Charming Lady Hard To Chase After Being Dumped

‘‘Never offend Justin…”

Joel mentally repeated the words and looked at lan, perplexed.

Uncle lan had transformed the Smith Corporation from a company always in second place into one that was ranked equally with the Hunt Corporation.

Over the years, he had seen so much happen in the country, yet in spite of that, he had still reminded Joel to stay vigilant and not to offend Justin.

Just how powerful and capable was Justin? While he was musing, lan said, "If he truly cares about Nora, then he won't mind even if I make things difficult for him now.But if he's not, then let me be the one to offend him.I don't have that long to live anymore anyway.You're still young, you shouldn't do things that might jeopardize your future."

Hearing the graveness in his words, Joel nodded hurriedly and replied, "I will keep that in mind, Dad."

Fortunately, he had accepted Justin's goodwill when he took the initiative to build a good relationship with him.

Thus, the two of them currently shared a pretty decent relationship.

He also suddenly understood why lan hadn't reprimanded him when he allowed Justin to enter the house the other time.

On the contrary, he had even somewhat given tacit approval to it.

In the beginning, he'd thought that it was because lan was ultimately still somewhat satisfied with Justin, but now it seemed like that might not be the case, after all.

Just as Nora left the house, she ran into Pete and Mia returning home hand in hand.

Pete was carrying a large school bag on his back, his little face was expressionless.He was totally a mini Justin.When his big round eyes caught sight of Nora, he subconsciously pulled his hand out from Mia's.

Nora's gaze swept across Mia.

There was no sign of unhappiness on the little girl’s small face with the pointed chin, indicating that the events in the kindergarten indeed hadn't affected her.

Moreover, Mia had always been very timid in the past and seemed fainthearted at everything she did.

However, the timid look on her face seemed to have dissipated a little.It seemed like Pete had given her a lot of confidence.

Joel was right—the two times when Tanya had met with cyberbullying and experienced reputation crises had indeed made Mia mature quite a fair bit.

While Nora was observing Mia, a puzzled Pete asked, "Mommy, where are you going?"

"Cough."

For some reason, Nora felt a little guilty.

Her eyes shifted about and she looked at the sky as she replied, "Mm, I'm going out to discuss some work matters with someone."

She couldn't help but keep feeling a little guilty that she and Justin were going out on a date without Pete and Cherry.

Pete hesitated for a moment.
