The interior of the limousine was lavishly decorated.
Only when Nora sat in it did she check that the car was extremely comfortable. The space in the center was very spacious and there was even a tray with expensive red wine and crystal glasses on it.
After getting in, the man handed her a glass of wine.
Nora arched her eyebrows and took it from him. Before she could do anything, Kelvin had picked up another wine glass and clinked it against hers, making a melodious clinking sound with the light contact.
The clink echoed through the limo.
From this action alone, Nora was assured that the man was not Justin.
Justin was not so pretentious.
The corners of his lips tightened and he set down the wine glass.
Kelvin said, âDrink and Iâll tell you who I am.â
The man had a mischievous grin on his face and was leaning forward slightly, with a haughty, powerful attitude.
With her eyes lowered, Nora looked at him.
The man looked at the wine glass, as if forcing her to drink. âDonât you want to know who I am?â
The interior of the limousine was suddenly silent.
Nora and Kelvin looked at each other, both with great momentum.
After a while, Nora suddenly said, âI know who you are.â
Her words took Kelvin by surprise.
Nora leaned back, away from him. âA person who looks like Justin must have blood relations with him. Chester and Roger look a little like him, but neither of them look as much like you, someone who looks 30% like him. Right, Kelvin? Or should I say, Calvin Hunt?â
Kelvin was just his stage name.
Many people changed their names when they entered the entertainment industry. It was a very common practice.
However, his real name was Calvin Hunt.
When Nora did a google search and discovered that Kelvin and Justin were not the same person, she had texted Howard to check his generationâs genealogy. Sure enough, he had found the name Calvin Hunt.
The Hunts would never readily reveal their genealogical information to outsiders.
After all, Nora was not married to Justin, so technically she was not yet a Hunt.
Therefore, Howard had not shown her the actual family tree, but only a chart of family relationships that he had drawn himself.
The Hunts were a century-old family, so they had many branches of lineage.
For example, even Howard and Justin did not share the same grandfather. Instead, they were descended from sibling grandparents. Therefore, Howardâs family, who lived in and cared for the family home, was known as the Huntâs of California. Howardâs grandfather was the second oldest of his siblings.
As for Calvin, he was a child in the third brotherâs line of descent.
His grandfather was the younger brother of Howard and Justinâs grandparents.
Since Howard lived in the family home, he had a slightly higher position in the family. However, people on the fringes, such as Calvin, were never held in high regard by the main branch, i.e., Justin and his immediate family.
Needless to say, Howard was so cooperative because he was at a stage where he was filled with admiration for Nora, the Big Sister of the Quinn School of Martial Arts. After all, a single sentence from her had enabled him to become Quinnâs disciple!
Through the relationship chart she drew, Nora had also figured out Calvinâs identity and status.
Although they were distant cousins, Calvin and Justinâs grandparents were said to be very much alike. Therefore, it was not surprising that Calvin and Justin looked about 30% alike.
Nora had blown Kelvinâs â or rather Calvinâs â identity wide open. Calvin was stunned for a moment. Then his eyes widened in surprise. âEveryone says my sister-in-law is as smart as she is beautiful. It seems so.â
After he spoke, he smiled again. âItâs a pity she was widowed at such a young age.â
There was hostility in his words.
When Nora realized her identity, she had asked Howard what her relationship with Justin wasâ¦Howardâs answer had been: The two were like oil and water, they were mortal enemies.
Justin was like a big brother at home. He was always on top and was the best at everything he did. Kids like him were naturally the center of attention from a young age.
In those circumstances, Justin faced two situations:
One where people looked up to him, like Howard and Chester. Those people saw Justin as an idol. However, the other was with people like Roger and Calvin, who were outraged at him.
Rogerâs outrage stemmed from his desire to fight for the Huntsâ inheritance.
As for Calvin, he was too far removed from the direct line of descent, so he didnât even have the right to fight for anything. Howard once said that, when Calvin grew up, his family had planned to send him to work for the Hunt Corporation. They had also wanted Justin to get him a good position.
But Calvin had his own pride. Without saying a word to anyone, he had moved to another city to become an actor.
The Hunts didnât want an actor in the family. After all, as Katharine Hepburn once said, âActing is the profession of a perfect idiotâ¦and not a very elegant way to make a living,â the Hunts thought very little of acting. Therefore, Calvin had adopted the industry alias Kelvin Hart and also told his family not to use the Hunt connections for his career.
Calvinâs parents had even reached out to Justin. They wanted Justin not to help him, hoping to force their son to change his mind.
Therefore, no one knew that Kelvin was a Hunt.
Because of all this, Calvin had become very hostile toward Justin.
Nora couldnât be bothered to keep talking to a rebellious kid like him. Calvin looked like he was only 25 or 26 years old. She turned around to get out of the car.
But at that moment, someone grabbed her by the shoulder.
Then, Calvinâs voice rang in her ear. âAre you leaving already, Nora? Actually, I called to ask you something. Have you heard that some men like to play with their sisters-in-law â¦?â
