Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 771

Nora drew the curtains and sat on the sofa, her grip on the phone tightening a little.

The events from the previous night resurfaced before her eyes.

When Justin pushed her out, he'd whispered three words into her ear: "Nora, trust me."

From the moment the man in black showed up, all the way until she and Justin both appeared in the room where the safe-deposit boxes were, every single second had been too rushed. She and Justin hadn't said a word to each other at all!

At that moment, she could only put her trust in him, go with the flow, and get out of the room.

After that, she saw the metal box flying out and hid it in her clothes, but when she looked back, Justin was already closing the metal door.

The sound of the bomb going off in the room and the click of the lock on the metal door were like boulders that weighed down on her heart.

He had told her to trust him...

But when Morris and the others carried out the charred body, regardless, she had still been filled with disbelief and unable to rest assured at all.

That was why she had impulsively gone to the lab together with the corpse.

After that...

As there weren't any records of Justin's ONA in the database, Nora could only get Lily to send over the records of the samples she had taken in the past.

When Lily sent them over, she had hinted to Nora that Sean had changed the DNA records on the way.

At that moment, Nora had become a little relieved.

But she was still worried.

It wasn't until she returned to the room, answered Lily's phone call, and heard her say loud and clear, "The DNA comparison results show that it's not Mr. Hunt," that she finally became completely relieved!

After hanging up the phone, Nora did not change her clothes right away. Instead, she took out the metal box from her clothes and put it on the coffee table. Then, she sat on the sofa and kept quiet for a very long time.

What exactly was in the metal box no longer mattered to her. What mattered was... what on earth was Justin doing? Why did he fake his death?

Also, why did he prepare a dead body?

Was he the one who had put the bomb in the safe?

What was his purpose in doing this?

Nora couldn't figure it out at all.

Just as she was pondering over these questions, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She answered the call. Caleb's voice came from the other end.

"I heard that Mr. Hunt is..."

He paused slightly. Then, he asked, "You... are you okay?" "I'm fine."

Nora lowered her eyes, her voice calm and flat.

Caleb breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, Nora heard someone snatch the phone from him. Trueman's shrill voice then rang out.

"You're such a good-for-nothing! That barbarian snatched away the V16 from right under your nose? You're so useless! No wonder even Justin Hunt died! He deserves it!"

Nora's grip on her cell phone tightened a little.

Even if she knew that Justin was just faking his death, she still couldn't help but get a little angry.

But right after, Trueman sneered and said, "My little servant, why don't we cooperate with each other?"

Nora narrowed her eyes. "Cooperate on what?"

Trueman said, "Like me, Xander only has a little over two months left to live. Let's cooperate. I will go to the barbarian and take back what your mother had left. If it is a clue, then you will solve it. Once you get the antidote, you are to give me a share of it! I guarantee that I won't make any more trouble."

Nora balled up her fists tightly. "Why should I trust you?"

Trueman let out a low laugh. "Do you have any option apart from trusting me when you can't even beat that barbarian in a fight? What else do you have to be so arrogant about when even your husband is dead...? If you want to save Xander, you can only beg me for help!"

Nora hung up on him right away!

She looked at the metal box in front of her again. She seemed to have somewhat understood Justin's objective this time.

The man in black alone was already so powerful that neither of them could beat him in a fight, yet he was only one of the five genetically-modified humans!

If Trueman, Caleb, and the other two were added to the equation too, how would she possibly be a match for them?

Nora had clearly sensed that she'd already thrown everyone off before she went to the bank.

Yet she had still ended up being tailed by the man in black. That was why Justin had set up this whole thingin other words, he was redirecting their troubles elsewhere!

Indeed, even though she had claimed that the two of them only went to the bank in the middle of the night because Justin wanted to show her what he'd prepared for their wedding, Trueman and company all knew that they had gone to the bank for the V16. But now, the situation was that she and Justin had been in "terrible shape and big trouble" when they were facing the man in black, so they had lost to the man who then stole the V16 from them!
