Iris glared at Lauren and said, âThis doesnât mean Nora has a boyfriend!â.
Lauren smiled and said, âJustin canât possibly be in, can he? Heâs overseas and has been gone for two days. Iâve been watching her. When she goes out every day, her face is abnormally flushed! Why? Sheâs been pure of heart for so many years, donât you even know the basics?â
Irisâs face turned red.
Elder Lady Huntâs fingers trembled with anger.
She pointed at the door. âThis woman, how can she treat Justin like this! How can she, whereâs Justin? I will call him immediately, how dare she deceive him!â
With that, Elder Mrs. Hunt pulled out her phone and prepared to call Justin.
However, before she could press his hand, Iris grabbed it and yelled, âMom!â
After shouting this, she bit her lip and finally hardened her heart. âMom, Justin is really busy right now, letâs not bother him! Besides, what if he finds out, can he still cut ties with the Smiths?â
Elder Mrs. Hunt was stunned.
Iris decided to set the record straight. âAre you on Hermanâs side?â
Elder Mrs. Hunt hesitated.
She had watched both her son and grandson grow up.
Besides, her grandson was actually better suited to take charge of the Hunts than her son. Although she had helped her son clarify the will that day, it was still the will left by the Elder Master.
In her heart, she really didnât like Laurenâs behavior. Moreover, as a woman, she also felt contempt for her son for abandoning his wife.
Elder Mistress Hunt had always been haughty and powerful. In the past, she disliked Nora because she had been raised in the country. He was afraid that she was petty like someone from a small house and not suited to the Hunt status.
Now he understood.
Justin was full of internal and external problems.
Herman was watching him from the inside, while Philip was attacking him from the outside. By now, his grandson had already gone overseas to prepare the funds. If he knew about Nora, would he cut ties with the Smiths? Or would he tolerate it?
If he cut ties with the Smiths, he would have no power to compete!
But to tolerate it?
How sad would a proud person like her grandson be!
Elder Mrs. Huntâs eyes turned red with anger. Her whole body trembled as she pointed at the villa. âThen here, hereâ¦â
Lauren tried to persuade her. âMom, come in and take a look. What if weâve misunderstood Miss Smith? Besides, with her behavior, sheâs not fit to be our Huntâs daughter-in-law! Letâs go in and catch the adulteress.â
Iris sighed. âThere are still the three childrenâ¦â
Three childrenâ¦
When she thought of Pete and Cherryâs innocence and tenderness, Elder Mrs. Huntâs heart softened even more.
She took a deep breath and stifled it. She ordered the chauffeur, âTake us home!â.
Lauren was outraged and continued to insist, âMom, isnât this inappropriate? How can our Hunts suffer like this? Letâs go in and take a look.â
Ancana Mrs. Hunt glared at Lauren and turned to get into the car. After getting into the car, she saw that Lauren still looked indignant. She gritted her teeth and said, âGet in!â.
With that, her gaze settled back on the villa.
Lauren didnât dare disobey her. She could only follow Iris into the car.
Lauren was still fuming. âMom, are we going to let him do it? Then weâre being wronged. Is our family going to be bullied like this?â
After starting the car, the more the old lady thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She said, âItâs okay. Wait until Justin goes through this. With his personality, Iâm sure he wonât tolerate it.â
Lauren rolled her eyes â was she still going to get through this?
Herman was also full of confidence and planned to wait for Justin to personally deliver the Hunt power to him!
The car pulled up to the Hunt Mansion very quickly.
After getting out of the car, Iris made her way to Justinâs villa in concern. Lauren looked around and followed her. She saw the butler holding a photo and saying something to Irisâ¦.
Coincidentally, the photo was seen by Lauren. It was a picture of Nora entering the villa.
She walked over and heard Iris say, âKeep the story from circulating. Give that reporter more money and tell her not to write nonsense.â
âYes.â
The butler came out. Iris turned and saw Lauren.
Lauren smiled sarcastically. âWhy, are you still helping your daughter-in-law hide the truth? Justin is really promising! Are you planning to live off your wife after youâve been kicked out of the house?â
Iris frowned and stared at her. âItâs still uncertain whoâs going to get kicked out. Donât get your hopes up.â
Iris turned around and walked into the villa.
As soon as she entered the villa, the worry on Irisâs face disappeared. She looked out the door and saw Lauren turn around and walk off into the distance. Then, she pulled out her phone and texted Nora. âAlready done.â
They were following her, and they werenât experts. After all, the people Lauren hired were all unprofessional. If Nora was being followed by a person like Morris, it would be hard to spot. However, in front of an ordinary person, how could she not notice?
He couldnât be bothered to take a detour and brush them off to avoid being misinterpreted by Lauren and the others. So, he simply headed for the suburban village.
No one would have thought that the man inside the villa was Justin anyway.
After all, Justinâs personality was so dominant that it was impossible for him to do something like that.
After a few days, Lauren showed up and called both Iris and Elder Mrs. Hunt to catch the couple.
Iris decided to play along.
Of course, Elder Mrs. Hunt and the others were unable to get into the villa. Even if Iris had not persuaded Elder Mrs. Hunt to leave, she would not have been able to enter.
Now⦠Lauren and the others would probably relax even more!
She was right.
When Lauren returned home, she went straight to Herman and informed him. âJustin is definitely at the end of his rope! Otherwise, Nora wouldnât dare do this so openly. The Smiths must have thought she has no chance of winning, thatâs why they dared to do something like this. Tsk, at the critical moment, even his fiancée betrayed him!â
Herman didnât like seeing her smug face. He sneered. âHeh, she dares to betray Justin now. Letâs see what sheâll do when her familyâs assets are turned over to Justin.â
As soon as he said this, Lauren said, âShe might not even want anything! Besides, why does she have to give him everything back?â.
Herman glared at her. âWho else can I give it to besides my son? After all, itâs all your fault for being useless! You couldnât even give me a son all these years!â
Lauren was instantly speechless.
Did Herman hate Justin?
Not necessarily.
After all, how could there be a father who felt nothing for his son?
Back then, he had chosen to take a different path and his son felt he was wrong and even criticized him. Now, Herman wanted to prove him wrong.
He wanted him to see how difficult it was to deal with Philip. He wanted him to experience failure and pressure as well as to understand his decision at the time.
As for Irisâ¦he would have no choice but to hand her over to Philip.
At this thought, Herman lifted the document again.
Lauren suddenly arrived at his side. As she massaged his shoulder, she said, âHerman, I still think something is wrong. Justin has been running the family for many years, so how could he say no? Besides, he gave you by giving you 5% of the stock. Isnât he digging his own grave?â
Herman scoffed. âHeâs too young and thinks that even without that 5%, there are still shareholders he can trust. But he doesnât know that no one will stand with him in the face of profits! This time, Iâve given up so much profit to win the support of those old men. Heh, Iâm going to teach him a lesson for messing with Philip and let him know that thereâs always heaven beyond heaven.â
When Lauren heard this, she let out a sigh of relief. Then, she revealed an excited, smug expression.
The board meeting would be held the day after tomorrow. At that time, Justin would resign, and she would completely suppress Iris.
The winner was king, and everyone else was the loser. When the time came, she would just be Madame Hunt. No one would remember that she was a mistress.
