Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
He lowered his head and said, “Mom, don’t be scared.”
After saying that, he picked up the cell phone, got up, and answered the call. A deep and pleasant male voice traveled over through the phone: “Iris, you have broken our agreement.”
Nora stood beside Iris.
She held Iris’ shoulders and looked fixedly at Justin.
Justin said into the phone, “From now on, I will be the one to fulfill that agreement.”
The original agreement was that Iris would age and die alone in the suburban villa as punishment. If she couldn’t restrain herself and got close to her son, then Philip would take action against the Hunts and Justin.
When Justin said that he would fulfill the agreement, the man immediately understood what he meant.
Philip sneered, “Heh, that weak little boy from back then has grown up and become independent, hasn’t he? In that case, I’ll teach you how to behave.”
As soon as he said that, Iris panicked. She rushed forward and shouted, “Philip, come right at me if you want! Don’t do anything to the child, you…”
But before she could finish, Philip snapped, “Iris, that’s enough!”
Iris was taken aback.
Philip smiled and said, “Aren’t you just saying that because you’re very sure that I won’t do anything to you? Now that the kid has grown up, you can’t blame me for being nasty anymore!”
He hung up right after saying that.
Iris: “…”
The disconnected tone from the phone resounded in the depths of her heart like the bangs of a drum, making her feel terribly flustered. She swallowed and looked up at Justin, feeling like she had become the sinner of the Hunts.
The most mysterious megacorp was about to take action against her son.
Iris grabbed Justin’s arm. She wanted to say that she would go and apologize to the other party, but when the words reached the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t bring herself to say them-because if she did, then it would be no different from her throwing her own pride onto the ground and trampling on it.
Iris took a deep breath.
Just as she was filled with worry and trepidation, she saw Justin walk around her and look at Nora. He asked, “Nora, are you scared?”
Nora raised her brows. The Hunts had offended the most mysterious megacorp in the world, which sounded pretty exciting. Also, if Justin really lost everything, then wouldn’t Pete’s status as the next head of the family become useless?
But…
She broke into a grin and raised her eyes slightly. “It’s okay, if you go bankrupt, I’ll support you…”
After saying that, she spotted Iris, so the rest of her words did a U-turn in her mouth and she added, “… guys.”
Justin: “?”
He’d originally intended to tell her not to be scared, but he hadn’t expected Nora to say something like that. Suddenly, it made him really feel like going bankrupt for fun.
It seemed like it wasn’t that bad an idea to have a sugar mommy and be kept as a lover?
Ahem.
Iris looked at the two of them, suddenly finding herself speechless.
This must be love.
If she had trusted Philip back then, things would not have come to where they were. Now that she thought about it, so what even if she had to fight to the death with her family back then?
At most, she would have just started all over from scratch.
The woman, who was nearly fifty, was moved by the love between Nora and Justin. This inspired the greatest fighting spirit in her.
She said, “Okay, if we go bankrupt, then… we’ll let Nora support us!”
Justin: “?”
The corners of his lips spasmed. Those who didn’t know better would have thought that Iris was saying that she would support them after he went bankrupt!
He couldn’t reveal his identity, but when he saw that the two women seemed so full of fighting spirit, he got out of his internal struggle. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, even though I would very much like to sponge off a woman, I’ll refrain from trying that.” He spoke solemnly. “With me around, the Hunts will not go bankrupt.”
Her son’s firm and confident words made Iris’ flustered heart calm down.
To be honest, before she told the truth, she’d still been taking a chance.
She felt that since twenty years had gone by, perhaps Philip had already forgotten her a long time ago, or perhaps he no longer minded. But now that things had reached this point, it was useless to dwell any further on
it.
When she was young, for Justin’s sake, she had suffered so many grievances and wasted twenty years of her youth in this villa.
Now that her son had grown up, it was time for him to support and protect her.
After Iris came to terms with it, she got out of her internal struggle. She suggested, “How about having a meal before you leave?”
“Nah, it’s fine.”
Justin rejected her. Iris nodded and said, “Well, I’m sure you have a lot of arrangements to make. In that case, go ahead!”
Justin exchanged a look with Nora when he heard this.
There were some things that Justin was too embarrassed to say, but Nora understood what he was thinking, so she said, “Well, he does have a lot to do, but the most important thing now is helping you to move out, Iris.”
Iris was a little surprised.
She looked at Justin in disbelief, only to see him nodding at her.
Iris bit her lip. “S-surely there’s no need for that? I’ve already become accustomed to living here.”
“Really?” Nora was a little troubled. “But both of us will be very busy in the future. I was thinking of asking you to take care of the three children at home…”
At the mention of the children, Iris hesitated.
