Nora's way of doing things had always been direct and decisive.
Tanya covered her mouth and laughed. Compared to before, she had really become much gentler. At the sight, Nora couldn't help but remark, "Just laugh if you want to. What are you covering your mouth for?"
Tanya rolled her eyes. Then, she said emotionally, "Nora, do you know? I have always thought that people's relationships with one another are predestined and everyone we meet will surely impart to us a little knowledge. In Mia's case, she taught me how to be gentle. How would I possibly dare to be loud when I speak to her? Before I knew it, even the way I laugh became a lot gentler!"

Nora agreed with her, though.
Since she was a child, she had always been lazy and had never thought about having children at all. Who would have known that she would become pregnant all of a sudden and even give birth to three at one go...
No matter how lazy and unwilling to communicate with others she was, with Cherry the little chatterbox sucking up to her all day long, before she knew it, even she had started to talk more.
She felt that she had talked more to Cherry than she ever did during the first twenty years of her life.
While she was thinking, Tanya got back to business. She said, "I knew you wouldn't want it, so Joel said that he has thought of a way to make it up to you!"
A way to make it up to her?
"What is it?" Nora asked.
Tanya pursed her lips and replied, "That's something top-secret among the Smiths, so how would I know? In any case, he told me not to worry."
"...Oh."
She handed the check back to Tanya. "When you're back, tell Joel that gold prices will rise in two days. If he's interested, he can also buy some."
Tanya didn't really understand, but she was a messenger between the two, so she took back the check and said, "Okay, I'll tell him."
Then, she got up and left.
It wasn't until she stepped out of the Hunts' manor that Tanya suddenly realized something.
Because of what had happened to Justin, her heart had been very heavy when she came. She wanted to keep Nora company as much as she could, yet she also had to restrain herself and make sure that she didn't bring up Justin, lest it saddened Nora.
But as she chatted with Nora, upon seeing that she was in such a good state of mind and completely didn't look like she had just lost her beloved, she forgot all about the matter.
It wasn't until she left that she finally remembered.
However...
Wasn't Nora in a little too good of a condition?
As she thought so, she shook her head slightly, suppressed her doubts, and went back to the Smiths.
After seeing Tanya off, without having any time to wonder what Joel was referring to that was more important than company shares, Nora went straight to the Hunt Corporation.
Now that she was the CEO of the Hunt Corporation, she couldn't stay at home and sleep in every day anymore.
In addition, she had to take care of all the company matters and get everything on the right track as soon as possible. Only then would she be able to leave and look for the V16!
When Nora arrived at the company in the car, the surrounding employees all looked at her and started pointing and gesturing at her.
The moment she arrived at her office, Roger invited himself in. At the sight of Nora, he sighed silently and said, "Nora, didn't I already tell you to sell the gold futures? Yet you simply refuse to listen! Well, look at how we've made even more losses now!"
Nora lowered her head. "Mmhmm."
Roger hadn't closed the door when he entered, deliberately letting the people in the secretarial department outside hear what he was about to say.
"Nora, I know you are rich, and I also know that Grandma gave you 50 million dollars. But it's the company that's losing money here! You have enough money to support your willfulness, but what about the company's shareholders? And these employees in the company too. What are they supposed to do?"
