Nora couldn't be bothered to make any guesses, so she said coldly and mercilessly, "If you're not going to say it, then I'm hanging up."
"Hey, don't! Don't!"
Lily understood her boss very well, so she didn't dare to keep her in suspense anymore.
She said, "Anti, you should know that the eight pairs of genes that determine a human being's intelligence are located on the X-chromosome.When I was testing your DNA, I discovered that your eight pairs of genes differ from other people's! No wonder you're so smart!"
Nora,'’???"
She'd never once thought that she was smart.
She merely found everything rather simple and was able to master anything right away.
This led her to feel that life was quite boring.
Fortunately, she was in poor health and needed more sleep than others.
Otherwise, how bored would she be if she were awake all the time every day? She yawned.
"Is there anything else?"
Lily answered, "You should also know that because the IQ genes are located on the X-chromosome, the reason why you are so smart must be that both your mother and father are also smart!"
Nora stared at the ceiling, her mind already wandering.
As everyone would know, females have two X-chromosomes while males have one X-chromosome and one Y-chromosome.
The Y-chromosome comes from the father, which means that a son inherits 100% of his intelligence from his mother.
It was no wonder that Pete was so good in his studies and so smart at such a young age.
When she was five, she was still fretting about filling her belly, yet the little fellow had already started to learn how to solve Mathematical Olympiad problems that ordinary people would only learn when they were in middle or high school.
Compared with him, Cherry's case, however, was kind of a long story.
Nora suddenly asked, "Surely Cherry's reluctance to study wasn't inherited from her father, right?"
Lily:”???”
Nora's cell phone suddenly rang at this point another call had come in.
Clearly displayed on the screen was a certain name: Narcissist.
After glancing at it, she said to Lily, "I'll hang up for now.After ending the call with Lily, she picked up the other call.Justin's low and deep voice reached her from the other end of the call.
He said, "I saw the live-stream, Ms.Smith.’
He saw it? Nora raised her eyebrows.
Most wealthy people were particular about their reputation and didn't like live-streams.
In addition, Henry had behaved like a shrew and kicked up a huge fuss in someone else's live-stream earlier in the day.
People had even started to attack Harmonia Pharmacy in the comments.
If she didn't clarify the truth in front of everyone, Harmonia Pharmacy would definitely have been affected.
That was why she hadn't requested that the reporter shut down her live-stream right away.
Instead, she had publicly announced the truth in the live-stream in front of the camera, and in front of all the viewers nationwide.
Nora raised her eyebrows.
"Does it have anything to do with you, Mr.Hunt?"
Justin coughed and replied, "Of course it does.After all, you are one of the candidates in consideration for the position of my fiancee.’
"??? What?"
Justin slowly spoke again.
He said, "Didn't you say you're interested in me, Ms.Smith? I also have a rather good impression of you.Therefore, you are among the candidates in consideration for my fiancee’ Nora fell silent, the corners of her mouth spasming a little.In order to defend that onerous lie, it was necessary that she continued to cooperate with his narcissism.Seemingly because she had fallen silent, Justin spoke again.He asked, "Do you want to know who the candidates for my fiancee are?"
No, she didn't.
Nora took a sip of water from the glass at the table beside her.
She was about to speak when the other party —as though afraid that she might misunderstand—said eagerly, "You're the only one’ Nora,"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
His words caused her to choke on the water.
Why was she suddenly feeling like his words didn't sound narcissistic anymore but a little like a confession instead? She put down the glass and held her forehead with her hand a little as she leaned against the headboard.
All of a sudden, she felt like she might have accidentally overdone things.
