Chapter 552


    With that, the entire room fell silent.


    Amos and Heather were stunned.


    The two of them looked atn at the same time.


    n, what do you mean?"


    Joel looked atn in confusion.


    His domineering attitude stunned Amos and Heather.


    In the past, whenn raised Joel by his side, the two of them were worried thatn would not ept


    Joel.


    They had asked for adoption before, butn said that he was just a nephew.


    They were all members of The Smith family.


    Whether they went through with the adoption or not was only a formality.


    However, the two of them did not expectn to change his tune now.


    Joel was also stunned as he looked atn in a daze.


    "Joel, would you like to be my son?"


    Joel''s eyes turned red.


    After so many years, he had gained a lot of knowledge fromn and learned how to manage the


    company.It could be said that he was personally taught byn.


    When he was young, everyone told him thatn was only teasing him by bringing him along.


    Otherwise, why wouldn''t he go through with the adoption? He had also asked Ian this question.


    However,n said, "Because I don''t need a son.I raised you only because the Smithsck a


    sessor."


    Joel understood at that time thatn had never thought of him as a son.


    He was only doing his duty to the family.


    Joel treated him as his father in his heart, and he knew thatn had never wanted to leave any worries


    in this world.


    He never expectedn to make such a suggestion so many years after Joel inherited the Smiths.


    Joel could maintain hisposure in the face ofpany matters, but at this moment, he was a little


    moved.


    His voice was trembling as he said, "Of course I would, Unclen."


    "You''re still calling me Unclen?"


    Joel''s mouth moved.He seemed embarrassed to have said that word.


    However, Tanya, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "Dad, Nora will be my aunt from now


    on!"


    Her words woke Joel up.


    Joel''s lips trembled again as he shouted, "Dad."


    He had not calledn Dad for more than twenty years.


    "Yes, son"


    "I''ll get thewyers to handle all the formalities.I hope that the two of you will maintain a distance from


    Joel in the future! After all, you have to avoid arousing suspicion! Understand? If I ever find out again


    that the two of you are doing something outside calling yourselves Joel''s parents, don''t me me for


    being rude!"


    His tone was filled with dense killing intent.


    Both Amos and Heather were frightened.


    The two of them did not dare to say anything else.

    They stood up and said, "Okay."


    "I''ll arrange for you guys to go overseas.Don''te back again."


    The two of them:"..."


    They had not expected that not only would they fail to trickn, they would even lose what they already


    had! After this irksome couple left, Joel quickly restrained his emotions and looked at Nora.


    He asked, "Nora, Karl...What''s going on with Karl?"


    Nora clicked her tongue.


    This brother was indeed smart.


    From what she had said earlier, he guessed that Karl might have a n.


    In order not to make Tanya worry, Nora said, "I asked Uncle Karl today.He''s actually an informant.I''ve


    already found and asked his contact toe out.If nothing goes wrong, he can be released the day


    after tomorrow."


    This sentence shocked Tanya.


    "What?"


    Joel was also a little stunned and found it unbelievable.


    "The boss of the Assassin Alliance...is an informant for the police? Why does this sound so hard to


    believe?"


    The corners of Nora''s lips spasmed.She had also found it hard to believe when she first heard Karl''s


    words.


    However, other than this, there seemed to be no other exnation.She nodded silently at Joel and


    Tanya.


    Tanya:"..."


    She suddenly felt likeughing and crying.


    After a while, she only sighed deeply.


    However, Nora did not have the time to chat with them here.She looked at her phone and realized that


    it was already past four o''clock.She hurriedly said, "I have a date.I''ll get going then."


    Seeing that Nora was about to go upstairs instead of out the door, Tanya asked, "I thought you had to


    go out for the date, why are you going upstairs?"


    Nora kept walking without turning back as she replied, "...To change my clothes."


    Tanya:"?"


    Joel:"??"


    He looked at Nora''s back and an angry expression instantly appeared on his face.


    Tanya and Joel hurriedly looked in opposite directions and pretended not to have seenn''s current


    appearance.


    After changing her clothes, Nora tidied her hair in the mirror again before going downstairs.She strode


    out happily.She did not notice the eyes of the old father behind her filled with sadness and worry.


    Joel walked ton''s side and sighed.


    "Dad, actually, Justin is not that evil.At least in front of Nora, he''s very obedient"


    "What do you know?"


    "His identity...is too mysterious.Nora definitely can''t get the upper hand over someone like him.She''ll be


    yed by him."


    Joel frowned.


    However, he was guessing in his heart.


    What was Justin''s identity? He could actually maken so vignt? He frowned and asked, "He is..."


    <pn was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "This is my guess.In short, you should make sure


    you never offend Justin."
