Chapter 799


    Cherry’s mouth was stuffed, so her cheeks were bulging. Her big eyes were full of anticipation as she


    said, “My live-streams are really fun!”


    Ian: “…”


    Cherry went on. “Plus, I have a Sponsor Grandpa in my live-stream who’s my number one fan. Will you


    come and tip me?”


    Ian swallowed a piece of meat and coughed. As Nora and Joel looked over with knowing looks, he


    coughed again and said, “Sure, I’lle to cheer you on tonight!”


    “Yay! I knew Grandpa loves me the most! It’s just a pity that Daddy is not at home, otherwise, he would


    also havee. Sigh!”


    Speaking of Justin, Cherry couldn’t help but look at Nora. “When is Daddying back?”

    The table instantly fell silent.


    None of the Smiths dared to say anything, seemingly afraid that they would make Nora sad.


    On the contrary, it was Nora who suddenly raised her head and looked at everyone in confusion, not


    quite sure what was wrong. Then, she lowered her head again and resumed eating


    Everyone was speechless.


    After everyone finished eating, Tanya looked at Nora hesitantly and said, “Nora, um… My condolences.”


    Nora: “?”


    She was a little confused. “Huh?”


    Tanya spoke again. “Um, about Justin…”


    Only then did Nora suddenly realize something. “Oh, I forgot that Justin is dead.”


    No wonder they had all looked at her when Cherry mentioned her father just now. She forgot that Justin


    had faked his death.


    A slightly chagrined Nora smacked her forehead.


    In novels, they never let the heroine know about fake death plots. Why was Justin so unreliable even for


    something as simple as this? She had to constantly keep in mind that he was “dead”.


    Nora sighed silently. “I’m so sad.”


    After saying that, she speared a piece of steak and put it into her mouth. Then, she speared another


    piece and put it on Cherry’s te. “Here, have more!”


    Everyone was speechless.


    Wasn’t she sad?


    Why was she eating so heartily?!


    They then looked at the three children and Nora again, only to see the four of them exchanging looks


    with one another and then digging into their food happily.


    Nora had already instructed the three little fellows that they mustn’t say in front of outsiders that their


    father was still alive.


    Everyone: “…”


    After the meal, Nora went upstairs with the four children. Tanya, who had stayed behind to direct the


    servants in cleaning up, couldn’t help but look at Joel. She said, “I heard that some people stop feeling


    sad when they be too sad. Nora probably hasn’t recovered yet! She may not know what death


    really means, sigh! Some people suffer a whole year before they truly recover.”


    Joel also frowned. He asked, “Should we get Nora a therapist?”


    “Will that be too much fanfare?”


    Tanya was a little hesitant. “Besides, Nora is a doctor herself, and an all-around one at that.”


    Joel became a little troubled.


    Ian, who was listening from the side, said, “No, it’s not necessary. I think this is pretty good. If she can’t


    live just because her lover died, then she’s not worthy of being my, Ian Smith’s, daughter!”


    Tanya and Joel: “?”


    Both of them had question marks all around their heads. Then, they looked at him in unison.


    Who was the one who wanted to die all the time back then?! Just because Yvette was dead?!


    Ian didn’t get the look in the couple’s eyes at all. He merely said, “Alright, Joel,e on, let’s take care


    of our business.”


    Joel nodded. When the three of them went upstairs, Tanya was still thinking to herself that Nora must be


    thoroughly heartbroken.


    Nora had always been like that. When they were living abroad, among the group of parents searching for


    their missing children, she had seemed to be the one in the best mental condition.


    In truth, though, she was awfully broken deep down. Once she set her mind on something, she stuck


    with it for a lifetime.


    It seemed that Tanya would have to find an opportunity to have a chat with her.


    With that in mind, Tanya entered Nora’s bedroom. The four children were ying, so the ce was very


    lively. Tanya said, “Nora, Dad and Joel want you to meet them in the study. They said they have


    something to talk to you about.”


    Nora nodded, left the four children to Tanya, and headed to the study.


    As soon as she entered, she saw Joel and Ian sitting upright on the sofa with serious expressions on


    their faces. They looked at her. After she entered, Joel got up to confirm that no one was outside. It was


    only after he got someone to stand guard at the door that he finally closed it.


    It went to show just how important this matter was that the two of them were about to bring up.


    Even Nora couldn’t help but straighten her back. She felt as if what Ian and Joel were going to talk about


    might be a matter of life and death for the Smiths!


    Otherwise, why would they be so secretive about it?


    While she was thinking about it, Ian said, “Nora, it’s like this. In order to guarantee that Joel has absolute


    control in thepany, I’ve given 51% of my shares to him, so there’s only less than 20% left for you


    and the children. Joel feels that you are getting too little.”


    The nd topic made Nora yawn, and she felt a little sleepy. “It’s already a lot. It’s not like I do any work


    there.”


    Her words made Ian choke and he looked at Joel.


    Joel said with a smile, “In addition to the shares, the Smiths have another important inheritance. Since


    Dad has shown partiality toward me in the shares, then let’s give the ount to you instead!”


    Nora was taken aback. “What ount are you talking about?”


    Joel lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “You heard us talking about the Imperial League the other


    time, right?”


    Nora: “??!”


    Joel went on. “Dad also mentioned it the other time, he had spent a lot of effort back then to join the


    Imperial League group. In the group, people share business information with one another and you can


    get information there earlier than anywhere else in the market. You should understand the significance of


    the ount, right?”


    “… Yeah, I do.”


    Joel nodded and looked at Ian. “So, Dad’s ount will be handed over to you. Now, I’m going to tell you


    the Imperial League’s rules and regtions.”


    Ian nodded and took out his cell phone with a very grave look on his face.


    His behavior made Nora feel like they might be performing some kind of sacrificial ceremony.


    Nora’s lip corners spasmed. “It’s fine.”


    Ian sighed. “I know, you don’t want to take advantage of Joel, either. This ount is indeed more


    valuable than any amount of shares. Just share the really important information with him in the future


    and it’ll do.”


    Joel also nodded. “Nora, you don’t need to feel awkward about this.”


    Nora replied, “… I’m not feeling awkward. I just don’t need the ount.”
