Nora

Chapter 122:

A respectful Lawrence handed her his report.

“We discovered that when Miss Smith became pregnant back then, the Smiths once said that her pregnancy had come about inexplicably and that they did not know who her lover was. However, no one believed them and they said they were just making up an excuse to cover up their immoral conduct.”noveldrama

An unexplained pregnancy….

Justin suddenly remembered that she had asked him how she had come to have Pete. He had replied that he didn’t know and had asked her if she believed him.

She had said yes.

He had thought it was because she was so in love with him that she believed everything he said. He hadn’t expected the truth to be like that.

Justin looked down.. “Anything else?”

Lawrence shook his head.

Justin instructed, “Look into how she gave birth to twins.”

Lawrence was astonished. “Twins?”

His eyebrows drew together and he said, “We haven’t found anything like that at all! Besides, there really isn’t any information about how Miss Smith spent those five years overseas.”

Justin waved a hand at him as he said, “Continue the investigation.”

“Yes, sir.”

Justin sat down at the desk as Lawrence left. The look in his eyes was deep and unreadable as he listened to Cherry’s laughter next to him.

Truth be told, all the mysteries had been solved the moment he saw Cherry on the stream. Everything had clicked at once.

Her son’s personality change, the special situation at the hotel in California…. As well as Nora paying so much attention to him for some strange reason….

At that moment, besides the joy of realizing that he had a daughter, there was another complicated emotion in him: anger for having been deceived!

That woman was not trying to get close to him because she liked him, but really because of his child.

The discovery caused him great displeasure.

It turned out that, from the beginning to the end, it was he who had been getting excited in this relationship.

At that moment he felt a mixture of joy and sadness.

He was glad that there really were such ties between the two of them, and he was also glad that he really did have a daughter.

But at the moment of discovery, a thought had also suddenly formed in his mind: he preferred not to have discovered the truth….

He had unconsciously pretended not to know who his daughter was, and had put on a show before his son by commissioning Lawrence to investigate the matter. This was to confuse the other party and make him believe that he had not yet discovered it.

Then, knowing that he had deleted his daughter from his Facebook account, he rushed to add her back in hopes of repairing their relationship.

Then, he thought about his interactions with that woman during this recent period of time….

That woman had once said that her daughter’s father was a jerk. At the time, he had disliked her intensely and had even been a bit jealous of that supposed ‘idiot’. But it turned out that this idiot was actually himself….

He knew that his daughter was studying at Golden Sunshine Kindergarten because that woman had used his name to enroll his daughter in the school. That’s how he knew his daughter was there….

His thoughts kept thinking about this when he was quietly waiting at the Golden Sunshine International Kindergarten.

If it had been the old him, if he hadn’t met Nora and if he hadn’t interacted in depth with her enough to understand her, after stabilizing the situation with them, the first thing he would have done after seeing his daughter would have probably been to snatch her from her mother and take her home.

Her daughter, Justin Hunt’s daughter, was not to be left out in the wild.

But when she saw her daughter being harassed and reached out to back her up, her heart had softened again….

If he really did that, they would completely antagonize each other, and it would probably be impossible to deal with each other between him and that woman.

Justin looked down. His fingers tapped lightly on the desk as he tried to think of countermeasures.

The three of them didn’t want him to know the truth. This showed that they must have reached a consensus among themselves by now. Probably because they feared it would separate them from each other.

In that case, he would simply keep things as they were for now!

At least he had already brought his daughter back home.

It was a pity that he had offended his daughter when he was still unaware of what was going on. In that case, he would give her a taste of her own medicine!

He would restore his dignity as a father while his daughter was still unaware that he already knew her true identity.

Didn’t that teacher intimidate his daughter?

In that case, he would make the Lowes go bankrupt immediately!

The Lowes were already on the verge of bankruptcy due to their real estate investment anyway. He didn’t mind doing something to speed things up.

Justin looked at the computer. His fingers flew across the keyboard at high speed and he logged into the Imperial League system….

After finishing what he wanted to do, Justin picked up his cell phone and looked at the time: it was time for his daughter’s stream.

His daughter had told the Grandfather Sponsor the day before not to give him any more donations.

But if he didn’t, he definitely wouldn’t get to win today’s showdown. At times like this, he, the Grandfather Sponsor, would have to step up to the plate.

Although saving the damsel in distress was an old, cliché trick, it certainly worked well.

With that in mind, Justin got up and left the room. Sure enough, he watched his daughter secretly close the door from inside the bedroom.

The corners of his lips curved upward and he returned to the den. Then, she entered her stream.

Sweetcherry had already moved into the top forty and would move into the top twenty after today’s showdown. So, this could be considered the semi-finals. Since only the top ten would receive advertising opportunities, the top ten were considered the winners of the competition.

The further one advanced, the more difficult it would be.

The day before, she had been paired with Ika, a wealthy second-generation heir. Today, as luck would have it, Sweetcherry was paired with a large live streamer with eight million followers.

The other streamer’s fans had already given him a donation of three million dollars in virtual gifts, so it was very difficult for Sweetcherry to beat him.

Sweetcherry said quietly, “There’s really no need to fight to win this showdown! We only have less than a million fans. There’s no way we’re going to win.”

The corners of Justin’s lips curved upward.

Ordinary fans were still in short supply. In situations like this, what they were really competing for instead was the purchasing power of the big bosses who were fans.

Justin intended to wait ten minutes for the disparity in the point count of the two streams to get much larger before making his move. When that happened, Cherry would definitely be moved, just as she had been with the Grandfather Sponsor the day before….

Or so she thought. Unfortunately, instead she saw…

‘Mia has donated 9,999 airplanes to you.

‘Brandon has donated 9,999 planes to you.’

‘Seth has donated 999 aircraft to you.’

‘XXX has donated 999 airplanes to you.’

…

A row of virtual donations of airplanes appeared on the screen: they were all classmates from Cherry’s kindergarten. The children at the Sol de Oro International Kindergarten were all wealthy second-generation heirs, so there was no shortage of pocket money!

It didn’t take Cherry long to outscore her opponent by five million dollars in points.

An excited Cherry exclaimed, “Why are you all here?”.

Brandon even wrote, “I got you all here, boss. I’m cheering you on.”

Cherry nodded. “Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!!!”

Justin, whose finger was already on the donations button but hadn’t yet sent the virtual gifts: “?”.

His expression darkened.

Why did these brats have so much pocket money?

It was time to talk to their parents and get them to limit their children’s pocket money!

Having missed another opportunity to please his daughter, Justin was so angry that he was about to throw the cell phone away. However, it was at that moment that the cell phone rang: Nora had sent him a text message. It said, ‘Mr. Hunt, if I may dare to ask, why do you hate the mother of your child so much?’

Justin’s look turned solemn when he saw the message.

It was time they had a good talk about this.
