Chapter 278 - Illegitimate Daughter?
Yvonne was slightly stunned. She watched as Nora raised her eyebrows and walked over to push his wheelchair to the balcony. An inexplicable sense of danger enveloped Yvonne's entire body.
It was as if this woman would slowly snatch everything away from her in the future!
Ian had always ignored others. Even his attitude toward her had always been very cold. But now, he actually wanted to talk to Nora alone!
While she was hesitating, Warren walked over and said gloatingly, "See, Uncle Ian must want to chat with her to make her leave Justin! I really want to see the situation in an idol drama. Uncle Ian will probably throw a cheque at her and domineeringly order her to leave him!"
Yvonne was speechless.
Maureen: "…"
Maureen couldn't help but grab Warren's ear. "Do you think you're living in a novel? Let me tell you, Miss Smith is Cherry's mother. You're not allowed to target her!"
When Rachel heard Warren's words, she smiled and said, "Miss Smith, I really envy you. Even if you're not his biological daughter, Mr. Smith is still willing to stand up for you. But my father…"
At this point, her expression turned ferocious. "He only knows to scold me every day. Nothing I do is right. Aunt is always right! Am I even his biological daughter?"
Yvonne was speechless.
This Rachel was too annoying!
She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She smiled and said, "Every father has a different personality."
Rachel nodded. "My father only knows how to scold me!"
Yvonne lowered her head when she heard this.
She had never been scolded since she was young, but actually, she also wanted to be scolded by her father.
Yvonne's eyes flickered. "Actually, you should have learned from Nora. After all, she has already become Mr. Hunt's girlfriend. Your father said that about you for your own good."
Rachel was exasperated by her words. "Why do you say that, too? What's so good about her?"

On the balcony.
After Nora pushed Ian over, she closed the sliding door on the balcony. After blocking out the noise in the hall, only the sound of cars honking could be heard from the balcony.
She looked at him and saw that he did not seem to have any intention of speaking. She coughed and said, "What are you planning to say, Mr. Smith?"
Ian was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked, "Did your mother say anything before she passed away?"
Nora: "…"
Ian had called her over so openly just to ask this question?
He wanted to know if her mother had left any words for him before she died.
What did he want her mother to say? That she regretted it? That she loved him? Or something else?
Sensing that she did not speak for a long time, Ian laughed dryly and said, "What was I thinking? You were only half a year old when she passed away. How could you know?"
Nora: "…"
He has already answered his own question. Why does he still want her to answer?
She did not say anything else and waited for him to ask her to bring him back.
However, after a moment of hesitation, Ian said, "You can go back first."
Nora: "??"
She nodded and opened the sliding door, returning to the hall.
Looking at her back, Ian was silent for a long time.
He felt like he was looking at Yvette from more than twenty years ago.
Not only did the mother and daughter look alike, but their temperaments were also similar. They were the kind of people who did whatever they wanted and did not care about how others looked at them.
Back then, Yvette had offended many people because of this personality.
She had become the public enemy of many women.
However, she never cared about what others said about her behind her back. The words she often said were: "Will I lose a pound of flesh if they say a few words about me? Since I won't, why should I care?"
"They're talking about me behind my back because they're jealous of me."
"It's all my fault for being so outstanding that I became the topic of conversation. Sigh, I, with my beauty and intelligence coexisting together am simply too perfect. I'm afraid it's only because I'm too impressive!"
"…"
She was narcissistic and mockingly snobbish.
However, the mother and daughter were different.
Yvette was a talkative woman, and although she looked very graceful, that image was broken once she spoke. On the other hand, Nora was very quiet. It was as if she could not even bring herself to talk.
Ian was immersed in his own thoughts and could not extricate himself.
—
When Nora walked out of the balcony, Yvonne caught her immediately.
Seeing her calm expression, Ian did not seem to have said anything overboard.
That made sense. No matter how much money her father gave her, was it worth as much as the Hunt Corporation?
Any woman would choose Justin.
She lowered her gaze, her eyes glinting.
Nora yawned. Just as she was about to look for Cherry, she turned around and accidentally bumped into someone. She looked over and saw a familiar face. It was Rachel.
Nora was stunned. She subconsciously said, "I'm sorry."
When she said this, her tone was cold and arrogant.
With that, she lowered her head slightly and planned to walk around Rachel. However, after taking two steps, she was stopped by the other party. "You bumped into me. Is it over just by apologizing?"
Nora: "?"
She was a little confused for a moment as her lips curled into a mocking smile. "Should I kneel and beg for mercy?"
It was just a bump. It did not hurt her… Nora really did not know how to apologize.
Rachel was furious. "What kind of attitude is that?"
Nora: "…"
What was wrong with her attitude?
She was about to say something when Yvonne grabbed Rachel and smiled apologetically at Nora. "Miss Smith, it's nothing."
After saying that, she whispered to Rachel, "Rachel, take it easy. She's Mr. Hunt's girlfriend. Under such circumstances, don't be so rude to her!"
Rachel instantly exploded.
When she was at home, her father would often scold her, saying that she was wrong in this and was not good at that. He would say she could not compare to Nora and even asked her to contact Nora more often when she was free.
Yeah right!
Nora was a country bumpkin from the countryside. Why should she curry favors with her?
That was why she looked for Yvonne. In the entire New York, other than Miss Hunt, who had studied abroad, Yvonne was probably the most respected.
But why was even Yvonne afraid of Nora now?
Rachel panicked and pushed Yvonne away. "What are you afraid of? She's just an illegitimate daughter. How can she compare to you?"
Yvonne panicked. "Don't talk nonsense…"
At this moment, Rachel spoke without thinking. Her voice instantly rose. "How am I talking nonsense? Am I wrong? Didn't you see it during the last live broadcast? Her father isn't even her biological father! Her mother was pregnant before she even got married. She got her father to be a spare tire and take over!"
At this moment, Ian turned his head when he heard this.
