Pete nodded. “Yeah.”
The two children then skipped out of the classroom.
The video ended there.
Joel looked at Amos and Heather. “Life isn’t always smooth-sailing. Sometimes, some small bumps can increase the child’s courage to overcome them. Furthermore, Ever since Tanya’s return, Mia is clearly more confident than before! Therefore, she doesn’t need your so-called care at all.”
With that, his eyes turned cold as he said, “I still have something to ask the two of you. Only the children’s guardians are allowed to watch the surveillance camera footage from the kindergarten. How did you know that Mia was being bullied? You got someone to steal the footage, and now you’re even trying to use it to trick us?”
Joel’s questions got sharper and sharper. In the end, his voice was already icy cold.
Of course Joel knew that Mia might not be doing well in school.
Joel had still insisted that Mia go. Mia was too timid. She had to learn how to face the world.
However, this did not mean that Joel had thrown his daughter out. He had been paying attention to her every moment in school. Therefore, when he saw Amos and Heather’s video, he was not surprised at all because he had already known about it long ago.
Amos and Heather swallowed hard. The two of them clearly did not expect Joel to realize so quickly what they had done!
As they hesitated and thought about how to explain this, Ian said forcefully, “Amos, Heather, if there’s no reasonable explanation for this, then you should know the consequences!”
Amos instantly looked up and straightened his neck. “Ian, we were anxious because we saw the video and didn’t understand the situation! Besides, no matter what, Joel is our son! What’s wrong with us meddling in his family matters? Can’t parents control their children?!”
Heather said, “That’s right, Ian. As his parents, can’t we criticize him a little?”
Their unreasonable behavior made Ian take a deep breath.
He looked at Joel and suddenly sighed. “From today onwards, he’s no longer your son.”
With that, the entire room fell silent.
Amos and Heather were stunned. The two of them looked at Ian at the same time. “Ian, what do you mean?”
Joel looked at lan in confusion.
Ian lowered his eyes and said slowly, “Back then, when I handed the position of the family head to Joel, I hesitated to formally adopt Joel under my own name. Now that I think about it, it would have been better to adopt him. This way, at the very least, it would’ve shut your stupid mouths. Not just anyone can mock my successor!”
His domineering attitude stunned Amos and Heather.
In the past, when Ian raised Joel by his side, the two of them were worried that Ian would not accept Joel. They had asked for adoption before, but Ian said that he was just a nephew.
They were all members of The Smith family. Whether they went through with the adoption or not was only a formality.
However, the two of them did not expect Ian to change his tune now.
Joel was also stunned as he looked at Ian in a daze.
Ian stared at him. “Joel, would you like to be my son?”
Joel’s eyes turned red.
After so many years, he had gained a lot of knowledge from Ian and learned how to manage the company. It could be said that he was personally taught by Ian.
When he was young, everyone told him that Ian was only teasing him by bringing him along. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he go through with the adoption?
He had also asked Ian this question.
However, Ian said, “Because I don’t need a son. I raised you only because the Smiths lack a successor.”
Joel understood at that time that Ian had never thought of him as a son. He was only doing his duty to the family.
Ian always had a distant attitude toward him.
Joel treated him as his father in his heart, and he knew that Ian had never wanted to leave any worries in this world.
He never expected Ian to make such a suggestion so many years after Joel inherited the Smiths.
Joel could maintain his composure in the face of company matters, but at this moment, he was a little moved. His voice was trembling as he said, “Of course I would, Uncle Ian.”
Ian smiled. “You’re still calling me Uncle Ian?”
Joel’s mouth moved. He seemed embarrassed to have said that word.
However, Tanya, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, “Dad, Nora will be my aunt from now on!”
Her words woke Joel up.
Joel’s lips trembled again as he shouted, “Dad.”
He had not called Ian Dad for more than twenty years.
“Yes, son.”
Ian responded and looked at the shocked Amos and Heather. “I’ll get the lawyers to handle all the formalities. I hope that the two of you will maintain a distance from Joel in the future! After all, you have to avoid arousing suspicion! Understand? If I ever find out again that the two of you are doing something outside calling yourselves Joel’s parents, don’t blame me for being rude!”
His tone was filled with dense killing intent.
Both Amos and Heather were frightened. The two of them did not dare to say anything else. They stood up and said, “Okay.”
Ian left another sentence. “I’ll arrange for you guys to go overseas. Don’t come back again.”
The two of them: “…”
They had not expected that not only would they fail to trick Ian, they would even lose what they already had!
After this irksome couple left, Joel quickly restrained his emotions and looked at Nora. He asked, “Nora, Karl… What’s going on with Karl?”
Nora clicked her tongue.
This brother was indeed smart. From what she had said earlier, he guessed that Karl might have a plan.
In order not to make Tanya worry, Nora said, “I asked Uncle Karl today. He’s actually an informant. I’ve already found and asked his contact to come out. If nothing goes wrong, he can be released the day after tomorrow.”
This sentence shocked Tanya. “What?”
Joel was also a little stunned and found it unbelievable. “The boss of the Assassin Alliance… is an informant for the police? Why does this sound so hard to believe?”
The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed.
She had also found it hard to believe when she first heard Karl’s words.
However, other than this, there seemed to be no other explanation.
She nodded silently at Joel and Tanya.
Tanya: “…”
She suddenly felt like laughing and crying. After a while, she only sighed deeply.
However, Nora did not have the time to chat with them here. She looked at her phone and realized that it was already past four o’clock. She hurriedly said, “I have a date. I’ll get going then.”
Seeing that Nora was about to go upstairs instead of out the door, Tanya asked, “I thought you had to go out for the date, why are you going upstairs?”
Nora kept walking without turning back as she replied, “… To change my clothes.”
Tanya: “?”
