Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 609: Go to the Hunt's to Interrogate Ruth! Cherry asked again, “Where did your father go?” The other party: “God knows. Anyway, that’s not important. The important thing is that no one will care about me.” Cherry asked, “Doesn’t your mother care about you?” The other party: “I don’t have a mother. I lived with my father alone.” Cherry: “??” The other party replied, “Alright, let’s not talk about it. I’m busy. I’ll let your brother come and see how awesome I am another day!” Cherry put down her phone in resignation. Beside her, Pete looked at her curiously. “Who is this?” Cherry tilted her head and explained, “This is a good friend I know from the Internet. His hobby is to grow wheat on cows. He can make the wheat smell like beef, dogs, rabbits, and dogs. He’s very smart. He once connected a dog’s body to a cat’s head for two hours. Unfortunately, they died in the end.” Pete: “Cherry, stay away from this person!” Cherry was stunned and asked in confusion, “Why?” Pete said seriously, “Because this person is either a lunatic, and everything he says is a lie, or he’s crazy! Why did he connect the dog’s body with the cat’s head? Did he torture the two pets to death just for fun?” At these words, Cherry thought of a child torturing two little pets and instantly shuddered. She swallowed. “Pete, you make it sound so scary!” Pete continued to teach her seriously. “So stay away from him in the future!” Tanya and Nora, who were at the door, were speechless. Tanya said, “If not for Pete’s honesty and kindness, I would have thought he was jealous.” Nora: “…” The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed. In fact, over this period of time, she had long realized that however obedient and sensible Pete was, it was only on the surface. How could Pete be a good person when he grew up with Justin? This fellow had many thoughts. To put it bluntly, he was scheming. She had just confirmed that Pete was jealous! Otherwise, he would not have said bad things about the other boy! However, when did Cherry make such a weird friend? Which family was that child from? He was so young, but he was already so cruel. Of course, Cherry was not easily fooled. She pursed her lips. “Brother, I won’t talk to him if you let me play games!” Pete: “!!” He was silent for a moment before he sighed and did not probe further. “Forget it.” Cherry picked up her phone excitedly. The slightly intense dispute dissipated into thin air. Nora looked at Tanya. “See that? It’s a good thing I came fast.” Tanya: “…” The scene of the two children being obedient returned to the room. Nora simply went out. Just as she was about to leave, her phone suddenly rang. She took a look and realized that it was Morris. She was stunned for a moment before answering the call. She heard Morris say, “Caleb has escaped.” Nora was surprised. “So fast?” “Yes, everyone’s attention was on you and Ruth today. He found a chance to escape.” That was true. After all, Caleb wanted to pretend that he had escaped. It was definitely appropriate for the special department to be in such a mess today, but. She suddenly felt a little regretful. Previously, she had asked Sheril to make a few cough pills for him. As it was her first time making them, she had only made a few and was urgently making a second batch. Unfortunately, with him gone, she could not give them to him even if she made one, right? As she thought about this, Morris suddenly changed the topic. “I heard that Ruth and Mr. Hunt have returned to the Hunt's? And Mr. Hunt is suspected of raping her?” Nora frowned and sounded a little unhappy. “Is that so?” “Yes, my people saw her enter the Hunt Manor with their own eyes. If possible, can you spare her life? I still want to use her to bait people.” Nora was silent for a moment before saying, “Don’t worry. Justin and I are good law-abiding citizens.” In the special department—the corners of Morris’s mouth twitched when he heard the beeping sound on the phone. Mark, who was beside him, looked at Morris carefully. “Our people can’t enter the Hunt Manor, so we don’t know what they’re doing inside… We really don’t have a choice. Can we get Miss Smith to take a look? And report to us.” He did not pursue the matter with Ruth nor suspect her. He only chased her away. It was all Morris’s bait. He wanted to see her contact the mysterious organization and take advantage of the opportunity. However, who would have thought that Ruth would be taken to the Hunt Manor as soon as she left the special department, causing them to lose their surveillance?! Morris looked at him and sneered. “Report? In what capacity should I ask Miss Smith to report to us?! If she was still in the special department, then I could request her to go on a mission as her superior. But what should I do now?” Mark shut his mouth and lowered his head. Why did it feel like the special department was in chaos ever since the moment Miss Smith left? The investigation that had finally gotten on track previously had become troublesome again. Nora got out of the car and was about to walk to the living room when she was grabbed by Mrs. Hunt. Mrs. Hunt looked at her and saw that she did not look happy. She instantly trembled and coughed. She suddenly said, “Miss Smith, um, you have to be forgiving.” Nora: “???” The old lady suddenly felt guilty. Although she was very arrogant in the past, after learning that Nora was Pete’s biological mother, she knew that this marriage was set in stone! Even if it was just for Pete, she had to be Justin’s wife. Therefore, she had to suppress Nora in the future. She could not let her be too arrogant in the Hunt's. But now! Why was there another woman? What if Miss Smith got angry and suddenly broke off the engagement?! She was anxious inside, but Nora could not be bothered with her. She had already walked into Justin’s living room. As soon as she entered, she saw Ruth sitting calmly on the ground. Her hands and feet were already tied, but she was not anxious or flustered. She said with certainty, “Mr. Hunt, I dared to come here alone with you because I have leverage. Your interrogation techniques are useless against me. Unless Black Cat comes in person, no one can make me talk.” Chapter 610: A Woman’s Jealousy Lawrence and two bodyguards stood behind Ruth. Justin sat on the sofa with a cold expression and a strong aura. At first glance, he reminded Nora of the first time she had met this man in California. Only at times like these could Nora clearly see that this man had a noble status. When he was not in front of her, the man’s expression was high and mighty. His entire body exuded an unapproachable aura. He could not be bothered with Ruth and only lowered his head to handle the documents. Lawrence was talking to Ruth instead. “Miss Ruth, don’t make things harder for yourself. Over the years, no one has ever been able to hide anything from us.” Ruth did not want to bother with him at all and directly said to Justin, “Mr. Hunt, it’s useless for you to ignore me like this. Aren’t you afraid of the public’s opinion? If I just disappear out of nowhere, I’m afraid the outside world will start talking about you silencing me!” Justin turned a page of the document, took out a pen, and signed it. However, Lawrence said, “Tsk, Miss Ruth, you’re looking down on the Hunt's too much, aren’t you? Do you think a battle of public opinion will matter to us? Do you think you can publish such news as you please with Y around?” Ruth was stunned. She looked at Lawrence and saw strong confidence coming from this assistant. It was as if those things were nothing to him. She bit her lip. “Shut up! I’m talking to Mr. Hunt. How can you interrupt?” Lawrence raised his chin and sneered. “Miss Ruth, you have to know that I’m only here to talk to you because I’m bored. Do you think you would otherwise have the chance to talk to me?” As Justin’s special assistant, Lawrence’s words had a very big say in New York! Ordinary people would have to rack their brains if they wanted an opportunity to speak to him. He was very proud and aloof. Ruth was furious. “Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? You can’t afford to offend me!” Lawrence sneered. “Who are you?” Ruth wanted to say something, but she calmed down. “You want to pry information out of me? I won’t say anything.” Then, she looked at Justin again and said, “Mr. Hunt, I suggest you let me go. Let’s have a good talk. Otherwise, my people will call the police if I’m missing for 24 hours!” Lawrence: “Omg, I’m so scared!” He pursed his lips. “Who do you think the Hunt's are? Even if your people call the police, can they step foot into our property without any evidence?” Ruth frowned. “You…” Lawrence squatted down. “So, I suggest you talk nicely. After all, we don’t want to kill women either.” Ruth spat saliva splattered on Lawrence’s face. “Since I dared to come, I’m not afraid of torture. Besides, you can’t torture me! If I lose so much as a strand of hair, I guarantee that Mr. Hunt will regret it very much!” Lawrence frowned. He did not know where Ruth’s confidence came from, but to be safe, he still looked at Justin. At this moment, Justin finally put down the document. He slowly raised his head, but his gaze passed through Ruth and went straight to Nora. Then, he stood up. He was still acting very cold and distant, but now, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He strode to Nora and said, “You’re here!” Nora nodded calmly and then turned her gaze to Ruth. Ruth did not seem to expect her to come over, but the moment she saw her, she suddenly understood something. She looked at Justin again and frowned. “You all teamed up to deceive me!” Nora and Justin could not be bothered with her. Only Lawrence bothered to talk to her. “Of course. Did you just notice? Heh, Miss Smith and our Mr. Hunt can already talk with just their eyes. How could he have been stirred up by you? Let me tell you, your matters are nothing in Mr. Hunt’s eyes. Besides, Miss Smith is very magnanimous. She has been framed before, so she definitely won’t fuss about anything!” As he spoke, Lawrence glanced at Nora carefully. Nora: “…” She turned back to look at Justin and saw that he was also sizing her up. It seemed like this person really cared about her opinion. However… If Justin had really slept with Ruth, it would be quite disgusting. She simply waved her hand and said to Lawrence, “Stop wasting time. Just interrogate her.” Lawrence instantly nodded. Just as he was about to call for someone to pull her down, Ruth’s eyes widened and she gritted her teeth. She looked at Justin and shouted, “I slept with Mr. Hunt. Do you really dare to interrogate me? Do you dare to touch me?!” Everyone: “?” Lawrence was stunned by the logic of her words. “Why can’t we interrogate you?” Ruth looked at Justin. “Mr. Hunt, can you really bear to? We had a one-night stand after all. How could you treat me like this?!” There was a silence. After a while, a sneer came from Nora’s mouth. Her pretty face could not help but tighten slightly. She only felt that this women’s brain circuit was damaged. She shook her head and mocked, “Do you think you’re filming a tv show?” Ruth bit her lip. “You’re too shameless. Are you going to torture me? I’m a woman. You guys call yourself men?!” Lawrence: “…” Nora waved her hand. “Forget it. Find a soundproof room. I’ll interrogate her.” Lawrence was stunned. “Miss Smith, you’re doing it?” “Why? Can’t I?” Nora retorted. Lawrence hurriedly glanced at Justin and saw him nod. He then said eagerly, “Of course! you can definitely do it!” With that, he got the two bodyguards to carry Ruth to the basement. The dark room in the basement was very soundproof. After the few of them went in, Ruth was tied to a chair. Her posture was still calm. “I’ve already said that you will only hear what I want to say. You’ll never know what I don’t want to say!” Lawrence also persuaded, “Miss Smith, why don’t we do it? After all, it’s not appropriate to let you do such a bloody thing, right?” Actually, he was thinking to himself, “Miss Smith, you can treat illnesses, but can you interrogate people?” However, he quickly figured out that Miss Smith wasn’t here just to interrogate her. She just wanted to take the opportunity to hurt Ruth! Sigh, women! They were indeed petty. Although they said they were not jealous, they actually cared more than anyone else, right? He wanted Miss Smith to have fun. Later, he would find an excuse to take care of her mood and do it himself! Chapter 611: Nora is Black Cat!! The basement was very big and spacious. It was dozens of square meters. Ruth was tied to a chair in the corner with some equipment for interrogation. Justin sat on the leather sofa beside her, and the two bodyguards stood respectfully behind him. Lawrence was explaining to Nora one by one. “Miss Smith, this isn’t an ordinary whip. There are thorns on it. It’s especially painful! Even a strong man can’t last five minutes with this whip! Do you want to use this?” Nora shook her head and sighed. “It’s too rough.” Lawrence: “…” He could only walk to the other side and take out a box of needles. “Miss Smith, have you seen this before? Do you know how you can prick her with these needles? It won’t leave any marks on the person, but it’s super painful! You can also insert these needles into her body or along her blood vessels to slowly reach into her heart, tormenting her bit by bit.” Nora also shook her head. “This is too despicable.” Lawrence kept explaining one tool after another. Until he had introduced all the tools in the room. Nora did not find any one satisfactory. Lawrence was a little speechless, but he was still very cooperative. At least, explaining these torture devices one by one was already psychological torture for Ruth! When Lawrence saw that Nora was not satisfied, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Miss Smith was a girl after all. She probably could not stand these scary things. Tsk, tsk. What interrogation? She probably just wanted a little taste of it. However, he still said, “If Miss Smith doesn’t like them, why don’t the few of us go through these tools on her first and see if she can withstand it?! If she can, then we’ll let Miss Smith do it again!” With that, Lawrence looked at Ruth. However, Ruth calmly remained seated. There was no fear in her eyes at all. She sighed. “Mr. Hunt, you forced your way into my room and raped me back then. You’ve let me down. Besides, do you think these torture devices will work on me?” She was arrogant and looked very confident. However, it was unknown where this confidence came from. This made Justin and Nora feel extremely surprised. In fact, when Justin invited Ruth to the Hunt's, he originally wanted to find another excuse, but Ruth had readily agreed. At that time, Ruth’s actions had exceeded Justin’s expectations. No woman should be so stupid as to threaten a business tycoon. Moreover, judging from what Ruth had done in the special department, she should be a meticulous person. She pretended to know Q and Black Cat and successfully fooled almost everyone. In fact, if these two identities weren’t Nora’s own, Ruth might not have been slapped so hard in the face. One should wonder how could such a smart woman fall into their trap so easily? Moreover, she kept saying that her identity was not simple. Not simple. Lawrence suddenly said, “Could it be that you’re an agent who has undergone secret training?” Ruth sneered. “So what if I am? So what if I’m not? I didn’t expect Mr. Hunt to be so cold-blooded to the woman he once had a relationship with!” After saying that, she looked at Nora again. “And you! Do you really not care that I slept with him?” Nora replied calmly, “It’s already the 21st century. Are you still living in ancient times?” Regardless of whether Ruth’s words were true or not, even if they were true, it was five or six years ago. Modern people from the 21st century wouldn’t care about such small things. Moreover, it was under the circumstances where Justin was schemed against. How could Nora be jealous and act unreasonably because of this. No way! Nora would never admit that she was jealous. That was why she had not said a word to Justin since she entered. Ruth bit her lip and took a deep breath before saying, “We didn’t just sleep together for a night!” Nora raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I had guessed it.” Ruth was stunned. Nora continued, “You were the one who schemed against him back then, right? But I don’t understand. Whose side are you on?” Ruth stared at her. “Alright, since you’ve guessed it, I have nothing to hide. I’m one of your mother’s people!” The message Trueman sent her had said that Nora’s pregnancy was all planned by her mother. So if her mother’s people had schemed against Justin, then Ruth was indeed one of her mother’s people? But this was impossible! As she was thinking, Ruth suddenly said, “Back then, I drugged Justin, but he was too strong. Even with the drug, he could still withstand it. I had no choice but to do it myself… Only then did I obtain his sperm. However, later on, I became more and more jealous of you. I didn’t want to be an invisible person. I also fell for Mr. Hunt, that’s why I came here. How is it? Are you satisfied with this answer?” “No.” Nora sneered. “There are too many holes. There are flaws in your logic. I guess you’re from the mysterious organization.” Ruth sneered. “How is that possible? Don’t slander me here!” Nora rubbed her wrist and stepped forward. “It seems like you really won’t cry until you see the coffin. Since you’re not cooperating, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” With that, she arrived in front of Ruth. Ruth glared at her. “I’m one of your mother’s people, but I’ve undergone training! Using these torture devices on me is a waste of time!” “I don’t like to waste time, either.” Nora suddenly leaned closer to Ruth and whispered into her ear. “You can only hype yourself up as an interrogation master by using my reputation. You don’t know a thing about interrogation, Ruth!” Ruth’s eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Nora in disbelief. Her lips trembled. “You, you, you’re Black Cat?” How could this be?! She was Black Cat… Why was she Black Cat?! No, she suddenly thought back to the times in the special department. Every time she mentioned that she knew Black Cat, Nora would always have a mocking smile on her face. Furthermore, when Nora entered the interrogation room and interrogated those bodyguards, they started singing in no time. At that time, she had thought that Black Cat had guided her… While she was extremely frightened, Nora lowered her eyes. She took out two gloves from her pocket and slowly put them on. “Last time, I needed five minutes to interrogate the top-secret agent known to have the toughest mouth. Guess how long will you last?”
