The butler came in at this point.
To be honest, the butler had already received news of the police officers’ impending arrival before they
had even arrived.He had specially asked Joel whether he should let them in or not.
The Smith Manor wasn't a place that they could enter just because they wanted to! Joel had agreed to
it at that time and instructed the Smiths’ bodyguards not to get into a conflict with them.
However, lan and Joel couldn't be bothered to explain.
After mocking them about it, Karl took his bowl of dumplings and started digging in.
He even said unceremoniously, "Get a room ready for me."
lan looked at him frostily.
"Are you even planning to take up permanent residence here?"
"Of course." Karl said, "I am now employed, so I will have to work in New York from now on.What, are
you guys going to drive me away? If so, then I'll be taking both my daughter and granddaughter with
me."
lan curled his lips disdainfully.
"Would I be afraid of you? I just think that it's too pitiful for you to live all by yourself! Fine, fine, stay
here if that's what you want!"
Seeing the two of them bickering, Joel and Tanya looked at each other.
Earlier, Tanya had no father.
lan had also given up on life and sought death.
But now, it seemed like everything was developing for the better...
Nora woke up after just 48 hours this time.
Firstly, it was because she had already made up more than thirty hours of her sleep debt previously.
Secondly, it was because she had to go to the hospital to visit Quentin.
Although the bone adhesion balm was great, it was necessary to reapply it every other week.
Moreover, she had to personally see to it because the application of the balm had to be accompanied
by acupuncture.
When she stretched, she saw that both Cherry and Pete were also on her bed and taking a nap with
her.
Everyone who should know about Cherry and Pete's identities was already aware by now, so Pete had
cut his hair short while Cherry was slowly growing out her hair.
The two little fellows' mouths were slightly open, and they looked really cute asleep.
While she was looking at them, Pete suddenly opened his eyes.
Although his eyes still looked a little dazed, he quickly recovered.
When he saw that she was awake, a touch of a smile formed on the little boy's face.He rubbed his eyes
and sat up.
"Mommy, do you want a glass of water?"
Nora had been asleep for an extended period of time.
Even though she had been injected with nutritional fluids, her throat was still parched and dry.She
replied hoarsely, "Yeah."
Pete slipped off the bed at once.He was about to go out and pour her a glass of water when the door
opened.
Justin pushed the door open and walked in with a glass of water and a bowl of plain oatmeal.
"I thought you might have woken up when I heard sounds coming from the room.Here, have some
water and oatmeal."
Nora: She thought of how she always saw the three of them right after she woke up during the last two
times she fell comatose.
She felt a little touched.Her cell phone beeped just as she finished the oatmeal.She picked it up to see
that it was a message from Brenda.
The message she had sent a day ago was: "Johnson has been tried and sentenced to death.He will be
executed immediately.Most of the money that Karl gave him over the years has also been recovered,
but there's nothing to be done about the portion that has been spent."
The message she had sent just now was: ‘Are you awake?’ Nora replied: ‘Yeah: Brenda called her at
once.
When Nora answered, an agitated Brenda said, "Hurry over to the special department, Nora! Ruth has
managed to get those people to talk after using the plans that Black Cat drew up! As it turns out, the
mysterious organization really is related to your mother! The situation is very disadvantageous for you
right now!"
Hearing this, Nora narrowed her eyes at once and said, "Okay, I'm on my way."
After hanging up the phone, Nora stroked Pete's head.
Then, she looked at the sleeping Cherry and whispered, "Look after Cherry.Don't let her play games all
day"
Pete nodded seriously and replied, "Okay"
Nora then got up, changed, and went out.
Justin drove her there.
Nora was in the passenger seat.
On the way to the special department, she suddenly thought of Trueman.
She opened her chat record with him and found that he still hadn't answered the question that she
asked him the last time.
Nora asked again: ‘Who plotted my pregnancy?’
The person who had managed to plot her pregnancy must also be capable of drugging Justin.
This was definitely no simple person.
Trueman didn't reply to her right away.
Nora frowned.
As if he could sense her emotions, Justin suddenly said, "No matter what happens, it has nothing to do
with you."
Taken aback, Nora turned to look at him.
Justin then said, "The previous generation's affairs have nothing to do with us.Even if your mother has
really done something, it has nothing to do with you."
Nora lowered her eyes.
After a while, she nodded.
To be honest, she had already seen it coming.
Just like what Morris had said at the beginning, he had also suspected Yvette of being involved in the
production of the gene serum.
Back then, on the grounds of treating someone's illness, Yvette had escaped after she left the police
station.
With that in mind, she arrived at the special department.
As soon as she entered, she noticed that the way the people there looked at her had changed a little.
Nora frowned.
At this moment, Brenda rushed out, grabbed her, and took her straight to her office.
After entering, Brenda closed the door, blocking out the gazes and gossips of the people outside.
When she looked back behind her, she saw that Nora was already seated on the sofa in her office.
Brenda said, "Excuse me, Nora, she is already starting to bully you.Why are you still so calm?!"
Nora raised her eyebrows.
"Alright, tell me, how did she bully me?"
Brenda sat in front of her and explained, "She has already made them talk.Those people are saying
that your mother, Yvette Anderson, was a member of the mysterious organization! On top of that, her
status in there was pretty high!"
Nora nodded.
"And then?" Brenda sighed.
"All the bodyguards who were arrested are saying the same thing.They came back to the States this
time to look for your mother! They even said that..."
Brenda glanced at her and went on."...that you are also involved in this.They said that you are their
undercover agent"
Following what she said, the door to Brenda's office was pushed open.
A few people from the special department stood outside, all of them staring at Nora.
Brenda's expression changed at once.
She looked at them harshly and demanded, "What do you think you're doing? Are you staging a
rebellion?"
The few of them hesitated for a moment.
Then, they said, "Captain Brenda, it's like this.The suspects have said that Nora is their undercover
agent..."
Brenda sneered, "And you believe them?"
They sighed and replied, "We don't believe them, either, but according to the regulations, we have to
ask her a few questions."
Brenda let out a "hmph".
"What kind of questions? Don't you know what she has done for the special department? Two days
ago, it was none other than Nora who exposed Johnson's conspiracy here and allowed one of our
undercover comrades to return to the light.It was also her who let you people know who the more
reliable one between Captain Johnson and Captain Ford is! But now you're actually running over to
interrogate her? Also, have you people asked Captain Ford for permission to interrogate her?"
Reprimanded by Brenda, none of them dared to speak.
At this moment, a voice reached them.
"Don't be mad, Captain Brenda.Everyone is just trying to do their jobs..."
The few of them stepped aside, upon which Ruth walked over from behind.
Ruth had been very popular in the special department recently because of the interrogation plan that
she and Black Cat had designed.
Everyone had become a believer of her.
In addition, all of them had interrogated the suspects for many days —in fact, some of them had even
started to employ torture methods —yet none of them had managed to make the bodyguards talk.
Despite that, Ruth's interrogation methods had easily made them talk, which gave everyone a new
perception of her interrogation abilities.
Originally, because of the Johnson incident, everyone had distanced themselves from Ruth somewhat.
However, everyone here admired capable people.
Ruth's ability had made everyone's fondness for her grow exponentially.
Moreover, because the interrogation plan was designed by Black Cat and her, Morris had left her in
charge of all interrogation matters.
Ruth looked at the two of them, a smile still on her face.Her dimples made her look like a little girl next
door.
Brenda stared at her.
"What? You want to interrogate Nora too? Are you worthy of that?"
Ruth lowered her eyes.
"How would I dare to do that? I know Ms.Smith's status in the special department is special, and also
know very much just how much Captain Ford values her, so how would I possibly dare to interrogate
her?"
"Then hurry up and get the hell out of here!" Brenda shouted sharply.
Ruth sighed.
"Captain Brenda, all the bodyguards are now saying that Yvette Anderson was the second-in-command
in the special department back then.She was also involved in the development of the gene serum and
other issues.
All of them came to the States just to search for her! Moreover, they also said that she is in possession
of all the theories and mechanics of the gene serum! Yvette Anderson alone can establish another
mysterious organization!"
Brenda sneered, "So? Yvette Anderson is dead!"
Ruth looked at Nora.
"But her daughter is still alive."
