mily formed a happy and harmonious sight, but in truth, they were actually waiting for the results of Lily’s final DNA test.

If the busy Lily were to see what they currently looked like, she would probably call them “evil capitalists”!

Suddenly, the butler entered the room.
He looked a little embarrassed as he said, “Sir, the old Mr.
Smith is here.”

The guest was Samuel Smith, Ian’s third uncle who lived in the Smiths’ ancestral home.
He was also the one who had spoken up for Yvonne previously.

Joel raised his brows.

Samuel had helped Yvonne to make a scene at the hospital the other time, but it was to no avail.
After that, he had left while Yvonne was arrested and thrown into jail.

What was he here for this time? Joel’s brows drew together, but it wasn’t like he could really drive his elders out of the house, so he said dispassionately, “Let him in.”

The butler nodded.
A short while later, Samuel came in with a woman who looked about forty to fifty years old.

Joel glanced at the two of them.
Then, he lowered his gaze and said, “Granduncle Samuel, Grandaunt Sue.”

Sue had married into the family after Samuel’s first wife passed away.
There was a shrewd and capable look in her eyes.

Her eyes, which had a lot of life in them, glanced at Joel.
Then, she smiled and said, “Joel, we haven’t seen each other for so long! I heard that there was some trouble at home, so Samuel and I immediately hurried over to visit you!”

Samuel let out a cold laugh.

Sue immediately prodded his arm, stopping Samuel from speaking.

She looked at the two women in the living room.

Then, she went forward, held Nora’s hand enthusiastically, and said, “You must be Nora, right? You look just like a Smith! You’re so pretty! I heard you’re engaged to Mr.
Hunt?” She looked at Justin cheerfully.

Justin, who was unaware of all the inner workings of the family, nodded politely at her.

Before Nora could say anything, Sue took off the bangle on her hand and stuffed it into Nora’s hand.
“Even though you’ve returned to the Smiths, Grandaunt Sue has nothing much she can give you.
Here, you can have some fun with this bangle for now!” Nora: “??”

She narrowed her eyes slightly and pushed the bangle back to her.
“I can’t take this.
It’s too expensive a gift.”

“Aw,” Sue said, “What’s so valuable about this? I have a distant relative in this line of business who’s very knowledgeable about antiques!”

“Nora, I know there was a bit of a misunderstanding between you and Samuel previously, but we are all Smiths here.
We’re all still connected to one another no matter what happens.
You won’t hold it against him, right?” Nora: “…”

Sue was simply too eloquent!!

She coughed.
Just as she was about to say something, Sue stuffed the bangle back into her hand and turned to Tanya.

The look in her eyes wasn’t that humble anymore.

She said with a smile, “You must be Mia’s mom, the one caught up in all that drama recently, right?”

 

The children had already been taken upstairs to play when the two of them were coming in.

Justin didn’t want to reveal too much about his children.

Seeing Sue looking at her, Tanya nodded.
“Yes.”

“Tanya, right? I met you before when you were a child!” Sue was very enthusiastic.
She held her hand and said, “I was visiting the Joneses at that time.
When you were pouring us water, you accidentally broke the glasses, so your mom punished you by making you kneel on the floor.
You were only five then.
You were so small and looked so pitiful kneeling there!” Her words were rather discomfiting.

However, what she said next was even worse.
“Who would have thought that you would become Cinderella and give birth to Joel’s child one day? A child with a high status elevates their mother’s status, indeed!”
