Pete:"!!"
He was silent for a moment before he sighed and did not probe further.
"Forget it."
Cherry picked up her phone excitedly.
The slightly intense dispute dissipated into thin air.
Nora looked at Tanya.
"See that? It's a good thing I came fast."
Tanya: The scene of the two children being obedient returned to the room.
Nora simply went out.
Just as she was about to leave, her phone suddenly rang.She took a look and realized that it was
Morris.She was stunned for a moment before answering the call.She heard Morris say, "Caleb has
escaped."
Nora was surprised.
"So fast?"
"Yes, everyone's attention was on you and Ruth today.He found a chance to escape."
That was true.
After all, Caleb wanted to pretend that he had escaped.
It was definitely appropriate for the special department to be in such a mess today, but...She suddenly
felt a little regretful.
Previously, she had asked Sheril to make a few cough pills for him.
As it was her first time making them, she had only made a few and was urgently making a second
batch.
Unfortunately, with him gone, she could not give them to him even if she made one, right? As she
thought about this, Morris suddenly changed the topic.
"I heard that Ruth and Mr.Hunt have returned to the Hunts? And Mr.Hunt is suspected of raping her?"
Nora frowned and sounded a little unhappy.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, my people saw her enter the Hunt Manor with their own eyes.If possible, can you spare her life? I
still want to use her to bait people.
Nora was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't worry.Justin and I are good law-abiding citizens."
In the special department—the corners of Morris's mouth twitched when he heard the beeping sound
on the phone.
Mark, who was beside him, looked at Morris carefully.
"Our people can't enter the Hunt Manor, so we don't know what they're doing inside...We really don't
have a choice.Can we get Miss Smith to take a look? And report to us..."
He did not pursue the matter with Ruth nor suspect her.He only chased her away.It was all Morris's
bait.
He wanted to see her contact the mysterious organization and take advantage of the opportunity.
However, who would have thought that Ruth would be taken to the Hunt Manor as soon as she left the
special department, causing them to lose their surveillance?’ Morris looked at him and sneered.
"Report? In what capacity should I ask Miss Smith to report to us?! If she was still in the special
department, then I could request her to go on a mission as her superior.But what should I do now?"
Mark shut his mouth and lowered his head.
Why did it feel like the special department was in chaos ever since the moment Miss Smith left? The
investigation that had finally gotten on track previously had become troublesome again...
Nora got out of the car and was about to walk to the living room when she was grabbed by Mrs.Hunt.
Mrs.Hunt looked at her and saw that she did not look happy.She instantly trembled and coughed.She
suddenly said, "Miss Smith, um, you have to be forgiving..."
Nora:"???"
The old lady suddenly felt guilty.
Although she was very arrogant in the past, after learning that Nora was Pete's biological mother, she
knew that this marriage was set in stone! Even if it was just for Pete, she had to be Justin's wife.
Therefore, she had to suppress Nora in the future.She could not let her be too arrogant in the Hunts.
But now! Why was there another woman? What if Miss Smith got angry and suddenly broke off the
engagement?! She was anxious inside, but Nora could not be bothered with her.
She had already walked into Justin's living room.
As soon as she entered, she saw Ruth sitting calmly on the ground.
Her hands and feet were already tied, but she was not anxious or flustered.
She said with certainty, "Mr.Hunt, I dared to come here alone with you because I have leverage.Your
interrogation techniques are useless against me.Unless Black Cat comes in person, no one can make
me talk..."
Lawrence and two bodyguards stood behind Ruth.
Justin sat on the sofa with a cold expression and a strong aura.
At first glance, he reminded Nora of the first time she had met this man in California.
Only at times like these could Nora clearly see that this man had a noble status.
When he was not in front of her, the man's expression was high and mighty.
His entire body exuded an unapproachable aura.
He could not be bothered with Ruth and only lowered his head to handle the documents.
Lawrence was talking to Ruth instead.
"Miss Ruth, don't make things harder for yourself.Over the years, no one has ever been able to hide
anything from us..."
Ruth did not want to bother with him at all and directly said to Justin, "Mr.Hunt, it's useless for you to
ignore me like this.Aren't you afraid of the public's opinion? If I just disappear out of nowhere, I'm afraid
the outside world will start talking about you silencing me!"
Justin turned a page of the document, took out a pen, and signed it.
However, Lawrence said, "Tsk, Miss Ruth, you're looking down on the Hunts too much, aren't you? Do
you think a battle of public opinion will matter to us? Do you think you can publish such news as you
please with Y around?"
Ruth was stunned.She looked at Lawrence and saw strong confidence coming from this assistant.
It was as if those things were nothing to him.
She bit her lip.
"Shut up! I'm talking to Mr.Hunt.How can you interrupt?"
Lawrence raised his chin and sneered.
"Miss Ruth, you have to know that I'm only here to talk to you because I'm bored.Do you think you
would otherwise have the chance to talk to me?"
As Justin's special assistant, Lawrence's words had a very big say in New York! Ordinary people would
have to rack their brains if they wanted an opportunity to speak to him.He was very proud and aloof.
