She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Chapter 735 The Board of Directors!

Hearing that familiar voice, Xander’s pupils shrank greatly. Yet, a sense of longing suddenly welled up in him, and he said into the phone, “Daddy, I miss you.”

Even if there really were problems with the way Trueman taught Xander, Xander had ultimately still been brought up by him during the past five years.

In the Hunt Manor, Xander had to be subjected to so many people’s negative attitudes towards him. It was only with Trueman that he was the one and only person who mattered.

As soon as he said that, Trueman scoffed and said, “You miss me? Then why don’t you come back? I will arrange for someone to pick you up.” Xander paused.

Upon seeing his reaction, Trueman said, “See? I knew you wouldn’t come back once you’ve met your real parents! Even though you say that you miss me, your actions say otherwise, because you have already integrated into their family, right?”

Xander lowered his head. “Daddy, I won’t forget you.”

But he wasn’t going to go back there anymore.

From the moment he left the basement, he had never wanted to go back. Besides, he had only thought of going back earlier because of the animals.

However, Trueman had surprisingly sent them all to him.

This freed Xander from his last scruples.

Trueman didn’t force him to return, though. He merely asked, “Have you changed your name?”

Xander replied, “No.”

“Tsk, considering Justin Hunt’s personality, would he tolerate you having Yale as your last name? I am a villain in their eyes after all. It won’t make you much of a better person if your last name is also Yale!”

Xander wanted to explain on behalf of Justin, but he said nothing in the end.

By then, Trueman had already changed the subject. He asked, “How’s your mother?”

Xander didn’t understand his question, so he answered, “She’s fine. What about it?”

“… Nothing.”

Trueman wanted to say more, but someone suddenly knocked on the door-it was Cherry. She called out, “Xander, come on out! It’s time to eat~! The food today smells really delicious! They prepared your favorite chicken drumsticks~”

Upon hearing this, Xander said to the person on the other end of the phone call, “Daddy, I’m going to eat!”

After he said that, he hung up right away, opened the door, and ran out.

In another country. In a dark room somewhere.

As Trueman listened to the disconnected tone in his cell phone, he muttered, “That brat, how dare he hang up on me? He’s so heartless!”

Caleb’s amicable voice then rang out. “It’s not like you treat him well either. Now that he has found his real parents, he’s not going to come back for sure.”

Trueman’s voice rose instantly. “How did I not treat him well? I was even the one who saved his life!”

Caleb sighed. “Yes, okay, you saved him… but after that, you locked him up in the basement. Of course he’s going to be more comfortable there. He needs to lead a normal life too.”

“Hah.”

Trueman said sulkily, “Your coughing seems to have eased a lot!”

Caleb nodded. “Yeah, it got much better after I took the medicine. At the very least, I won’t have to suffer for the next three months. I probably also won’t have to suffer before I leave for good.”

“You’re such bad luck!”

.

After the family of six had lunch, Cherry, Pete, and Xander played together in the living room. The three little guys didn’t have the habit of taking naps but watching them made Nora sleepy.

Nora, who was staying so that she could spend more time with Xander, leaned against the sofa and watched them. At the same time, she mulled over where her mother would most likely put the V16.

At this time, Justin sat next to her and sighed. “Xander is still a little estranged from us. We’ll have to spend a lot of time with him to improve that.”

Nora nodded. “Yeah.”

Justin looked at her eagerly. “So, why don’t you just move in and stay here for now?”

Nora: “?”

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Justin.

Justin immediately made a vow. “I’m really just saying this for the children’s sake. Don’t worry, I won’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts about you!”

His attitude, which outright revealed everything he wanted to hide, simply rendered Nora speechless.

The corners of her lips spasmed. When she looked back at the children, she saw that Cherry, Pete, and Xander were all staring at her, as though they were all waiting for her answer.

Nora pretended to consider the suggestion.

Cherry immediately said, “Pete, how come other kids’ parents can all live together, but ours can’t? Sigh, we must really be the most pitiful children in the world!”

Xander asked, “Must everyone’s parents live together? Wouldn’t it be very crowded if they sleep on the same bed?”

Pete hurriedly interrupted Xander. He said, “But it’s warm when you’re squeezed together. I like to sleep with everyone snuggled up together.”

After the three children spoke, they continued to look at Nora eagerly.

Nora: “…”

She looked away, upon which she saw that Justin was also looking at her. As such, she could only look away again, yet when she did, she saw that even Iris was staring at her from the stairs as if she was eavesdropping on them.

Nora heaved a silent sigh and said, “Never mind, I’ll just stay here for tonight then!”

“Yay!”

“That’s awesome!”

“Mommy, sleep with us tonight!”

Cherry flailed about and danced with excitement. Although Pete and Xander didn’t say anything, the two boys’ eyes had lit up. It was apparent that they were also very happy.

Justin’s lips also curled into a smile.

At this moment, Lawrence strode into the room. When he saw Justin, he said respectfully, “Boss, Mr. Hunt has just proposed holding a board of directors meeting, so that they can re-elect the president of the Hunt Corporation.”

Justin sneered when he heard Lawrence. Suddenly, he asked, “So, he’s become certain that he has 50% of the total shares?”

Herman only had 5% of the company’s shares. He also bought some during the last few days at a high price, nearly spending all the money he’d earned abroad.

Raymond and his family had also expressed their full support for him. With the addition of some other shareholders as well…

Lawrence smiled. “He has been going around the last few days, so he has likely convinced some of them to take his side. As per your instructions, our men have also agreed to support him, so he is very confident now. Additionally, he has also been going around telling everyone that the Hunt Corporation is a place where only your words go…”

Justin sneered, “Then let’s see on that day just how many people are really in support of him!”

Lawrence nodded. Then, he said, “However, it seems like he received a call from Philip today. The latter clearly expressed his support for him, and has also handed over the 5% of company shares he owns…”

Lawrence had a smile on his face when he said this.

Justin nodded.

After Lawrence finished reporting all the work matters, he left at once.

Nora rolled her eyes and immediately understood everything when she saw the two men’s interaction.

She knew it, there was no way that guy would ever allow himself to become stuck in a disadvantageous situation. He definitely had a plan B lying in wait!

In order to gauge and evaluate which of the Hunts were disloyal, he was dangling 5% of the shares as bait so that he could clean them all out in one fell swoop!

He sure knew how to go with the flow. On the surface, he seemed like he was stuck in a difficult situation, but in truth, the whole thing was a trap that he had set up!

Justin understood at once when he saw the way she was looking at him. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry about me. You can also tell Uncle Ian not to waste any money, I know what I’m doing! You guys don’t have to worry, this situation will be resolved very soon. After all, if the Hunts are in too big a mess, Uncle Ian won’t let you marry me.”

He was dealing with the Hunt Corporationas well as the Hunts themselves-all for the sake of separating and clearing away the unnecessary and superfluous!

Since there was garbage that needed to be cleaned up among the Hunts, then that was what he would do. This way, he could also provide Nora, the lazy oaf, with a haven where she could sleep peacefully.

Nora curled her lips disdainfully. Suddenly, she said, “The way I see it, you’re the one who benefits the most from the whole thing!”

Justin chuckled. He was about to admit to it when Nora corrected herself and said, “No, the one who benefited the most is King! He sure is sly and cunning.”

After all, he’d earned 45 billion dollars for nothing!

Justin’s lip corners spasmed when he heard the words “sly and cunning”. He cleared his throat. When he was about to speak, Nora said, “Forget it, I won’t talk behind his back anymore. After all, I still have favors to ask of him!”

She had favors to ask of King?

Justin frowned. Suddenly, he turned Nora’s shoulders so that she faced him, and he asked, “Why favor do you need from King?”
