Sheena said, “Even if they are uncle and niece, her father may not necessarily be Ryan.
Ian has so many brothers, who knows if she’s someone else’s daughter instead…”

But after speaking, she sneered, “But no matter whose daughter you are, you are living proof that your mother betrayed Ian! Don’t be fooled by how Joel is the head of the Smiths now.
Ian has been in power for so many years, he’s not someone to be messed with at all! Joel listens to him 100% of the time.
After giving it some thought, I think there are two reasons why he publicly acknowledged you as a Smith.”

After she changed the subject, the rest stopped fixating on the issue about Ryan but looked at her instead.

Sheena had always been a career woman.
She had been active in the world of commerce for many years and was relatively perceptive about a lot of things.
She said, “Firstly, all the Smiths are protective of their own.
Since you’re part of the Smiths, they will never allow outsiders to bully you.
Of course, this doesn’t stop Ian from detesting you.
Secondly, I reckon the Smiths did it so that they can form a political marriage with the Hunts.”

Realization suddenly dawned upon Melissa.
“That makes sense.
Originally, Yvonne Smith was supposed to marry Justin, but now that he has chosen Nora, bringing her back into the family won’t affect the relationship between the two families.”

Every decision that the rich and powerful made had its subsequent meaning and purpose.
They were by no means simple.

Nora raised her eyebrows but did not speak.

Instead, she was pondering over why Sheena had said that it was impossible for Ryan to be her father.

Did she know something?

While she was wondering about it, Sheena looked at her again.
She said, “No matter what, the Smiths will definitely do some surface-level work and give you some shares and money when you get married.
In that respect, they won’t mistreat you.
Neither will the Andersons.
But I have something to tell you.”

Her posture was straight, and the black tight-fitting outfit she was wearing made her look capable and shrewd.

Melissa interrupted her.
“Sheena, Nora understands…”

Sheena sneered, “I haven’t even said anything, yet you already know that she understands? Is she so delicate that no one can say anything about her?”

Her words made Melissa choke.

Sheena looked at Nora.
“What I want to tell you is—since you and Justin are in a relationship, there are a few things that you must never touch!”

Nora knew that Sheena was saying all these for her sake, so she could only say politely, “Do tell.”

Based on the news about the Hunts that she had found out, Sheena said, “Justin’s mother lives in the suburbs.
She’s said to be very difficult to get along with, so you’d best stay away from her and avoid making her angry.
Otherwise, once Justin is caught between his mother and you, who knows who he would choose!”

Melissa nodded and echoed, “Nora, Sheena is right!”

… Could she say that she had already formed such a good relationship with the other party that they were now god-sisters?

Seeing that even Melissa had agreed with her, Sheena went on.
“Also, you must treat Peter Hunt well after you marry him.”

Nora raised her brows.

Sheena said, “I know you’ll definitely want to have a son of your own with Justin so that he can fight for the position of the head of the family.
However, we Andersons must rely on our own abilities.
As long as he’s more outstanding, he can definitely achieve it, so don’t use those unsavory methods, that people use in the countryside, on Peter Hunt.”

Nora: “?”

Sheena sneered, “Those methods are just our mere leftovers.
Don’t be fooled by the Hunts’ matriarch’s old age, and how she was glossing things over and defending you in front of outsiders at the party last night.
She’s actually very shrewd and isn’t to be messed with.
You have to maintain a good relationship with Justin’s son, get it?”

Before Nora could say anything, Melissa smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about that! Because Peter Hunt is—”
