoffed before looking at Elder Mrs. Hunt.
By that time, Elder Mrs. Hunt had already reacted. She looked at Justin in surprise and felt stunned, could it be�
âHahaha!â Ianâs resounding laughter suddenly spread throughout the banquet hall. Then he patted Justinâs shoulder. âTriplets! So Nora gave birth to triplets back then!â
He lifted his head proudly. âThree at once. My daughter is so amazing!â
All: â?â
The whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone erupted and discussed the topic with fervor.
âMiss Smith gave birth to three children all at once? Sheâs too lucky!â
âOh, my! So there are no illegitimate children at all. All three children were born to Miss Smith. No wonder Mr. Hunt is so polite to the Smiths.â
Elder Mrs. Hunt was also pleased and let out a sigh of relief.
Justin said, âThatâs right, Peter Hunt, Cheryl Smith and Xander Yale are Noraâs and my children.â
With that, the people around congratulated him.
âMr. Hunt, congratulations!â
âThree children, two boys and a girl. Mr. Hunt is very lucky!â
Some people congratulated Ian.
âIan, you now have three more grandchildren â congratulations! Hahaha, but youâre going to have to spend a lot of money â have you prepared three presents?â
Ian was ecstatic. âOf course. How can I not have enough presents?â.
The others had their family members go back to prepare another gift. After all, they had only prepared two.
The people around them went to work. The great-grandmother was clearly Elder Mrs. Hunt, but everyone ignored her.
No one came up to congratulate her. Everyone could see Miss Smithâs status at the Hunts in the future.
Elder Mrs. Hunt looked at Mrs. Livingstone and forced a smile. âSo itâs a misunderstanding.â
She was simply like a clown that everyone had laughed at.
She wanted to reprimand her granddaughter-in-law, but she didnât expect to elevate her status any further.
With that, she pulled Mrs. Livingstone aside. âCome with me!â
The two walked out of the foyer and into the parlor next door. As soon as they entered, Elder Mrs. Hunt turned and slapped Mrs. Livingstone.
Pa!
Then she shouted angrily, âWhat did you mean before? Youâve made things very difficult for me.â
Mrs. Livingstone covered her face and her eyes averted before she sighed. âAuntie, Iâm doing it for her sake. That little hussy hasnât married yet, but you already donât respect her, what will happen if she marries in the future?â
Elder Mrs. Hunt was furious and her heart turned cold. âYou donât have to make excuses. You only wanted to interfere with that marriage.â
Mrs. Livingstone pursed her lips and whispered, âDid I not fail in the end?â
She had admitted it herself, and this made Elder Mrs. Huntâs eyes turn cold.
She said coldly, âI am Justinâs grandmother. He wonât do anything to me. Who do you think you are, do you really dare to publicly slander the Smiths?â
Mrs. Livingstone covered her face and said, âAunt, I am his niece-in-law. You have to put up with it for my sake, donât you, what can you do to me?â
Her expression of disdain stabbed Ancaian Mrs. Hunt like a needle.
At that moment, however, the door suddenly opened. Then, a Livingstone person rushed in with a nervous expression.
