Chapter 280

Further away, Yvonne and Rachel were dumbfounded.

The two of them had been ready for a good show just now when Nora was surrounded by the group of
men, and when faint rumors of her being a socialite had been spreading.

Once a reputation like that made the rounds, Nora would pretty much be finished! Little did they expect
that Mr.Hunt would openly admit the relationship between the two.

With that, Nora definitely wasn't a socialite anymore...

Because Justin's words, as well as his taste, were the most direct evidence! Their friends nearby were
startled by the news.

Then, gloating looks immediately appeared on their faces.

In fact, they couldn't even quite keep their voices low anymore.

"Nora Smith is actually Mr.Hunt's girlfriend?"

"Oh my god, what a revelation! She's beautiful enough, though!"

"I suddenly thought of something—please let Mr.Hunt subdue a vixen like Nora Smith, lest she brings
harm to other people's husbands!"

",..Oh my god, I also breathed a small sigh of relief.My husband was practically dazzled by Nora Smith
just now! But he can only secretly fantasize about her now.Who would dare to lay a hand on Mr.Hunt's
girlfriend?"

"Hahaha!"

Somecne glanced at Yvonne.



"I already had a vague feeling that something was amiss just now.Why does it feel like Yvonne has
been competing with Nora Smith the whole time today? As it turns out, it's because of that!"

"In other words, Yvonne has been waiting painstakingly for Mr.Hunt for over twenty years, but in the
end, he doesn't want her at all?"

"I suddenly find her a little pitiful.Nora Smith has stolen all the limelight today…”

But this means that Mr.Hunt must have been the one who borrowed the gown for her.

Nora has totally suppressed Yvonne!"

"...Shh, keep your voice down.She's heard you..."

"So what even if she hears me? She's just the Smiths’ adopted daughter.Does she really think she's a
real young lady of the Smiths?"

The few of them gradually walked away.

Yvonne clenched her fists tightly and tried her best to suppress her anger.

She mustn't make a faux pas under such circumstances! She would also make up for the
embarrassment she had just suffered in a while! Rachel had also heard the few women's
conversations.

She looked at Yvonne but saw that she looked calm and was still smiling gently.

She couldn't help but sigh in admiration inwardly.

Ms.Smith sure had outstanding mental resilience! Why should Nora Smith get to show off so much,
though? Just as everyone was entertaining their own thoughts, Mrs.Hunt, the elderly birthday girl,
finally made her appearance.



She sat at a higher position and looked at everyone with a kindly look on her face.

One by one, everyone started to present her with gifts and pay her compliments.

The elders went first.

Starting with Raymond, people went forward one by one to offer her their well wishes.

After the Hunts were done, it was the guests’ turn.

By right, the Smiths should have been the first.

But because of Justin's official announcement, the Andersons’ status had risen accordingly.

In fact, he even personally led Melissa, Nora, and the others forward.

Everyone's gazes instantly fell on them.

Rachel, who was next to Yvonne, sneered at the sight.

She said, "It doesn't mean a thing no matter how much Mr.Hunt favors them.Aren't they unable to
present a decent birthday gift all the same?"

The juniors’ gifts were all in her hands.

The larger ones were already placed beside, and the smaller ones were sent to the gift section after
their congratulations.

During the gift-giving process, Mrs.Hunt would keep what she liked.

For example, she liked a longevity painting very much and could not bear to let it go.

Someone asked, "Mrs.Hunt, who gave this to you? Why do you like it so much?"



Mrs.Hunt smiled and glanced at Nora.

When she was upstairs earlier, she had witnessed everything downstairs and also saw Justin expose
their identities to save her face.

She felt even more unhappy.

At this moment, she lowered her eyes and said very seriously, "My great-grandson Peter Hunt drew it!"

Peter Hunt...

This was the first time this name had appeared in front of the public! At first, no one realized who it
was, but Mrs.Hunt continued to explain.

"He's Justin's son!"

Son! It turned out that many years ago, Justin’s illegitimate child was a son! Over the years, that child
had been a secret and had been protected very well by Justin.

The others did not even know if he was a man or a woman.

However, at this moment, Mrs.Hunt had given everyone the evidence! She was giving Pete a lot of
face.

Of course, this behavior was to reassure everyone.

She wanted everyone to know that Young Master Pete's status would not change just because Mr.Hunt
had a girlfriend...

Before this, Pete had never appeared in front of everyone! Of course, he had not appeared yet, but at
least his name had already spread among the high society.



When everyone heard this, they all looked at Justin and Nora.

Mrs.Hunt's intentions were too obvious.

Everyone understood.

They originally thought that Nora would look a little ugly, but the two of them actually had an indifferent
attitude.

Justin was a man.

As long as the future heir was his son, he could do whatever he wanted.

However, Nora did not care at all? After everyone had looked at her highly, they could not help but look
down on her now.

Rachel smiled as well and said to Yvonne, "Did you see that? Mrs.Hunt is warning her publicly.She's
telling Nora to be obedient!"

Yvonne lowered his eyes and did not speak.

However, Rachel became smug.

"So what if she's with Mr.Hunt? She still doesn't have any status in the family!"

As she spoke, Justin led Melissa to Mrs.Hunt.

Rachel instantly became even more excited.

"The Andersons are in dire straits now.Their family can't even afford a decent gift, right?"



As she thought about this, she heard Melissa say, "Mrs.Hunt, today is your birthday.The Andersons
wish you good fortune and longevity.”

After saying this briefly and elegantly, she said, "We have prepared a small gift here.I hope you'll like it"

After saying that, she looked at Nora.

Nora raised her eyebrows and handed her a box of pills.

Mrs.Lewis took a step forward first.

She was very respectful in front of Justin and everyone else.

After all, she could not lose the Hunt family's face.

The others saw the iron box without a label.

Nora originally wanted to use a paper box, but Melissa felt that it looked too ridiculous.

Therefore, she had changed to the iron box.

However, even so, it was still too shabby in the eyes of outsiders.
