Chapter 5: The Monster’s Last Name Is Hunt

The photo, which was taken half a year ago, was just a snapshot taken during one of Anti’s surgeries.

The subject wore a surgical cap, and their body was wrapped tightly all around. All one could tell was that it was a slightly chubby woman. She was looking down, her cat-like eyes slightly downcast with a focused and serious look in them.

Those eyes look a little familiar…

Justin quickly dismissed the thoughts in his mind. The physique of the woman next door didn’t match. It wasn’t her.

During this time, Mrs. Lewis was chasing Nora to bed. “Nora, because of your poor health, you usually need more sleep than others. You’re not allowed to stay up anymore…”

Nora stretched and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Okay.”

Although she had recovered, her constitution was weak, and she had little energy. She needed a full twelve hours of sleep every day.

When she was living abroad, her aunt had even nicknamed her the Queen of Sleep—because if nothing happened, she could just sleep for three days and three nights straight…

The next day, she was woken up by the phone. She picked up the call with her eyes closed. Angela’s voice reached her. “Have you given the matter about the company any thought?”

“…Not really.”

 

In a charitable tone, Angela said, “How about this—we’ll both take a step back. I give you half a million, and you transfer the company to me. Surely you’re satisfied now?”

Nora turned over and found a comfortable position, but still did not open her eyes.

Idealian Pharmaceuticals’ annual net income approximated $5,000,000. All the money had been handed to her nominal guardian, Henry Smith, during all these years.

Although the money wasn’t much, her mother’s company wasn’t to be given away so thoughtlessly!

Angela continued sarcastically. “Does your aunt’s savings even amount to $100,000 after she’s worked so hard for so many years? That’s $500,000 we’re talking about. You’ve probably never seen that much money in your life, right?”

“…”
