Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 46

Chapter 746: Continuing to Slap Face!

Raymond stared at Sean.

Herman had realized earlier that Sean had not raised his hand to agree, so he had shut his mouth early with a bad feeling in his heart.

When the conductor said this, everyone looked at him.

Without the conductor saying anything, everyone understood that the 5% shares in Sean’s hands were very important.

Therefore, Raymond interrupted him and asked, “What’s the result? Sean hasn’t agreed yet! Add Sean’s shares too!”

When the conductor heard this, he looked at Sean weakly and waited for his choice.

Raymond said, “Sean, what are you waiting for? Hurry up! Didn’t you say that Justin was unfair to you? He trusts Lawrence who doesn’t know how to do anything and only knows how to curry favors all day, but he’s more wary of you!”

Lawrence, who was shot lying down, was speechless.

He was really furious as he stood behind Justin.

What did he mean by only knowing how to curry favors?!

Who was he looking down on? He was just trying to figure out his boss’s thoughts!

Lawrence was furious.

Raymond continued to drive a wedge between them. He spoke about all the dissatisfaction in Sean’s heart and forced him to raise his stand. “And when you bought 5% of the shares years ago, it was also your family who supported you. At that time, he sold them to you at a higher than market price. You’ve hated this boss of yours for a long time, haven’t you? Didn’t you say so yourself? You’re not trusted in the company!”

What he said was reasonable. It was obvious that he was really dissatisfied with Justin. If it had been anyone else, they would have fallen out when these words were said.

But Sean and Justin…

The corners of Lawrence’s mouth twitched as he could not help but curse inwardly!

What kind of nonsense talk was this? Sean was the one who paid for the shares, okay?! Boss just wanted to inject capital into Hunt Corporation, that’s why he used Sean!

If he did not know the truth, he might have scolded Justin for treating Sean badly with Raymond.

But in reality?

Lawrence knew very well!

Sean was the person his boss trusted the most. The reason why he was not put in an important position in the company was that he was also managing his business, okay?!

Lawrence was the most pitiful one. He sucked up to his boss every day and begged for food…

As Lawrence thought about this, he felt like crying.

With that, Herman said, “Sean, don’t worry. This is a public place. He won’t dare to do anything to you. Besides, you’re not betraying him. You’re a shareholder, so you have your own choice!”

At this moment, Herman and Raymond both thought that Sean was afraid of Justin.

After the two of them finished, Sean slowly said, “Okay.”

Raymond: “Then raise your hand?”

The conductor also looked at him weakly. “Mr. Sean, do you approve of Mr. Herman being the president of Hunt Corporation?”

Sean said simply, “No.”

“….”

For a moment, the entire meeting room fell silent.

In the strange atmosphere, the conductor slowly said, “Yes… Well, if Mr. Sean doesn’t support it, then there are 17 people who support Mr. Herman as the president of Hunt Corporation, one-sixth of the total number. Everyone’s shares add up to… 45.3%. There is less than half the number of people and shares, so… the motion is rejected.”

With that, the conductor said, “Then next, those who approve of Mr. Justin’s continued role as the president of Hunt Corporation, please raise your hands.”

As soon as he said this, the other people in the office raised their hands.

Also!

Not only these people, but even those who had supported Herman raised their hands again. Someone even explained, “Mr. Hunt, I had heard incorrectly. I had heard incorrectly…”

Justin ignored these people.

But Raymond and Herman kept their eyes on Sean.

Sean raised his hand.

At this moment, both of them knew that they had been played by Sean!

Raymond was furious. He pointed at him and scolded, “Sean, you’re good! So you were just messing with us? Heh, you’re a spineless person. You deserve to never be placed in an important position by Justin!”

Sean said angrily, “I can get money without doing work. Isn’t that better?”

Raymond was speechless.

Herman narrowed his eyes.

The conductor said at the appropriate time, “There are 90 people who support Mr. Justin Hunt’s continued role as Hunt Corporation’s President. This totals to 65% of shares; the motion is passed. Mr. Justin Hunt will continue to be the company’s president!”

With that, everyone in the meeting room stood up and started clapping.

Justin sat there steadily the entire time. When he raised his hand slightly, the clapping crowd instantly fell silent. Then, he looked at Herman and said, “You gathered all the shareholders together to see how you embarrass yourself?”

Herman: “You…!”

“Meeting dismissed.”

Justin’s cold words blocked Herman’s words. Then, he stood up and strode out. He could not be bothered to speak to Herman.

However, Herman saw him walk out the door and stood up to follow him. He shouted angrily, “Justin!”

Justin stopped in his tracks and looked at him.

Herman walked to Justin.

A person close to 50 years old could no longer compare to Justin’s stature. Justin’s figure was ramrod straight as he looked at Herman. An unfamiliar pressure and depth exuded from his dark eyes, making him difficult to fathom.

At this moment, Herman suddenly understood that the son in front of him was not someone he could control.

However…

He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Do you think you can protect Iris just because you beat me? I’m not even half as good as Philip! He’s not stupid! You can continue to be the chairman, but I advise you not to fight Philip head-on. If he wants Iris, you’ll have to send her over! Otherwise, the Hunt's will be ruined in your hands sooner or later!”

When Justin heard his words, he only felt mocked. He could not even be bothered to look at him now as he strode forward.

Justin went downstairs and got into the car, driving toward the Hunts.

Lawrence and Sean helped him clean up the people in the company, now it was time to clean up the people at home!

“Felix? What’s wrong with you? Why did the heater stop again?!”

Brenda grabbed Felix in exasperation and questioned him angrily.

Felix sat there calmly and fiddled with his fingers. “Ms. Brenda, I advise you not to interfere!”

Brenda grabbed his collar. “Try saying that

again?”

Felix was very arrogant. “Ms. Brenda, I advise you not to make a move either. Otherwise, when the board of directors meeting is over, there will be just one family left! Your third branch might also be chased away!”

Justin’s car slowly stopped at the entrance of Hunt Corporation.

Felix and Brenda both turned to look. Felix touched his stomach, which was in pain from being kicked yesterday, and smiled. “Look, he must have lost! Only those who lose scurry back to pack! Mr. Herman and Madam Lauren are still in the company. They must be busy with the handover. Your good days are over! You hit me yesterday, I’ll remember this! Heh!”

Brenda: “!”

She glared at Felix, but she still walked toward Justin.

As Justin entered, the servants at home all looked over, wanting to know the final outcome.

As the vanguard of Lauren, Felix went to Justin’s villa and planned to take the opportunity to mock him. As he approached, he heard Brenda ask, “Justin, how was the meeting?”

Chapter 747: The Divorce Storm?

Justin got out of the car and prepared to go home to see the three children.

After all, it had been three days since he pretended to go on a business trip.

Hearing Brenda’s words, he casually replied, “It was nothing.”

He casually entered the villa.

Brenda: “?”

She was stunned. She stood in the yard and asked, “What do you mean by nothing? Justin, you didn’t really lose, did you? Are we really going to move?”

When Felix, who was at the door, heard this, he became even more pleased with himself. He said with a smile, “See, Mr. Hunt indeed has indeed seen the world. Your position as president is gone and you still say it’s nothing… Heh!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chauffeur who had returned with Justin explained to Brenda, “Ms. Brenda, you’re mistaken! Mr. Hunt won! Lawrence and Sean are currently handling some matters in the company. Mr. Hunt was worried about the family, so he came back first!”

With this sentence, Felix’s heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he felt that he had heard wrong.

What did the driver say?

Justin had won?

Then he…

Felix stood there stiffly.

At this moment, Justin, who had entered, came out with a cold expression. His gaze swept across the room and stopped on Felix. “You broke the heater?”

Felix: !!

He was so frightened that he hurriedly took a step forward. His legs went limp and he fell to the ground. He shouted, “Mr. Hunt, I didn’t do it on purpose. I, I, I…”

Before he could finish speaking, Justin kicked him!

Bang!

This pain was even stronger than Brenda’s kick yesterday. It sent Felix flying again and slammed him into the wall behind him before he fell to the ground with a thud.

His entire body hurt and he felt like his organs had been jolted out!

“Bring him down and teach him a lesson.”

With that, Justin turned around and returned to the villa.

Felix was still dizzy when his arm was tied behind his back and he was taken downstairs.

“Daddy is awesome!”

“Daddy is so domineering!”

“Daddy, that kick of yours was like the Monkey King. It was simply too awesome!”

“Daddy, Cherry wants a hug. I missed you, where did you go?”

The bootlicker Cherry hugged Justin’s leg and looked up with a smile as she flattered him. Her childish voice made Justin feel like his heart had melted.

He glanced into the room and asked, “Where’s your mother?”

“Mommy’s still upstairs!”

After comforting Cherry and letting her continue to play downstairs, Justin went upstairs. He had just entered when he saw Nora sleeping on the sofa.

Justin walked over and gently picked her up and placed her on the bed.

The heater in the room wasn’t working and it was very cold.

The moment he went to bed and touched the silk blanket, Nora instinctively curled up and mumbled, “I’m cold.”

Hearing this, Justin smiled.

He took off his clothes and stuffed himself into the blanket.

Nora asked in a daze, “What are you doing?”

“Aren’t you afraid of the cold?”.

Justin’s voice was vague. “I’ll warm you up.”

Nora: “…”

Nora still wanted to say something, but her hands and feet were pressed down by his big hands and legs. The man’s body was like a hot stove. It was quite comfortable hugging him like this.

She could not be bothered to move.

However, she did not expect the man to push his luck. “You’re still cold, right? Why don’t I help you exercise to warm up?”

Nora: “?”

While the two of them were done warming up, the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Perhaps the temperature of the floor had risen a little. Or perhaps the exercise earlier had indeed worked.

Nora was not cold anymore and she fell asleep again.

Justin looked at the woman hugging him.

Although they’d already had skin-to-skin contact before, the woman did not want to be intimate with him and kept pushing him away.

But now, she was obediently being hugged by him.

Suddenly, he did not want the heater anymore.

Ahem.

When Nora’s breathing got even, Justin finally lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

He held his vibrating phone and put on a sleeping robe. He went to the study and closed the door before answering the call.

On the other end of the line was a familiar voice. “Kid, you win this time.”

It was Philip!

Justin’s voice was a little hoarse. After all, he had just finished ‘exercising’ and was still a little thirsty. “Thank you.”

Philip said, “Unfortunately, you won the workplace but lost the love seat.”

Justin: “?”

He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Philip smiled sarcastically again. “You should understand by now that women are no good, right? They say they love you, but in the end, they always go with someone else! Now, I’ll let you have a taste of how I felt back then! I hope you’ll like this gift I’m giving you next.”

With that, he hung up.

Justin: “?”

What was Philip doing?

As he was thinking, Lawrence called. “Boss, you’re in the newspaper!”

Justin: “?”

Lawrence took a photo and sent it over. It was a weekly magazine in the mall. Although there were fewer physical magazines now, this magazine’s sale had never fallen. After all, the ones who ordered this magazine were all high-end people in the business world. This group of people still had the habit of reading physical newspapers and magazines.

There was a piece of news in today’s journal:

“The outcome of the Hunts’ internal strife has not been determined, but Miss Smith has already found a way out.”

“Not only is Justin Hunt fighting his father for the consortium, but he is also facing his fiancée’s affair!”

Justin: “?”

He continued to read the content:

[According to reports, a photo and video of Miss Smith keeping a pretty boy have surfaced. It has been confirmed that Miss Smith has an affair outside. Justin is in danger. Did Miss Smith sense that he wouldn’t overcome this difficulty?]

There were photos of Nora going to the villa in the suburbs below.

Lawrence continued, “Now, it’s not just in the newspapers. Even on the Internet, there are people spreading the news. Our IT department has contacted people to delete the thread, but the other party seems to have made ample preparations. Every time we delete it, they bring it up again. It can’t be deleted now.”

On the Internet…

Justin opened a website again and saw that the number one trending article was: “A shocking inside story of a wealthy family: A poor man was abandoned by his fiancée.”

It was a video of Nora cheating on him.

The people below were already cursing.

“The wealthy families are so chaotic.”

“I heard that wealthy couples are only husband and wife on the surface, but they each do their own thing. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but no one has ever caused such a scandal, right?”

“The Hunt's are really in an embarrassing situation now! They’re definitely going to break the engagement!”

“Miss Smith is indeed too much. The marriage between the Smith's and Hunt's is too out of line. No matter what, can’t she just get Mr. Hunt to step down before looking for someone else? This is really a slap to Mr. Hunt’s face!”

Of course, there were also some who raised doubts weakly.

“Can’t it be Mr. Hunt in the video?”

“Is the person above joking? Everyone in the business knows he was overseas those few days. If he’s overseas, does he have two bodies?”

“Stop arguing! Go and take a look. Someone has dug out who the man hiding in Miss Smith’s golden house is!!”

Justin: “??”

He followed the thread and clicked on a link. When he saw the list of people being suspected, he did not know whether to laugh or cry!

Chapter 748: Clarification!!

There was a sea of guesses. They were all either male celebrities or people from the male model circle. These people had a common feature, and that was that they were all very handsome.

At the end of each guess, it was written clearly that during that period of time, these male celebrities and male models were in the city. Furthermore, on the night that Nora was photographed, they basically had no work.

Furthermore, among these people, there were some artists under the entertainment company employed by Smith Corporation. They were all saying that these artists had a secret background. Now, it seemed like the truth was out. This background was Nora!

Justin: “…”

The netizens were really imaginative! They could think of everything.

He lowered his eyes and sneered.

At this moment, Brenda walked in secretly. When she saw him, she instantly stepped back and planned to escape.

However, before she could leave, Justin stopped her. “Where are you going?”

Brenda turned around and looked at him awkwardly. Her voice was a little graceful and charming. Even if she were to speak to Justin, she could not change her tone. “Justin… are you in a bad mood?”

Justin: “?”

Brenda said, “I actually understand you very well, but I also understand Nora quite well. After all, Nora can’t give up the entire fish pond just because you’re in there!”

Justin: “???”

Brenda continued to persuade him. “You have to be happy and go with the flow in life. Sometimes, you have to be carefree. Justin, you should understand Nora. It was so difficult for her to give birth to three children for you. She just made a small mistake that any woman could make!”

“Oh, Justin, why don’t you understand? Nora definitely loves you the most, but think about it. When the most outstanding male celebrities in the entertainment industry gather together and ask you to choose, can you do it? Nora has been keeping her innocence for you all these years. It has been very difficult…”

The more Brenda spoke, the more she felt Justin’s expression darken, and her voice gradually became softer.

Actually, she knew that her sister-in-law was in the wrong!

After all, Nora had let her brother down!

However, as a person who liked handsome men of all colors, she really understood her sister-in-law’s cheating…

Brenda sighed silently. “Actually, Nora is already in this state now. Why don’t you two really call off the engagement?!”

Lawrence, who was standing beside her, thought that Brenda was speaking up for Justin. He was about to say that Ms. Brenda was usually very unreliable and he did not expect her to support her brother at the critical moment!

However, just as this thought flashed across his mind, he heard Brenda’s next words. “That way, Nora will be free.”

Lawrence: “??”

His eyes widened.

Justin also looked straight at Brenda. After holding back for a while, he finally said, “Scram!”

“Okay.” Brenda winked at him. Then, she looked at the three little cuties walking down from upstairs upon hearing her voice. She nodded at Cherry and reminded her, “Don’t be naughty these few days~ Your father is in a bad mood.”

The children were speechless.

Justin: “??”

He could not help but take half a step in Brenda’s direction. It frightened her so much that she instantly jumped up from her spot like a frightened rabbit.

Even in her high heels and short leather skirt, she ran away quickly. As she ran, she waved her hand and said, “Justin, bye-bye! Think about it!”

Justin felt his forehead throb faintly.

This sister had not been like this when she was young. He did not know when she had become so loose, especially when she said those words. How could she?

Her manners were extremely bad.

She was his younger sister. Justin cared a lot about her the past few years and wanted her to have a serious relationship.

However, she always rejected him righteously, saying that she would let the other handsome men down.

As for getting married, she had never even thought about it. She even said that she was a celibate.

It was also because of her attitude that her parents didn’t have any thoughts of competing. After all, why would they need so much money?

Wasn’t it enough to live without worry?

With their daughter’s attitude, they would not have a grandson to hug either!

Brenda was 24 years old. She was at the peak of her life, but she dolled herself up only to work at the police station.

It really gave Justin a headache.

However!

What gave him a headache was not the thought of how to correct Brenda, but the worry that she would lead his daughter astray.

The corners of Justin’s mouth twitched before he lowered his head to look at Cherry and said sincerely, “Cherry, you can’t learn anything from your aunt Brenda when you grow up!”

Cherry: “But I think Auntie is pretty cool! Mommy also said that Auntie is very carefree!”

Justin: “??!”

Pete, who was beside her, sighed silently. He stepped forward and held Cherry’s hand. “Cherry, it’s not good for you to be like this!”

Cherry: “Why?”

Pete: “Look, Mommy only has us because she has Daddy. But how could Auntie have a baby if she doesn’t find an uncle for us?”

Cherry: “?”

Pete continued, “If everyone stopped having children, won’t humans become extinct in this world sooner or later?”

Cherry: “???”

Xander pursed his lips by the side and added, “Liar! Mommy and Daddy aren’t married yet, but there’s still the three of us, right? Besides, are you going to let Cherry bear children for another boy when she grows up?”

Hearing this, Pete choked on his words.

The two brothers who had a sister complex immediately stood beside Cherry.

Pete: “No, having a child is very dangerous. Mommy has already given birth to us. There’s no other way, but Cherry, don’t give birth to a child for others!”

Xander: “Yes, I should find another boy to bear your child!”

Cherry: “That’s awesome!”

Justin: “?”

Pete interrupted Xander darkly, “Which boy are you planning to get your sister to have a child with?”

Xander immediately came to his senses. “No, Cherry can’t fall for another boy. Boys are all bad people!”

Pete nodded and said to Cherry, “Yes, Cherry, stay single. It’s good, just don’t be like Auntie. She likes handsome men everywhere. You can like handsome men but just look at them. Don’t get involved with them, okay?”

Cherry: “But didn’t you say that if no one gives birth, humans on Earth will become extinct?”

Pete: “You’re the only one who’ll be fine without a child.”

Cherry hesitated for a moment. “Alright, then I only like my brothers and Daddy!”

Justin: “…”

Wasn’t this too much?!

However, he did not have the time to care about what the children said. After all, it was all just childish babble. He could not take them seriously. There were more important things to do now.

Justin stopped Lawrence. “Go and clarify.”

Philip must have found someone to flame the news. Furthermore, the matter had already blown up. It concerned Nora’s reputation. He did not want to accept it. He had to make things clear.

Therefore, Hunt Corporation’s official page posted a message:

“Miss Smith has indeed been to the suburban villa, but the person waiting for her in the villa was none other than President Hunt.”

Then, he released a photo of Justin standing in a suburban villa.

There were photos as evidence and words to clarify.

The news on the Internet immediately suppressed it. Everyone’s public opinion was guided.

“Haha, it turned out to be a farce. The engaged couple only went for a date and was still scrutinized by the public. How ridiculous.”

“These guys are so obsessed with wealthy families. It’s as if they themselves are from wealthy families. Are the people in wealthy families so free? You guys haven’t reached that level, but you always think so badly of them…”

Justin’s phone rang again.

He picked up the call and Philip’s sarcastic voice came from the other end. “Heh, I didn’t expect you to be willing to sacrifice so much for the marriage between the Smith's and Hunt's. You can even tolerate being a cuckold?”
