Charming Lady Hard To Chase After Being Dumped Chapter 360

His voice was gentle, yet it also seemed like a voice straight out of hell, causing Yvonne's heart to sink
little by little.

Joel stood up.

"Since there isn't any evidence, I won't hand you over to the police.Besides, you're Uncle lan's
daughter.How you should be dealt with will have to wait until Uncle lan wakes up.However, you don't
have to manage the family matters anymore during this time."

His words made Yvonne suddenly look up at him.

As lan's one and only lawful daughter, Yvonne had always enjoyed a very high status in the family.

In fact, legally, she had a closer relationship with lan than what Joel, lan's nephew, had with him.

Therefore, while Joel managed the company's affairs, Yvonne was in charge of the family's affairs.

Even Florence, the housekeeper in charge of the family's internal affairs, was just her helper.

Why did Louis keep suffering in her hands despite loathing her so much? It was thanks to the fact that
she was the one in control of the finances! Yet, Joel was going to deprive her of her authority? Yvonne
couldn't stop herself from retorting, "Who do you intend to put in charge of managing the family's
affairs, if not me? Nora? You can't do that.I'm Dad's only daughter while she's nothing more than a
shameful product of that woman's betrayal of Dad.Aren't you embarrassing Dad if you do that?"

Seeing that she was still arguing even now, Joel slowly cast his eyes down and said, "You can go now"

Yvonne wanted to argue some more, but she knew that Joel never changed his mind once he made a
decision.



She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and walked out of the study.

After she left, Quentin popped out of somewhere, went to Joel, and asked, "Are you really going to let
her off just like that, Joel?"

Joel rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He sighed and said, "Uncle lan is still in a coma.As his only daughter, it's best that nothing happens to
her for now.If Uncle lan pulls through, he will deal with her himself"

Joel, who had been brought up by lan himself, knew lan's character all too well.

He hated schemes and conspiracies like these the most.

Besides, he felt that Uncle lan didn't really seem to dislike Nora that much...

Quentin couldn't help asking, "What if Uncle lan doesn't make it?"

The look in Joel's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Then it'll be the time that she gets married once she finishes two years of mourning for Uncle lan- As
for who she'll marry and how much money to give her once she does, Joel had the final say! Quentin
nodded.He and Joel were of the same opinion with regard to Nora —neither of them liked her very
much.

After all, he was someone constantly in the shadows.

Nora's thoughts were just like his—unfit to be brought into the light.

While he was thinking about it, Joel asked, "Has Nora woken up?"

The sensitive Quentin discovered that Joel's term of address for Nora had changed.



From the distant and alienated 'Ms.Smith', it had now become 'Nora'...

Ahem! Quentin straightened his back and replied, "I don't know.She was still asleep when I left.She had
looked so lazy, didn't even work, and only knew to sleep every day in the past.But unexpectedly, she's
actually the famous Anti...Thinking about it again, it's no wonder she's so rich!"

"...Rich?" Quentin nodded.

"Yeah.Don't you know? Louis has already become her fan just because she's rich!"

Joel couldn't help remarking dryly, "What a promising future that fellow has."

"I know, right?"

Quentin curled his lips disdainfully.

"I, for one, won't bend over just because she's rich.

If she wants my recognition.only if she's the Quinn School of Martial Arts' Big Sister!"

Joel: ".."

Quentin looked at him again.

"What does our little cousin have to do in order to gain your recognition, Joel?"

Joel glanced at him, picked up company documents from the table, and said, "What a meaningless
question."

Quentin curled his lips disdainfully.

Joel's phone vibrated at this point.



He glanced at it and found that it was a text message from Tanya: '’Please let me know when Nora
returns” Joel sent her a question mark.

Tanya immediately replied.

As if she was eager to distance herself from him, she wrote: '’Nora isn't picking up my calls, so I reckon
she's still being detained! Cherry misses her mom.Tell her to pick up her daughter once she returns”

At the sight of the message, Joel immediately got up, picked up the car key, and walked out.

Quentin was taken aback.

"Where are you going, Joel? Aren't you going to wait for our little cousin to come home?"

Joel didn't stop.He replied, "I'm picking up the child and bringing her home."

Quentin:"?"

'Child'? Wasn't it the weekend? It didn't seem like Mia had gone to school, though?! Nora only came
out of the room after she was done talking to Florence.

She didn't really blame Florence.

In fact, her loyalty to lan made her sigh in admiration.

What kind of age were they already in? Yet there were still people who could go to that extent for their
masters.

No wonder Joel hadn't driven her away after he took over the family.

Morris asked, "How was it, Ms.Smith?"



Nora gave him her serious feedback.

"The interrogation room's soundproofing is indeed pretty good.You can try using it if you ever have
insomnia in the future."

Morris:

He was asking if Florence had said anything! He wasn't asking about the interrogation room!! But as he
watched the unaffected woman in front of him, he fell silent for a moment before he finally said, "I
apologize for my actions previously, Ms.Smith.I'm sorry”

Nora raised her eyebrows when she heard him.

Her lips curled into a smile and she suddenly said, "Apology accepted, Captain Ford, but I'd still like to
ask you to do me a favor"

"What is it?"

Nora cast her eyes down and asked, "Can you tell me just what kind of case am I involved in?"

Her head had cleared up after she woke up.

Morris kept quiet for a while.

He looked up and stared at her for very long, seemingly considering whether he could tell her about it.

At last, he stepped aside and said, "Let's talk over there, Ms.Smith"

There were indeed some things he didn't need to hide from her anymore.

Nora nodded.



She gave Justin a comforting look and followed Morris into the confidential room next door.

Justin stood there and watched helplessly as Morris took her into the secret room.

He frowned.

The confidentiality room was a room used for important cases in the country.

No conversations inside would be recorded.

Therefore, be it discussing the case or presenting the case, it would be inside.

Back when Morris took Nora away forcefully and did not allow her to be bailed out, he knew that Nora
might have been involved in a case.

Now, the mystery was finally going to be solved, right? He lowered his eyes.

His eyes were dark, and the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to be flickering.

From his appearance, it seemed like he already knew what that secret was.

Nora originally thought that the soundproofing in the interrogation room was good enough, but when
she entered the room and Morris closed the door, her heart skipped a beat.

All the sounds outside were blocked by a door, making her feel as if she was isolated from the entire
world.

When she looked at Morris again, he was still as cold as ever.

He pointed at the chair and motioned for her to sit down before sitting opposite her.

The two chairs were the same.



He did not look like he was interrogating a criminal and it was like they were talking fairly.

While Morris was still struggling with his choice of words, Nora asked, "Is it about illegal drugs and
human trials?"

Morris paused.

"I didn't expect Miss Nora to be so perceptive."

Nora rolled her eyes.

How could she still not understand at this point! After Old Maddy's incident, Morris had kept asking her
if she had given Old Maddy any drugs.

Then, he had detected some unknown components in Old Maddy's blood.

He immediately became nervous and his attitude became worse.

At that time, Morris was certain that she had fed Old Maddy something.

Later on, when he realized that Old Maddy''s blood contained drugs commonly used to poison rats and
mosquitoes, Morris relaxed.

He did not even participate in the arrest of Florence.

If she still could not detect anything, she was too slow.

Nora thought about this and asked, "Captain Ford, should we talk about this properly now?"

Morris nodded and crossed his arms on the table.

His posture seemed more like he was testing and wary.



"Miss Nora, do you know that there is a mysterious organization in this world that outsiders don't know
about?"

A mysterious organization? Nora's first reaction was Imperial League.

She lowered her eyes and looked calm, but her heart felt as if it had been scalded.

Imperial League was indeed a dangerous existence to be able to control the global economy.

But according to what she knew, it didn't do human experiments or illegal drugs.
