Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 715

Herman, who didn't know that he had already hit Justin's sore spot, was still talking about how powerful Philip was.

As he spoke, Iris gradually lowered her head.

She knew that she had destroyed the family's peace and tranquility.

Just as she was suffering through her psychological ordeal, and while Herman stood on the moral high ground and criticized her...

Justin suddenly said, "So, that's why you were willing to give your wife to someone else? And even cooperate with him to act as if your son had been kidnapped?"

His simple few words made all the sounds in the room cease abruptly!

Iris' head also whipped up and she looked at them in disbelief.

Herman's mouth was still open. He was staring at him in shock because he had been exposed, and it seemed like he'd never expected Justin to say such a thing.

Iris went from being confused to being shocked. Her brows slowly drew together and she looked at Herman in disbelief. She swallowed and asked, "Justin, what do you mean?"

Herman immediately shouted, "Justin, don't you dare make false accusations’"

Justin lowered his eyes. "I didn't want to thoroughly embarrass you, but since you insist on getting into the

line of fire, then let's just speak frankly here!"

He looked at Herman and said, "When Philip Coleman visited the house as a guest and talked about his ex-girlfriend, you already knew that the ex-girlfriend he was talking about was Mom, right?"

Herman didn't admit it, but he suddenly didn't dare to look at Iris. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Justin sneered, "In the following few years, the Hunts showed faint signs of being suppressed. During those few years, the Smiths also gradually gained the upper hand, and it looked like they would soon surpass us and become the number one family in New York, didn't it?"

Herman immediately said, "That's because Ian Smith is very impressive, whereas I don't have any talent for business!"

"Is that so?"

Justin cast his eyes down. "The Hunts do not have the custom of only letting the eldest son or people from the direct lineage inherit the title of the head of the family. Although you were a bit of a jerk back then, Grandpa had chosen you. He must have a reason for doing so, right? Uncle Raymond, as well as my other uncles, were eyeing your position, yet they couldn't take it from you. Why was that? Is it also because you don't have any talent for business?"

Herman choked.

Justin continued to speak with a contemptuous smile on his face. "Outsiders all say that the elderly Mr. Smith had placed all his energy and focus into the company during those few times because of the heartbreak he'd suffered, but he had been in a total daze at that time, so how

could he possibly have had such great ambitions?"

Feeling that there was nothing to live for anymore, Ian had sought death at one point. He hadn't even cared about his family property anymore and had given everything to his nephew.

In fact, one could even say that before Nora's return, he hadn't even considered adopting Joel as his son. Instead, he was just giving it away.

Even if Ian had turned his sorrow into motivation after Yvette's departure, it was still impossible for him to really want to expand and develop the Smith Corporation. He would only casually work for the Smith Corporation out of sheer boredom.

But even when Ian was in a bad state of mind, the Hunts had gone from bad to worse. In addition, during that time, his grandfather had still been around and had been the person in charge of the Hunts. Herman hadn't taken over the family yet!

Herman was not at all as incompetent as what outsiders made him out to be. Otherwise, how would it have been possible for him to take Lauren with him to another country, start from zero, and achieve what he had currently accomplished in just twenty years?

That's right, Herman and Lauren already had a successful business abroad. The fact that Lauren had immediately organized such a large orchid exhibition when she'd only just returned to the country was enough proof of their current economic strength.

Moreover, there was something that Justin had actually been unable to figure out all these years.

Even if Herman had done something wrong and cheated on his wife, would anyone really be like the old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, and drive their son out of the house but keep their grandson?

All of these were choices that the Hunts had been forced to make back then!

When the elderly Mr. Hunt and Herman felt like they had come to their wits' end regarding the company, they immediately understood what had happened. Thus, Herman had promptly and decisively cheated on Iris, in order to make her give up hope on him.

They'd originally thought that Philip would let them off once they sacrificed Iris, but they were wrong.

At that time, the only thing Iris had cared about was her son. When she went traveling, she'd actually run into Philip. However, she had no plans to rekindle her relationship with him.
