Nora thought about his question carefully.
Earlier, she hadn't told Justin about it because it was forbidden for the members of the Imperial League to reveal anything to outsiders. Should they do so, they would be violating the agreement, and she had always been a very rule-abiding person.
But since Ian and the others had already brought it up in front of Justin, then Nora felt that there were some things that she could still say.
She immediately answered, "Old Maddy once told me that if I wanted to fight against the mysterious organization, I must get full support from King."
Justin frowned. "Why?"
Nora shook her head. "He didn't explain."
Justin was puzzled.
For a moment, he wanted to acknowledge that identity of his, but when he thought of how he couldn't violate the agreement and reveal his identity to outsiders, he could only keep his silence. Instead, he said, "It shouldn't be difficult to get his support."
Nora nodded. "We'll see. Just focus on your affairs for now. Meanwhile, I will also think carefully about how exactly I should look for leads about the V16."
Clues to the V16 must be hidden among the things that her mother had left her.
As for where exactly that was, though, she hadn't figured that out yet.
Justin wanted to say something, but Lawrence had entered again and was reporting to him the current situation in the company.
At the sight, Nora didn't speak anymore.
That night, Nora stayed at the Hunts'.
After Justin hurriedly finished dealing with the company's affairs, the restless man's mind was completely on returning home as quickly as possible. After handing over the company's affairs to Lawrence, he went home straight away.
Lawrence couldn't help but ask Sean, "Is Boss busy with something? Why is he in such a hurry?"
Sean:"..."
He kept quiet for a moment. Then, he coughed and answered, "Perhaps, I guess."
Their boss' wife was at the Hunts', so of course he would be in a hurry!
As far as he knew, even though their boss and his wife already had kids, they hadn't truly done it yet? After all, the last time they did it was because someone had plotted against them!
Lawrence, however, frowned. "This won't do. He's having a showdown with Herman in a few days. Going by how irresponsible Boss is being, I think I'd better go over with the documents and look for him again!"
Sean stared at how earnestly Lawrence was digging his own grave. After a brief silence, he finally said, "If you feel like being sent to some godforsaken place, then go ahead."
Lawrence:"?"
Justin returned to the Hunts' after he finished dealing with all the matters to do with the board of directors meeting, which would be held in a few days.
By the time he got home, it was already 9 pm.
According to the children's timetable, they were supposed to go to bed at this time. Nora would also go to bed with Cherry at this time in the past.
Therefore, Justin was not surprised at all when he didn't see her in the living room. He went straight upstairs and entered his bedroom.
As soon as he entered, he spotted a slender figure lying on the bed.
Justin was stunned.
He'd thought that Nora would go to Cherry's room and sleep with her, so he would have to think of a way to trick her into coming over.
Unexpectedly, she was being so self-aware this time?
For a moment there, Justin felt a surge of heat rushing straight into his heart. He suppressed the stirrings in his heart, looked at the woman on the bed, and then went straight into the bathroom. After changing out of his suit, he took a quick bath and then walked out of the bathroom.
There was a bit of light on the bed when he came out of the bathroom.
Nora was lying on the bed and looking at her phone—she was actually awake!
To be honest, Justin had been worried when he was taking a bath just now. If Nora fell asleep again like the other time, then should he wake her up? Or should he wake her up? Or should he wake her up...
Unexpectedly, the woman was actually waiting for him.
The corners of Justin's lips curled into an even bigger smile.
Even the beauty mark at the corner of his eye started to shimmer a little more. As he had just taken a shower, his cheeks were a little more crimson than usual, and his chest was also heaving up and down a little more intensely than usual.
