But now that they weren't suing him anymore, the man would probably have to pay an even higher price to appease Mr.Hunt.
The butler wasn't the only one who understood that; the man understood it even better.
He panicked at once.
"I was wrong, Mr.Hunt.Please let me off!"
Unfortunately, Justin was no longer paying attention to him.
What more did he have to say to him when his girlfriend's feet were uncomfortable? He waved casually.
The security guards immediately dragged the men to the door...
Once they went out the door, he would really have to pay the price for his actions! The man was so terrified that he yelled, "Isn't she just a woman who looks a little better than most, Mr.Hunt? Who is she to you? Why would you protect her like that?!"
The place fell silent.
Everyone looked at Justin curiously.
Yvonne clenched her fingers nervously.
Justin wouldn't admit it, right? After all, Nora's status was too low; she wasn't worthy of him at all.
If he admitted it on an occasion like this, everyone would hear of it! Having a girlfriend in private and showing her off to everyone were two completely different things! Nora raised her eyebrows.
She said unhurriedly, "We don't have any"
Before she could finish, a warm arm suddenly snaked around her waist, and her feet left the ground the next moment—Justin had picked up her and was carrying her in his arms! Her head whipped toward him, and she saw Justin carry her to the sofa next to them with his gaze lowered.
He put her down gently when he reached the sofa.
It was only then that everyone finally noticed that he had been holding an exquisite bag all this time.
He opened the bag, took out the shoes inside, and slowly squatted down.
He took off the shoes that Nora was wearing, and then changed her shoes for her.
His series of actions came so suddenly that even Nora herself was dumbfounded.
Never would she have ever thought that the lofty man high up in the air would actually squat down and change her shoes for her.
Then, the man stood up straight as if he wasn't the person who had just bent over.
As if overlooking everyone from the top, he slowly said, "Let me make the introductions.This is my girlfriend, Ms.Nora Smith.The entire hall was filled with silence.Everyone looked at them in disbelief.Melissa and Sheril hadn't expected at all that Justin would disregard everything and reveal their relationship on an occasion like this.
To be honest, the Andersons were already no longer comparable to the Hunts thirty years ago.
Yvette had been able to make everyone take notice of her because she was simply that outstanding, so much so that the Hunts and the Smiths found it an honor to have her marry into the family.
But the Andersons were just a down-and-out family these days.
Besides, that situation just now...
Melissa and Sheril exchanged a look.
Sheril leaned toward Melissa and whispered, "Mom, Mr.Hunt is serious about Nora’’
And wasn't that so? She was the two children's mother, after all! Melissa was never one to underestimate children from her own family.
She asked, "Why does Nora look a little unhappy to me, though?"
Sheril followed her gaze and looked over to see Nora frowning.
She was indeed a little unhappy. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She had always stayed low-profile ever since she was a child, and had never wanted anyone to pay any attention to her.
Once she became Justin's girlfriend or even the future Mrs.Hunt people would definitely pay attention to her.
Of course, this was also the reason why she had kept pushing Justin away, and forbade herself from developing feelings for him all this time.
Yet that guy had actually announced their relationship in public? Had he asked her for permission? And had she agreed to it? But there was no use crying over spilled milk.
She frowned and started thinking of a way to get out of the situation unscathed.
Seemingly having sensed her displeasure, Justin lowered his head as if to explain, yet also as if to cover up his actions.
He said, "They were too much just now, Nora.I didn't manage to hold myself back for a moment there and ended up revealing our relationship.You won't mind, right?"
Nora:"?"
He didn't manage to hold himself back for a moment there ? Did he really think that she would believe his nonsense? Given the man’s personality, she would believe it if he said that he held himself back and stopped himself from doing something, but she would never believe it if he said that he did something in a moment of impulse!
As the head of the Hunts and the leader of the top conglomerate in the States, would he do something ‘in a moment of impulse’? The corners of Nora's lips spasmed.
She looked at him and saw that his usually deep and bottomless eyes looked a little tentative and nervous, as though he really was sincerely apologizing.
Even the beauty mark at the corner of his eye seemed to be exuding a vague feeling that he had suffered injustice, making her unable to pursue the matter at all.
In the end, her words went a few rounds in her throat only to finally turn into two words filled with resignation."...Never mind."
Justin nodded.
"Mm, although we aren't going to get married, you're still the children’s mother, so it's okay to let outsiders know about our relationship, right, Nora?"
‘Nora’?
It was only then that Nora noticed that the man had started using a different term of address for her at some point.
However, it did sound pretty nice when the scumbag uttered her name with his deep and slightly raspy voice.
She lowered her gaze and glanced at the new pair of shoes.
Although they were also high heels, their soles finally weren't that slippery anymore, so she could manage them now.
In the distance.
The man whom the security guards were holding down was stunned.
He looked at Nora in disbelief, and then looked toward the crowd, trying to find Warren.
Didn't Warren say that she was a socialite? But there was no way Mr.Hunt would acknowledge a socialite as his girlfriend in public! He had been tricked! By the time he reacted, the security guards were already dragging him out after a wave from the butler.
He was utterly despondent.
What was he to do? He had finally realized just what kind of mistake he had made.
Besides, even he himself felt that his behavior was no different from having a death wish!
