Mrs.Hunt went on and on.
"Look at how I have to mediate for her despite how much I dislike her.What else can I do when Justin
has already acknowledged her status?! Her embarrassing herself is equivalent to embarrassing Justin,
which is equivalent to embarrassing the Hunts!"
Mrs.Lewis held Mrs.Hunt's arm and said, "Slow down a little.I told you to take the elevator, but you
simply refused to.Can you go down the stairs with your knees like that?"
Mrs.Hunt replied huffily, "Considering the situation in the hall, it'll take even longer for me to reach if I
take the elevator!"
The out-of-breath woman reached the lower floor just in time to hear Rachel saying, "Without a strong
family to support you, you'll be hated by the Hunts sooner or later and will be divorced!"
She panicked at once.
She was about to speak when she heard lan's comment.
Mrs.Hunt was stunned.
Justin looked at Nora—although her brows were raised slightly, and she was a little surprised, she
didn't look greatly astonished.
He knew right away that she must already have guessed something a long time ago.
Nora had already given it a lot of thought.
After realizing that Henry Smith was not her real father, she had started to wonder why her mother had
picked him out of all the ordinary men out there.
After she came to New York, she had come to understand the way her mother did things.
She was likely someone not to be trifled with, in which case, she would definitely know what kind of
person Henry was.
Therefore, her mother must have had her reasons for picking him.
She had thought about it over and over and even gone through all the events from back then.
The Henry of that time couldn't get any more ordinary than what he had been.
If there was anything unusual about him, it was the fact that his last name was Smith.
After all, there weren't that many people with the last name Smith.
His last name was Smith...
In that case, did that mean that her father was lan? She had already suspected that a long time ago,
which was why she had paid special attention to lan's condition.
That was also why she had followed him when he asked her to go to the balcony with him just now.
She had even planned to find an opportunity to take a DNA sample from him and get Lily to do a test.
Therefore, she wasn't very surprised when lan said what he did.
Rachel, however, was dumbfounded.
"W-what do you mean?"
Yvonne also looked at lan in shock and astonishment.
When she saw him staring at Nora, she suddenly panicked lan slowly lowered his head and said
dispassionately, "She is a child of the Smiths"
The whole hall was silent.
Everyone stared at lan in disbelief.
Yvonne was also astonished and bewildered.
She looked at Nora, and then at lan...
One must admit that Nora took after Yvette a great deal, but the parts that didn't did indeed resemble
lan! Her legs went limp and she staggered.
Even Rachel was utterly stunned.
"What? T-that's impossible!"
She was just a hillbilly! It was impossible for her to suddenly become Cinderella! lan must be lying!
Warren was also dumbfounded.
He had been arguing with his wife just a moment ago.
His wife had been unhappy at him for making things difficult for Nora and had given him a warning in
private, so he had been very angry.
He said, "I don’t care whether she did anything wrong or not.Yvonne is my sister.Am I supposed to
abandon my sister and take her side instead ? No way!"
Maureen was furious when she heard that.
"Can you be reasonable? Besides, Yvonne is not related to you by blood anyway.How is she even your
sister?!"
Warren reprimanded her.
"How can you say that? She is Uncle lan's adopted daughter, and she grew up in the Smiths.That
makes her my sister! I look only at family ties, not reason! Hmph, Nora can only blame herself for not
being a daughter of the Smiths!"
Maureen was so mad that she was about to go berserk.
But unexpectedly, things had suddenly taken a huge turn! Warren was also dumbfounded.
When Rachel said what she did, he subconsciously also asked, "Is Uncle lan's illness making him
muddleheaded?"
Joel's gentle but stern voice reached him.
"Uncle lan would never take matters about the Smiths’ bloodline lightly.Nora does indeed have blood
relations with the Smiths! She's our cousin!"
Warren:"!!"
Everyone:"I"
This piece of news was simply too sensational! As it turned out, Yvette Anderson's daughter was
actually lan Smith's daughter? Then why did she run away when she became pregnant? Hadn't they
been in love? Didn't they say that Yvette had betrayed lan? However! The hillbilly's sudden
transformation into a young lady of the Smiths sure was dramatic! No wonder Yvonne had stopped
competing with her.
And no wonder Nora could catch Justin's eye! Just as everyone was speculating, Nora suddenly
asked, "Why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?"
Everyone:"??"
Why did it look like Nora wasn't very happy about it? Had they been in her shoes, they would have just
acknowledged the Smiths as family first and left the talk for later! Who cared about evidence or
whatnot?! They were the Smiths! Yet, Nora had asked about it.
Joel answered seriously, "We did a DNA test."
It was just like what she had thought.
Nora thought back to the other time at the medical university when someone had tugged a few strands
of hair off her head.
Was he sent by the Smiths? No...
The Smiths would never send someone to kill her.
In the midst of her thoughts, Justin smiled and said, "Uncle lan, Joel, let's go upstairs, find a quiet
place, and have a good talk.I think Nora also wants to know what exactly is going on"
It wasn't appropriate to talk about the details in public.Joel looked at lan.
When he saw him nodding, he replied, "Okay”
Justin led the way.
Nora followed beside him.
Joel pushed lan's wheelchair and followed behind them.
The four of them went upstairs and entered a meeting room.
As soon as they entered, Joel took the initiative to take out the results of the DNA test they did the
other time.
He handed it to Nora and said, "This is the evidence’’ Nora took it from him casually.She glanced at lan
but didn‘t see any traces of joy on him.
When she looked down at the report in her hand, her eyes widened in astonishment.This...How could
this be?!
