00:00:24Joel saw her grave expression and put down his fork. He stared at her.
00:00:30What? His heart suddenly pounded violently. He didn't know what Tanya was going to say,
00:00:36much less what she was thinking, but he suddenly felt that what she was going to
00:00:41say next was very important. Tanya looked at the man and said impulsively,
00:00:46We had a... The word tiled hovered around her mouth for a moment, but she could not say it.
00:00:53Joel was stunned. What? He searched his memory hard. They had an agreement. An oath or what?
00:01:02He was afraid that he would anger the girl in front of him if he did not remember. Tanya opened
00:01:07her mouth. She suddenly thought of the parents who had been searching for their children overseas.
00:01:13Some others broke down and some fathers were very calm.
00:01:17However, she had seen them turn around and cry secretly in a corner. After comforting their
00:01:23wives, she suddenly asked, You love me very much, right? Joel did not know why she had
00:01:29suddenly changed the topic, but he still followed along and said, Yes, I love her very much.
00:01:36He suddenly reached out and held her hand. I know that I will never let you down in this matter.
00:01:42Her existence is something I cannot control, but her existence makes me feel warm. Tanya,
00:01:50that is a kind of satisfaction from family ties. You understand me, right? How could Tanya not
00:01:58understand? After all, she and Joel were both children who lacked love. Even though Joel was
00:02:04born in the Smiths, his parents did not like him. There was even a time when they thought of
00:02:09abandoning him, making him feel very insecure. As for Tanya, after her mother remarried,
00:02:17she lost her home when the two of them walked together. Back then, didn't it feel like they
00:02:23were hugging each other for warmth? That was why she was so happy when she gave birth to that little
00:02:29angel and thought that she finally had a family in this world and someone with her blood. That
00:02:35was why she had searched the entire world for her child like a madman without even having seen
00:02:40the child. Once, when Joel saw that she was in a strange mood, he mistakenly thought that Tanya
00:02:47would mind if he mentioned Mia. He thought about it and said, I know it's very selfish of me to
00:02:54make you accept Maya, but Tanya, Mia is really a very obedient child. You'll fall in love with her.
00:03:02Really, he was afraid that Tanya would suggest sending the child away, no matter how much he
00:03:08loved Tanya. He could not do that. After all, he was a father. Seeing that he had misunderstood,
00:03:16Tanya waved her hand and said, that's not what I meant. As soon as she said this, Joel,
00:03:22he dose of relief. It was obvious how much he liked Maya. Tanya asked again, do you like children?
00:03:30Joel nodded. Of course, if it was our child, I would like it even more. These words made Tanya's
00:03:38heartache again. She lowered her head and took a bite of noodles. The hot noodles slid into her
00:03:44mouth, but she took another bite as if she did not know it was hot. She ate mouthful after mouthful.
00:03:52When she was done, she looked up. Joel probed. What did you say we have? Tanya took out a tissue
00:04:00and wiped your mouth before replying. It's nothing. Joel immediately tried to recall
00:04:06any vow the two had made. However, after thinking for a while, he still could not remember it.
00:04:13After he ate the noodles, Tanya took his bowl and washed it in the kitchen.
00:04:18Then she said, it's getting late. You should go back, Joel. He actually did not want to leave
00:04:25tonight. But since Tanya had said so, if he insisted on staying, it would only make Tanya
00:04:31feel annoyed at the thought of this. Joel decided that he had to take things slow and not get things
00:04:38done in one go. He took out his car keys and walked slowly to the door. Good night. Good night.
00:04:46Good night, Tanya replied softly. In the kitchen, she heard Joel walk to the door and stand there
00:04:53for a long time. Finally, he pushed the door open. When she heard the door closed with a bang,
00:05:00she turned off the tap. She stood in the kitchen for a long time before walking out,
00:05:05looking at the neat apron hanging in the living room. She thought of Joel's awkward personality
00:05:10and couldn't help but lower her eyes. She sighed heavily and went upstairs.
00:05:17She lay on the sofa and quietly stared at the night sky. She did not know where her child was
00:05:23in the world right now, if he was hungry or if he had any clothes to wear. She did not know how long
00:05:29she was thinking. When her phone suddenly rang, she picked it up and took a look. It was a call
00:05:36from Hillary. She picked up the call and Hillary's calm voice was heard. Are you two still together?
00:05:45Tanya sneered and said softly, Yes, he's taking a shower. Why? You're lying. Hillary suddenly
00:05:53smiled and said, I just called Mia and she said, Dad has come home. Tanya, I'm warning you,
00:06:00stay away from Joel, even if you seduced him now and he still likes you. Mia is the person
00:06:07he loves the most. Tanya clenched her fists. She lowered her eyes before she could say anything.
00:06:14Hillary said, Mia is everything to him. So what if you two still have feelings for each other at
00:06:20the end of the night? Won't he still go home obediently and coax the child to sleep? Tanya,
00:06:27if you know what's good for you, you better leave him. Tanya's voice was very low.
00:06:33What if I don't? You don't. Do you know that everyone outside knows that he and I are engaged
00:06:40and that Mia is our daughter, Miyazaki? He won't even announce our separation to the public in
00:06:46front of outsiders. I will always be Madame Smith. And you, Tanya, are just one of his lovers.
00:06:54What makes you think your status is enough to make him give up his reputation?
00:06:59The Jones, after Hillary shouted this in anger, she finally felt at ease. She sneered and said,
00:07:06no matter what, I will always be the wife and you are just a mistress, just like it was back then
00:07:13and the daughter of a wealthy family. And you're just a fake daughter. With that, she hung up.
00:07:20She had been chased out of the Smiths for so long. There were many guesses outside,
00:07:25but because of Mia, the Smiths had never spread the news that they had broken off the engagement.
00:07:31She wanted to use this matter to agitate Tanya and let her know that she was nothing to Joel.
00:07:38Any woman would mind this right. As she was thinking about this,
00:07:42the doorbell rang. The servant went to open the door and exclaimed in surprise,
00:07:47Mr. Smith. Hillary was stunned. She turned around and saw Joel walking in from the door.
00:07:54It was already so late. Why was he at the Jones residence? Hillary recalled that when she called
00:08:00Tanya today, Joel was also there. Later on, he did not pursue the matter. But now he was here.
00:08:08Her heart sank, but her face was still filled with smiles as she walked over.
00:08:13Joel, you're here. When the Joneses heard the servant's words, they hurriedly walked down from
00:08:19the study upstairs to welcome him. Mr. Smith, what brings you here? If there's anything you need,
00:08:26you can call us to the Smiths. Joel was still smiling. His eyes were curved, and when he did
00:08:32not speak, he looked very gentle, like a smiling tiger. However, Hillary could see the coldness
00:08:40in his eyes. She swallowed and jolted. Joel looked at her and slowly said, I came personally today
00:08:47because I thought that after my engagement with Miss Hillary was broken off, she seemed to have
00:08:52been dishonest. As soon as he said this, Hillary's father was stunned. He looked directly at Hillary.
00:08:59What? When did you guys break off the engagement? Joel lowered his eyes and said indifferently,
00:09:06why didn't Miss Hillary tell you? Hillary had been chased back this time and stayed for a few
00:09:12days now, but she had not mentioned the engagement at all. Mr. Jones looked at Hillary. Hillary,
00:09:19what's going on? Madam Jones, said Mr. Smith, did Hillary do something wrong to make you angry?
00:09:27Tell us, we'll get her to change. How can you suddenly call off the engagement?
00:09:32Joe looked at Madam Jones, to be precise. She was also Tanya's mother. Back then,
00:09:39Tanya's mother had remarried and given birth to Hillary. Hillary was a year younger than Tanya,
00:09:45but their identities were completely different. One was a burden who had been brought along into
00:09:51her marriage with a wealthy family, and the other was a daughter of a wealthy family.
00:09:57Hillary had looked down on Tanya since she was young. As for Tanya, she had a stubborn personality.
00:10:03After being slandered by Hillary a few times, Madam Jones had determined that Tanya's personality
00:10:09was naughty and mischievous, like that of her father, who had disappeared. Therefore,
00:10:15she would hit and scold her. Joel's attitude toward Madam Jones was distant and cold.
00:10:22He did not bother being polite with her. Madam Jones, you can discipline her further
00:10:29for her mistakes. Now we're talking about breaking off the engagement.
00:10:34He took out the agreement he had signed with Hillary back then. In the agreement back then,
00:10:40we said that when Mia turns five, the engagement would be automatically broken off. Now it's time.
00:10:48The Jones parents were stunned. They looked at Hillary in disbelief. Hillary, you… Hillary
00:10:54bit her lip and cried, Joel, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I didn't go looking for Tanya
00:11:02on purpose. I was just indignant. You chased me out of the Smiths because she suddenly returned,
00:11:09right? Tanya? Madam Jones instantly became even more furious. What do you mean?
00:11:16Did Tanya cross into your family again? Joel, you can't treat Hillary like this.
00:11:22Tanya was born to be a bad hooligan. As soon as she said this,
00:11:26Joel suddenly reached out and smashed the teacup on the table to the ground. Smash.
00:11:33The sound of the teacup shattering resounded throughout the living room, causing the crying.
00:11:39Hillary and Madam Jones, who was scolding Tanya to stop abruptly,
00:11:43everyone looked at Joel in disbelief. Joel lowered his eyes. I've already contacted the
00:11:50reporters. They will announce that I have broken off my engagement with Miss Hillary tomorrow.
00:11:55As soon as he said this, Mr. Jones said, Mr. Jones said, Mr. Smith, is there no room for
00:12:03change in this matter? Joel looked at him and said firmly, no. Mr. Jones sighed heavily.
00:12:13Hillary and Madam Jones still wanted to say something, but Mr. Jones shook his head at them.
00:12:19The two of them could only shut their mouths. Mr. Jones began to complain. Mr. Smith,
00:12:25we understand that you don't like Hillary. We won't force you. We can break off the engagement.
00:12:32But Maya is her biological daughter. You can't stop them from meeting Hillary.
00:12:37And Madam Jones looked at each other. Yes, as long as Maya was still around,
00:12:42Hillary could interfere in Joel and Tanya's lives. As long as she could, Joel and Tanya
00:12:49could forget about living a quiet life. Hillary clenched her fists tightly. She was already
00:12:55thinking that if Mia fell ill in the future, she would definitely have to stay with the Smiths
00:13:00and take care of her. If Maya was hurt, she would definitely ask Tanya why she abused her child as
00:13:06she was thinking about her future plans. Joel seemed to have seemed to her thoughts and said
00:13:12directly, yes, I won't stop them from meeting every six months. I'll send Mia overseas to meet
00:13:19with Miss Hillary. Mr. Jones was stunned. Hillary was stunned. Go overseas. You don't have to go
00:13:26overseas. I'm just in the country. You don't have to send me anywhere. I can just meet her
00:13:32at the Smiths. However, the moment she said this, she heard Joel say, after our engagement is broken
00:13:40off, you'll be in a bad mood and we'll go overseas for a vacation. You won't accept our financial
00:13:46support and we'll travel for five years. After five years, you can return to the country. Mr.
00:13:53Jones was stunned. She won't accept financial support. Then how is she going to live? Joel
00:14:00glanced at Mr. Jones and said casually, aren't so many international students still alive?
00:14:06Madam Jones shouted angrily, no. Hillary has never suffered like this in her entire life.
00:14:13She can't go overseas. She had never suffered before, but Tanya could suffer. Joel had
00:14:20investigated before. Tanya did not have any living expenses overseas. Everything was earned
00:14:28by working part-time. His attitude was still very calm and there was even a smile on his face.
00:14:34He looked directly at Mr. Jones. President Jones is the collaboration between the Joneses and
00:14:40Smiths going well. Mr. Jones, he immediately understood that Joel was threatening him.
00:14:47If they did not send Hillary away, the Smiths would terminate all cooperation with the Jones.
00:14:53The Joneses had been prospering these years because they had relied on the Smiths after
00:14:58leaving the Smiths. Joel would definitely let everyone in New York know that the Joneses had
00:15:04offended him at that time. Even without Joel personally making a move, someone might help
00:15:09him deal with the Joneses. He gulped and hurriedly stood up. I understand what you mean, Mr. Smith.
00:15:17I'll handle Hillary's matters here. She'll go overseas. Joel stood up. It's good that Mr.
00:15:24Jones understands. I'll leave then. He did not even look at Hillary as he left the house.
00:15:31Hillary was stunned on the spot. Five years. Another five years. Tanya had been overseas for
00:15:38more than five years. Hillary understood. Joel had arranged everything for her. He was going to
00:15:45send her overseas for five years to help Tanya vent her anger. She roared. Joel, I gave birth
00:15:53to Maya for you. How can you treat me like this? Joel stopped in his tracks and turned to look at
00:16:00her. If you hadn't given birth to Mia, do you think you would have had the chance to go overseas?
00:16:08Upon hearing this, Hillary jolted. She swallowed. Maya was her protective charm at the Smiths.
00:16:17After Nora finished showering, she walked out and saw Pete standing there looking at her.
00:16:22Seriously? Mommy, we're going to the amusement park to play tomorrow. Can we bring me along?
00:16:30Nora asked why. Pete said, I didn't even know it was Mia's birthday yesterday.
00:16:36I didn't give her a gift either. I want to take her out to play tomorrow. Birthday.
00:16:42Nora was stunned. She remembered clearly that Tanya's child's birthday was five days ago.
00:16:48Mia was only five days away from that child's birthday. Was this a coincidence? She narrowed
00:16:55her eyes. Was Maya really Hillary's daughter? The reason why Nora knew about the birthday of
00:17:01the children was that on that day every year, Tanya would be in low spirits when she was
00:17:07overseas. No matter where Nora was, she would always be by Tanya's side. On this day, the two
00:17:15of them did nothing. Nora would sleep while Tanya would be in the room, dancing to the birthday gift
00:17:22she had bought long ago. Usually when she woke up, Tanya would be covered in sweat, but she would not
00:17:29feel tired. If she continued like this, she would eventually collapse. Every year, she would fall
00:17:37seriously ill. It was as if she wanted to use this method to vent her longing for her child for the
00:17:42next year. Therefore, Nora remembered her child's birthday very clearly. She couldn't help but doubt
00:17:50me as identity. Tanya's child and Mia were both Joel's children. Furthermore, they were only five
00:17:57days apart. She narrowed her eyes and began to think about the relationship between Maya and
00:18:02Tanya. Mommy, can I? Pete's words interrupted Nora's thoughts. She looked at him and nodded.
00:18:11All right, I'll ask your uncle when he comes back. If she took me out to play, she would definitely
00:18:17ask Joel. With that, she owned loudly and turned to walk to the bed. It's already so late. Why isn't
00:18:26he back yet? I'll lie down and wait for him. Pete. As expected, half an hour later, there were
00:18:34uniform breathing sounds on the bed. Pete sighed helplessly and put down the pen in his hand.
00:18:41He walked to the bed and gently covered Nora with the blanket. Then he went out and downstairs to
00:18:47sit on the sofa in the living room. When Joel returned home, this was the scene he saw. Pete
00:18:54was clearly sleepy and anxious. His little head was nodding off, but he had still forced himself
00:19:00not to sleep. Joel looked at the time. It was already 11 p.m. He walked over and asked,
00:19:08What's wrong? Pete woke up suddenly and said excitedly, Uncle, you're finally back. He jumped
00:19:15off the sofa and looked at Joel. Tomorrow, Dad and Mom will take me and Cherry to the amusement park.
00:19:21I want to bring me along, OK? Joel looked at him and touched his head. After some thought,
00:19:28he said, OK. Pete had a sigh of relief. Joel bent down and picked him up before carrying him
00:19:35upstairs. After taking him to the bedroom, he asked, Where's your mother? Pete said helplessly.
00:19:43Mommy said that she would lie down and wait for you to come back to ask you. In the end,
00:19:48she fell asleep. Joel brought Pete to his room and watched him shower and change into his pajamas.
00:19:55Then he sent Pete to Nora's bedroom. He watched as he tiptoed in and returned to the bedroom
00:20:01in relief. At the same time, he could not help but think that Nora was such a worry-free mother,
00:20:08be it with Cherry or Pete. They were both so sensible and independent. After returning to
00:20:15his room, he washed up and lay on the bed. He took out his phone and opened Tanya's Facebook.
00:20:22Her profile picture was of a mature grape. Joel stared at his phone screen for a long time,
00:20:29not knowing what to send her. Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly saw the words typing
00:20:35on the dialog box. Joel was instantly delighted. What was Tanya going to say to him? However,
00:20:43after waiting for more than ten minutes, she did not say anything. Joel couldn't help but send
00:20:49a message. Tanya replied, Joel, where's the small composition? Tanya. What small composition?
00:20:58Joel smiled and typed. You've been typing for almost twenty minutes. You should have written
00:21:04a small composition with eight hundred words by now. Where is it? Tanya. Tanya. I wasn't sending
00:21:11you a message. Tanya. You're mistaken. Tanya. Oh, I was watching television and accidentally opened
00:21:20your chat window. Seeing that she was not being honest, Joel continued to type with a smile.
00:21:26What are you watching, Tanya? A show on Fox TV. Joel. Is it Friends? I haven't seen it in a long
00:21:35time. Tanya. Yes, Joel laughed again, but Fox TV is currently playing a melodramatic drama.
00:21:44Tanya. Tanya. Can I watch a replay? Joel, all right, you can watch whatever. You want. Whatever
00:21:52you say is right. After these words were sent, the two of them paused for a moment. Joel suddenly
00:22:00recalled when he and Tanya were still in high school at that time. They once had a disagreement
00:22:05over a small matter. As for the specific reason, he could not remember it clearly. However,
00:22:12Tanya's eyes were red from crying as she roared at him. Do you even know how to be a boyfriend?
00:22:18Don't you know that a girlfriend is always right no matter what she does? You're such a serious
00:22:24person other than me. No one else will want you. At that time, they were young and did not know
00:22:32how to cherish each other, much less how to love each other. They had stumbled forward in
00:22:37confusion. However, he had continued to press forward. It was unlike now where he was restrained
00:22:44and careful in everything he did. A warm feeling suddenly flowed through Joel's chest. He sent a
00:22:50message. I missed you. Tanya did not reply for a long time. Joel lowered his eyes and sent another
00:22:57message. Nora will take Cherry and Pete to the amusement park to play tomorrow. Maya wants to go
00:23:03too. Do you want to go this time? Tanya replied. I'll consider it. Joel chuckled softly. Yes,
00:23:12how long do you want to consider? Tanya replied proudly. Two minutes, Joel said. Totally all right.
00:23:20Two minutes later, Joel punctually asked. Go ahead, Tanya. Since you're begging me,
00:23:26I'll go. Joel laughed. The next day, when Nora woke up, the sun was high in the sky. She picked
00:23:34up her phone in a daze and was about to look at the time when she opened her eyes and saw four
00:23:40heads staring at her from her bedside. Maya and Tanya were on the left, both of them holding
00:23:46their chin. Cherry and Pete were speechless. Nora was shocked. What are you doing? Tanya,
00:23:54waiting for you to wake up so that we can go to the amusement park. Nora stunned. She looked at
00:24:00her phone and realized that it was already 11a. Nora rubbed her head and sat up. Why didn't you
00:24:08wake me up? Tanya looked at Cherry. You have to ask your little darling about this, Cherry.
00:24:16Said Mommy. You can't be disturbed when you're sleeping. Pete said, Mommy, it's okay. It's okay
00:24:24if we play less, but you have to sleep enough. Nora? She lifted the blanket and went to the
00:24:30bathroom. As she washed her face, she looked at Tanya and Maya in the mirror. She suddenly
00:24:36recalled her suspicions from last night. Perhaps it was because she was suspicious.
00:24:41Nora kept looking at Tanya and Maya while she changed. The more she looked at them,
00:24:47the more they looked alike. It seemed like the verification of DNA was imminent.
00:24:53However, how was she going to take DNA samples without alerting them,
00:24:58thinking that she had a whole day to spend with them today?
00:25:02Nora was not anxious. She slowly washed her face and brushed her teeth. She changed into casual
00:25:08clothes and prepared to go downstairs. Tanya immediately grabbed her. Justin is downstairs.
00:25:15Outsiders called Justin Mr. Hunt or President Hunt, but to Tanya, he was her best friend's
00:25:21boyfriend and only Justin. Nora raised her eyebrows and asked, What's wrong? Tanya pointed
00:25:28at her hair. Aren't you going to wash your hair, Nora? She casually glanced at the time.
00:25:34It's already so late. I'm not washing anymore. Tanya said in disdain. You're on a date, right?
00:25:43Can't you be more exquisite? I woke up an hour early this morning to dress up.
00:25:48Nora thought for a moment. That's true. Then she turned around and picked up her cap.
00:25:54That's good, Tanya. Watching Nora go downstairs casually.
00:26:00Tanya seriously suspected that she was not a woman. She grimaced and waved at the three children.
00:26:06Let's go. Pete and Jerry nodded, following behind Nora. Maya was still staring at the identical
00:26:14twins when she saw them today. She was shocked. Pete woke up early in the morning when he was
00:26:20playing with her. Someone at the door said that Justin had brought the Hunt's youngest son over.
00:26:26Maya was still a little nervous at that time. She asked Pete. They all say that the Hunt's
00:26:32youngest son is very mysterious. He never goes to school and doesn't play with others.
00:26:38What if he doesn't like me? Pete was stunned. He didn't expect Maya to be so sensitive.
00:26:45She hadn't even met him yet, but she already felt that he wouldn't like her.
00:26:49Pete said directly, No, you two will be very good friends.
00:26:55Maya looked at herself nervously and asked Jerry, Will he really like me? Pete replied,
00:27:01Yes, he will. Mia. Sigh of relief. Then she saw Justin walking in with Jerry in his arms.
00:27:09When Jerry entered, she was still wearing a mask and sunglasses to prevent anyone from peeking.
00:27:15The young master of the Hunts had always been well-protected.
00:27:20Maya immediately grabbed Pete's hand nervously. Then she saw that the Hunt's youngest son had
00:27:26been placed down by his father. Then he skipped over to her and said, Mia. Sister, I missed you
00:27:34so much. With that, Cherry hugged Maya. Mia. She was stunned and looked at Cherry in shock when
00:27:41Cherry saw that she was silent. She took off her sunglasses and mask. Mia. Don't you know Cherry
00:27:49anymore? Mia. She turned to look at Pete in surprise and then at Cherry. Only then did she
00:27:57react. You, your twins? Both of them smiled and nodded. Maya seemed to have realized something
00:28:04as she looked at Pete. So Cherry, who turns into a boy, is actually not Cherry. It's Cherry's
00:28:11brother. Pete extended his hand to her with a serious expression. He introduced himself.
00:28:18My name is Peter Hunt. Mia scratched her head and smiled with her eyes.
00:28:23Your name sounds nice. As soon as she finished speaking, Cherry said brother's nickname is.
00:28:31Before she could finish, Pete interrupted her. Cherry's name is Cheryl Smith.
00:28:37Mia continued to smile. It sounds good, too. I think so, too. Cherry held me his hand, brother,
00:28:45and I named ourselves very casually. But daddy and mommy really have telepathy. They named us
00:28:51Cherry Pit. Daddy said that brother and I are the fruits of mommy and daddy. Mia was enlightened.
00:28:58She smiled at Pete. So you're not Cherry. Your nickname is Pit Pete. His nickname was not nice.
00:29:06He rarely told others about it. He did not expect his sister to say it so directly.
00:29:12Sigh. His head hurt. When Nora went downstairs, she stood in the corridor and looked down.
00:29:19She saw Joel and Justin sitting on the living room sofa. These two men, who could change New York's
00:29:26economy with just a stomp of their feet, were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea.
00:29:32When she went out, there was no sound from downstairs. When she was almost downstairs,
00:29:38Justin suddenly said, Nora's temper becomes a little bad if she doesn't sleep enough.
00:29:43Please forgive her. Please forgive her. These words sounded as if Nora was Justin's possession.
00:29:50Joel suddenly raised his head, his eyes curved into crescents, and he smiled. She's my sister.
00:29:57There's no need to apologize. I've just made Mr. Hunt wait here for such a long time.
00:30:03Nora's health is not good. Mr. Hunt, you don't mind, right? Justin. There was a hint of coldness
00:30:10in his deep eyes, and the mole at the corner of his eye looked a little enchanting. He suddenly
00:30:16said, I definitely don't mind. After all, Nora's health deteriorated because she gave birth to my
00:30:24children. I wonder if Nora is used to sleeping on the Smiths' bed. Joel. These words implied that
00:30:32Nora had not grown up in the Smiths. He lowered his eyes and gently placed the teacup down.
00:30:39Still smiling, he said, she probably slept well. After all, she's at home, Mr. Hunt.
00:30:46You probably don't know yet, right? Nora is Uncle Ian's biological daughter,
00:30:52and she's also the only daughter of the Smiths' direct line of descent. He deliberately emphasized
00:30:59the word at home, and emphasized the eldest daughter of the direct line. Then, he said jokingly,
00:31:06if she didn't have an engagement with Mr. Hunt, I'm afraid the other men in New York would have
00:31:11been chased out by Uncle Yuman when they came to propose marriage. Justin. He had almost forgotten
00:31:18that the person in front of him was his brother-in-law. Offending him would make his marriage
00:31:22difficult. At the thought of this, Justin took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour a cup of
00:31:29tea for Joel. Looking at his lowered head, Joel was extremely satisfied. The two men were both heads
00:31:36of the two top families in New York. Neither of them was convinced by the other. Even though the
00:31:42two companies had worked together before, they had never lowered their heads. Now, this man was
00:31:48willing to lower his head. For Nora, it seemed like he was being sincere. A cup of tea made the
00:31:55two men lose their hostility. At this moment, they finally heard footsteps. The two of them turned
00:32:02their heads and saw Nora walking down. She coughed. Did I make you two wait for long? No, no,
00:32:10the two men said doubtfully. Nora, she suddenly looked at Joel and asked,
00:32:16By the way, Joel, what's Maya's blood type? Joel did not understand why she would suddenly ask this,
00:32:22but he still said Tepe. Tanya was also an A. Nora narrowed her eyes and asked again,
00:32:29What about Hillary? Hearing her mention Hillary, Joel subconsciously looked at Tanya,
00:32:35who was following behind her, seeing that Tanya was indeed frowning and seemed a little unhappy.
00:32:41Joel carefully replied, Tepe. Okay, Nora replied, but she was guessing in her heart.
00:32:49Joel had Tepe blood, while Hillary had Tepe blood. Therefore, there was a chance that Maya had Tepe
00:32:57blood. From this, she could not confirm her guess. Indeed, she still had to do a DNA test.
00:33:05With this in mind, she glanced at Tanya. She did not tell Tanya about this immediately.
00:33:10After all, over the years, they had been looking for her child together.
00:33:15She knew that it was devastating for any hope to be destroyed when she did the DNA report.
00:33:20If Maya was not Tanya's child, she would not mention it at all. However, if she was Tanya's
00:33:27daughter, everything would be fine. With this thought in mind, she asked, Shall we set off?
00:33:34There's no rush. Before Joel could speak, Justin said slowly, Eat something before you leave.
00:33:42You've slept for so long you should avoid getting low blood sugar. Everyone was speechless. Nora
00:33:49casually picked up a piece of chocolate. No need. Let's go. Nora was a little embarrassed to have
00:33:55the three children and three adults wait for her here. Actually, she had set an alarm before she
00:34:01went to bed last night. After all, she was going out with him today. Thinking of this,
00:34:08she took out her phone and was about to see why the alarm didn't ring when she heard Pete's mommy.
00:34:13The tyrant daddy asked me to turn off your alarm. He said that you'll only have the energy to play
00:34:19after you sleep. Enough. Okay. Nora's lips twitched. She really could not be blamed.
00:34:26There were too many people in the group, so everyone got into the huge van that the hunts
00:34:31had driven over. The van had three rows of seats. The most comfortable seats were definitely the
00:34:37two single chairs in the second row. The third and fourth rows fit the adults and their children
00:34:43well. Joel glanced at Tanya and pointed at the single seat in the second row. Sit here.
00:34:50Miai was Joel's daughter. He was already very happy that Tanya could go out with them.
00:34:56He definitely wouldn't trouble Tanya to help take care of Maya. Tanya nodded. Then Justin pointed
00:35:03at the single seat in the second row and said to Nora, sit here too. He brought Pete and Cherry
00:35:09to sit at the back. Therefore, a strange arrangement was made. The two all-powerful
00:35:15men in New York had given up their seats for the two women, but they were sitting at the back as
00:35:20full-time nannies. When the driver saw this, he was frightened. He had never seen Mr. Hunt sitting
00:35:28in the back row that was reserved for assistants and bodyguards. Then he looked at the two women
00:35:34sitting in the second row. After Nora got into the car, she ate a mouthful of chocolate sleepily
00:35:41and leaned against the window, looking very relaxed. Tanya did not feel that there was
00:35:47anything wrong with sitting there like this. She also did not feel that there was anything wrong
00:35:52with letting the two men look after the children. She was still whispering to Nora. The driver was
00:35:58speechless. The corners of his mouth twitched. He did not expect Mr. Hunt and Mr. Smith to spoil
00:36:05their girlfriends so much. The car started and drove to the amusement park. Tanya and Nora were
00:36:12whispering about what they were going to play later. The two men in the back seat were also
00:36:16chatting harmoniously. Joel asked, Pete's identity and appearance have always been kept a secret.
00:36:24Don't tell me you're going to the amusement park today with a mask on.
00:36:29There's no need, Justin said. The amusement park was cleared today. Only then did Joel suddenly
00:36:36realize that the Hunts owned the largest amusement park in New York. He nodded. Yes, we won't be
00:36:43disturbed like this, he asked mischievously. But, Mr. Hunt, you didn't bring your eighteen bodyguards
00:36:50with you today. That's not your style. Justin smiled brightly, and the mole at the corner of
00:36:58his eye shone. His words had a hint of submission there, hiding in the dark. After all, we have two
00:37:05children with us. No one can take the risk, lest there be an accident. Mr. Smith, you understand,
00:37:13right? With that, he looked behind the car. After all, there are already seven or eight people in
00:37:19the two cars behind us. Right, Joel said slowly. I'm not afraid of anything. It's improbable for
00:37:27there to be any big scene outside. These seven or eight people are all here to protect Nora.
00:37:34His meaning was clear. Nora had a high status in the Smiths. The group went straight to the amusement
00:37:39park. Justin seemed to have long known that Nora would not be able to get up on time, so the van
00:37:46stopped at the restaurant inside the amusement park. Justin explained, let's have lunch first
00:37:51before we go to play. Joel replied, that's what I was thinking. Nora had not eaten breakfast.
00:37:59Moreover, it was already noon. How could she not eat? The group entered the restaurant.
00:38:05The amusement park was cleared of people, and there were no tourists in the restaurant either.
00:38:10They watched the amusement park facilities outside as they ate in the lobby.
00:38:15When the food arrived, Nora subconsciously picked up her chopsticks and planned to eat in big bites,
00:38:21but Justin stopped her. He said, eat slowly. Nora was about to retort when Justin spoke again,
00:38:29be a good role model for the children. Nora felt that it was really troublesome.
00:38:34However, when she met the gazes of the three children, she could only say, all right.
00:38:41After lunch, they went to the amusement park. There was no need to queue up. They could do
00:38:47whatever they wanted. Nora liked exciting things. She went on roller coasters, trapeze,
00:38:54and other thrilling rides. Cherry, Pete, and Justin accompanied her throughout. However,
00:39:01Mia was timid and did not dare to play. Tanya saw that she was too timid to reject and said,
00:39:07I'm afraid of heights, so I won't play. Mia, will you accompany me? Mia heed to sigh of relief
00:39:14and immediately held Tanya's hand tightly. Okay. So the people split into two groups to play,
00:39:21watching Tanya and Mia leave. Nora suddenly said to Pete, Pete, I'll give you a mission. Pete asked
00:39:28in confusion, what? Nora said, find an opportunity to help me collect some of me as DNA samples.
00:39:36Pete did not ask why and directly replied, no problem. On the other hand, Tanya had brought
00:39:43Mia to the carousel. Joel also accompanied them after the three of them got on the carousel.
00:39:50The staff beside them raised their cameras and took photos of them. Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith,
00:39:56look over here. Mrs. Smith, please hug your daughter. Daughter Tanya was stunned. She
00:40:02looked down at Mia in her arms and was about to explain when the staff looked at the camera and
00:40:08sighed. Mrs. Smith, your daughter really looks like you. After the staff finished speaking,
00:40:15Mia reached out and grabbed her clothes. She asked timidly, Miss Turner, is this okay?
00:40:22Tanya looked at her. For some reason, she did not explain. She just smiled. Okay.
00:40:30Mia was excited to see that she didn't reject her. Joel stared at them from the side. His eyes were
00:40:36calm, but the smile in his eyes was more warm and sincere than before. Snap. A photo of the family of
00:40:44three was taken. The staff took the photo and stood up, handing it over on the carousel. Tanya sat in
00:40:52front with Mia in her arms while Joel sat in the back. The three of them looked very beautiful.
00:40:58The staff said politely, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, the two of you are so loving.
00:41:04Little Miss Smith is also so cute. Your family of three is really fortunate. Tanya looked at the
00:41:10staff awkwardly and was about to explain when Joel suddenly took out his wallet and handed
00:41:16some notes to the service staff. You're a smooth talker. Feel free to say more. The service staff
00:41:23took the tip. It was a thick stack and there were at least a few hundred dollars. He was instantly
00:41:29delighted and immediately said, it's not that I'm a smooth talker. I'm actually very bad at talking.
00:41:35It's just that I'm good at telling the truth. Mr. Smith, there's a bumper car over there.
00:41:42Do you want to bring Mrs. Smith and Little Miss there to play? Yeah. Joel picked me up and held
00:41:48Tanya with his other hand as they walked toward the bumper car. Tanya followed. She did not even
00:41:54have a chance to explain the entire time and could only accept the title of Mrs. Smith.
00:41:59They had fun the entire day. Even though they only started in the afternoon, they still played all the
00:42:06games they wanted until sunset. At night, the group ate dinner at the amusement park and watched the
00:42:12fireworks performance. There was no vast crowd. The moment the fireworks bloomed, the three children
00:42:19gathered together and ran across the lawn of the viewing area, screaming with amazement.
00:42:25Wow, so beautiful. It's so bright. Nora and Justin sat on the ground when they looked up at the
00:42:33fireworks. Nora was a little stunned. Actually, coming to the amusement park to play was a very
00:42:39boring thing for her. No matter how exciting those games were, would they be as thrilling as riding a
00:42:45race car? She was just accompanying the two children to play something boring. Seeing that
00:42:52they were happy, she endured it. Time was actually the most precious thing to her as she spent most
00:42:58of her time sleeping. She preferred to finish all her tasks while she was awake. However, as she sat
00:43:06there and watched the fireworks rise into the sky and felt the breathing and company of the man
00:43:10beside her, she felt for the first time that it did not seem so bad to waste so much time on the
00:43:16other side. Joel and Tanya were following behind the three children as they walked.
00:43:23Joel suddenly reached out and held Tanya's hand. Tanya wanted to struggle, but the man's hand was
00:43:29too warm and she could not break free at all. She gave up and let Joel hold her hand. The three
00:43:36children ran in front and occasionally turned back to see the scene. Cherry widened her eyes
00:43:42and said in disbelief, God, Mom, are you dating Uncle Joel? Tanya, her expression instantly turned
00:43:50cold. Silly Cherry, what are you talking about? Mia was shocked. Cherry, don't talk to Miss Turner
00:43:59like that. She'll be angry. Tanya didn't expect to have scared Maya. Just as she was about to
00:44:06comfort her and tell her that she wasn't angry, she saw me. A look at Joel. Daddy, hurry up and
00:44:13kiss Miss Turner. Kiss her and she'll be happy. Tanya, her face turned red. The man beside her
00:44:20chuckled softly, his voice rich and gentle. Tanya, I only wish for time to stop. How good would it be
00:44:30if we could stay here forever? Tanya did not say anything, but Joel suddenly held her hand.
00:44:36Happy days were always short. Soon it was 8 p.m. The sky had completely darkened and they were
00:44:43going home. Tanya's home was not in the same direction as the Smith's and Hunt's, so they
00:44:49discussed and decided to let Joel take her home. Mia was brought back by Justin with Pete when they
00:44:55separated at the door. Nora suddenly shouted Tanya. Tanya, who was about to get into the car
00:45:02with Joel, stopped and turned to look at her. What's wrong? Nora stretched out her arm. Give me
00:45:08a hug, Tanya. The corners of her lips twitched. It's not like I won't see you anymore. Why are you
00:45:15hugging me? Are you crazy? I'm not so affectionate with you. Nora did not care. She walked over and
00:45:23hugged her. Don't you know that you might have to call me sister-in-law the next time we hug Tanya?
00:45:30She turned around angrily and walked back to the car. However, she had only taken a few steps
00:45:36when she held her head with a cry. Nora shrugged. I'm sorry. Two strands of your hair were caught
00:45:44on my ring. The corners of Tanya's mouth twitched. I knew I shouldn't have given you such a pretentious
00:45:50hug. You made me lose two strands of hair. Nora retorted. Don't worry. I'll be responsible if you
00:45:57become bald. Tanya. Poopy, poopy, poopy. Don't you know how to talk? I have a lot of hair.
00:46:05How can I be bald? With that, she got into Joel's car. After the car left, Nora looked at the hair
00:46:12on her fingers. She raised her eyebrows and took out a bag, carefully putting the hair in it.
00:46:18As soon as she was done, she met Justin's teasing eyes. He seemed to have seen through everything as
00:46:24his gaze swept past the hair. In her hand. Before he said, Nora, I didn't expect you to be so naughty.
00:46:34Nora ignored him and placed the bag in her pocket. She lowered her head and gave Pete a look. Pete
00:46:40nodded and gave her an okay. They got into the van and went home. In the car, Pete suddenly said,
00:46:47let's play a game. After playing for the entire day, Maya and Cherry, who were already a little
00:46:53sleepy, looked at him excitedly. What are we playing? Pete took out a cotton bud. I'm playing
00:47:01house. I'm a dogger. Cherry secretly said to Mia. Pete is so childish. I stopped playing house when
00:47:10I was three. Mia said softly. But this is the first time Pete has made such a request.
00:47:16Let's play along, okay? Otherwise, he'll be unhappy. Cherry reluctantly said, all right.
00:47:24Therefore, the three children who were slightly smarter than ordinary people began playing house.
00:47:30Pete said to Maya, Mia, open your mouth. I want to take your saliva sample.
00:47:37Maya opened her mouth cooperatively. Pete stirred the cotton bud and handed it to Nora.
00:47:43It's done. Nora took it from him, naturally. Then she took out a small plastic bag,
00:47:49placed it inside, and put the bag into her pocket. When taking DNA samples, one must rub the cotton
00:47:56tip in the subject's mouth with a bit of force in order to get the oral mucosa. Therefore,
00:48:03it would feel a little uncomfortable. However, the kind Mia endured the discomfort without saying
00:48:09anything and played along with the game. After the DNA sample was successfully retrieved,
00:48:15Cherry, in an attempt to play along with Pete's game, said, it's my turn now, Pete, Pete. He
00:48:22glanced at Cherry disdainfully and said, don't you find this very childish? Let's not play this game
00:48:28anymore. Of course, if you really have to, I don't mind playing along. Cherry, she shut up and took
00:48:36out her phone. I still find mobile games more fun after all. While the children were talking,
00:48:42Justin seemed to have realized what Nora was doing. He went to Nora and asked softly,
00:48:49are you suspecting that Mia may be Tanya's daughter? Nora nodded. Tanya gave birth to a baby
00:48:55five years ago, but she lost the child. Something clicked in Justin's head and he asked,
00:49:03do you need me to look into it for you? Nora thought for a moment. All right. She didn't have
00:49:10enough manpower. Besides, it was not her forte either. She and Tanya didn't know each other
00:49:16before. Five years ago, the two had met while looking for their children with Justin's help.
00:49:23The investigation might progress faster. Justin suddenly asked, do I get any reward if I help out?
00:49:30Nora stared at the man's visage right in front of her. Even after being out for a day, the man still
00:49:37looked clean and refreshed and didn't look greasy at all. In particular, in the dim lighting in the
00:49:44car, the man's face even seemed like it had a veil of light over it. Nora suddenly withdrew her gaze
00:49:51and her throat moved a little. If she continued looking at him any further, she felt like she
00:49:56might not be able to stop herself from kissing him. She coughed and replied, forget it then,
00:50:02you don't have to help me. Justin Joel took Tanya back to the villa in the suburbs.
00:50:09The villa was a little far, so it was already nine, thirty by the time they reached the suburbs.
00:50:16As soon as the car stopped, Tanya got out of the car. She waved to Joel and said,
00:50:21bye, aren't you going to invite me in for a glass of water? Asked Joel. Tanya blinked.
00:50:29She simply knew Joel too well. Asking for a drink was just an excuse. She picked up a bottle of
00:50:35mineral water and handed it to him instead. The thick-skinned Joel said, oh my bad,
00:50:42can I use the bathroom? Tanya? She couldn't refuse anymore, surely she couldn't make him
00:50:48hold it in for over an hour, right? Joel got out of the car casually and followed her into the house.
00:50:55Tanya couldn't help but complain, you obviously went to the toilet before we left the amusement
00:51:00park without batting an eyelid. Joel replied, yeah, my kidneys aren't so good. However, Joel
00:51:09didn't go to the bathroom after he entered the villa. Instead, he pulled Tanya to the sofa and
00:51:15sat there. Before Tanya could say anything, he leaned in and pushed her down. Tanya had already
00:51:22realized what he was intending to do. The moment he grabbed her, they could feel each other's
00:51:28breath on their faces at this moment. Tanya was so nervous that her throat went dry. She asked,
00:51:36coquettishly, what are you doing? I've already held myself back for a whole day, replied Joel.
00:51:43Tanya, Joel said, I've been wanting to kiss you since I saw you at nine. Zero this morning?
00:51:49Tanya's cheeks turned even redder. However, the next moment, he asked quietly, Tanya,
00:51:57will you marry me? Tanya was about to reply when he went on. Are you willing to be Mia's mom?
00:52:04The bashful look on Tanya's face froze and her heart suddenly went cold. Mom? Her child was still
00:52:11missing, yet she was enjoying bliss and happiness. She wasn't worthy of having such happiness.
00:52:17The thought made her suddenly push Joel away. Way. All her shyness from just now disappeared.
00:52:25She looked at him in a panic and said, I need to give it some thought. Why don't you go for now?
00:52:32The suggestive atmosphere disappeared instantly. Joel knew that it was because he had been too
00:52:38impatient. Even if he wanted Tanya to accept Mia, he had to persuade her bit by bit. He shouldn't
00:52:45have mentioned that just now. After all, asking someone to be their child's stepmother was very
00:52:52impolite behavior. He lowered his gaze after spending the day together. He thought that
00:52:58Tanya was indeed fond of Mia. That was why he had brought it up. He nodded neat in his clothes
00:53:05and walked out of the house as she looked at how lonely he looked from the back.
00:53:10Tanya wanted to explain and tell him that it wasn't because she disliked Maya. She just felt
00:53:15that she was not worthy of being happy. However, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Elsewhere,
00:53:22Justin took the rest of them back to the Smith's Manor. Cherry was a little reluctant to part with
00:53:28Nora, although Nora was always disciplining her, unlike her father, who spoiled her and let her do
00:53:35whatever she wanted. Cherry still missed her mommy. However, Cherry was very sensible. She knew that
00:53:44her brother needed mommy more because he hadn't recovered from his illness yet. Thus, no matter
00:53:49how much she missed her mother, she had to go with her father. Cherry hugged Nora's leg and said,
00:53:56Mommy, I will miss you. Sensing how clingy her daughter was being, Nora squatted down and gave
00:54:03her a kiss on her forehead. You can come whenever you want to see me. Cherry nodded at once.
00:54:10Only then did she walk over reluctantly to Justin. Justin reached his arms out toward Nora and
00:54:16suggested, How about a goodnight hug for the two of us, too? Nora rolled her eyes at him. She wanted
00:54:23to refuse, but when she met the man's bottomless and aggrieved eyes, the words at the tip of her
00:54:29tongue did a U. Turn. In the end, the resigned woman stepped forward and gave him a hug. The man
00:54:37put his arms around her shoulders and hugged her a little tighter, as if he wanted to embed her
00:54:43into himself. His low voice rang out beside her ear. Goodnight. Nora pushed him away without saying
00:54:51anything. Justin then took Cherry into the car and left the Smiths. After the car left, Nora finally
00:54:59whispered Tisk, Goodnight. She then held Pete's hand in one hand and me as in the other and led
00:55:06them into the living room. Mia's nanny was waiting for her in the living room when she saw her.
00:55:12She took her hand, took her back to her bedroom and got ready to clean her up and tuck her in bed.
00:55:18Nora took Pete upstairs as soon as she arrived upstairs. The door to the guest room Lily was
00:55:25staying in opened. Lily was wearing pajamas and looked like she had just finished taking a shower
00:55:31and was drying her hair with a towel. She said, You're back, Auntie. Nora paused and looked at her.
00:55:39Are you done with work? Yeah. Lily had been busy ever since she returned to the States.
00:55:45She hadn't even returned to the manor for quite a few days. She had finally finished her work that
00:55:50day and had just reached home and taken a shower. She was planning to have a good night's sleep
00:55:56later. Unexpectedly, Nora took out two familiar-looking bags from her pocket. The next
00:56:03moment, Lily, the corners of her lips spasm. Does? She said, Boss, this is exploitation.
00:56:12You know that, right? Nora coughed. Even she herself knew that she was being a little too much,
00:56:19so she offered, How does a twenty-pay increment sound? She paid Lily a very high salary.
00:56:26Her annual salary reached as high as several hundred thousands of dollars. A twenty increment
00:56:32would mean at least one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Lily immediately beamed at her and took
00:56:38the two bags from her. No problem, Boss. What are you checking for? Nora yawned. Mother-daughter
00:56:46relationship. Lily looked at Nora in surprise. You found yourself another mom, Boss. Nora.
00:56:53Lily also felt that she must be mistaken. She glanced at Pete and asked, You have another
00:56:58daughter. You gave birth to triplets back then, Nora. She coughed and said gently, Get lost.
00:57:06Okay, dokay. I'll get changed and work overtime right away. I'll let you know the results tomorrow
00:57:12morning. Lily went back to her room, changed, and went out in a hurry. She had only just reached
00:57:20the car park and was about to open the car door when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow
00:57:26in the distance. Startled, she exclaimed, Ah, it's a ghost, Quentin. The corners of his lips spasms.
00:57:37He walked into the open leisurely and said, like the person afflicted with eighth-grader syndrome,
00:57:42he was, You're calling me a ghost. When I was obviously standing there like the live human I am,
00:57:50Are your eyes bad? Lily, who was bolder than a lot of girls, took a close look at Quentin,
00:57:56upon which her eyes immediately lit up. She asked, Who are you? Why did you become a thief
00:58:03when you're so good-looking? Why aren't you being a good person instead? This is the Smith's manner,
00:58:09you know. Who do you think you're calling a thief? Quentin retorted. Lily's eyes widened.
00:58:16The tall girl was not afraid of the man at all. You, of course, if you are not a thief,
00:58:22then why are you hiding in the shadows so sneakily? I'll tell you this, I can take out
00:58:28weaklings like you three at a time by myself. Quentin, who is she calling a goddamn weakling?
00:58:36There must really be a problem with a woman's eyes. He was about to speak when Lily took a
00:58:41good look at Quentin with the help of the car lights. Her eyes immediately brightened,
00:58:46and she asked, Say, why are you straying from the right path when you're such a good-looking man?
00:58:53Shall I help you out, Quentin? Lily coughed and asked, Do you have a girlfriend?
00:58:58Quentin wasn't the topic of their conversation changing a little too quickly.
00:59:03How did they suddenly start talking about whether he had a girlfriend or not?
00:59:07His brows drew together, and he answered, No, I don't. Lily said excitedly, I don't have a
00:59:14boyfriend either. Quentin, the corners of his lips spasmed, says Lily asked, Do you earn a
00:59:22lot from stealing, Quentin? It definitely isn't a lot, right? How about this? Why don't you date
00:59:29me? I can give you money and a place to live in. I can even buy you a house in New York.
00:59:36I have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's nearly one dollar million,
00:59:41you know. Quentin, the corners of his lips spasmed again. He felt a little like the conversation was
00:59:48getting more and more far-fetched. Was she hitting on him? He stared at Lily. If she weren't Big
00:59:55Sister's assistant, Quentin would have punched her and given her a taste of his martial arts,
01:00:00prowess, a long time ago. He sneered. Do you think I would be tempted by that bit of money
01:00:06you have? Lily thought for a moment. Well, that's true. Someone like you who specializes in stealing
01:00:14from wealthy families must be a master thief, right? I guess that bit of money I have won't
01:00:19attract you after all. By the way, I'm a doctor. If you get beaten up during a heist, you can come
01:00:26to me. Of course, if you ever decide to pull back and repent and don't feel like working hard
01:00:32anymore, you can come to me. Then, too, Lily took out a business card from her pocket.
01:00:39When she looked back up to pass it to Quentin, the man was already gone. Lily. He ran away so
01:00:47quickly. What a shame. He was so handsome. Lily sighed and got into her car. Quentin was someone
01:00:55who belonged in the shadows. Apart from a few of the Smiths, very few outsiders knew of him.
01:01:01Even fewer had ever met him. Therefore, Lily had never seen Quentin before, despite having
01:01:08lived in the Smiths' manor for so long. Quentin entered the living room as he watched Lily drive
01:01:13off. He couldn't help but hold his forehead, never mind that his cousin was a weirdo.
01:01:19Ah, a genius. But why was everyone around her also so weird? The corners of his lips spasmed
01:01:27the little. It was at this moment that his cell phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that Nora
01:01:34had sent him a screenshot of a chat. On the screenshot was a message that Lily had sent to
01:01:39Nora. Boss, a thief just went into the Smiths' manor. By the way, if he gets caught, can you
01:01:47avoid hitting his face? He's pretty handsome, and he's my type. It'd be a real shame if anything
01:01:54happens to his face after sending him the screenshot. Nora also sent him a question mark.
01:02:00Quentin. Quentin was livid. How could he possibly be a thief? How could an inferior creature like
01:02:08a thief possibly be worthy of his position as the ruler of the secret forces? His cousin's
01:02:14assistant was simply too much. Nora had received the message from Lily shortly after she brought
01:02:20Pete into the bedroom when she saw her, described the thief as a very handsome man, and thought of
01:02:26how infatuated Lily had looked while looking at photos of young male celebrities in the past.
01:02:31She immediately knew that the thief she was talking about was Quentin. Lily had gone out to.
01:02:38Suddenly, Quentin had probably been in the car park, so the two of them must have bumped into
01:02:44each other. After forwarding the screenshot to Quentin, she went to take a shower. A short while
01:02:52later, she heard a light knock on the door. The person knocking on the door seemed very cautious.
01:02:58Nora yawned and opened the door. It was Quentin. He asked sneakily,
01:03:04Nora, are you going to the arena? Nora? She asked in surprise.
01:03:10Didn't we already ask for a day off yesterday? She was taking her kids to the amusement park,
01:03:16so she had informed the arena staff the day before that they wouldn't be competing in any
01:03:21matches that day. Quentin replied, but Victor and the others have matches today. As they say,
01:03:30know the enemy, know thyself, and you will fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
01:03:36Nora yawned again and said sleepily, you're right. Quentin was overjoyed when he was about to say,
01:03:44let's go. Nora clapped down hard on his shoulder and said, therefore, I'm leaving this arduous
01:03:50task to you. Only after you know the enemy inside out can you lead the two of us,
01:03:56weaklings, to beat them. Quentin. His lip corners couldn't help but spasm.
01:04:02Nora, if I recall correctly, you fell asleep at ten last night and only woke up at eleven this
01:04:09morning. You slept for a whole thirteen hours. Nora was surprised. Really, in that case, I did
01:04:17indeed sleep an hour longer than usual. She. And again. For some reason, she had been feeling
01:04:25unusually sleepy lately. Quentin. His lip corner spasms again. All right, I'll go.
01:04:33There was no other way among the three-man team. One was there just to make up the numbers,
01:04:39while the other was big sister. Who didn't like to bother about such things as such?
01:04:44The arduous task could only be entrusted to him now. Quentin went to the underground tournament
01:04:50arena. The masked man walked around inside after saying hi to Linda. He sat in the Veep dining
01:04:57area to watch the match. There were three people on Victor's team. They were already challenging
01:05:03classy teams tonight. However, they defeated their opponents in just ten minutes. The mate
01:05:09kept silent for a moment before he finally announced with displeasure, Team Americans
01:05:15are incompetent wins. None of the spectators applauded or cheered. Victor and his teammates
01:05:22stood in the ring and shouted arrogantly, Is there no team that can fight in the USA?
01:05:27The people at the bottom of the ring shouted one after another. What are you being so arrogant
01:05:33about? You'll be up against Team Third in the world tomorrow. Victor, have you already forgotten
01:05:40how number 028 sent you flying with a kick? Ha ha ha. Exactly. Team Third in the world.
01:05:51Team Third in the world. These two powerful teams had shown the brightest in the tournament this
01:05:56year. Even though the two teams looked equally matched, everyone had placed their hopes in Team
01:06:02Third in the world. Upon the audience calling out his team's name, Quentin suddenly stood up
01:06:08in the crowd with a sharp look in his eyes. He stared at the stage. Then he pointed his
01:06:14middle finger at Victor and the other two in the ring. The action was full of contempt.
01:06:20Quentin's actions made everyone excited. Everyone jumped onto their feet and pointed their metal
01:06:26fingers at the ring. The audience came from all walks of life, but all of them were already part
01:06:32of the working society. Some of them were fathers, while some were mothers. All of their
01:06:38youthful passion had long been erased by society. It was so difficult to even hold the tournament
01:06:45itself. Additionally, from the way how Nora had defeated all her opponents with just a single
01:06:52move in the beginning, one could easily see that the contestants in the martial arts tournament
01:06:58didn't actually have any real substance or skill in the current age of material desires.
01:07:04Martial arts might already have become a thing of the past. A long time ago, no one wanted to
01:07:10practice and train hard from a young age just for the sake of such a martial arts tournament.
01:07:16That was why the Quinn School of Martial Arts and the Irvin School of Martial Arts had such a high
01:07:22status in the pugilistic world, because they were the only two sects who had financial support.
01:07:29Not only did they not charge any tuition fees for practicing martial arts,
01:07:33but they even provided financial subsidies and wages to support the disciples and give them
01:07:39confidence in training. Big Brother and Big Sister had therefore become these martial arts
01:07:45practitioners. Faith. Now everyone's thirst for blood was aroused in this instant.
01:07:52It was as if those days when they were still young and cocky were right before their eyes.
01:07:58Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ring. All their indignation and humiliation from being
01:08:03insulted just now was gone, and only confidence and passion remained in this instant. They firmly
01:08:10believed that the use of martial arts would definitely beat the Benevolence Hall. When
01:08:14Victor and the other two saw this, all of them frowned. They, who were originally the victors,
01:08:21seemed to lose their momentum, and they got out of the ring pathetically. Get off the ring,
01:08:27you traitor. A treasonous traitor, like you cannot live well for long. A mere boxing champion
01:08:35actually dares to come here and provoke us. Team. Third in the world will teach you how to behave.
01:08:42Amidst everyone's shouts, Quentin looked at Victor and the other two from the back,
01:08:47his expression turning serious from observing the match. Just now, he realized that Victor
01:08:52and his teammates had become stronger again, given how strong they were. Unless Big Brother
01:08:58joined his team with just him and Big Sister, they might not actually be able to win.
01:09:04With that in mind, Quentin lowered his head, picked up his cell phone, and sent a text message
01:09:09to Nora. Nora, Victor, and his teammates have become stronger again. Why don't we cooperate
01:09:17with Big Brother? After sending the message, he continued typing. They were simply too arrogant
01:09:24just now. We must kick their asses tomorrow night. After sending the message, he looked around,
01:09:30seeing that there wasn't anything else happening anymore. He got ready to go home.
01:09:37Suddenly, he received a text message. Boss, someone is investigating Miss Nora again.
01:09:44The message was from someone in the Smiths' secret forces. Quentin's participation in the
01:09:49tournament was his private affairs, so he hadn't brought them with him. Quentin had instructed the
01:09:55Smiths' secret forces to keep an eye on Nora and protect her. During this recent period of time,
01:10:02they were to report to him immediately if they found any unidentified people looking into her.
01:10:08He replied, I'm coming over right away. He had to ensure his cousin's safety. It might be Big
01:10:15Sister he was protecting, but it only meant that all the more nobodies like them shouldn't be
01:10:20bothering her. After sending the message, he headed to the car park. After Victor and his
01:10:27teammates got off the ring and got into the car, they received a call from Abigail. How did it go
01:10:33tonight? he asked. Antoine, the bald man, replied, Piece of cake. It seems like they are very satisfied
01:10:41with Team. Third in the world, though, and threatened to have them teach us a lesson tomorrow.
01:10:47Abigail sneered. Team. Third in the world. The name alone already sounds weak. If they can only
01:10:56take third place, then isn't the champion title still ours in the end? Antoine burst out laughing
01:11:02at once. He looked very confident. Victor, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but
01:11:09be a wet blanket. That woman in the red dress from Team Third in the world is Big Sister.
01:11:15His one-liner threw everyone in the car into silence, seemingly sensing the other silence.
01:11:22Abigail sneered. Has a mere woman frightened you guys witless? Victor, you have to believe
01:11:29in yourself. You're definitely a match for her now, even if Big Brother joins them.
01:11:35The three of you can still beat them. Victor lowered his head. I find that difficult.
01:11:41Antoine sneered. What's the matter with you, Vic? Are you actually putting yourself down
01:11:47at a time like this? No wonder people say that you Americans are incompetent.
01:11:53All of you are so thin and weak. It's obvious at a glance that none of you can put up a fight.
01:11:59The last person among the Team of Three was also a foreigner.
01:12:03When he heard what Antoine said, he looked at Victor brazenly and burst out laughing.
01:12:11Victor's face darkened. How about a match between you and I, Antoine? I will show you who the
01:12:17strongest in this team is. Antoine sneered and said nothing. Antoine was very strong. His strength
01:12:24was on par with Victor's. However, Victor fought in a way that threw caution to the wind and
01:12:31disregarded his own safety. How would he possibly dare to fight him? Besides, Antoine found himself
01:12:39a fantastic excuse. We will be up against Team Third in the world tomorrow. We should not be
01:12:45having an internal conflict at a time like this. Victor wanted to speak, but Abigail interrupted
01:12:52him. Vic, in your opinion, what are our chances of beating them? Victor slowly replied, 70 to 30.
01:13:01Antoine broke into a grin at once. That's more than enough. Victory is pretty much in the bag
01:13:08with a 70 chance of winning. Victor raised his head. The look in his eyes was cold as he said,
01:13:15what I meant was our chances of winning are 30 and 70. There's. Antoine narrowed his eyes.
01:13:24Victor said, I'm the only one who has fought Big Sister before in the tournament.
01:13:29She isn't to be underestimated. Moreover, she hadn't used her full strength when she was beating
01:13:35me up that time. No one knows how strong she really is. Besides, there's also the crazy Smith
01:13:42in helping her out. The man wearing the black mask may look useless, but what if he is also a martial
01:13:49arts expert? We may not necessarily be their match. His analysis made a lot of sense. At last,
01:13:56Antoine and Abigail didn't dare to mock him anymore. Abigail suddenly asked, Vic, do you
01:14:03want the third dose of the drug Victor's had whipped up? Yes. Dim light flickered and the man's
01:14:09eagle-like eyes. He had to have it, Abigail said. Then think of a way to win the match, or else you
01:14:17can forget about ever getting the third dose. Victor clenched his fists. He suddenly thought
01:14:23of something and said, I have a plan. When he finished, Abigail and Antoine kept quiet for a
01:14:30while. The next moment, Abigail laughed and said, not bad. You have potential, kid. Do as Vic says
01:14:39at the Smiths. As Nora's mind was on Lily's test results, she practically opened her eyes and woke
01:14:45up the very instant Lily's message came next to her. Pete even glanced at her in surprise because
01:14:52she had woken up. Nora stretched and turned on the phone. Sure enough, she saw the message from Lily.
01:14:59The test results are out. I've emailed them to you. Lily was very fast and efficient. Nora was
01:15:06about to open her email inbox when violent knocking suddenly came from the door. Nora was surprised
01:15:11Pete slept out of the bed and ran over to open the door. It was Joel. A puzzled Pete asked,
01:15:19what's the matter, Uncle Joel? Joel was aware that Nora was always sleepy and needed 12 hours
01:15:25of sleep a day. Why would he come over and disturb her rest when it was only seven? Zero in the
01:15:32morning, Joel asked, is your mommy awake? Can you wake her up? I have something very important to
01:15:39talk to her about. Nora, who had also realized the urgency of the matter, quickly changed and
01:15:46walked over. What's wrong? Joel frowned when he saw her. He asked, Quentin is missing. Did you ask
01:15:55him to do anything for you? Nora's heart sank at last. She understood why Joel had come over so
01:16:01early in the morning. A grave look came over her countenance. I didn't, but he went to the tournament
01:16:09arena last night. She picked up her cell phone at this point, upon which she saw the two messages
01:16:15that Quentin had sent her sometime past 11, zero the previous night. However, the two messages
01:16:22didn't give her any clues. She frowned. Might he be resting somewhere? No. Joel spoke with certainty.
01:16:33Quentin's identity is special. There aren't many people who know of his existence because he only
01:16:38comes into contact with the people from Smith's secret forces, and everything he does is dangerous.
01:16:45He has to report his itinerary to me on time every day. When I didn't receive his report this morning,
01:16:52I knew at once that something has gone wrong. It was only when I contacted the people from the
01:16:58secret forces that I found out Quentin had already lost contact with them last night.
01:17:03The previous night, Nora wanted to ask more questions, but Joel had turned and gone downstairs.
01:17:10I'm going to the arena. Nora did not dare to waste any time. She grabbed the baseball cap
01:17:16hanging at the side and put it on. Then she took a face mask and followed him.
01:17:22Downstairs. A man was standing downstairs respectfully. He looked relatively young,
01:17:29but he had an anxious look on his face at the moment. When he saw Joel coming downstairs,
01:17:34he asked anxiously, Mr. Smith, is there any news about Boss? Joel shook his head.
01:17:43Nora, however, paused slightly by calling him Boss. He must be Quentin's subordinate.
01:17:49She immediately asked, when did Quentin last contact you? The subordinate replied, at eleven.
01:17:59Zero last night, after I told him that I had something to report to him,
01:18:03Boss said that he would come over immediately. I waited and waited. He didn't show up.
01:18:09Where did he go? Nora frowned. Has this ever happened before?
01:18:16Joel and the subordinate both replied, never. Although Quentin looked like he had eighth
01:18:22grader syndrome, he was actually a very responsible man deep down. Otherwise,
01:18:28he wouldn't have served the Smiths as a shadow hiding in the dark for so many years.
01:18:33He handled things carefully and cautiously and had never made any mistake all these years.
01:18:39But the more that was so, the deeper Nora's heart sank. To be honest, she was hoping that Quentin
01:18:46had just irresponsibly gone to an internet cafe, somewhere to have fun or hidden somewhere to
01:18:52sleep in. She took a deep breath and exchanged a look with Joel. She said, let's split up and
01:18:58look for him. Joel nodded. Nora left the manor and drove straight to the arena. At the same time,
01:19:05she also made a call to the Quinn School of Martial Arts. It was Lucas, the person in charge
01:19:12of the Quinn School of Martial Arts General Affairs, who picked up. He said, you're looking
01:19:17for me this early in the morning, big sister. What a rare occasion this is. But before he
01:19:24could finish, Nora had already interrupted him. She instructed, assemble everyone in the Quinn
01:19:31School of Martial Arts and launch a citywide search for Quentin Smith. And from the tournament,
01:19:37Lucas was taken aback. What happened? Nora replied, I suspect something has happened to him.
01:19:44Lucas's voice immediately turned grave. He said promptly and decisively, understood.
01:19:50Lucas then said, I will also contact the Martial Arts Association and ask their staff to search
01:19:56for him. We also have a lot of people taking part in the tournament. Someone may have seen something.
01:20:02Okay, let me know if you find out anything. Keep your phone reachable at all times.
01:20:09Understood. After hanging up, Nora thought for a moment and called Justin.
01:20:15New York was the Smiths' and the Hunts' turf. Everyone in the Smiths' was already out looking
01:20:20for Quentin. If the Hunts' also dispatched their men, they would have an even higher chance of
01:20:26finding Quentin. She wasn't going to care about whether it would embarrass the Smiths' or the
01:20:31Hunts' at a time like this. Justin picked up the call very quickly. He was likely very awake.
01:20:39He didn't sound as teasing as usual, either. Instead, his voice was low and deep as he asked,
01:20:46seriously, what's wrong? The fact that Nora had woken up so early was indicative that something
01:20:53must have gone wrong. For some reason, Nora calmed down when she heard his voice. She stared ahead of
01:21:00her and slowly replied, Quentin is missing. Justin was undoubtedly one of the few who knew of Quentin's
01:21:08existence. Moreover, Justin and Quentin had fought side by side so many times, so he was even more
01:21:15familiar with him than other people. Justin didn't say anything unnecessary. He immediately said,
01:21:22don't worry, I will send everyone out to search for him right away. Yeah. After Nora responded,
01:21:29she hesitated for a moment and kept quiet. Justin asked, are you suspecting something?
01:21:36Nora nodded, her eyes staring straight ahead of her in a daze. He went missing at the tournament,
01:21:43but there are far and few there who can beat him in a fight.
01:21:47It's very likely that he has been abducted by people from the Benevolence Hall. Upon hearing
01:21:52that, Justin immediately said, I'll head to the Benevolence Hall and ask for him. Okay.
01:22:00At this point, Nora hesitated for a moment before she finally asked, hoarsely, will he be all right?
01:22:07If the Benevolence Hall wanted the champion title in the tournament,
01:22:12they could just attack any of the members of Team Third in the world when they were alone.
01:22:17This was what Nora had concluded. After analyzing the situation,
01:22:21she suddenly became a little scared. She was scared that something would really happen to Quentin.
01:22:27After all, a whole night had already passed. When she thought of that, she said,
01:22:33he asked me to go with him to observe the match last night, but I didn't. For the first time,
01:22:39she hated the way she needed so much sleep, leading to her not being by his side,
01:22:45perhaps because he could sense what she was thinking. Justin said, the three of us aren't
01:22:52joined at the hip. There will always be times when we are alone. Nora knew that, but she simply
01:22:58couldn't convince herself otherwise. She stared straight ahead of her bloodthirsty,
01:23:03murderous intent forming in her eyes. If anything happens to Quentin, I will make the Benevolence
