Chapter 733



Her emotionless sentence puzzled Lauren for a moment.

But right after, she recovered – how could Nora have any proof?

If she did, she would have presented it by now as soon as Roger arrived. Surely she was being stubborn to say something like that now.

Besides, the two of them had only chatted a little with each other. Those outside hadn’t heard them, so how could she have any proof?

Lauren snorted, “What kind of proof can you have?”

Nora raised her eyebrows. Suddenly, she pulled out her phone and played a video: it was a conversation between Lionel and Greg!

Plus.

Not only did it include their conversation just now, but also what Pete had overheard them saying in the bathroom that day!

When they were coming in, Pete had been concerned that they would deny the allegations, so he had passed the recording to Nora.

After they arrived, Nora had deliberately positioned herself behind the two of them and had listened to their conversation for a long time before she finally went ahead, just so she could get the evidence.

How was it possible that Pete and Nora didn’t have a plan B?

As for why she hadn’t said anything now?

Nora had been waiting for Lauren to come and confront Iris. By presenting the evidence at this point, she was slapping Lauren in the face!

The recording finished playing. Nora had especially deleted the part where the two of them called Iris a slut; after all, the fact that they had badmouthed their little teachers was enough.

There was no need to publicly mock the older ones.

There was now solid proof that Greg and Lionel were talking about their bosses behind their backs. Moreover, they had even said such nasty things about them. Their outcome was now a foregone conclusion.

Lauren’s expression changed immediately after the recording finished playing.

She frowned. Then she immediately changed her tone. “Ms. Smith, if you had proof of what they did, why didn’t you produce it sooner? By doing so, aren’t you causing misunderstandings between us?”

Nora didn’t need to answer him, because Iris had already done that for her. Iris said, “Tsk, if she had played it before, then how would we have seen that side of you just now? Lauren, you covet the rights of the House of Hunt, but you can’t even tell right from wrong. How can the rights of the House of Hunt be given to you! You’d better keep Herman happy.”

Lauren: “!!!”

Her face alternated between being pale as a sheet and red as a tomato. In particular, Iris lecturing her from a superior position was particularly unbearable to her.

She was a mistress turned illegal wife, so her status in the family was low from the start. And now, she had been completely shamed by someone else.

She clenched her fists in anger.

On the other side, Roger immediately said, “Tsk, look at you, Nora. If you had presented the evidence earlier, I would have taken care of these two people right away. Okay, since there’s evidence, rest assured that I’ll throw them out of the house. Besides, no one will dare to hire them ever again!”

After saying this, Roger kicked the two men in the butt and said, “Get out!”.

He took the two men with him and slunk away with his tail between his legs.

Only when he got out of the garden did he stop. After getting someone to take Greg and Lionel away, he looked upstairs.

Where Justin’s study was, despite the curtains blocking the view, he could see a tall, slender figure standing there.

A sharp look flashed in Roger’s eyes.

The person standing next to him asked, “Mr. Roger, what are you looking at?”

Roger scoffed, “I’m looking at that man and wondering why he’s so lucky to find such a smart wife!”.

In the garden.

When Roger left, the rest of the servants, who had noticed what had happened, dispersed and went back to their respective jobs.

For a while, only the masters of the house remained in the garden.

A triumphant Cherry sang Nora’s praises to Xander. “Did you see that, Mommy is the most powerful person on earth! No one can escape her clutches once she decides to fight!”

A silent Nora looked at her daughter. She was about to make a dry comment about how Cherry was probably the only one who talked about her like that when she realized Xander was looking at her with glowing eyes.

Last time, Mom had defeated those two bodyguards capable of killing even Butterscotch, and now, she’d gotten revenge for him?

Xander could only sigh and inwardly marvel: Mommy was simply too amazing!

Yet, despite his thoughts, he dared not voice them. When Nora peeked in, he immediately repressed his adoring gaze and adopted a cold expression again. She smiled and teased, “What’s the matter?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The corners of Nora’s lips curved into a smile and she said, “Keep calm and carry on.”

Xander: “?”

He looked at Cherry blankly. “What does that mean, is that an idiom?”

Cherry, however, was very familiar with internet slang and memes. The little girl shook her head and replied, “No, what mom means is that to her this is all minutiae, so just act normal and don’t be too impressed!”

Xander: “…”

Pete: “…”

As expected, only women understood other women!

While the four of them were talking to each other in hushed tones, Iris and Lauren had gotten to the point of saying stern words to each other.

Lauren glared at Iris. After her expression changed a couple of times, she finally scoffed and said, “Ha, you can’t deal with me alone, so you got yourself an assistant?”.

Iris was unfazed, “Well, at least I have someone to ask for help, What about you, what, Elder Lady didn’t help you?”

Lauren: “!”

Bringing that up was no different than sticking a knife straight through her heart.

Elder Lady Hunt valued status and family background highly. It should be known that Iris was a young model from a wealthy family, while Lauren was an ordinary person. Therefore, Elder Mrs. Hunt had already disliked her intensely back then.

This time, although Elder Mrs. Hunt had sided with Herman on the surface, privately, she was more inclined toward Justin.

At least, as far as house rights were concerned, Elder Mrs. Hunt had not caused any trouble this time.

Of course, this also showed that Nora and Justin’s efforts some time ago had not been in vain. The old lady did understand some things now and had become more reasonable.

Lauren balled her fingers in anger. A while later, however, she loosened them. She said directly to Iris, “Yes, I may not be valued, but no matter how little I am valued, at least I won’t hold Herman back. But I can’t say the same for you, can I? You’re a bitch with annoying debts all over the place – you’re the one who’s brought the Hunts to a point where father and son have turned against each other!

Iris, if I were you, I’d be ashamed to even stay at Hunt Manor. How is it that you have the nerve to do that?”

Her words caused Iris to choke. Nora, however, immediately responded, “Tsk, Lauren, we’re all women here, why are you blaming the victim? Is Aunt Iris to blame just because she’s beautiful? While you’re right because your looks are average? What kind of reasoning is that?”

“You…!”

Lauren stretched out her finger and pointed at Nora angrily. But even after a while, she still couldn’t find anything to refute her. Therefore, she could only shout, “Wait! The Hunts will be Herman’s sooner or later, and when that happens, you will all be thrown out of the house. And you, make the most of your last moments with your son! Philip has already called Herman last night, the two of them are planning to join forces! Let’s see what the outcome will be in the end!”

He left immediately after saying that.

Above.

Inside Justin’s study.

The corners of Justin’s lips curved into a smile as he watched Nora defend her mother and publicly slap Lauren for her.

It would be too low of him to interfere in the affairs of the household. It was better that she let the women sort out their own affairs.

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.

When he answered it, Philip’s voice came from the other end, “Young man, do you admit your mistakes?”

Justin raised his eyebrows and sat down on the couch. His voice was calm as he said, “No.”

Philip scoffed, “As expected, you’re really young and brash. Do you have any idea what you’re about to lose? Without money, even your lover will leave you.”

Justin replied, “He won’t.”

Philip scoffed, “He won’t? That’s because we haven’t reached that point yet. Didn’t your mother leave me then precisely because she thought I was poor?”.

Justin suddenly said, “No, it was because you weren’t worthy of her trust.”

If you hid the fact that you were rich and continued to test your girlfriend instead of helping her even in her most desperate time of need….

People like that deserved to lose their girlfriend.

Philip paused. Then he said ominously, “All right, you’ve completely offended me! Young man, do you know the consequences of that?”.

Justin raised his eyebrows.

Of course he did. The consequences were that Philip had lost $45 billion, Of course!

Before he could speak, Philip spoke again. “Do you know who you’ve offended or not?”

Justin leaned back lazily. “Well, no, I really don’t.”

His belittling tone made Philip choke. Shortly thereafter, he finally asked, “… Do you know the Imperial League?”
