Chapter 753

Press Conference

Mrs. Hunt immediately rebuked Lauren angrily. “What kind of explanation do you want from them? Nora
didn’t grow up with the Smiths at all, what kind of responsibility would possibly lie with the Smiths? Don’t
talk nonsense! Even if the engagement is called off, the cooperative relationship between the two
families will not change! After all, the children belong to both of them. They are also Smiths’
grandchildren!”

The Hunts weren’t trying to curry favor with the Smiths. However, if her grandson had the Smiths’
support, then he would have a much easier time in the future.

The moment Justin defeated Herman, Mrs. Hunt had sided with Justin.

Although she knew that a rift had already formed between her and her grandson the moment she
stepped forward to defend Herman, everything she did was for the good of the Hunts.

Justin could be said to have been brought up by Mrs. Hunt. Her feelings for her son and grandson were
the same.

Now, she would support whoever was more capable.

Take, for example, Raymond. He was also her son, but she had still sided with Justin without any
hesitation back then.

Lauren curled her lips disdainfully.

However, she did not dare to refute Mrs. Hunt. In this family, only with the old lady’s approval would she
be able to go further.



She said, “Yes, yes, you’re right. Nora is not equivalent to the Smiths… I’m just afraid that the Smiths will
fight for the custody of the children once they call off their engagement.”

As soon as she said that, Mrs. Hunt’s brows drew together tightly and she subconsciously said, “Pete
mustn’t be given to them!”

But right after that, she hesitated. “Cherry likes her father, so she should also stay. We should respect
the children’s wishes!”

Lauren sighed. “Ian Smith is not someone who will compromise easily.” Mrs. Hunt sneered, “The Smith
Corporation now belongs to Joel Smith. Will he want Pete to go there and compete with his children for
the family’s assets?”

Lauren, however, was still embellishing the story. “But Ian is still around…”

Mrs. Hunt looked at her sharply. “It’s precisely because Ian is still around that we should talk it out with
them properly! Everything is negotiable! However, the fault doesn’t lie with us in this matter!”

She looked straight at Nora. “You know very well what you’ve done out there. You have let the Hunts
down! Especially when you can’t even clean up after yourself properly, causing the whole thing to blow
up so badly. You’re such a good-for-nothing!”

Mrs. Hunt was right.

If the matter wasn’t exposed to outsiders, then even if she felt frustrated about it, she could still bear with
Nora.

After all, it was always better for such scandals to be covered up. But now that it had been exposed, she
would have to see that the matter was dealt with!



The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. The way she was looking at Nora was
as if she wanted to rip her apart. “You’re so shameless and an utter disgrace! Ugh!”

S mon

Nora ignored her. She was more than happy to watch the two act like clowns.

However, when Mrs. Hunt suddenly verbally attacked Nora, Justin would have none of it. His expression
darkened and he said, “Grandma, you shouldn’t be so bitter towards Nora when it’s not clear what is
going on

yet!”

“It’s not clear what is going on yet?” Mrs. Hunt looked at him furiously. “You actually know very well that
she cheated on you, don’t you? Are you still playing dumb with me about what is going on? They’ve even
found out who she cheated with by now! Yet you are still telling me that it’s not clear what is going on
yet? Justin, why have you suddenly become so muddleheaded?!”

Justin lowered his gaze. “Grandma, you’re the one who’s being muddleheaded!”



Lauren interjected, “Let’s have a good talk about who the muddleheaded one really is today. Nora, I have
a question for you: The rumors on the Internet are so vivid and convincing, so was Q in that villa you
visited or not?!”

Nora raised her eyebrows. She’d just woken up, so her lips were a little dry. She licked them a little
before she slowly replied, “Yes, Q was there.”

Lauren scoffed, “There we go.”

Justin looked at her and said unhurriedly and dispassionately, “I was also in the villa.”



Lauren scoffed. “Justin, are you still defending her when things have already come to this point? You
were also in the villa? What were you doing there? Surely you weren’t there just to watch them cozy up
to each other, right? Or perhaps you’re trying to say that Q was only staying there temporarily? Why
does Q have to stay in Nora’s villa when the Smiths own so many houses?

“Don’t bother coming up with some kind of excuse that Q is a security guard or something, either. Would
Q act as a security guard for you guys when he’s such an amazing hacker?! Stop your poorly disguised
attempts to cover up the truth!”

Mrs. Hunt also spoke earnestly. “Justin, don’t defend her anymore. I know what you are worried about.
Don’t worry, I will give you my shares. With Grandma here, I won’t allow your father to overwhelm you
again! As for the Smiths… Let’s move on. There is no need for you to suffer such grievances!”

Mrs. Hunt’s heart was truly aching over him. She thought that her grandson was only putting up with it
because of either the Smiths or the children.

After all, Justin was a man of great forbearance.

At this point, the butler came in. When he saw them, he paused for a while before he said, “Sir, there are
some reporters outside. They would like to interview you about… Ms. Smith’s ch… going out on a date.”

As soon as he said that, Lauren curled her lips disdainfully and said, “Look at what’s happening, it’s to
the point that even the reporters are here! The Hunts have really embarrassed themselves! Justin, are
you still going to protect that woman?”

Mrs. Hunt also said, “Justin, you have to be firm and decisive. Go out and tell the reporters right away
that you’re calling off the engagement!”

Justin looked at Nora. When he saw her giving him a slight nod, he said, “Take the reporters to the
reception hall.”



“Yes, sir.”

The butler left to make the arrangements. They were going to hold a small press conference in the
reception hall at home.

“Justin, you haven’t become totally muddleheaded, after all!”

Mrs. Hunt breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Nora and said, “Let’s go over together! We’ll make
things clear today!”

She took the lead.

Nora and Justin followed behind her leisurely.

Lauren suddenly came up to Nora and asked with a soft laugh, “Ms. Smith, I know it’s not appropriate of
me to ask something like this, but is Q good-looking? I can’t help it; master hackers like Q and Y are
simply too mysterious, so I’m really curious!”

Even though she claimed that she was asking out of curiosity, she was merely trying to bring up Q to
disgust Justin!

She’d thought that Nora would be evasive about the topic, but unexpectedly, Nora actually thought about
it for a while before she answered, “Yeah, Q is handsome.”

Lauren: “?”

Was the situation already so bad to Ms. Smith that to make it worse made no real difference to her?

She took the opportunity to ask, “He is? I don’t believe you, surely he can’t be more handsome than
Justin, right?”



Nora glanced at Justin. Her lips curled into a smile and she replied, “Yeah, I think Q is more handsome
than him.”

After speaking, she even raised her eyebrows, looked at Justin, and asked, “What do you think?”

Lauren: “?”

Nora must be out of her mind! To think she had even ripped off the very last bit of decency. She was in
for a good show later!
