Rogerâs eyes suddenly shrunk. âYou⦠Youâve hacked the banking system! Youâre breaking the law. Iâm going to sue you!â
Nora scoffed. âSue? You still have to wait for me to deal with you first, donât you?â
With that, she stood up and said impatiently, âRoger is fired from the board for compromising the company for his personal gain. Besides, the price you paid for the gold was 400, but when you sold it to the company, it had already dropped to 280. However, you still sold the gold to the company at 400. Now, you have to make up this difference. If not, I will see you in court.â
If the difference were made up, it would be over 100 million!
Although Roger âcould raise that amount of money, he still felt his heart ache.
However, if Nora sued him, it could jeopardize his retirement plans. He would have to use his money to solve this problem first!
He looked at Nora angrily. âOkay, Iâll agree to anything! But donât forget I can still sue you!â
Nora raised her eyebrows. âWhat are you going to sue me for?â scoffed Roger. âFor hacking into the banking system.â
âReally?â
Nora picked up the bank records. Her milky hand clutched the few scraps of paper and tossed them into the shredder next to her. Then, she said, âWhen have I ever done that? Instead, just now, you admitted in front of everyone that you have stolen company assets, so we can ask the bank to investigate your account nowâ¦â
Roger: â!â
He stared at Nora in disbelief. âYou! Sheâs lying, did you hear that?â
Roger looked at the other directors and saw that they had all turned their heads with expressions of not having heard anything.
Seeing their expressions, Roger instantly understood that these people were Justinâs trusted subordinates.
He could only accept this loss.
Roger clenched his fists.
He was truly speechless!
Last time, when Justin was around, he had only dismissed Rogerâs father, who was also the Hunt familyâs second son, from the board of directors. After all, Raymond had admitted his mistakes and left behind a seemingly idle Roger.
Now, Roger had also been ousted.
Throughout the company, even the flies that Justin had hated were gone in the end.
This issue spread quickly in the circle.

On the first floor of the Hunt Corporation.
Joel had just arrived when he received a call from his secretary. After informing her of the news, he immediately smiled bitterly and looked at Tanya. âAll right, weâve come for nothing. Letâs go back.â
Tanya was stunned and asked what was wrong. When she heard Joelâs words, she said, âNora has her own connections. The person she is talking about is probably her aunt. Her aunt is also an important figure in Switzerland. Even the aristocrats in Switzerland have to respect her aunt. How can Nora have bad friends?â.
Joel nodded. âYes, Iâm thinking too much. Besides, Nora will get even better in the future because sheâs about to get the best source of information in the world.â
Tanya: â?â
She looked at Joel in confusion. âWhat do you mean?â
Joel smiled. âItâs nothing.â
He turned the car around and was about to leave the Hunt Corporation when he suddenly saw Logan drive off in a sports car. Joel laughed instantly. âLooks like weâre not the only ones who care about Nora!â.

In the Andersonsâ car.
On the way, Simon urged the driver to drive faster.
Off to the side, Melissa sulked with a cold expression.
Simon said, âAll right, wife, donât be angry. I know you are not a mean person. Letâs treat this money as a loan to Nora, okay?â.
Melissa instantly became even angrier.
When she had said those words at home, Simon had thought she was reluctant to hand over the money and had even expressed understanding. However, the more he said, the angrier she became.
Was he the type of person who only cared about his family and not Nora?
She said angrily, âAm I that kind of person to you?â
Simon understood. âNo, honey. If giving away the money wasnât the problem, then why did you say we didnât have to come?â
Melissa was really furious. She looked at the sullen man in front of her and finally sighed. âYou, you seriously⦠I mean Nora probably doesnât need our help!â
Simon lowered his head. âI know. The Smiths are stronger than us, but weâre family, after all. We have to helpâ¦â
Melissa: â!!!â
Melissa angrily pulled out her phone. When she realized it was nine oâclock, she opened the trading app. When she saw the price of gold, she threw the phone at it. âLook for yourself!â
Simon: ââ¦â
For the next half month, Simon slept on the couch.

People worried about Nora came and went. However, Nora, who was upstairs, did not know that these people had been there.
This did not stop her from working.
The work Pete did was very good and many projects were approved. Nora was only in charge of handing those things to Celine before going to Justinâs office to sit down.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Nora looked up and saw Celine walking in.
She lowered her head and twisted her fingers. As if she had done something wrong, she continued, âPresident Smith, Iâm sorry. I just got in touch with Lawrence. He told me that he has gone off on his own and that it has nothing to do with you.â
When Nora heard that she had contacted Lawrence, she asked in surprise, âWhere is he?â
Celine replied, âHe said he is taking a break in Switzerland. He asked me not to tell anyone.â
Nora: â!!!â
It looked like Justin had really gone to Switzerland.
But why couldnât he tell her?
She frowned, disgruntled.
While she was deep in thought, Celine suddenly said, âPresident Smith, I have something to tell you. The person close to you who had told me about the firingâ¦â.
Noraâs eyes narrowed. She looked at Celine. âWho was it?â
Celine bit her lip and finally said a name. âJoel!â
Nora: â?â
Joel?
How could that be true?
