Chapter 785



.

As Mr. Livingstone had spoken such harsh words, Elder Mrs. Hunt instantly trusted his judgment more. She stood up and said, “Very well, listen to Mr. Livingstone in this matter. Nora, I know you want to help the Hunts too and even more so to help Pete protect the Hunts, but you have to keep your eyes open and not let others find any loopholes. It’s best not to trust your so-called friend so easily.”

Elder Mrs. Hunt told Mr. Livingstone, “Don’t stoop to their level. That Nora wants you to resign is nothing more than an angry comment. Don’t worry, Nora has neglected you this time. I’ll pay you double.

When Mr. Livingstone heard this, he nodded. “Very well! So now, Miss Smith, follow Howard’s thoughts and get rid of the gold investment. That’s the best option.”

Nora listened to their conversation and smiled. She knew that Elder Mrs. Hunt had always looked down on her.

Despite slapping her in the face frequently, Elder Mrs. Hunt still thought Nora had grown up in the country and knew nothing.

So, as a result, she too looked down on her ‘friend’.

Nora lowered her head.

After a moment, she looked up with a stern look. “No.”

She said only one word, but it showed her displeasure very clearly. Mr. Livingstone frowned sharply. He was so angry that his fingers trembled as he pointed at Nora.

He had really spent a lot of money to obtain information about the global price of gold on Wall Street. This was also the capital he intended to use to control Nora this time.

But why was this woman so stubborn?

He shook out his sleeves angrily. “Miss Smith, if you don’t get rid of the investment, expect to make a loss! Besides, Roger saw his fate this time. His future will not be bright.”

Elderly Mrs. Hunt was also anxious. She tapped the floor with her cane and said, “Nora! I trust you because you are Pete’s birth mother, but don’t overestimate yourself. I know you have good medical knowledge and you may have powerful contacts, but you are not a businesswoman. You don’t know your way around in this area at all! I think that so-called friend of yours is a bad friend too! You can’t trust him completely.”

Bad friend?

Nora grimaced and sat down on the sofa behind her. Then she said, “Mrs. Hunt, I respect you as Justin’s grandmother, so I’m still being polite to you. But actually, I haven’t married Justin yet. Legally, I have nothing to do with him. I advise you to be more polite.”

Elder Mrs. Hunt was furious. “Educated? If I didn’t support you, how could you be in this position? You are simply killing the donkey after he has helped to overcome the difficulty!”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “Say what you want, but I’m the one in charge of the company now! So stop talking nonsense, I’m not getting rid of this gold! Okay, I’m going to sleep with the three kids – see you later!”

“Sleep?”

Elder Mrs. Hunt was even more surprised and anxious. She looked at Nora in disbelief. “We’ve come to this, but do you still want to sleep? How can you sleep? Don’t you care about the Hunts at all?”

Nora couldn’t be bothered to keep talking.

It was really hard to force someone to change their mind. After all, prejudices were hard to correct.

With this in mind, she got up and walked to the door to open it. “See you later.”

They were both from wealthy, respectable families. If Nora was so rude, Mr. Livingstone would be embarrassed. He said angrily, “All right, all right! Miss Smith, don’t blame me for not letting you know when you have to make it up to me – don’t cry and don’t beg me to come back – I’m not coming back!”

With that, she turned and left.

Elder Mrs. Hunt hurried after Mr. Livingstone. “Mr. Livingstone? Mr. Livingstone?”

As the two left, Nora closed the door with a bang. Only then did she sigh quietly.

At last there was silence.

She went straight to the bed and climbed in. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the courtyard.

In the end, Elderly Mrs. Hunt caught up with Mr. Livingstone, who had no intention of leaving.

They were all managers, but who could be the manager of a company as big as the Hunts? This was the dream of almost every manager.

He made such a fuss with Nora just to stay!

Mr. Livingstone deliberately slowed down. And, indeed, he waited for Elder Mrs. Hunt to catch up with him. “Don’t go away. Nora is young and unfeeling. Don’t take her words to heart.”

Mr. Livingstone pretended to be proud. “Mrs. Hunt, it’s not that I don’t want to help. On your orders, I resigned from my present job and reported here. But, as you can see, I am really unfortunate to have such an arrogant boss! I really can’t be the Hunt Corporation’s special assistant.”

Elder Mrs. Hunt frowned. “Mr. Livingstone, look, why don’t I give you five times your salary?”.

Mr. Livingstone shook his head. “It’s not about the salary. It’s just that if Miss Smith keeps going against me and won’t listen to me, even if I can create a plan to elevate the Hunts to the heavens, she won’t follow through. Heavens.”

Elder Mrs. Hunt sighed. “She is young and has never held such an important position. There are so many people at home who look at her with greed…”

After Elder Mrs. Hunt said this, she thought of the Hunt Corporation and Justin. Her chest began to ache.

Her eyes were red. “Don’t worry about her, how about this? I don’t think there’s anything else we can do with the gold. Let her suffer through this. At the same time, I’ll let her know how powerful you are. She will be obedient in the future.”

Lord Livingstone frowned. “But if he doesn’t listen to me this time, he will have to take the consequences. At that point, her prestige in the company will fall. How will I be able to help her then?”

Mrs. Hunt lowered her head. “Don’t worry. I will make up for the loss of 50 million.”

This sentence caused Mr. Livingstone’s eyes to widen as he said incredulously, “What?”

“I’ll make it up.” Elder Mrs. Hunt said firmly, “I have 300 million in cash. If the company insists on the matter, I’ll make it up. Justin was the one who bought the gold, it has nothing to do with her. Please don’t stoop to his level, Mr. Livingstone.”

When Mr. Livingstone learned that Elder Mrs. Hunt could easily use $50 million, he was even more tempted.

He compromised. “Very well, Miss Smith is really lucky. You are very good to her.”

After Mr. Livingstone left, Elder Mrs. Hunt stood and sighed quietly.

Fanny stood behind her and said, “Mrs. Hunt…”

Elder Mrs. Hunt sighed. “In the past, I heeded the old man and put Justin as leader. However, after Justin left, I realized that humans still have feelings for those who leave… the only thing I can do for him is to protect the woman and children he loves the most…”
