Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 1005

Pete's question made everyone look at Justin.

Only Nora, who seemed to have vaguely guessed something, pressed her lips together and kept quiet.

Justin let out a small sigh. He squatted down, looked at Xander, and stroked his head. "Xander, you have two options now."

The puzzled Xander looked at him. "What?"

"The first one: we capture and bring Trueman back, lock him up for life, and never let him show his face outside. This way, you'll be able to live on openly."

Xander:"?"

Stunned, the boy didn't seem to be able to quite digest the news.

What was going on?

What was this sudden plot twist?

He didn't have to die anymore?

They had the V16 now?

While he was thinking, Nora asked, "What is the second option?"

Justin answered, "We let Trueman go free while you stay hidden for life, unable to ever appear before others."

Pete frowned.

Cherry asked blankly, "Why?"

At her question, Justin explained to the three children seriously, "Because we can't let outsiders know that a

third V16 exists."

Other five-year-olds were still naive and innocent at this stage of their lives, but the three of them were different. All three of them were exceptionally intelligent, so Justin felt it necessary to explain everything to them clearly.

Xander suddenly realized something. "A third V16 exists?"

Justin kept quiet for a while and looked at Nora.

When he was about to speak, Nora interjected and spoke ahead of him. "My guess is that there exists not just a third but also a fourth, fifth, and even more. Am I right?"

Justin sighed.

He knew he wouldn't be able to hide anything from Nora.

He nodded.

However, Xander didn't understand. "But didn't Grandma only leave two? They were at the university!"

Nora explained, "That's because your father only allowed your grandma to leave two."

The more Xander heard, the more confused he became.

He felt like he didn't understand what was going on at all.

He stared at them blankly.

Nora, however, looked at Justin and asked, "If I'm not wrong, the V16 is actually me, right?"

A resigned Justin nodded. "When did you realize?"

"I became suspicious when you told me to give Trueman the V16." Nora lowered her eyes. "Also, back when we found out that Barbarian was coming to New York for the V16 and that Mom had left clues in the bank, I slept very deeply for an hour that night. When I woke up, I found a needle hole on my sole, an inconspicuous part of the body. I didn't think much about it at that time but come to think of it now, you must have extracted my blood? Therefore, my blood is the V16, right? No, to be exact, my plasma is the V16."

Justin nodded. "That's right."

Enlightenment dawned upon Nora. "So, back then, when you faked your death, your purpose was to create an illusion for them that those were the only V16s left, so if they failed to get their hands on them, they would die! It wasn't a diversion tactic at all..."

When Justin's identity as King was still a secret, Nora had really been under the impression that he was diverting attention away from her.

But after his identity as King was revealed, Nora didn't understand anymore... Since he was so powerful, why did he still have to divert attention away from her? But she finally understood now—
