Nora knew that if the news of Justin being poor got out, there were sure to be people who would take a swipe at him when he was down.
However, she didnât expect these dismissive little characters to be so sly and aggressive.
A little butler in charge of the Huntsâ boiler and kitchen dared to talk to his little master like that? He really was tired of living!
Nora closed her eyes.
It was cold at home, but she could only turn on the air conditioner.
However, she was not in good health. Therefore, in her house there had to be a heater in winter.
In addition, she did not like to wear a shirt that was too thick. It was uncomfortable for her to move around like that, especially when she worked in the lab. Wearing too thick a shirt would affect his work.
So he stepped forward and asked, âWhatâs wrong with the heating?â
Upon hearing this, the manager immediately said in a sarcastic tone, âMiss Smith, even if I tell you whatâs wrong with it, what can you do? You should wait for the maintenance company to come. Besides, what you should be concerned about now is helping Mr. Hunt raise more money. Why are you making things difficult for a little caretaker like me, donât you think?â
The manager spoke in a way that shifted all responsibility away from him.
Nora narrowed her eyes and sneered. âWhatâs your name?â
âFelix.â The attendant said his name directly. âWhy, is Miss Smith firing me? But I havenât made any mistakes. Iâm not like the two garden cleaners you fired earlier, where you put them on the spot.â Nora couldnât be bothered to speak. She said, âYes, Iâll remember you.â
It was a casual phrase, but it made Felix feel a shiver. He stared at Nora and felt he was scaring himself to no avail.
Justin was about to be expelled from the Hunts, what could Miss Smith do to him?
He straightened his back. âIâm a nobody, why would Miss Smith remember me?â
âYouâre a nobody.â
Iris was furious. âRight now, no one else dares to casually look for trouble. Everyone is waiting for tomorrowâs conclusion. Youâre the only one trying to stand out. hehe! Youâre really good at taking advantage of opportunities.â
Felixâs thoughts were seen by her, and his face reddened.
He had been here for many years. He was one of Elder Mrs. Huntâs employees, but he had always worked in the kitchen. This job was idle and had no way to grow. He was really upset.
Later, he wanted to ask Mr. Hunt often to transfer him to other places, but Mr. Hunt ignored him. When he went to find the manager, the manager told him that he was too calculating and not loyal enough. Mr. Hunt did not want to put him in an important position.
How could he not be loyal?
If he wasnât loyal, he would have stopped working for the Hunts a long time ago, okay? The Hunts only offered a higher salary than the othersâ¦
So I wasnât willing to accept it. I also wanted to be a manager.
A lot of outside people wanted to do business with the Hunts, and they were very respectful of administrators going out and doing things.
So, I had to take advantage of the opportunity.
This time, Justin clearly wasnât going to get to win. As for Lauren, she was bossing the others around at home. They all agreed with her on the surface, but were opposed on the inside. Only he stepped up willingly.
He wanted to be the first person in front of Lauren.
When Mr. Herman became the head of the Hunts, Justin and his family would be marginalized. At that point, wouldnât Lauren be the one in charge of the house?
So, now I was listening to Lauren.
Wasnât she pressuring these people to see if they would resist?
It was too easy to do something so simple.
Felix pulled himself together and said with a smile, âMrs. Iris, I donât understand what you mean. Iâm just doing my job. Very well, if thereâs nothing more to say, Iâll get back to work.â
With that, he left.
Looking behind her, Nora narrowed her eyes and touched her mouth.
Beside her, Cherry whispered, âHeâs finished.â
Xander and Pete looked at her. âWhatâs wrong?â
Cherry: âWhen Mom wipes her mouth, it means sheâs very angry. The consequences will be serious.â
Xander and Pete: â?â
They both raised their heads and looked at Nora. However, they sensed that this woman really seemed to be releasing a murderous aura right now.
The two little ones shuddered in unison.
At that moment, Brenda twisted at the waist and walked in. As soon as she walked in and saw Nora, her eyes instantly lit up. She walked straight up to her and held her hand. âWhy did I hear my mother say that you have a handsome boy for a lover?â
Nora: â?â
Brenda was a daughter of the third family. The third family had always been the faction that supported Justin, plus since Brenda and Justin had a good relationship, Justin had always taken good care of the third family.
Brenda said, âWhen my parents found out about this, they couldnât sit still. Theyâve always been in Justinâs faction. Now, theyâre being pushed at home.â
Brenda pursed her lips. âNora, is Justin really finished? If heâs finished, let me know. Iâll also let my parents be indecisive for the first time. I donât want them to bear the consequences of Justin if he fails. If he fails, it will be hard for them to move on at the Hunts.â
With that, she sighed again. âWhat do you think Herman is thinking, why does he have to fight with Justin? He and his mistress donât have a son. Wonât the Huntâs still belong to Justin in the future? I really donât understand. However, Nora, is your pretty boy even more handsome than Justin?â
Nora: ââ¦â
Was something wrong with this woman?
Brenda grimaced and walked in, only to discover the problem immediately. âWhy is it so cold in here, whereâs the heat?â
Cherry then complained, âFelix wouldnât let us use the heat. He said he wanted us to line up.â
âLine up? Damn it!â
Brenda was furious. âIâm going to see whatâs going on!!! A servant really bullied his master!â
With that, she turned and walked away.
Cherry, Pete and Xander waved at her, and the three children followed behind Brenda obediently.
As soon as they advanced , they saw Brenda kick Felix away.
Boom!
Felix fell to the ground in pain. There was snow on the ground, but the temperature was very high. The snow was melting and, with his fall, his clothes were stained with mud.
Felix said in exasperation, âMiss Brenda, what are you doing?â
âIâll give you ten minutes to turn on the heat for my little nephews. Otherwise, hehe. Donât act like my brother has been kicked out. Even if he gets kicked out, Iâll beat the crap out of you until youâre half crippled. You think Hermanâs going to complain to me?â
Nora was Justinâs fiancée. If Nora beat him, Herman would definitely complain about it. But if it was Brendaâ¦
Even if the third branch was on Justinâs side, she was still the daughter of Hermanâs younger brother. He definitely didnât dare mess with Brenda.
Felix immediately said, âOkay, okay. Iâll make the arrangements immediately.â
With that, he quickly had someone turn on the heat in Justinâs villa.
In fact, the heating leading to Justinâs opulent villa was only separated by a sheet of metal. When the metal sheet was opened, it gradually heated up.
After opening it, Felix became angrier the more he thought about it.
So when he woke up the next morning, he turned the heating off again!
The person next to him asked him, âWhy did you turn the heat off again?â.
Felix scoffed. âToday is the company board meeting. Justin didnât come back last night. What does this mean? It means that the preparations to raise money overseas didnât go well. Otherwise, he would have returned home a long time ago. After this meeting is over today, I want Lauren to hear that her villa has gone cold by the time she returns!â
The person next to him asked, âAre you sure theyâre going to win?â
âOf course.â Felix was extremely confident and cocky. âAfter today, I wonât be a mere butler in the kitchen!â
He was the first person stood next to Lauren. He was the one supporting her, so Lauren would definitely put him in an important position!
At the same time, in the large conference room of the Hunt Corporation, all the directors were gathered. The board meeting was about to begin!
