00:19The presidential fleet's exclusive elevator and the public elevator were positioned side by side.
00:26The former was set further back into the hall. Justin, Pete, and Chester had to walk past the
00:32public elevator to reach the restaurant. Justin strode ahead purposefully, his gaze locked in
00:38front of him. He stood up tall and rigid, had an air of coldness around him. The look on his face
00:46was very frosty, and he held himself in such a way, others their distance from him. Next to him,
00:53Pete, who was a minister of Justin, had adopted the exact same expression, but it was much cuter
01:00on a young child, especially when marching along on the Spider-Man outfit. Chester was a little
01:06less dazzling and was overshadowed by the pair, but he walked beside them energetically. He loved
01:13any opportunity to tag along with Justin and freeload off his boss. Chester was a cheerful
01:19and animated person by nature and liked to look around while he walked. As they walked past the
01:25public elevator, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face and froze when he looked again. He saw a
01:32little face in the crowd that was identical to Pete's. He swallowed hard and slowly looked down,
01:39only to see his nephew right next. He was so shocked that he shouted. 1.5s Justin turned
01:46and looked at him with his bottomless gaze. He was annoyed by his brother's fussing. Chester
01:52pointed to the elevator and said, there's another peep. Chester looked back at the elevator again.
01:59This time, however, he only saw a few adults inside. The child he thought he'd seen was gone.
02:06Erupted his eyes and looked again, but there still wasn't a child in the elevator.
02:11Puzzled, he said, I really thought I thought Pete in the elevator just now. Where did he go?
02:18Worry crossed his face. Oh, no, my condition got worse. Should I get my eyes checked out?
02:25He was getting more and more concerned that he was hallucinating. Justin said coldly,
02:31you should be getting your brain checked out instead. Chester ran his hands through his hair
02:36and shook his head, trying to clear it. After the three of them turned into the hallway to
02:42the restaurant, Jerry, who had been hiding behind a few hotel guests, finally peeked
02:48out and sighed in relief. She had almost been discovered. She darted out of the elevator
02:55and snuck over to the corner. She crept closer just in time to hear the service staff saying
03:01respectfully, Good evening, Mr. Hunt. The Elite Veep room is this way. The Elite Veep room. That
03:11was exactly where her mama told her to go. If Pete was going there, too, everyone would see them
03:17together and the plan to get their mom and dad together would be ruined. They had already reached
03:23the door to the Elite Veep room and were about to open it. It was probably too late to catch
03:28her brother's attention. Harry decided it was still worth a try and shouted hey. Pete was about
03:35to follow his father in when he heard her voice. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned
03:41around. His mouth dropped open in shock when he saw his sister running toward him. In addition to
03:47her already elaborate spider man costume, Cherry had a scarf wrapped around her head and she was
03:54wearing a pair of sunglasses. She looked ridiculous. She didn't care how she looked.
04:01She grabbed his hand and said, You're the boy that lives upstairs, right? Do you have to go in there
04:07with the boring adults? Let's go play on the playground. Pete was confused at first. Then he
04:13understood why his sister had suddenly appeared. They couldn't go inside. It would ruin their plan.
04:20He reacted very quickly and nodded okay. Justin, who was about to open the door back to son,
04:28his eyes narrowed when he saw the child with the scarf wrapped around her head.
04:32With this, Nora's daughter, she seemed like a strange little girl. You could imagine the two
04:39being related. Justin could see his son silently asking for permission with his eyes made him pause.
04:47Justin had never liked Pete associating with strangers, but his son looks so excited and
04:52hopeful. He realized it would be nice for the two children to play together. At last, he said,
05:00Go ahead. There was a small children's playground tucked away in a corner that was designed for the
05:06restaurant's youngest. There were also special service staff there that watched over the place.
05:12One's hotel. Final service and safety standards were of the best quality. That was also the
05:18reason why Nora had been happy to let Sherry walk around the hotel by herself. After the two
05:25children ran off, Justin opened the door to the private room and strode in, leaving only Chester
05:31behind the stand and stare. He could have sworn the kid he spotted in the elevator had been wearing
05:38the exact same spider man outfit. He had to figure out what was going on. He quickly walked
05:46toward the playground, throwing back over his shoulder. Go on inside, Justin. I'll go look
05:52after Pete. Inside the private room, Nora turned her head at the sound of her daughter's voice.
06:00Although there was a door separating them, Nora could still hear what was happening outside.
06:06She stood up and was about to go and see what was going on when the door opened to reveal Jeff.
06:11Faith was handsome and flawless. His deep-set eyes narrowed slightly upon making contact with her.
06:19The corners of his thin lips quivered slightly, and the icra around him slowly melted.
06:26He said, We meet again, Miss Smith. Nora looked away carefully. This must be the person that her
06:33uncle wanted to treat to a meal. That must mean the boy that Cherry invited to play with her just
06:39now was his son. Nora had the opportunity to witness Justin's overprotective behavior of his
06:45son over and over again. It was obvious he worried about him. Cherry was mischievous and had a wicked
06:53sense of humor. Nora worried she might accidentally make the boy cry. Taking care not to sound worried,
07:01Nora said, Let me go over and talk to Jerry for a moment. Mr. Hunt, as she spoke, she brushed
07:08past him. Justin. Smile. Widen. So her daughter's name is Cherry. He thought of the odd nickname his
07:16son had come up with for himself. Harry Pitt. He realized that if you put their names together,
07:22sounded like that nickname. What a coincidence. Out in the hallway, Anthony paced back and forth
07:30anxiously with his hands behind his back. He was trying to think of ways he could create an
07:35opportunity to introduce himself to the Andersons. While he couldn't see any of them walking around,
07:41he did spy a familiar figure. The woman was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans and was dragging her
07:47feet lazily as she walked. She looked half asleep, but even her unpolished appearance couldn't hide
07:53how attractive she was. Anthony couldn't believe he had run into Nora again. He clenched his fists.
08:01During past few days, she had kept popping up in his mind. Upon seeing her again, he was still
08:07captivated by the sight of her. It was then that Anthony finally realized that he had fallen in
08:13love with her. He took a step forward and stood in front of Nora. What are you doing here? Nora
08:19frowned. Her expression grew cold as she looked Anthony up and down. She replied, I don't have to
08:26tell you that. At her short reply, Anthony suddenly lifted his chin and said arrogantly,
08:33Do you know what I'm doing here? His words puzzled Nora. She wasn't interested in why he was there.
08:40However, without waiting for her response, Anthony continued the Andersons from New York
08:45are also here today. I'm here for a business meeting with them. When my family make the
08:51connection with theirs will rise even higher. Become the wealthiest family in California.
08:57If you do what I say, I'd be willing to take you back. Nora wasn't much interested in what Anthony
09:04had to say. I had already begun to tune out the sound of his voice. When he made the comment about
09:10taking her back, she looked up in surprise. What? He replied, I can't make you part of my family.
09:18I forgive you, but your reputation is a mess. We can't get married, but I can buy you a mansion
09:24and take care of you for the rest of your life. She thought it was the most ridiculous thing she
09:30had ever heard. She said sarcastically, You want me to be your mistress? You can't afford me.
09:37He was insulted. I'm rich. I can give you $5,000 for living expenses every month.
09:44You can buy whatever you want with Norris snorted. $5,000 wasn't a small amount, but she knew that he
09:53could afford so much more than that. She was insulted that he thought she would stoop to
09:58accept his offer. She tried to duck around him saying I'm not interested in being someone's
10:04mistress. Anthony stepped in front of her. Keep her there. Oh, so you do want to marry me then?
10:12Well, that that might not be impossible. I might be able to make it happen if that's what you want.
10:19He gritted his teeth and went on. All these years grandpa's been pushing me to marry you.
10:24Why not finally go through with it? Besides, you only have the one daughter.
10:29We can just give her some money and marry her off somewhere in the future.
10:33As long as she's obedient and doesn't get in the way of her future siblings, my rightful heirs.
10:39My family might be willing to consider it. He felt this was a generous offer. There were plenty
10:47of women who would have been grateful for the opportunity. Nora looked angry. I would never
10:52put my daughter in that position, he frowned and said. Don't push it, Nora. You can't expect us to
11:01make your daughter a real gray and treat her like one of us. That moment, sharp voice suddenly
11:08reached them. Nora, are you going after Anthony? Behind my back again, it was Angela storming
11:16across the room toward them. Her arms flailed in the air as she rushed at Nora. I'm going to kill
11:22you. Anthony stopped her and shouted angrily. What are you doing? In the private room, Henry, Wendy
11:29and Anthony's father heard the commotion and came out. Upon seeing the three of them, Henry yelled,
11:35Nora, are you bullying your sister again? Apologized to her. Wendy also spoke up.
11:42Nora, Anthony and her sister are discussing their engagement today.
11:47I know you're unhappy about it, but that doesn't mean you can come over and make trouble.
11:52You were the one that ruined your chances with him by getting pregnant before your marriage
11:56and damaging both families' reputation. Anthony stepped forward. Henry, Wendy, Nora isn't to be
12:04blamed for that. The two of us are truly in love with each other. I'm willing to take her back.
12:11Angela's eyes widened, hurt and sad. She took a step back. Henry was shocked.
12:19Anthony, my daughter, have been stubborn and contrary since she was a child. Don't fall for
12:25this. She ruined her own life. Don't let her ruin your attitude. Wendy also nodded and said.
12:35Besides, her mother's family are poor and insignificant. They even begged us for money
12:41today. Her relatives are trouble. Anthony was still giving Nora love looks. Wendy turned to
12:49Anthony's father and said, Mr. Gray, you have to think carefully about this. We don't want
12:55your family to be implicated. Anthony's father's gaze fell on Nora. She was leaning against the
13:02wall, her posture lazy. Her cat-like eyes were slightly downcast. She seemed to have a half
13:09amused smile on her lips. She looked as if she found the whole thing both entertaining and
13:15entirely nothing to do with her. Anthony's father had been immersed in the business world for many
13:21years. He believed in being practical and using logic. His eyes darkened and he said marriage is
13:28a lifelong commitment. Let the children make their own decisions. Miss Smith, do you really want to
13:36be Anthony's wife? At his words, everyone turned to look at Nora. She was surprised that he had
13:43actually asked to hear her thoughts. Maybe they were finally willing to listen to her.
13:49Nora lifted her head and her lips curled up in a smile. She replied, no, I don't. Everyone was
13:56dumbfounded. Anthony was the first to react. Furious, he demanded, what do you mean by that,
14:02Nora? She straightened her back and said, clearly, I mean that I'm not interested in you.
14:10Anthony looked at her incredulously as if he still didn't understand what she was saying.
14:16Angela, however, shouted, what makes you think you can be so dismissive of Anthony?
14:22You make it sound like he's beneath you. Like you can afford to be picky with that kid you're
14:28dragging around. Anthony finally came back to his senses in his anger. His choice of words was also
14:35very malicious. Nora, who are you interested in? Not me. Everyone who's anyone in California knows
14:42you cheated and got pregnant for our marriage. Apart from me, who else would marry trash like you?
14:50Wendy sighed and said, is that really it, Nora? There's someone else. Don't go reaching too high.
14:57Do you really think you can do what your mother did? It was sheer dumb luck. Someone like her
15:04could marry your father. Even if you are a little prettier than most, anyone with a decent family
15:11background will never take you as their wife. Wendy then changed the subject again and asked,
15:17by the way, are you here for dinner with your aunt? Where is she? Your uncle needs money for
15:24his hospitalization fees, right? Are you sure? On money, just as Wendy hoped. Anthony's father
15:31frowned when he heard this. Suddenly a gentle voice threw the confusion. Who says we don't
15:37have enough money for medical expenses? The group turned for Melissa Anderson approaching them.
15:44The smile on her face didn't reach her eyes. She said, Mrs. Smith, you don't have to worry
15:50about the hospitalization fees. Also, you don't need to bother yourselves with matters regarding
15:56Nora's marriage in the future either. Our family will take care of. Shock. Anthony's father asked
16:03your family, what family is that? Melissa's lips curled up into a smile. Her voice was gentle.
16:11What she said rang through the hall like a thunderclap. The Andersons from New York.
16:17Anthony's father's eyes widened immediately. Even Henry and Wendy were so astounded that they
16:22couldn't say anything. They all stood in shock, wondering if they really had just insulted the
16:28revered Anderson family. While they were hesitating, Melissa fixed her gaze on Anthony again.
16:35After looking him up and down, she shook her head and said, let's go back to the private room,
16:41Nora. Don't keep your blind date waiting. She deliberately emphasized the words blind date.
16:49Nora knew that her aunt was trying to help her. She went along with the lie and nodded. Okay,
16:56the two finally turned around, only to immediately see Justin standing behind them.
17:01His eyebrows were raised and his forehead was wrinkled in confusion, crinkling the mole at the
17:07corner of his eye. Incredulously, he repeated blind date. While the adults were arguing,
17:16Cherry dragged Pete with her and snuck into the stairwell. She took off the scarf to reveal her
17:22face, panting heavily. She said, that thing was suffocating. Good thing we weren't found out,
17:29Pete. Then she saw her brother pause and slowly lift his head. Harry turned around and looked up.
17:38She saw Chester standing there in disbelief with his eyes wide. The hallway outside was
17:43bustling with all kinds of noise. Cherry and Chester all stood silently in the stairwell,
17:49not daring to make a sound. At last, after thirties of staring at them,
17:55Chester pointed at Cherry as if he had seen a ghost and stammered, you, you. Pete pressed his
18:01lips together inside. Since you've seen us, I guess we're going to have to tell you our secret.
18:07He said solemnly, Uncle Chester, I have a superpower. I can create clones. If you don't
18:15believe me, close your eyes. I'll make her disappear. Chester was perplexed. The corners
18:22of his lip spasm. Do you really think I'm that stupid? I'm not falling for that.
18:29Cherry cupped her hands around her mouth and leaned towards her brother. She looked like she
18:34was trying to whisper, but her voice was in no way soft as she asked. So Uncle Chester has a
18:41brain after all. Pete was also puzzled. I'll look it up when I get back. Can single-celled
18:47organisms think? Chester was speechless. Are they talking about me? Then he said triumphantly.
18:54Your superpower? Does that make any sense? Any clones you'd make of yourself would have to be
19:00boys. How would you make a little girl version of yourself, huh? How does that work? He was slowly
19:07realizing that although the child was wearing a spider-man outfit, she might look like a little
19:13boy. It was, in fact, Nora Smith's daughter. Pete was perplexed. I guess single-celled organisms
19:21really do think differently, he thought. The two little kids looked at each other.
19:27Cherry tilted her head and asked, What do we do, Pete? Do we silence him? Pete hesitated.
19:35He's my uncle. We shouldn't do anything bad. Oh, Cherry sounded a little disappointed.
19:42Chester was confused and concerned. He said, I have to tell Justin you have a sister. He has a
19:50daughter. He ran out of the stairwell. Pete hurriedly called out Uncle Chester. However,
19:56Chester didn't slow down. Cherry panicked. She placed her hands on her hips and yelled,
20:02Don't you dare move. Chesty. It was the tone of voice she used when leading raids in their video
20:09game. Chester froze on instinct. Come back here. Chester obediently returned to the stairwell,
20:17squatted down to look Cherry in the eye, exclaimed, You're the game leader. Cherry placed
20:23her little hands under her chin and tilted her head. Yes, that's right. I'm sweet Cherry. Chester
20:32couldn't believe his leader wasn't Pete after all. He had been wrong about so much. He felt very
20:38deceived. Pete blurted out, You can't tell Daddy about his Uncle Chester. Chester was puzzled.
20:47Why is that? They were silent for a moment. Then he said, Think about it. Daddy knew Cherries.
20:55Mom was the one who gave birth to me. What would he do? Chester felt as if his brain cells weren't
21:01working. He said her mom, the one who gave birth to you. Oh, no. Do you mean Nora Smith? Nor is your
21:10biological mother. Chester finally understood why the two children didn't want him to tell
21:15Justin the truth. Five years ago, Justin had suddenly brought a baby back and said that it
21:21was his son. When everyone asked who the child's mother was, he had flown into a rage. He had
21:28strictly forbidden anyone at home from ever mentioning the child's mother. At the time,
21:34they had all wondered what terrible thing the woman had done. Justin had looked as if he wanted
21:38to rip her into pieces every time she was mentioned. Cherry said, Chesty, I want a father
21:45and a brother, but I also want mommy. So we want them to fall in love first before we tell them.
21:52That way we can all be together. Can you keep this a secret?
21:58Chester shook his head. No, I can't keep this a secret from Justin. Cherry instantly transferred
22:05into a grumpy little ogre. If you tell Daddy, I won't bring you on our raids anymore.
22:12Chester was speechless. That's a serious threat.
22:17Melissa, Justin and Nora took their seats in the elite veep room in Awkward Silence.
22:24Melissa looked a little embarrassed. She explained, I didn't mean anything by those
22:30blind date jokes, Justin. I was just trying to help Nora out of an awkward situation.
22:36Please don't misunderstand. The Hunts were family friends with the Andersons,
22:41but that didn't automatically put them on easy terms with Justin. Moreover, he was known for
22:46being a solitary figure. He seemed to avoid dating entirely. Melissa didn't want to offend him.
22:54Justin was staring at Nora. Her eyes were downcast as she stirred the water in her glass.
23:00She looked slightly bored, but her dazzling features and mysterious aura made it impossible
23:05to dislike her. He wasn't angry. He even had a smile at the corner of his eyes. It's all right.
23:14Melissa and Justin chatted politely when Melissa realized that Nora was going to New York with him
23:19the day after tomorrow. She smiled and said, Nora, your uncle and I want to invite you to stay with
23:25us in New York. Her eyes looked sad as she went on. Your grandmother has been crying so much ever
23:32since your mother's disappearance. She's lost her eyesight. She still talks about your mother.
23:38She would be overjoyed to have the chance to speak with you. On first hearing it,
23:43Nora intended to refuse the offer. She didn't need to stay with them. But when she heard how
23:49it would affect her grandmother, she paused and said, OK. Their meal was served after that,
23:56and the three of them began to eat. Justin watched Nora as she attacked her plate. The way she ate
24:02was very interesting to him. He cut her meat into overly large pieces, but she didn't appear crude
24:09or awkward while chewing. Most women that Justin had dined with chewed their tiny bites slowly.
24:15He finished the steak on her plate. Great efficiency. He didn't know that Nora was eating
24:22quickly because she was in a hurry. Nora rarely slowed down for any activity except spending time
24:27with Jerry. Melissa had only taken four bites when Nora placed her cutlery down. Aunt Melissa,
24:35I'm so sorry, but I do have another appointment today. I'm afraid I have to leave you a little
24:41early. Melissa was surprised. Nodded. Nora left the Elite V private room and checked her phone
24:50when she saw Mrs. Saw, Mrs. Lewis text message saying that Jerry had already returned to their
24:56hotel room. She decided not to bother going upstairs to check. He hailed a cab and went
25:03out instead. Although she knew it wasn't appropriate to leave the meal so early,
25:08she really did have another appointment. Two days ago, she had scheduled a meeting with
25:13Wayne Myers, the acting director of Ideally in Pharmaceuticals. Her mother had entrusted
25:19him with the company, and he had managed it for over 20 years. When Nora arrived at the cafe,
25:26Wayne was already there. He stood up in excitement, said, Look at you, all grown up.
25:32How old are you now? 24. If only your mother could see you now, she would be so pleased.
25:40Wayne was a genuine and thoughtful man. He cared deeply about the company, but he understood that
25:47it wasn't really his, and he had always worked with the knowledge and intention of returning
25:51it to Nora. And it was time. Nora nodded slightly and thanks. Then she took a seat and said,
25:58Wayne, I asked you to meet me here today. That I wanted to know if my mother has left me
26:04anything apart from the company, or is there anything within the company that I need to know
26:10about? She had already investigated this herself. He hoped that Wayne might reveal something she
26:17had missed. Ideally in Pharmaceuticals was a small company with an annual revenue of $5 million.
26:24Over the years, the firm had moved and changed its address a few times, but otherwise, there seemed
26:30to be nothing out of the ordinary about it. She didn't quite understand why her father's
26:36family were so hung up over such a small company. Wayne solemnly nodded and answered. Yes, she did.
26:43Nora looked up at him. What did she leave me? Nora's breath caught in her throat.
26:50The company really hiding something? Wayne answered. Nora, your mother didn't just leave
26:56you that pharmaceutical company. She left you her love. Nora was rendered speechless.
27:04What is he talking about? He went on. Although she left us early, she paved the way for you.
27:11She may not be around anymore, but her heart has always been with you. Wayne's speech continued.
27:18Apparently, he had a great deal to say about maternal love, and he was deeply personally
27:23invested in honoring her mother's memory. But Nora had just finished eating a very large meal.
27:30After listening to him for a time, she couldn't help but yawn. Wayne realized that he had been
27:36talking for too long. Forgive me. You're at an appropriate age now. When do you plan to take
27:42over the company? Although he truly cared for her, the company had been devoted to it for many
27:48years now. Wayne knew business really belonged to Nora. He had to return it to her. But Nora replied
27:56with a detached aim, taking care of it pretty well. Can't you just continue with it? Small
28:01company needed an owner who was heavily involved in the day-to-day workings. Nora knew she didn't
28:07have enough time to do the job properly. With her condition, he needed to make sure she was
28:13getting enough rest. Wayne was confused. Nora asked, Have the Grays shown any interest in
28:19buying the company? What the Grays were interested in was the company's developmental potential.
28:26Then there was no need to use Anthony's marital bliss as a bargaining chip. They could just offer
28:32to buy the company at a high price. They had plenty of money. However, Wayne shook his head.
28:40No, they haven't. Nora frowned. He couldn't figure out what they were thinking. There was only so
28:46much time she could waste on trying to figure out their motives. If you can think of anything else
28:52that my mom instructed you to give me, please call me. Sure, he replied. Then he said,
29:00Can I get your bank account number? I'll transfer all the company dividends directly
29:04to you from now on. Nora had been a child when Wayne had first been entrusted with the company.
29:11Then, when she had come of age, she had been living abroad. That was why Wayne had continued
29:17to pay the dividends to her father, Henry. Instead, it was just $5 million. It didn't
29:24mean much to Nora. Then again, she figured, Why should I let Celeste have it? He gave him
29:32her bank account number and left. On the top floor, Howard Hunt sat on the sofa and watched
29:39feet in the study, contemptuously. As of now, the only direct descendants of the Hunt family left
29:47were Justin's immediate family and Howard's immediate family. As a direct descendant of
29:53the head of the family, and the eldest son, Justin, had inherited his position as leader
29:59of the family. However, he set and uncle refused to accept he was constantly causing trouble for
30:05Justin, trying to disrupt his power. Ones that lived in the family home didn't participate in
30:11the family's business. They were only responsible for presiding over family issues. As for Howard,
30:19he was obsessed with martial arts. He despised his family scheming ways and admired Justin from
30:25the bottom of his heart. However, he didn't like Pete. The mystery of his unknown mother bothered
30:32him. Howard thought the whole situation brought shame to Justin's otherwise glorious leadership.
30:39Pete was small and weak and far too quiet. Howard thought something must be wrong with him.
30:47How could he be worthy of becoming just and successful? Howard snorted and withdrew his gaze
30:53disdainfully. The door to the suite opened and Justin strode in. Justin's presence always made
31:01Howard sit up and take notice. He greeted him respectfully. Welcome home, Jack. Justin made a
31:08sound of acknowledgment and asked, What are you doing here? Howard touched his nose nervously
31:14and replied, Grandpa heard that you were going to New York to have your grandma's condition treated,
31:20so he wants me to go with you and act as a witness. While we're there, I also thought I would
31:27see if old Mr. Quinn would be willing to take me in and teach me some traditional martial arts
31:32techniques. From the outside, it might seem like traditional martial arts were falling into decline
31:40as time went by, but Howard knew it was still mysterious masters of the arts out there
31:45to be found with just a matter of knowing where to look. The Quinn School and the Irwin School
31:51ranked top. Traditional martial arts, it was Howard's dream to become an apprentice,
31:57one of the schools we wanted to try Quinn first. Justin glanced at him. He knew the part about him
32:04wanting to join the school was true. He wasn't sure he believed the part about Howard being a
32:09witness to their grandmother's treatment, though. His deep-set eyes looked toward Pete.
32:14He had an idea. Take Pete with you to the Quinn School of Martial Arts. Mr. Quinn is strict when
32:21it comes to enrollment. Though you may not meet his requirements, Pete might have a chance. He
32:28had already had Pete's body assessed when he was a toddler. He had a very suitable build for martial
32:33arts. However, Justin had been reluctant to put his son through a tough training routine
32:40at such a young age, so he hadn't taught him any martial arts yet. He was confused by Pete's
32:45behavior and what it all meant for his future. Pete asked to play with baris and then act confused
32:52when Justin brought dolls for him. Manners change from quiet, confident, and then back again.
32:59Family doctors said Pete thought of himself as a girl. But as far as Justin's son had no idea who
33:06or what he wanted to be or how to say what he wanted clearly, maybe it would be a good idea
33:12to send him to learn from Mr. Quinn. He could learn discipline, develop the confidence,
33:20speak up for himself. Howard curled his lips painfully. He shut up when he noticed a sharp
33:26look Justin gave him. He was scoffing internally, though. With that small and weak body of Pete's,
33:34why would Mr. Quinn ever pick him as a student? While this conversation was happening upstairs,
33:40Nora returned to her suite in the hotel. Her cell phone started to ring. She didn't rush to answer
33:46it. She only picked it up after she had changed into her slippers and found a comfortable seat
33:52on the sofa. She heard angry shouting on the other end. You little rascal. Have you been
33:59slacking off again? Have you been skipping practice? Nora Winston rubbed her ears. Her
34:06instructor's shouting was loud enough to sting. I have to sleep, Queen. I don't have time. Send me
34:13Cherry then. She's your daughter, but she's inherited your physique and skill. I'll take
34:18her as my apprentice and make her my top pupil. Or have you found your son yet? Style is good for
34:25boys to bring them both if you found them. Nora replied mischievously. As the Quinn School of
34:31Martial Arts fallen so far, they rely on a five-year-old to bring them glory. Quinn yelled.
34:38And whose fault is that? It's all because I was blind enough to take someone as lazy as you.
34:43As my apprentice. Erwin Guy keeps showing off his students' accomplishments.
34:49My apprentices can't fall behind. Come to New York, and we will have a showdown. Quinn and
34:55Ervin were longtime rivals in the world of martial arts. Nora rolled her eyes. Not available. Before
35:03Clayton could start shouting again. She added. But I'm coming to New York. I'll bring Cherry up to
35:10visit you. When? What time? I'll send someone to pick you up? Nora chuckled softly at his eagerness.
35:18She held the elderly man's stammer awkwardly. Cherry, I'm thinking about... I miss Cherry,
35:25not you. Nora chuckled again after giving him their arrival, date, and time. She hung up.
35:34She picked up a glass of water from the coffee table, took a couple of tips, and went to take
35:39a shower outside of Nora. Sweet Cherry was spying on her mother. She watched through the gap in the
35:46doorway as Nora drank the water and went to take a shower. She said into the voice chat,
35:53Chesty, Mommy's back. Pete said, Hi, Cherry. I gave Daddy the fake message. He went downstairs
36:01to look for Mommy. Cherry darted into the stairwell. Sure enough, she spotted her dad
36:07coming out of the elevator. When he reached the street and saw that the door was open, he went
36:12straight in. As soon as he entered, Chester dashed over and locked the doors with a huge metal padlock.
36:20After that, he returned to the stairwell and asked, Did you make them drink what I gave you?
36:27Cherry replied, Yes, she drank it. I'll put it in her glass of water. Once Peter also replied,
36:35Daddy drank his too. Chester then said, Perfect. Cherry, your mission now is to prevent Mrs.
36:43Lewis from coming back. Things will definitely heat up between your dad and mom tonight.
36:49Cherry asked suspiciously, What did we just give Mommy and Daddy? Chester grinned.
36:56It's not something kids your age need to know about. It wasn't horrible for Delia. The usual
37:02over. The counterversion had never made a huge difference in Chester's experience,
37:08but he had made sure to splurge on a luxurious upgraded version for this pair.
37:13Inside, Nora. Was she stepping into the shower when she heard a sound?
37:19She wrapped her towel around her and walked out of the bathroom. Called out, Cherry.
37:25Mrs. Lewis, are you back? Just as she finished speaking, saw Justin sitting on the sofa.
37:33Justin had immediately realized that something was wrong when he heard someone locking the door
37:38behind him when he started feeling unwell. Just a few seconds later, he realized that he had been
37:45drugged. There were a lot of people in New York who wanted to get close to him, and they had tried
37:51various methods over the years, which is hard for him to guard against all of them
37:56during a moment of negligence. Six months ago, someone had successfully slipped something into
38:03his drink, but he was fit and strong and careful by nature. The dosage hadn't been strong enough
38:10to subdue him immediately, and he had been able to fight its effects long enough to get out of
38:14danger. He was confident that everything would be fine this time, too. He was only dealing with
38:20Nora. There was no point struggling against the locked door when he heard splashing water coming
38:26from the bathroom. He simply sat on the sofa, intending to see what exactly Nora planned to do.
38:34To be honest, he didn't quite understand her. She frequently made contact with Pete and even
38:40allowed him to call her mommy. It seemed logical to Justin that she intended to use his son to get
38:46near to him. Yet every time he confronted her, she adopted an indifferent attitude.
38:52Sometimes he wondered. He was the one misunderstanding her. Now, suddenly, she was
38:59colluding with his son. Pete had passed her message asking him to come down to the room,
39:04and now he realized he had been drugged. The two of them were locked in here together.
39:11Was she finally going to make a move on him? He was surprised to find it was actually looking
39:16forward to a little. Just as he realized this, the bathroom door opened. A woman walked out,
39:24surrounded by a cloud of hot steam. His gaze started at her small, delicate feet.
39:30Her toes were round and cute. Justin felt his mouth going dry. He knew the desire he was feeling
39:37was due to whatever he had been drugged with, but he was still excited to see her.
39:43Next, he admired her slender ankles. Straight, firm. Carpe diem had dissipated, and Nora stood
39:51there, wrapped in a white bath towel. Because she had just come out of the hot shower, her cheeks
39:58were flushed and her hair was damp. Strands stuck to her slender shoulders as water droplets slid
40:04down her face and collected collarbone before sliding further down and dripping behind the bath
40:10towel. Justin felt a sudden surge of warmth and lower abdomen made his brows draw together.
40:17He felt hot, blood roaring in his ear. He clenched his fists, trying to keep himself
40:24under control. Nora stood and absorbed the sight. Justin's cheeks are abnormally red
40:30with deep-set eyes, was stained with desire. He seemed a little less cold and standoffish than
40:37usual. Her breath caught in her throat. It was alarming to see him like this, but a little
40:43exciting too. Nora frowned and asked, Why are you here? She had only just spoken when he abruptly
40:51jumped up. He dove toward her so forcefully that they both slammed against the wall behind her.
40:58In a low voice, he said, I see you've already gotten yourself ready for me.
41:04Then he lowered his head and started kissing her neck. His hot breath against her damp skin made
41:10Nora shiver. Justin was much taller than her and had to arch down to kiss her. An indescribable
41:18heat permeated her whole body, making her mouth feel dry. Nora had little time for romance,
41:25but she couldn't deny something about this excited her. As a doctor, she knew something
41:31else was going on. She tried to push Justin away, only to find he was very strong. He was still
41:38kissing her neck haphazardly. Nora lifted her right knee and aimed for his groin, but before
41:44she could land a kick, the man's large, scalding hot hands grabbed her ankle. His voice was hoarse
41:52and he sounded puzzled as he asked the meaning of this. Nora snorted coldly. She leapt nimbly
41:59into the air and gave him a roundhouse kick with her left leg. It's just in with fat and blocked
42:05flow. Nora came at him again with a punch upon feeling the sharp momentum of her fist coming
42:11toward him. Justin turned and ducked her other face, then came toward him with a whoosh,
42:17scraping past his ear. Even in the middle of the fight, he couldn't help but admire her.
42:23So fast and after exchanging blows in an exhilarating whirl, they both backed away,
42:29putting some distance between them. Nora frowned, anger glowing in her eyes. She was about to say
42:36something when the bath towel slipped. Suddenly, she felt a chill all over her body. Nora.
42:43Frozen shot. Then she quickly ducked down to pick up the bath towel. It had twisted into a clamp
42:51and she fumbled to untangle it so she could cover herself. When she realized Justin was still
42:56staring at her in astonishment, Nora snatched up the bath towel and flung it into Justin's face.
43:02Justin was about to grab the bath towel and remove it when he heard her shout coldly,
43:08Keep that over your eyes or I will make sure you never leave this room alive.
43:14Justin was astounded. No one had ever threatened him like that in his whole life.
43:19The anger in her voice made him pause. This was supposed to be a seduction. She wouldn't be so
43:25embarrassed. Dropped her towel in front of him, Nora took the opportunity to snatch up a nightgown
43:31from the bathroom. She kept her back to Justin while she pulled it over her body.
43:37I've been drugged. Think you have to. Nora listened carefully to the sounds of Nora struggling to
43:43cover herself. Stop. When he felt certain she was ready, he lowered the towel from his face,
43:49crowned at. Are you trying to say this wasn't you? Corners of Nora's lips caught. Her gaze swept
43:58across him, lingering for just a moment on his groin. As she replied, Don't be too confident
44:05in yourself, Mr. Hunt. Justin was rendered speechless. He folded the bath towel carefully
44:13and held it in front of him in a seemingly casual manner. He asked, If you didn't arrange this,
44:20then who did? He seemed to be back under control, or at least calm enough that he wouldn't pounce
44:26the moment she turned her back. Judging it safe, Nora returned and went to the study.
44:33Wait a minute. She dressed as quickly as she could. Then she picked up her laptop and walked
44:39to the living room. Justin had already returned to the sofa and taken a seat. Although he still
44:46looked rather red in the face, he seemed otherwise fine. It weren't for the bulge of the bath towel
44:52on his lap. He would have seemed like his usual self. Secretly, Nora was impressed with self-control.
45:00Nora had taken so much medication from such a young age that the effects of most drugs were
45:06less strong on her. Otherwise, she may have lost control herself. Justin didn't have her advantages
45:14in this situation, but he had managed to calm himself down. Justin's deep-set eyes flickered
45:21when he glimpsed the thoughtful look in her eyes. You still have time to change your mind.
45:27This. Nora was puzzled. Justin's overconfidence always shocked. She said firmly,
45:34I'm really not interested in you, Mr. Hunt. Even if you were to stand completely naked in front of
45:39me, I still wouldn't feel anything. Justin had to admit, it didn't seem like she was the one
45:46who had drugged him. He was surprised to find he was disappointed, yet he couldn't help mischievously
45:53asking, and yet you were the one who was completely naked just now.
45:58Nora's face tensed up instantly, and she walked straight over to him.
46:03She placed her laptop on the table, opened it, and crushed it in front of him. Justin was taken
46:09aback. What? Hurry and do your count password and check the security cameras. Even if we don't know
46:16who drugged us, you can at least find out who locks the door. Justin didn't like the way she
46:23gave him orders. However, he tapped a few keys, seemingly at random, and then tapped the enter
46:29key. Real-time security footage instantly appeared on the computer. Three people were currently
46:36standing at the door. Their faces were all pressed against, as if trying to hear what was going on
46:41inside. All three of the figures in the image were facing the camera. However, ever since the
46:48twins had realized the truth, they had deliberately started to wear face masks wherever they went,
46:54in the hallways, to prevent anyone from discovering the truth. The camera's resolution was also very
46:59low, so it was impossible to differentiate between the children right away. Nora hesitated for a
47:06moment, then pointed to one of them and said, this one could be Pete. Nora scoffed and said,
47:12that's my dog. To be honest, both of them are exactly the same height, and their mannerisms
47:19are also identical, she thought. Very peculiar. I only recognize Cherry because of the spider
47:26man outfit she's wearing. Unconvinced, Justin asked, are you sure? I can't tell which is which.
