Chapter 609



Cherry asked again, “Where did your father go?”

The other party: “Who knows. Anyway, that’s not important. What’s important is that no one cares about me.”

Cherry asked, “Doesn’t your mother care about you?”

The other part: “I don’t have a mother. I live alone with my father.”

Cherry: “???”

The other party replied, “Okay, let’s not talk about it. I’m busy. I’ll let your brother come see how awesome I am another day.”

Cherry hung up the phone with resignation.

Beside her, Pete looked at her curiously. “Who is it?”

Cherry cocked her head to the side and explained, “He’s a good friend I know from the internet. His hobby is growing wheat on cows. He’s able to make wheat smell like meat, dog, rabbit and wolf. He is very clever. He once connected the body of a dog to the head of a cat for two hours. Unfortunately, he died in the end.”

Pete: “… Cherry, get away from this person!”

Cherry was stunned and asked confused, “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 join the dog’s body with the cat’s head? Did he torture the two pets to death just for the fun of it?” Hearing these words, Cherry thought of a child torturing two small pets and shuddered instantly.

She gulped. “Pete, you make it sound scary!”

Pete continued to lecture her earnestly. “So stay away from him in the future!”

Tanya and Nora, who were standing in the doorway, were speechless.

Tanya said, “If it wasn’t for Pete’s honesty and kindness, I would have thought he was jealous.”

Nora: “…”

The corners of Nora’s lips twitched.

In fact, during this time, she had long since realized that, as obedient and sensible as Pete was, he was only so on the surface. How could Pete be a good person if he had grown up with Justin?

He had a lot of thoughts.

To put it bluntly, he was a calculating person.

She had just confirmed that Pete was jealous! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said bad things about the other boy!

However, when had Cherry made such a weird friend? What family was this kid from? He was so young, but he was already so cruel.

Of course, Cherry wasn’t easily fooled. She pursed her lips. “Brother, I won’t talk to him if you let me play!”

Pete: “!”

He was silent for a moment before he sighed and no longer persisted with the matter. “Forget it.”

Cherry eagerly picked up the phone. The slightly intense dispute dissipated into thin air.

Nora looked at Tanya. “See that? Good thing I got here fast.”

Tanya: “…”

The scene of the two children being obedient returned to the room. Nora simply walked out. Just as she was about to leave, her phone suddenly rang She glanced over and realized 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, today everyone’s attention was on you and Ruth. He’s found an opportunity to escape.”

That was true.

After all, Caleb wanted to pretend he had escaped. It was definitely appropriate that the special department was in such trouble today, but….

She suddenly felt a little regretful.

Earlier, she had asked Sheril to make her some cough drops. Since it was the first time she had made them, she had only made a few and was in a hurry to make a second batch. Unfortunately, with him gone, she couldn’t give them to him even if she made one, could she?

As she was thinking about this, Morris suddenly changed the subject. “I hear Ruth and Mr. Hunt are back at the Hunts? And that 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 mansion with their own eyes. If possible, can you spare her life? I still want to use her as bait.”

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’ mouth twitched at the sound of the phone beeping.

Mark, who was standing next to him, gave Morris a sharp look. “Our people can’t get into Hunt Manor, so we don’t know what they’re doing inside? We really have no choice. Can we have Miss Smith take a look? And report back to us…”

He didn’t pursue the matter with Ruth or suspect her. He just shooed her away. It was all bait from Morris. He wanted her to contact the mysterious organization and seize the opportunity.

However, who would have thought that Ruth would be taken to Hunt Manor as soon as she left the special department, making them lose surveillance?

Morris looked at him and scoffed. “Report? In what capacity should I ask Miss Smith to report to us? If she were still in the special department, I could ask her to go on a mission as her superior. But what should I do now?”

Mark closed his mouth and lowered his head.

Why did he have the feeling that the special department was in chaos from the moment Miss Smith left? The investigation that had finally been on track earlier had become problematic again?

Nora got out of the car and was about to head for the living room when she was grabbed by Elderly Mrs. Hunt.

Elder Mrs. Hunt looked at her and saw that she did not look happy. Instantly she shivered and coughed. Suddenly she said, “Miss Smith, um, you have to be lenient…”

Nora: “?????”

The old woman suddenly felt guilty.

As arrogant as she had been in the past, after learning that Nora was Pete’s birth mother, she knew that this marriage was set in stone!

If only because of Pete, she had to be Justin’s wife.

Therefore, she had to suppress Nora in the future. I couldn’t let her be too arrogant in the Hunts.

But now!

Why was there another woman?

What if Miss Smith suddenly became angry and broke off the engagement!

She was anxious inside, but Nora couldn’t be bothered with her. She had already entered Justin’s living room. As soon as she entered, she saw Ruth sitting quietly on the floor. Her hands and feet were already bound, but she wasn’t anxious or nervous. She said confidently, “Mr. Hunt, I dared to come here alone with you because I have the advantage. Your interrogation techniques are useless against me. Unless Black Cat comes in person, no one can make me talk …”
