After hanging up the phone, Joel sat on the sofa and looked quietly into the distance, his heart a little heavy.

Nora often came back to have dinner with the Smiths after she started staying with the Hunts but Ian had never specially informed him about it before. Ian’s solemn behavior regarding her coming over this time gave Joel the feeling that he might have found out about what had happened.

When Mindy handed him his schedule for today, the sharp Joel had discovered the problem.

He’d already stated long ago that he would not be seeking information from that account anymore, yet as part of his itinerary that day, Mindy had still arranged for him a meeting with a certain person. This showed that Mindy hadn’t given up yet.

Joel knew that those few subordinates of his had never actually given up on the account.

After all, an account like that would allow them to create their own legendary era of the Smiths!

He could understand his nine subordinates’ feelings.

They had been with him since their college days. Even when they went abroad for further studies, it was all for the sake of better assisting him upon their return. They rose and fell together with him.

If Joel’s authority among the Smiths fell, their status in the company would also fall along with his. They were loyal and dedicated to him.

This was especially the case for Mindy. Being the lone woman among the nine, she was exceptionally capable. Although he had told them not to take any action, it was highly likely that she had already done something to Nora.

Joel also roughly knew what she had done.

Mindy was not like Quentin, she wasn’t capable of big moves like assassinating someone. The most she could do was just create a bit of trouble to annoy Nora.

To be honest, Joel knew that Mindy should be dealt with, but he still wanted to protect her.
