Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 29

Chapter 697: A Trick, Yvette’s Skillful Methods

Charles lowered his head and sighed heavily.

He felt like he had no dignity to speak of it in front of Nora.

However, he knew that he had betrayed Yvette and then Nora. He deserved all of this.

He raised his head and looked at Nora. “Ms. Nora, do you know how difficult and dangerous it will be for you to find V16?”

Nora looked at him.

Charles took a deep breath. “Do you really think that the mysterious organization is weak? Ms. Nora, you’re wrong, very wrong! Trueman is only one of them! Their power is so strong that you can’t even imagine it, their background as well. Everything they show you is what they’re willing to let you find out. Even that child…”

“At the time, I kept emphasizing that you had twins because I wanted you to stay away from Xander and not be dragged into the V16 mess. But you were still too smart. That child was injected with a gene serum. Logically, if I didn’t admit it, you shouldn’t have noticed, since your DNA wouldn’t match very well.”

What he did not know was that Nora and Lily’s medical skills were high enough to restore the initial DNA.

Nora could not be bothered to explain this to him. But was the mysterious organization really so powerful?

She lowered her eyes.

To be honest, all she had heard until now was that there would be danger when she grew up and that she should stay away from mysterious organizations.

However, the only person from the mysterious organization whom she really came into contact with was Trueman.

Although Trueman’s behavior was bad, to Nora, he was as childish as a three-year-old little demon.

She asked, “Is the mysterious organization really that powerful?”

Charles asked, “If they’re not strong, if they’re not powerful, why didn’t Ms. Yvette ask for help? Why did she escape to California by herself? Why did she keep you alive while she herself had to die in the end?”

Nora fell silent.

She had already wondered about this question.

The mysterious organization was very powerful overseas, but was it that powerful in New York? Back then, if her mother had asked the special department for help and not tried to escape, would she not have had to die?

Charles shook his head. “Because your mother knew that even if she asked for help, it was useless! In the end, she came to California. In the end, she could only die helplessly to protect you and your secret. No matter how powerful your mother was, she was still discovered by the mysterious organization in the end. Ms. Yvette was still a step behind.”

After Yvette died, Charles felt like his worldview had collapsed.

Even someone as strong as her had been forced to this extent by the mysterious organization that she had to protect her daughter with her life. She had been discovered by the mysterious organization and they had found him as well.

At that time, his heart wavered.

Ms. Yvette was not a match for a mysterious organization.

Therefore, in the end, he chose to betray Ms. Yvette in fear.

After that, he watched helplessly as the Grays and the Smiths in California slowly developed. Both sides thought that their cooperation was very stable, but they did not know that everything was under the surveillance of the mysterious organization! The two families were played like monkeys. In the end, they arranged for Charles to get Nora pregnant with multiple children…

He sighed and continued, “I betrayed Ms. Yvette. Not long after her death, the mysterious organization discovered your existence and learned about your mother and the Grays’ conspiracy. They sat on the fishing boat and dominated the subsequent events!

Later, I was used by the mysterious organization to deal with you. It was indeed because of the drug that you gave birth to the triplets. And your pregnancy back then was plotted by Trueman!”

Compared to the mysterious organization, Ms. Yvette was still a step behind.

As Charles was thinking, he saw Nora shake her head. “Instead, I feel that the mysterious organization has fallen into my mother’s trap.”

Charles was stunned and looked at her in confusion.

Nora stared at him. “So what if the mysterious organization found out about me? They did not catch me and interrogate me about V16’s whereabouts because they knew that it was useless!

They had to wait obediently until I grew up. They had to ensure my safety with bodyguards because if I died, the Grays would never have been able to get the V16, and the mysterious organization would forever lose it as well.

Mother should have known this when she died. Until now, everything has been in her plans!”

Charles was stunned.

His eyes widened and he stared at Nora in disbelief.

After careful consideration of her words, he realized that it was not impossible for Ms. Yvette to fight against the mysterious organization!

At least for the past 25 years, the mysterious organization had been protecting Nora.

This was all within her expectations.

Charles felt like his entire worldview was about to collapse. He looked at Nora in a daze.

Nora continued, “In fact, mother should have guessed that they would inject my child with gene serum and I would be controlled by them. Therefore, she really must have left behind the V16 formula or the completed product! Although I don’t know why the mysterious organization didn’t just keep me themselves, she couldn’t just let my child die at their hands!”

Charles looked at Nora. His thoughts were already in a daze.

He said, “I know why they didn’t keep you.”

Nora hesitated and asked, “Why?”

“It’s because your mother had injected you with a gene serum to improve your intelligence the moment you were born. That drug was unique. Once injected, the body is unable to take other drugs. Not only did they not dare to inject you with another serum, but they also needed to guarantee that you digested the small amount your mother had injected you with.”

Genetic serums themselves had huge side effects. This was also why only five children from the mysterious organization had survived all these years.

Charles was silent for a moment as if he was slowly realizing how ingenious Yvette’s arrangements were. “Besides, the mysterious organization doesn’t dare to attack you. If you die, there will be nothing left! That’s why they chose your child!”

When Nora heard this, she suddenly realized that her mother had injected her with a small amount of medicine after she was born. She had really considered all aspects of the matter!

She was surprised by her mother’s ingenious arrangements. She looked at Charles and stepped forward, staring at him. “So now can you tell me?”

Chapter 698: The Clue Is on Her!

Charles was a little stunned by Nora’s words.

Over the years, he had always thought that it was because Yvette was no match for the mysterious organization that she had been schemed against. But it turned out that he was wrong.

It was as expected of Ms. Yvette.

He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. After a moment, he said, “She left behind a medicine.”

Nora suddenly looked at him. “Where is it?”

Charles shook his head. “I really don’t know. She had left you a clue. She once said that it would be up to you to find it.”

Before she died, Yvette had arranged everything for the three of them.

When the four of them separated, Old Maddy was worried about Nora’s safety and had asked, “Are you really sure about Nora? Besides, the clues to the V16 are only meant for Nora. Will she be in danger?”

Yvette had said at that time, “If she finds it in the future, it would mean that she has the intelligence and power to resist the mysterious organization. If she can’t find it… Then, as long as V16 doesn’t show up, nothing will happen to her. The mysterious organization will protect her.”

Clues…

Her mother had really left a clue.

Nora stood up suddenly. At this moment, there was no need for Charles to lie to her. He was definitely telling the truth.

However, other than a voice message, the only thing her mother had left behind was that company.

The company… When she was in California, she had suspected that the Gray's wanted her company, so she had already turned the company upside down. There was nothing there!

It seemed like she had overlooked something.

At this moment, Charles was useless to her. Nora turned around and walked out.

She had just taken two steps when Charles suddenly shouted, “Ms. Nora…”

Nora stopped in her tracks and turned back.

Charles’s old face was filled with caution and frustration. He looked like his heart had turned to ashes. He hesitated and said, “I’m sorry… Ms. Yvette probably won’t forgive me.”

Looking at this person and thinking about his miserable life, Nora suddenly said, “She will.”

Charles was stunned.

Nora said calmly, “She never blamed you.”

Charles had betrayed Yvette and spent his entire life in guilt. When he heard this, he felt like the huge rock pressing on his heart for so many years had dropped. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Nora did not look at him again and walked out of the ward.

Lily followed beside her and asked in confusion, “Boss, why did you say your mother would forgive him? For someone like him who betrayed his master, if it were me, I would never forgive him!”

Hearing this, Nora sighed and looked at her. “Because even his betrayal was within my mother’s expectations.”

After saying this, Nora strode away.

Lily was left standing in the hospital. When she came over today to see Quentin, she did not plan to leave with Nora. When she heard Nora’s words, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

The clue was with her, which was also the reason why the mysterious organization did not attack her directly.

As for staying low-profile, her mother’s warning was probably to let her conserve her strength.

By now Nora had finally guessed all her mother’s plans. At the same time that she was excited, she was also anxious.

With her mother being so smart, it would probably be even more difficult for her to resolve this problem.

On the way back to the Smith's, she put on her earphones and listened to the recording her mother had left her. This was the only thing her mother had left behind.

After listening to it a few times, she had those words memorized.

Nora sighed silently.

It seemed like she had to go to California and chat with the manager of Idealian Pharmaceuticals. Since her mother had trusted him back then, he must have some important information.

As she thought about this, she listened attentively to the recording in her earpiece and suddenly captured some information.

At the same time, her phone rang.

Chapter 699: Who Dares to Chase Me Away?

Nora had a flash of inspiration and caught some information. However, all her inspiration was interrupted by her phone ringtone, making her frown.

She felt like something she had overlooked was about to surface, but it instantly sank to the bottom again.

She sighed silently.

It seemed like she really could not be anxious.

She picked up her phone. A gentle voice came from the other end. “Nora, I’ll go to the Hunt's later. Are you coming?”

It was Justin’s mother, Iris.

When she thought of the gentle woman, Nora laughed softly. “Okay… Sister.”

After all, she had recognized her as her God-sis back then.

Iris had really taken good care of herself. Over the years, she had been raising flowers every day and did not care about the outside world. Such a person had no worries and still looked to be in her thirties.

She probably couldn’t get Nora to call her Mom, either.

Hearing Nora call her ‘sister’, Iris was silent for a moment before she smiled. “Only call me that in private. Don’t call me that when we’re at the Hunt's.”

Nora: “?”

Just as she raised her eyebrows, she heard her say, “I don’t want my son to become a cold machine when he faces me.”

When Nora heard this, she was silent for a moment before replying, “Okay.”

Justin and Iris’s relationship did not seem to be very good. She did not know the specific reason, but she did not want to add to the misunderstanding between them.

After hanging up, she drove back to the Hunt's.

When she arrived at the door, she noticed that Iris’ car had also arrived.

The woman was wearing a white dress. She was tall and slender. Her actions had the elegance and grace of a young lady from a big family. She slowly walked toward Nora.

“What are you here for?”

Nora almost called her God-sis. Fortunately, she controlled herself.

Iris looked at her affectionately and said, “It was Cherry and Pete’s birthday yesterday. I won’t join in the fun, but as a grandmother, I have to make up for it. Besides… I heard that you had actually given birth to triplets back then?”

Nora: “…”

Why were Iris’s eyes so mocking when she mentioned the triplets?

She had even added, “How awesome!” at the end.

Nora felt a little awkward and followed her into the room.

In the living room, Cherry was playing games on the sofa while Pete was sitting beside her, reading. Xander was still resting upstairs. Although his fever had subsided, he was still a little weak.

When they saw Iris, their eyes lit up. They jumped down from the sofa and ran to her.

Pete was clearly much more lively than before. He took the initiative to shout, “Grandma!”

Cherry’s eyes widened as well. “Grandma, tell me the truth. Are you a vampire?”

Everyone: “?”

The others were a little surprised. Why would Cherry say such rude things?

Only Nora’s mouth twitched. She was used to it. Sure enough, she heard her next words. “Why don’t you look old at all? You’re still so young and beautiful? If we go out together, people will definitely think you’re my sister!”

Saying that she was her sister was too much.

However, such lies did not feel strange coming from Cherry’s mouth. She even wanted to laugh.

Iris smiled and picked her up. “Cherry, you’re so sweet. I wonder who you inherited that from?”

“Not Mommy!”

Her mother was the most stubborn and did not like to speak!

After Cherry subconsciously said this, she looked up at Nora. When her eyes met Nora’s, she immediately added, “After all, I’ve already inherited Mommy’s beauty~ I can’t be greedy!”

This little bootlicker.

Nora’s lips curled up. Her almond-shaped eyes glared at her slightly

Iris also laughed out loud. Then, she gave the three children the gifts she had brought and went upstairs to see Xander.

Nora had lit a calming incense in the room, so the little guy was sleeping very soundly and did not wake up.

Iris did not want to stay in the Hunt's for very long. She stood up and said, “I’ll see him next time.”

She went out and then downstairs with Nora. When she saw Justin standing there, her eyes flickered for a moment before she nodded at him.

“You’re here.”

Justin’s attitude was also very cold. Iris said, “I’d come to see the child. I’ll get going now.”

Justin nodded distantly.

Iris glanced at him. Although there was a lot she wanted to say, she did not know where to start. In the end, she silently walked past Justin.

Just as she reached the door, the butler rushed in. “Sir, bad news! Old Sir is back!”

When the butler saw Iris, he instantly shut his mouth.

Iris frowned. “Who?”

The butler was anxious. He glanced at Justin and could only bite the bullet and say, “J-Jus… Justin’s… father.”

Iris immediately clenched her fists.

The butler added carefully, “And… and that

woman.”

When Nora saw the situation, she looked at Justin. She saw the man raise his eyes and stare outside with a deep gaze. He was silent for two seconds before saying, “Chase her away.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a voice was heard. “This is my house. Let’s see who dares to chase me away?”
