Since Mr. Livingstone had said such harsh words, Mrs. Hunt instantly trusted his judgment more. She stood out and said, "Alright, listen to Mr. Livingstone on this matter. Nora, I know you also want to help the Hunts and even more so 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."
Mrs. Hunt said to Mr. Livingstone, "Don't lower yourself to her level. Saying that you want to resign is just an angry remark. Don't worry, Nora has neglected you this time. I'll pay you double."
When Mr. Livingstone heard this, he nodded. "Alright! Then now, Miss Smith, follow Howard's thoughts and throw out the gold investment. That's the best choice!"
Nora listened to their conversation and smiled. She knew that Mrs. Hunt had always looked down on her.
Even though she had slapped her face frequently, Mrs. Hunt still felt that Nora had grown up in the countryside and did not know anything.
Therefore, as a result, she also looked down on her "friend."
Nora lowered her head.
After a moment, she looked up with a stern gaze. "No."
She only said one word, but it showed her displeasure very clearly!
Mr. Livingstone frowned tightly. He was so angry that his fingers were trembling as he pointed at Nora.
He had really spent a lot of money to get some information about the global gold price from Wall Street. This was also the capital he planned to use to control Nora this time.
But why was this woman so stubborn?’
He flung his sleeves in anger. "Miss Smith, if you don't throw it away, then wait to lose! Besides, Roger happened to catch your pigtail. Your future doesn't look bright!"
Mrs. Hunt was also anxious. She hit the ground with her walking stick and said, "Nora! I trust you because you're Pete's biological mother, but don't be overconfident! I know that you have good medical skills and might have some powerful connections, but you're not a businessman. You don't know the twists and turns here at all! I think that so-called friend of yours is also a bad friend! You can't trust him completely!"
Bad friend?
Nora sneered and sat 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 gotten married to Justin yet. Legally, I have nothing to do with him. I advise you to be more polite!"
Mrs. Hunt was furious. "Polite? If I didn't support you, how could you be in this position? You're simply killing the donkey after it's outlived its usefulness!"
Nora raised her eyebrows. "Say whatever you want, but I'm the one in charge of the company now! So, stop talking nonsense. I won't throw away this gold! Alright, I'm going to sleep with the three children. Please!" "Sleep?" Mrs. Hunt was even more surprised and anxious. She looked at Nora in disbelief. "It has already come to this, but you still want to sleep? How can you sleep? Don't you care about the Hunts at all?"
Nora could not be bothered to speak anymore.
It was indeed difficult to change opinions. After all, prejudice was difficult to correct.
With this in mind, she stood up and walked to the door to open it. "Please."
They were both from wealthy and respectable families. If Nora was so rude, Mr. Livingstone would definitely lose face. He said angrily, "Okay, okay! Miss Smith, don't blame me for not warning you when you have to compensate me! Don't cry and beg me to come back! I'm not returning!"
With that, he turned and left.
Mrs. Hunt hurriedly followed behind Mr. Livingstone. "Mr. Livingstone? Mr. Livingstone?"
After the two of them left, Nora closed the door with a bang. Only then did she sigh silently.
It was finally quiet.
She walked straight to the bed and climbed up. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the courtyard.
In the end, Mrs. Hunt caught up to Mr. Livingstone, who had no intention of leaving.
They were all managers, but who could be the manager of such a big company like the Hunts? This was almost every manager's dream!
He made such a fuss with Nora just to stay!
Mr. Livingstone deliberately slowed down. Sure enough, he waited until Mrs. Hunt caught up. "Don't go. Nora is young and insensible. Don't take her words to heart!"
A faltering Mrs. Hunt continued walking to her residence. She said, "Humans are never content with what they have. When he was around, I not only wanted him to make concessions for the sake of the company but even wanted him to enter a political marriage. He expanded the company step by step into what it is today all because he loved his grandma, but you know what? Justin's dream wasn't to become a bossy CEO because he is a romantic at heart. I'm the one who shackled him here with my love for him... During the last two days, I have thought a lot and realized that many things I did were wrong. If I could do it all over again, I'd want him to just be alive and happy... What's the use of expanding the company into such a big and powerful one when he isn't even here anymore?"
With a sigh, she left Justin's villa and slowly walked to her own.
After she entered the villa, she felt rather panicked and short of breath.
Fanny brought her the Zabe Corporation's Calming Pills. After taking one, she stared at the pills. At last, she sighed and said, "Never mind, I'll just pay back what I owe Justin to that woman instead!"
After saying that and taking the medicine, the discomfort in Mrs. Hunt's chest was alleviated and she felt a lot better. Only then did she lie down and go to
sleep.
The next day, Mrs. Hunt woke up with a start.
After she opened her eyes, she looked at Fanny and asked, "What time is it?"
Fanny looked at the time. "It's only seven o'clock."
"What time does the stock market open?"
"Nine o'clock."
Mrs. Hunt breathed a sigh of relief. She got out of bed and slowly started to wash up. Just like that, she slowly passed the time until it was nine o'clock. At nine o'clock, she looked at Fanny, only to see her expression changing greatly when she picked up the phone and took a glance at it.
Mrs. Hunt's heart sank at once. Sure enough, the next moment, Fanny said, "The gold price yesterday was $45 per gram, but it has dropped to $32 per gram..."
Mrs. Hunt broke into a huge frown.
Justin had acquired the gold at nearly $63 per gram. With this, it had become a 50% loss for them!
