Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Pete lowered his eyes. “Yes, I do.”
Although he did want to drive Xander away, it wasn’t going to be through such despicable means. Besides…
A tinge of anger flashed across Pete’s eyes.
Xander was Daddy’s son. He only wanted to drive him away because he was worried that his existence would affect Mommy’s emotions.
But this did not mean that outsiders could bully him!
If Xander was up to no good, or if he made Mommy uncomfortable, then Pete definitely would not be soft-hearted. However, he couldn’t lie in this instance.
Justin looked at the son, whom he had brought up, with satisfaction.
No matter the situation, Pete had never disappointed him. He would play little tricks to make him neglect Xander a little, but in the face of what was right and wrong, he was never ambiguous.
He ruffled Pete’s hair gently. Then, he looked at Jack’s mother. With a sharp look in his eyes, he said, “It seems like Gordon has been a little too busy lately. That must be why he hasn’t been educating Jack properly. In that case, I’ll just let him come back and spend some quality time with his son!”
Gordon Hunt was Jack’s father.
Although he wasn’t a prized member of the company or family, Justin would still assign him some jobs and projects so that he could earn a bit of extra money from them.
But now that they had the audacity to call Xander an illegitimate child…
In that case, he didn’t need to continue with those jobs and projects anymore.
Justin could dislike and ignore his son-in fact, he could even lecture him—but other people were not allowed to!
As soon as Justin said that, blood drained from Jack’s mother’s face. She said, “Justin, I… I… Let me explain…”
“I only believe what Pete says.”
Justin interrupted her. Then, he looked at the butler. “Since Jack misbehaves so much, he needs to be educated properly. Don’t let him attend classes at the Hunts’ private school for a while.”
“Yes, sir.”
The butler answered. Then, with a wave, security officers rushed in. They grabbed Jack and his mother immediately and took the two of them out.
Jack’s mother was dumbfounded.
All the children of the Hunts studied in the Hunts’ private school in order to build relationships with one another. After all, there were fewer and fewer people in the direct lineage. If the people in the side families were too far away, who would still remember them in the future?
Yet Justin had straight-up barred Jack from attending classes with just a word!
This showed that the Hunts were intending to abandon their family.
She screamed and cried. She wanted to apologize, and she wanted to speak, but Justin didn’t give her the opportunity to. He drove them out straight away.
Xander stared blankly at everything happening in front of him.
He hadn’t expected Pete to speak up for him, nor had he expected the tyrant to deal with the problem like that.
He remembered that he had also fought with a kid before in the past, but Daddy Trueman had told him that he had to find a way to deal with it himself. If he beat them up and made them bleed, then they wouldn’t dare to bully him anymore.
It was only then that Xander had started attacking others. In the beginning, he only used his tiny little fists. It was only when he found that it didn’t make the other party bleed that he started to bite.
Every time he bit someone and made them bleed, Trueman would applaud and say, “Good job! Keep that up!”
But now…
Justin was actually dealing with the kid who had bullied him on his behalf?
He suddenly felt like this family was not that bad either…
Just as his imagination was running wild, Justin squatted down again and looked straight at him. He asked, “Xander, were you here looking for me?”
Xander looked at the man in front of him.
He looked a little dazed, and his big dark eyes were filled with confusion and perplexity.
When the man squatted down to speak with him, he looked straight at him. Every time Daddy Trueman spoke with him, he always looked at him from above, making him feel as if he was ordering him about.
But the tyrant was not like that.
His behavior made him feel respected.
Xander swallowed. He glanced at Pete again and then, he suddenly said, “I came to tell you about my birthday.”
When Justin heard this, his eyes narrowed and he asked, “When is it?”
Xander was about to answer when his cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting him.
Xander took out his cell phone, upon which he saw the word “Daddy” on the screen-it was Trueman. He was a little surprised. When he answered the phone, Trueman said, “I heard someone bullied you at the Hunts’?”
Xander turned and glanced at Justin. He grinned and said, “I bit his ear off!”
“Good job.”
Trueman let out a deep chuckle and said, “As expected of the son I brought up!”
His father’s praise gave Xander a sense of accomplishment. As soon as he lifted his little chin, he heard Trueman ask, “How did Justin deal with the situation after you bit him?”
Xander looked at Justin. Then, his big dark eyes swiveled around. As though he was avoiding the question, he answered, “What else can he do? Just like that, I guess. Daddy, the food here is pretty nice.”
When Trueman heard this, he fell silent for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “If it tastes good, then just stay there a few more days.”
Xander nodded. “Okay.”
He had made an agreement with Trueman before he came. They had agreed that for the sake of his rabbits, cats, and dogs, he would only stay in the United States for a maximum of ten days.
When he first came, he had been very resistant.
But now, just a moment ago, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to stay here too.
As soon as the thought formed, he heard Trueman say, “Oh, pass the phone to your father. I want to tell him something and have him take good care of you.”
Although Xander felt that it wasn’t appropriate to do that, he had never gone against Trueman’s orders. Thus, he looked at Justin and said, “Here.”
Justin had been observing him the whole time.
In the basement the other time, he had heard that Ruth had mistreated him. Thus, he didn’t know how Trueman treated the child. But judging from the way he spoke on the phone, it seemed that his relationship with Trueman was pretty good.
Xander was smart. That was why he was able to bully Ruth. Judging from how he and Trueman got along, at the very least, Trueman likely did not abuse him.
The discovery made Justin feel a little more comfortable. He answered the phone, but because he didn’t want the children to hear their conversation, he walked to the side and said softly, “Hello.”
“Mr. Hunt, my sister is dead.”
There was some faint amusement in Trueman’s voice when he said that, as though he had never once cared whether Ruth lived or died.
Justin lowered his eyes. “Oh? She left the country after I released her. What happened next has nothing to do with me.”
Needless to say, Ruth had been killed by someone he sent.
Child abusers like her shouldn’t stay alive in the world.
Besides, when she was in the country, she had given Nora trouble too.
Justin was no kind soul. There was no doubt that he was a merciless man.
Trueman chuckled and said, “I am not calling to hold you accountable. Rather, I just wanted to tell you that she has, after all, never treated Xander well. I’ve wanted to deal with her for very long. It’s just a pity that the Yales’ family teachings don’t allow us to do anything to our family members.”
Justin: “…”
As early as Trueman’s first contact with him, he had already known that Ruth didn’t matter that much to Trueman. Even so, he didn’t expect her to be this unimportant.
From the looks of it, it now seemed more like Trueman was using him to deal with Ruth.
But that didn’t matter.
Had it been before, when Justin felt that Ruth was dispensable, he might have been angry at being taken advantage of by Trueman. But now, even if he was restraining himself and stopping himself from getting too close to Xander before they figured out his birth origin, the things Ruth did to Xander were still unforgivable!
He lowered his eyes. “What are you calling me for?”
