Chapter 276 – The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Nora had just gone upstairs when she heard a voice behind her.

She took a look and realized that the housekeeper had followed her. When the housekeeper saw her, she walked beside her. “Little Miss’s room is over here. Don’t walk around recklessly. It won’t be good if you bump into the masters.”

Nora raised her brows.

When she walked into Mia’s room, she saw a study room with its door open. There were four main computers in it, and they were currently running.

She only took a glance at it before the housekeeper introduced, “This is our Miss… Miss Yvonne’s work studio. She likes coding programs as a hobby. Sometimes, she would make some software with it. The firewall Miss Yvonne created has even won awards. These four main computers are servers bought at high prices overseas. Don’t barge in recklessly. If you accidentally press some button and affect Miss Yvonne’s software programming, it won’t be good.”

These things were too familiar. Nora could not help but ask, “Is she a hacker?”

“What hacker? This is just Miss Yvonne’s hobby. She only writes some code occasionally. Miss Yvonne is omnipotent. She knows how to arrange flowers, draw, calligraphy, violin, and piano! She’s basically won every industry award!”

The housekeeper sounded a little proud when she said this.

Then, she said, “Although Miss Yvonne is an adopted daughter, she’s the adopted daughter of Master Ian. Her status is definitely different from the other gentlemen and ladies in the other houses. Other than Mr. Joel, all the other gentlemen dote on her very much. They treat her with respect!”

Although some of the Smiths lived at home, some of them had moved out.

Actually, strictly speaking, Ian was the owner of this manor. Joel had been chosen by him to become the current leader and take over his businesses.

In ancient times, this was considered adoption for Ian.

Warren and his wife could only be considered to be living in the manor. There were also people from the other houses who had already moved out.

Even if Nora was the daughter of the Smiths, she was from the second branch. She was not considered the matriarch of this manor.

The housekeeper knew very well who the owner of the house was.

Nora glanced sideways at her upon hearing her words.

After showing Mia’s door to Nora, the housekeeper left.

When she went downstairs to the kitchen, she heard the nannies discussing softly. “Miss Smith is going to marry Mr. Hunt in the future. Then she will be Mrs. Hunt, and she will become the mistress of the entire Hunt Empire. But our Miss… Miss Yvonne, after she gets married, she won’t be considered a member of the Smiths anymore. In the entire New York, other than the Hunts, no one can compare to the Smiths, right? Is Miss Smith more respected, or is Miss Yvonne?”

The housekeeper immediately entered and sneered. “Have the rules in the house been broken? Of course, the owner is the most respected!

Florence Stone, the housekeeper in charge of internal affairs at the Smiths’, was Ian’s diehard fan. She was absolutely loyal to the Smiths and had great respect and admiration for Ian.

She had witnessed with her own eyes how Ian had gone from someone shrewd and capable, lively and active, and someone who loved talking and smiling—to the zombie he currently was, all because of Yvette.

She hated Yvette with every fiber of her being.

Therefore, she always looked at things from Ian’s perspective. She reprimanded, “Even if Ms. Nora becomes Mrs. Hunt in the future, she’s still just Ms. Smith now! Mr. Ian’s daughter is the noblest of all! Although Ms. Yvonne is adopted, she’s Mr. Ian’s adopted daughter. Can’t you tell which of the two matters more?”

The nannies hung their heads upon being reprimanded, none of them daring to speak anymore.

When Nora went to Mia’s room, the two girls were already fast asleep.

This wasn’t the first time Cherry was sleeping together with a friend. The little fellow was carefree and slept very soundly. Mia, on the other hand, was relatively restrained. Her arms were placed on both sides properly. Even though she was asleep, her little face nevertheless made one want to dote on her.

Nora pulled up the covers for the children and went out.

As soon as she did, she ran into Joel who had just returned home from work.

Nora raised her eyebrows when the two ran into each other.

Joel was also a little surprised, though he quickly reacted. He said, “I’m here to take a look at Mia.”

Nora nodded.

When she stepped aside and got ready to leave, Joel suddenly said, “By the way, please tell Mr. Hunt that he can just ask us directly if there’s something he wants to know. Isn’t it a little too impolite to hack into the Smiths’ computer system without permission?”

Nora: “???”

She was stunned for a moment before she realized that Joel had misunderstood. As she had been too anxious to know Ian’s itinerary back then, she hadn’t covered her tracks in the afternoon. This was equivalent to blatantly breaking into the Smiths’ computer system.

She coughed but didn’t explain. Instead, she replied calmly, “I will let him know.”

Joel stared at her. He couldn’t help feeling like something wasn’t quite right with the woman after he had said that, yet he couldn’t pinpoint the reason why. Thus, he nodded and entered Mia’s bedroom instead.

Nora walked back to her room with a guilty conscience. She had only just taken two steps when her phone rang.

She held it up and took a look in the silent corridor—it was actually from Justin.

Perhaps because she was feeling too guilty, she actually picked up the call right away. She asked, “What’s up?”

Justin said dispassionately, “Let’s switch the children back tomorrow.”

Nora’s voice was low as she asked, “Is Pete missing me?”

“… Yeah, I guess you could say that.” Justin said, “Let’s have lunch at noon with the children and then switch them back?”

Nora answered very sincerely, “I can’t wake up in time.”

“How about at night, then?”

Nora nodded without much care. “Okay.”

After the two agreed on the time, Nora was about to hang up when Justin asked, “Was the supper good?”

“It was alright.” After Nora answered, she thought of the lineup when the fellow sent food over earlier in the day and said, “You don’t have to go to so much trouble.”

“It’s your first day there,” Justin explained, “I was afraid that you would be looked down upon. After all, there are too many people in this world too blind to tell good and bad people apart.”

Looked down upon…

Nora subconsciously thought of Florence, and the corners of her lips curled into a smile. “What’s the big deal?”

Since she relied on the Smiths for neither food nor living expenses, it meant that she had a lot of freedom here. At the worst, she could just move out. She didn’t need anything from the Smiths.

Apart from speaking a little sarcastically, the housekeeper didn’t really do anything, so she couldn’t be bothered to hold it against her, either.

Nora yawned and went back to her room to sleep.

She was awakened by the alarm clock the next day. She had to send Cherry to the kindergarten. When she yawned and went downstairs, she found that Mia and Cherry were already awake and sitting at the dining table.

Florence instructed the servants to bring the food out. Cherry’s eyes lit up when she saw that they were having pancakes for breakfast. She said, “I want pancakes!”

She stretched out her little hand after she spoke, intending to take the plate of pancakes from the nanny.

Florence, however, took the plate of pancakes and gave it to Mia instead. She said to Cherry, “Ms. Cherry, this is Ms. Mia’s. If you want some, I’ll get them to bring you another plate of it.”

Cherry’s expression turned cold at once. She was about to say something when Mia pushed the plate of pancakes to Cherry. “You can have them first. They can just give me another plate of pancakes when they are done. I can eat the scrambled eggs first, yeah!”
