Nora was rendered speechless.
Wayne went on. “Although she left us early, she has paved the way for you. She may not be around anymore, but her heart has always been with you.”
“…”
After listening to Wayne blabber on and on about maternal love for over an hour, Nora, who had just eaten, couldn’t help but yawn.
It was only then that Wayne realized that he was being too long-winded. He said, “You’re already a grown-up now, Nora. When do you plan to take over the company?”
Although he had already come to care for and developed a sense of belonging to the company, the business was Nora’s. He had to return it to her.
Nora replied detachedly, “You’re taking care of it pretty well, so just continue with it.”
A small company didn’t have the usual few departments. The owner had to basically see to everything themselves. This took up too much time that she could spend sleeping!
Wayne was confused.
Nora asked, “Have the Grays shown any interest in buying over the company?”
If what the Grays were interested in was really the company’s development potential, then there was no need to use Anthony’s marital bliss as a bargaining chip. They could just buy over the company at a high price. It wasn’t like they didn’t have the money.
However, Wayne shook his head. “No, they haven’t.”
Nora frowned. However, since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided that she won’t think about it anymore. “If you ever think of anything that my mom instructed you to hand over to me, give me a call.”
“Sure.” Then, Wayne said, “Can I get your bank account number, Nora? I’ll transfer all the company dividends directly to you in the future.”
Back then, Nora was still a child. But when she grew up, she had gone abroad. That was why Wayne had paid the dividends to her guardian instead.
It was just five million dollars. While it was nothing to Nora, why should she give it to the Smiths?
She gave him her bank account number and left.
On the top floor of Hotel Finest.
Howard Hunt sat on the sofa arrogantly and watched Pete, who was in the study, contemptuously.
By this generation, the only direct descendants of the Hunts left were Justin’s immediate family, as well as Howard’s immediate family in New York.
As the head of the family’s direct descendant and the eldest son, Justin had also inherited the position. However, his second uncle refused to accept this and ended up causing a lot of incidents.
The Hunts living in the family home didn’t participate in the family’s business disputes. They were only responsible for presiding over family issues. As for Howard, he was obsessed with martial arts.
He despised his family’s ways and also admired Justin from the bottom of his heart. However, he simply disliked that child of unknown origin. It was him who brought shame to Justin’s glorious life!
Moreover, not only was he mentally ill, but he was so small and weak. How could a child like that be worthy of becoming Justin’s successor?
Howard snorted and withdrew his gaze disdainfully.
The door opened at this point—Justin was back.
As the man entered the room, his almost-solid presence rushed toward Howard, causing him to sit up in a hurry. He greeted him respectfully. “Justin.”
Justin made a sound of acknowledgment and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Howard touched his hooked nose nervously and replied, “Grandpa heard that you’re going to New York to have your grandma’s condition treated, so he wants me to go with you and act as a witness. At the same time, I also thought I would see if the old Mr. Quinn would be willing to take me in and teach me some traditional martial arts techniques.”
It might seem like traditional martial arts were falling into decline as time went by, but in fact, there were still mysterious masters of the art among regular folks.
The Quinn School of Martial Arts and the Irvin School of Martial Arts ranked top in traditional martial arts. It was Howard’s dream to become their apprentice.
