Chapter 732

Who Says I Don’t Have Any Evidence?!

Nora hadn’t even married into the family, yet she was already punishing the Hunts’ servants who had
bullied her son.

To be honest, if news of the incident spread, it really wouldn’t sound very nice,

On top of that, the worst thing was that she didn’t even succeed in doing so, which would only serve to
make it look even more like she was not respected at the Hunts’ residence. This was exactly Roger’s
objective.

He had fought Justin for the position of the head of the family for a lifetime, yet he’d never been able to
obtain the position all this time.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to make trouble for him, Roger was really giving it his all.

He looked at Nora triumphantly and said, “Nora… you may be Justin’s fiancée, but it’s not right of you to
do that! Without any evidence, how can you fire the servants so carelessly? We are no longer in ancient
times. The servants are also humans, we are all equal here. We have signed contracts between us. If
you must fire them, sure. You’ll just have to pay them additional wages as compensation. Shall I ask the
Finance Department to give them the extra wages and then dismiss them?”

Dismissing them with extra wages would be tantamount to admitting that the two servants hadn’t made
any mistakes, but were dismissed purely because Nora didn’t like them.

Should news of it spread, wouldn’t it still end up as Nora abusing her authority?

Those sure were some nice plans that Roger had made.



Nora still looked as calm and dispassionate as ever. Seeing Roger’s stance, she looked straight at the
two servants. With a contemptuous smile on her lips, she asked, “Are the two of you really not going to
take the initiative to resign?”

Lionel and Greg hurriedly shook their heads.

“We really didn’t do anything wrong, how can we resign?”

“Yeah. You can just say so if you don’t like us, Ms. Smith. You can fire us, but surely you can’t be so
bossy as to force us to resign, right?”

The more they spoke, the more aggrieved the two of them became, which attracted people nearby to
gather around them. A group of servants hired by the Hunts had gathered at the back door to the garden
and were watching the excitement.

Roger glanced behind him. His men among the crowd immediately started to fan the flames. He said,
“Ms. Smith, you haven’t married into the family, right? What right do you have to deal with the Hunts’
servants?”

“Yes, besides, servants are also humans. What makes you think you can be so overbearing?” “There’s
equality in the society now, you can’t look down on us! We are just working for the Hunts, there’s no
other relationship between us. Your actions are really disappointing!”

“Yeah! Ms. Smith, you are too much!”

Nora raised her eyebrows and looked at them without speaking.

The dispute quickly reached the few masters of the Hunts.

Soon, Iris came over. When she entered, she immediately reprimanded the servants gathered there.
“What are all of you doing gathered around here? Go and do what you should be doing!”



When the rest of the servants heard her, they subconsciously wanted to leave. However, Roger said,
“You can’t put it that way, Aunt Iris. Aren’t they all servants? They just want to see whether our family will
treat them fairly! The Hunts’ hundred years of good reputation mustn’t be ruined by Nora today!”

Roger’s men also spoke up at once. “Yes, we are going to stay right here. Greg, Lionel, don’t be afraid!
Sometimes, we just have to stand up strong and safeguard our interests!”

“We and the Hunts are just employer and employees, we don’t have a master-servant relationship here!
Make no mistake about it,

guys!”

“Exactly, we are not slaves! Slavery has long been overthrown! It’s the era of peace and democracy
now…”

The rest of the servants were manipulated into thinking that Nora had bullied the servants and was
looking down on them.

As a result, people from the other villas also started to echo them.

The bigger the commotion became, the more people started to gather…

Iris frowned and reprimanded them at once. “It’s working hours right now, what are all of you staying here
for? Go back to your respective workstations at once!”

Although Iris had only moved back into the Hunts’ manor for a few days, with the help of Justin, she had
already taken over the Hunts’ housekeeping rights shortly after she moved back in.



Besides, the woman was simply too beautiful, so much so that she had a unique aura around her.

It made one unable to hate her or dislike her.

Everyone did like listening to their beautiful employer, so they decided to leave. But when they were
about to leave, another voice traveled over: “Iris, now that’s not right of you to say that. Who would still
be in the mood to work when something like this has happened? Haven’t they already all gathered here?
Since that is the case, then, in my opinion, why not just handle this incident in an open and fair
manner?!” Along with the voice, Lauren walked over gracefully.



Her hip twisted from side to side as she walked over. When she came forward in front of the crowd, she
looked at Nora with a smile and asked Iris, “Are you going to protect your daughter-in-law? Or are you
going to protect your employees?”

With a single sentence, she put Nora and all of the Hunts’ servants on opposing sides.

As expected, she sure was impressive.

Nora raised her eyebrows and looked at Lauren.

On the way to the manor, Justin had already told her that ever since Herman came into possession of
the Hunt Corporation’s shares, he and Lauren had moved back into the Hunts’ manor.

In addition, Herman wanted Iris to give up her housekeeping rights to Lauren.

Mrs. Hunt was already very old. While she took the medicine that Nora made, she also turned a blind
eye to all these things.



But because of Herman and the fuss he’d kicked up, Lauren’s speaking rights at home had suddenly
increased.

There were now faint signs that she could contend with Iris.

And sure enough… As soon as she heard that something had gone wrong with Nora, she had hurried
over immediately.

At the sight of her, Iris frowned in disgust. “What do the affairs in Justin’s villa have to do with you?!”

Lauren sighed at once. “Now that’s not right of you to say that, Iris. No matter what, I am still Herman’s
lawful wife, whereas Ms. Smith and Justin are not married yet! Besides, we are all part of the Hunts here,
of course I’d have to be concerned about the Hunts’ reputation! News of Herman and Justin fighting for
shares has already become the talk of the city-that’s not a bad thing, though, because the Hunt
Corporation’s shares have skyrocketed as a result—but at a time like this, we mustn’t allow any negative
news from within the family to become exposed. Things like bullying and oppressing servants and
nannies must not happen. Besides, the servants and nannies are here to help us and take care of us,
everyone is a friend. We mustn’t have arrogant and unreasonable employers who carelessly bully the
servants…”

Her words had completely put herself on the moral high ground.

All the servants around them, no matter who it was, clapped when they heard her.

Iris was very calm. She said, “Don’t you dare sow discord here. When have I ever said that the servants
are treated as lower-class humans? Neither do I have any intentions to suppress them. Lauren, don’t
bother diverting the conflict with your words. The incident today is purely between Nora and those two
people, it has nothing to do with anyone else! Besides, judging from what you said, are you saying that
as long as they are part of the weak and powerless, they will always be right? Even Herman had to be



punished and driven out of the Hunts when he made a mistake back then, let alone them. Everyone is a
human here. Why can’t they be punished when they have made a mistake?”

Iris had never been a coward or someone who allowed others to bully her. She was articulate and
eloquent from the start, and she easily refuted Lauren with just a few words.

Lauren curled her lips disdainfully and sneered, “Iris, you keep saying that they have made mistakes, but
what mistakes did they make? Surely the Hunts can’t drive them out of the house just because Ms.
Smith casually made some false accusations about them without any proof, right? In that case, if I find
someone an eyesore in the future, does that mean I can also casually accuse them of stealing money
without any evidence and then drive them out? Is the labor contract nothing but an ornament?”

Iris scoffed, “Of course it isn’t, neither do I dare treat it as one. However, families have family rules of
their own. Let’s go by the book today!”

“Go by the book? The way I see it, aren’t the rules and regulations here completely dictated by the two of
you? Iris, if you can’t produce any evidence today, then I think you’d better not manage the household
affairs anymore. You’re making too big a mess here!”

Lauren stepped forward and said very arrogantly, “I, however, don’t mind giving myself a little work and
taking care of the family!”

As she spoke, the corners of Nora’s lips curled into a smile. “With the way you twist the truth and how
you condone the servants speculating about their employers, why should you manage the family?”

Lauren scoffed, “You insist that they were speculating about their employers, but what did they say? Do
you have any evidence? The most hateful thing here is you spreading rumors when you don’t have any
evidence! Iris, in my opinion, a daughter-in-law like Nora is simply too unreasonable. You’d better
carefully reconsider the marriage with the Smiths, and not let Justin take such an unreasonable wife who
has the audacity to run amok at home when she doesn’t even have any evidence!”



Just as Iris was about to speak, Nora said contemptuously, “Who says I don’t have any evidence?”
