Chapter 724 The Hunts Who Plot Against One Another

Nora was standing upstairs and watching the intense discussion downstairs.

She clearly saw that Justin had trembled lightly when Mrs. Hunt walked out.

Nora sighed silently.

Justin might never have ever thought that his grandmother, who had raised him into an adult, would also be part of the group of people plotting against him.

How sad and lonely must that man surrounded by his so-called family members be right now?

Justin was a man who had always been scheming and inscrutable, so he didn’t say anything

Iris, however, stared at the group of people. The woman, who now knew the truth, was suffering quite the mental breakdown at the moment—not for herself, but for her son!

Her entire body shook with anger, and she rushed up to Herman, stretched out her hand, and slapped him across the cheek.

Smack!

 

She had put all of her strength into the slap, causing Herman’s head to turn to the side.

Nora saw that Herman could have avoided the slap, but he didn’t. Instead, he chose to take

it.

Iris screamed, “Herman Hunt, you are so despicable! Never mind that you plotted against me, but how can you plot against even your own son?!”

Herman’s head was turned to the side. The handprint on his cheek quickly swelled up visibly, which went to show just how furious Iris was.

He looked at Iris calmly. “Iris, I don’t mind if you blame me for this. It’s all because I am too incapable. Twenty years ago, I didn’t have the ability to keep you by my side; twenty years later, I still don’t have the ability to keep you with me. When we got married, we had clearly vowed that we would never abandon each other for the rest of our lives, but unfortunately, you have offended someone you should not have.”

When Herman said that, there was sorrow in his eyes as he gazed at Iris.

To be honest, hadn’t he also loved Iris when he was young?

In fact, one could even say that he still did.
