Chapter 735



Hearing that familiar voice, Xander’s pupils shrank greatly. However, a sense of longing suddenly welled up in him, and he said into the phone, “Dad, I miss you.”

Even if there really were problems with the way Trueman taught Xander, Xander had been educated by him for the past five years.

At Hunt Manor, Xander had to put up with many people’s negative attitudes toward him. Only with Trueman was he the only person he cared about.

As soon as he said that, Trueman scoffed and said, “You miss me? Then why don’t you come back? I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up.” Xander paused.

Seeing his reaction, Trueman said, “See, I knew you wouldn’t come back when you met your real parents! Even though you say you miss me, your actions say otherwise, because you’ve already integrated into their family, haven’t you?”

Xander lowered his head. “Dad, I won’t forget you.”

But he wasn’t going back there anymore.

From the moment he’d left the basement, he’d never wanted to go back. Besides, he’d only ever thought about going back before because of the animals.

However, Trueman, surprisingly, had sent them all to him.

This relieved Xander of his last scruples.

However, Trueman did not force him to return. He merely asked, “Did you change your last name?”

Xander replied, “No.”

“Tsk, considering Justin Hunt’s personality, would I tolerate you having Yale as a last name? After all, I’m a villain in his eyes. It won’t make you much better of a person if your last name is Yale too!”

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․çоm, where stories thrive Xander wanted to explain on Justin’s behalf, but in the end said nothing.

By then, Trueman had already changed the subject. He asked, “How’s your mother?”

Xander didn’t understand his question, so he replied, “She’s fine. What about her?”

“… Nothing.”

Trueman wanted to say more, but someone suddenly knocked on the door: it was Cherry. She shouted, “Xander, come out! It’s time to eat~! Today’s food smells really delicious! They’ve prepared your favorite chicken thighs~”

Hearing this, Xander said to the person on the other end of the call, “Dad, I’m going to eat!”.

After saying that, he hung up right away, opened the door and ran out.

In another country. Into a dark room somewhere.

As Trueman listened to the disconnect tone on his phone, he muttered, “That brat, how dare he hang up on me? He’s so ruthless.”

Then Caleb’s friendly voice was heard. “It’s not like I treat him well either. Now that he’s found his real parents, he sure as hell isn’t coming back.”

Trueman’s voice rose instantly. “How could I not treat him right? I was even the one who saved his life.”

Caleb sighed. “Yeah, okay, you saved him…but after that, you locked him in the basement. Of course he’s going to be more comfortable there. He needs to lead a normal life too.”

“Ha.”

Said Trueman sulkily, “Looks like your cough has really subsided!”.

Caleb nodded. “Yes, it got much better after taking the medicine. At least I won’t have to suffer for the next three months. I probably won’t have to suffer before I leave for good either.”

“How unlucky you are!”

After the family of six ate, Cherry, Pete and Xander played together in the living room. The three little ones were not in the habit of napping, but watching them made Nora sleepy.

Nora, who was staying so she could spend more time with Xander, leaned back on the couch and watched them. At the same time, she pondered where her mother would probably put the V16.

At that moment, Justin sat down next to him and sighed. “Xander is still a little distant from us. We’ll have to spend a lot of time with him to improve that.”

Nora nodded. “Yeah.”

Justin looked at her eagerly. “So, why don’t you move in and stay here for now?”.

Nora: “?”

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Justin.

Justin immediately made a vow. “I really mean it for the sake of the kids. Don’t worry, I won’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts about you!”

His attitude, which openly revealed everything he wanted to hide, simply left Nora speechless.

The corners of her lips tightened. When she looked back at the children, she saw Cherry, Pete and Xander staring at her, as if waiting for her response.

Nora pretended to consider the suggestion.

Pete, “How come other kids’ parents can live together, but ours can’t? Geez, we really must be the lamest kids in the world!”.

Xander asked, “Should everyone’s parents live together? Wouldn’t it be too complicated for them to sleep in the same bed?”

Pete hastily interrupted Xander. He said, “But it’s hot when they’re cramped together. I like to sleep with everyone snuggled together.”

After the three children spoke, they continued to look at Nora eagerly.

Nora: “…”

She averted her gaze, seeing Justin looking at her as well. So, she could only look away again, but when she did, she saw that even Iris was watching her from the stairs as if she was spying on them.

Nora let out a quiet sigh and said, “Never mind, I’ll stay here for tonight then!”.

“Yes!”

“That’s great!”

“Mom, sleep with us tonight!”

Cherry wiggled and danced excitedly. Although Pete and Xander said nothing, both boys’ eyes had lit up. It was obvious that they too were overjoyed.

Justin’s lips curved into a smile as well.

At that moment, Lawrence entered the room. Seeing Justin, he said respectfully, “Chief, Mr. Hunt has just proposed holding a board meeting, so that they can re-elect the President of the Hunt Corporation.”

Justin grimaced as he heard Lawrence. Suddenly, he asked, “So you’ve made sure you have 50% of the total shares?”

Herman only owned 5% of the company’s stock. He had also bought some in the last few days at a high price, almost spending all the money he had earned overseas.

Raymond and his family had also expressed their full support for him. With the addition of a few other stockholders as well….

Lawrence smiled, “He’s been going around the last few days, so it’s likely he’s convinced some of them to side with him. On his instructions, our guys have also agreed to support him, so he’s got a lot of confidence now. Plus, he’s also been going around telling everyone that the Hunt Corporation is a place only his words can reach…”

Justin scoffed, “Then let’s see on that day how many people actually support him!”.

Lawrence nodded. Then, he said, “However, it looks like he got a call from Philip today. Philip has clearly expressed his support for him, and has also given him 5% of the shares of the company he owns…”

Lawrence had a smile on his face as he said this.

Justin nodded.

When Lawrence finished reporting all the work issues, he left right away.

Nora rolled her eyes and immediately understood everything when she saw the interaction of the two men.

She knew it, there was no way that guy was going to allow himself to get caught in a disadvantageous situation. He definitely had a plan B lurking!

To measure and evaluate which of the Hunts were disloyal, he was using the 5% stock as bait so he could wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

He sure knew how to go with the flow. At first glance, it looked like he was caught in a sticky situation, but in reality, it was all a trap he had set!

Justin understood right away when he saw the way she was looking at him. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry about me. You might as well tell Uncle Ian not to waste the money, I know what I’m doing! You don’t have to worry, this situation will be resolved soon enough. After all, if the Hunt’s get involved in too big a mess, Uncle Ian won’t let you marry me.”

I was dealing with the Hunt Corporation, as well as the Hunts themselves, all to separate and clean up the unnecessary and superfluous!

Since there was garbage to be cleaned up among the Hunts, that was what he would do. In this way, he could also provide Nora, the sloth, with a haven in which to sleep peacefully.

Nora curved her lips in disdain. Suddenly, she said, “The way I see it, you’re the one who stands to gain the most from all this!”

Justin laughed. He was about to admit it when Nora corrected herself and said, “No, the one who benefits the most is King! He sure is cunning and roguish.”

After all, he had made $45 billion out of nothing!

The corners of Justin’s lips tightened at the words ‘sly and roguish’. He cleared his throat. As he was about to speak, Nora said, “Forget it, I won’t talk behind his back again. After all, I still have favors to ask him.”

Did she have favors to ask King for?

Justin frowned. Suddenly, he turned Nora’s shoulders to face him and asked, “What favor do you need from King?”
