Chapter 784



.

Nora hurried to drive back home. After getting out of the car hugging the company’s project books, she headed straight to the study room.

After putting the books down on the table, she picked up her phone and looked around before calling Justin.

It was the first time she had taken the initiative to look for him since the incident.

However, when she dialed the number, the automatic tone reminded her, “The number you have dialed is unreachable.”

That made sense. The phone had been destroyed in the explosion. After all, Justin’s belongings had been found next to the body.

Therefore, it stood to reason that she couldn’t find him on the other end of the line.

Nora couldn’t help but start thinking again-where did Justin go?

Just as her thoughts were spinning out of control, the door was pushed open. Next, the heads of the three little ones appeared in the doorway. Cherry blinked her big eyes and said in a childish voice, “Mommy, are you thinking about Daddy?”

“… I guess,” Nora replied.

Hearing this, Pete said, “Mommy, didn’t you say Daddy had something to do? He’ll be back soon.”

Nora held her chin. “But there’s a lot of work. My head hurts, too.”

Xander immediately arched his neck to take a look around and said, “Is there a lot of work? It would be nice if someone could help you share the load.”

Cherry immediately said, “Mommy, let Pete and Xander help you!”.

Xander took the opportunity to say, “Yes, let Pete help you!”.

Pete and Cherry looked at him at the same time, their identical faces full of confusion.

“Why Pete?”

“Why me?”

Xander then scoffed. “Of course it’s because the Hunt Corporation will be yours in the future. Don’t think I don’t understand. The tyrant isn’t coming back. Mommy’s helping you work. So, you must be the one to do it!”

Pete: “!!!”

Cherry, however, was still nodding her head vigorously. “Xander, you’re right!”

“…”

Xander patted Pete’s shoulder. “Come on, don’t be afraid. It’s just like your Math Olympiad questions.”

How could these business questions be the same as the Math Olympiad!

Were they as hard as the Math Olympiad?

Pete gave Xander a disdainful look before walking silently to Nora’s side. “Mommy, I’ll do it.”

Nora: “?!”

She was already stunned by the three kids’ conversation.

What on earth was this?

Were they really only five years old? After improving their intelligence and genes, could they be that spectacular?

Pete climbed into the chair. His little hand grabbed the first draft and opened it to read it.

Nora couldn’t help but ask, “Pete, do you understand?”

Pete nodded. “Yes. Actually, Dad let me look at these often in the past. They’re just too simple and boring. I still like dealing with Math Olympiad problems better.”

“…”

Nora recalled. She had once asked Justin what Pete was good at. Justin’s words were, “He’s a business genius!”

Now, she finally understood what that meant!

He grimaced, then decided to get up and hand him his desk.

Pete counted off the projects. “Mommy, you should go get some rest first. It will probably take me six to seven hours to finish reading them.”

Faced with such an impressive and crazy son, Nora felt she had to get used to him.

She sat down on the couch next to him.

Cherry and Xander sat obediently beside her.

This was the scene that Elder Mrs. Hunt saw when she entered.

Her little great-grandson was reading some papers.

The woman sat down on the couch and devoted her time to Cherry and Xander. The scene was simply tragic.

Elderly Mrs. Hunt’s expression changed as she asked, “Why did you fire Mr. Livingstone?”

Nora replied, “Did he complain to you?”.

Mrs. Hunt frowned. “Mr. Livingstone is the best manager in New York. You don’t know anything about business. If you fire Mr. Livingstone, what are you going to do next?”

Nora closed her eyes. “Don’t worry. The company is fine.”

“It’s fine? Why did I hear Howard had a fight with you? Howard is spreading the news that you won’t let him leave the gold reserves. He’s even said the company will lose $50 million after you’ve taken over! Even though the Hunt Corporation doesn’t care about the $50 million, if word gets out that you act like this one day after taking over, they’ll just say you’re incapable!”

Since Elder Mrs. Hunt temporarily reconciled with her, Nora knew that she was really doing it for the Hunts.

After Justin’s funeral, this old lady had visibly lost some weight.

Because she was so sad, Nora could not bear to argue with her any longer. She told her, “Don’t worry. I have information from a reliable source. The price of gold will go up.”

Elder Mrs. Hunt frowned, not trusting her. “What source?”

King’s existence could not be revealed to the outside world.

Therefore, Nora could only say, “A friend.”

“A friend?”

Elder Mrs. Hunt sighed. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that if you had sources like that, you would have made money long ago, wouldn’t you?”

Nora: “…”

She only cared about sleeping and didn’t take the opportunity to make money.

The corners of her mouth twitched. Just as she was about to speak, Elder Mrs. Hunt said again, “Is your friend really legit? Don’t be fooled. There are many traders in this industry. This time they have invested 80 million, it’s not a small sum!”.

Nora said calmly, “Don’t worry. It’s trustworthy.”

Elderly Mrs. Hunt still did not believe her.

Mr. Livingstone, who was behind Elder Mrs. Hunt, said, “Miss Smith, I know you want to establish your power, so you are anxious, but I have a lot of information here. The gold market has been very turbulent lately. In fact, it’s not good. Fighting Howard with the gold market like this is like playing with a knife in a sea of fire. It’s too dangerous. I suggest you listen to Howard and dump your investment. Even if gold prices really rise later, it will still be Howard’s fault! Why are you doing this?”

Hearing this, Nora looked at him, “Your information is not very reliable.”

Mr. Livingstone was instantly furious. “Impossible! Miss Smith, you have always studied in the medical world, so perhaps you don’t understand the relationship between us businessmen. It’s all about interests. There are only interests between us. To get this information, I paid a large sum! How much did you pay? Or how much did you give?”

Nora: “???”

From her expression, I knew that Nora had given nothing.

Mr. Livingstone scoffed. “Why don’t we make a wager! If you lose, you’ll have to listen to me from now on! If you win, I’ll quit!”
