Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
After hanging up, Justin played with his phone.
He could not wait 12 hours to tell Joel such important news. Otherwise, how could he use it as a tactic?
Moreover, judging him by his own standards, it was as if he did not know that he had a daughter back then. He would definitely want to hear this news as soon as possible.
Therefore, he sent Joel a message: “Brother-in-law, let me in. I have an important message for you and Miss Tanya.”
“Mr. Smith, we found some clues!”
Joel was on the phone at this moment. The assistant opposite him was in Switzerland, so the investigation was a little slow.
His eyes were cold, and his usual smile was gone. He glanced at Tanya, who was playing with Mia, and said simply, “Speak.”
“Hillary did indeed receive help from others to sue you in Switzerland. Moreover, the Joneses’ attitude suddenly became domineering after going overseas. They said that they will fight this lawsuit to the end with us!”
Joel’s gaze turned even colder. “Whose help did they receive?”
The assistant said a name. “Karl Moore.”
Joel narrowed his eyes.
Of course, he knew this person.
Karl Moore was an American Chinese.
Currently, the underground forces in Switzerland were very large, so he was very famous overseas. His name was often heard in the country.
Although the Smiths and Hunts were the top families which controlled the economic lifeline in the country, internationally, their impacts were still a little small.
But Karl Moore was different.
They were mercenaries, and the people in their team were all retired special forces from Switzerland. They privately accepted difficult missions, such as assassinations.
The name of their organization could be translated to “Assassin.”
Ever since the organization was established, none of the assassination plans had failed!
They were an assassin allIance exceptionally vigilant in the world!
Therefore, the Swiss people maintained a good relationship with them. Even the major families in the country were wary of this organization.
Karl Moore was the leader of the organization. Whether the organization accepted the assassination mission or not was entirely up to him.
The Joneses had nothing to do with such a person. Why was he suddenly protecting them?
Joel frowned. “Why is he helping them?”
The other party might not even take a liking to the Joneses if they packed all their assets and gave them to Karl Moore. Furthermore, they were going against the Smiths. Karl Moore had always shown the Smiths respect.
The assistant said, “I’m still investigating.”
Joel’s gaze turned colder. “Yes. Investigate all that you can. If you can’t, tell Karl Moore that the Smiths respect him, but we’re not afraid of him! There’s no room for negotiation regarding the child!”
The assistant took a deep breath. “Yes!”
After hanging up, Joel saw Justin’s message and slowly frowned.
He had important news to tell him and Tanya?
He was probably telling him that he wanted to enter the house.
But if he was including Tanya… then something must have happened.
Could it be related to the email Nora had mentioned before she fainted?
He looked at Ian and said, “Uncle Ian, let’s allow Mr. Hunt in.”
Ian said unhappily, “No.”
In the afternoon, when he gave Cherry tips, Justin had been suppressing him and had insisted on competing with him for the first place on the list. This made him even more unhappy.
Does he want to marry his daughter? Ha.
Joel looked at Cherry, and the little fellow immediately ran to Ian. “Grandpa, Grandpa~ Let Daddy in. I miss Daddy~”
Ian: “…”
Could he reject his obedient granddaughter’s request?
The answer was no.
Ian’s lips twitched as he glared at Joel.
The news of Justin standing outside the door was reported to him by the butler when he came in. Cherry and Pete did not know at all.
During dinner, Cherry even looked at the door curiously and asked, “Why isn’t Daddy here yet?”
Ian said coldly, “He’s probably busy with work.”
Cherry was still a little unhappy. “Okay~”
Ian took the opportunity to brainwash her. “It’s most irresponsible of a parent to ignore the child when they’re busy. Let’s not like him anymore, okay?”
Cherry’s eyes widened when she heard this.
Then, she looked at Ian and retorted, “Grandpa, I can’t do that.”
Ian was curious. “Why?”
Cherry sighed. “Mommy has been busy sleeping since we were young. She’s even more irresponsible. At least Daddy spends twice as much time with me every day than Mommy does!”
Ian: “!!”
He had never seen the way Nora interacted with the two children. He did not expect that he would also have to bring his daughter into this.
At that time, he could only change the topic forcefully. “Yes, what I said just now was just a test for you. I didn’t expect our Cherry to be so smart. You actually passed Grandpa’s test.”
Cherry immediately looked up and smiled. Her big black eyes swept past Pete. “Pete, did you see that? Grandpa doesn’t like Daddy and wants to badmouth Daddy. I’m the best! He can’t even say anything about Daddy!”
Pete: “…”
He sighed silently. He kept wondering ever since Cherry came home, why had the tyrant and this grandfather, who was rumored to be very serious, become so childish?
Ian had been hiding it from Cherry and did not tell her.
Moreover, he did not feel guilty at all. How dare Justin secretly tell her not to like her Sponsor Grandpa?!
However, now that Cherry had heard Joel’s words, Ian could not stop her. Otherwise, wouldn’t he become a bad grandfather?
Ian could only say to the butler indignantly, “Invite him in.”
The butler glanced at Joel and left with a smile.
Joel was already the head of the Smiths now. After all, Ian had been on his deathbed in the past and had not cared about the family’s matters at all.
However, Ian’s wish was Joel’s command.
When everyone saw how respectful Joel was to Ian, they did not dare to disrespect Ian either.
Soon, Justin entered.
Wearing a black suit, he walked in steadily. After entering, he greeted Ian respectfully, “Uncle Ian.”
Ian snorted and looked at Joel. “Joel, the guest is here. Treat him well.”
He looked like he wanted to ignore him.
Justin rubbed his nose awkwardly and looked at Cherry.
Cherry had already run over excitedly and hugged his leg. “Daddy, why are you just getting here now?! Didn’t you agree to sleep here tonight? I’m still waiting for you to tuck me in!”
When she said this, Justin looked at Ian. When he saw Ian’s eyes flicker, he chuckled softly and said, “Yes, Daddy was busy with work.”
He did not expose Ian’s lie.
This made Ian feel a little better. Then, he saw Justin looking at him mischievously. “As for sleeping with you tonight…”
He drawled, his eyes questioning.
Ian coughed and looked at the butler. “Have you prepared the guest room?”
The butler held in his laughter. “I’ve already prepared it. It’s next to Miss Nora’s room. The room is very big and comfortable.”
Ever since Yvonne was arrested and Nora’s identity as Ian’s daughter was exposed, the people in the family had accepted Nora as the eldest daughter.
Ian waved her hand. “Alright, Joel. Take the guest upstairs to have a look.”
Joel smiled as well. He let Mia play downstairs and took Justin upstairs. Halfway there, he looked at Tanya. “Tanya, you come too.”
Tanya looked up in confusion and subconsciously stood up to follow him upstairs.
Ian couldn’t help but say, “You guys have just reunited. Aren’t you two being too mushy?”
Tanya’s face couldn’t help but turn red.
Joel coughed and smiled. “Uncle Ian, please understand.”
