Chapter 271: How Can You Get Violent?
“What is Mr. Hunt doing, Ms. Smith? It doesn’t look like there’s anyone he’ll talk to over there, right?”
“Yeah…”
While Yvonne was watching, someone asked curiously,
“The people there are all young rich good-for-nothings totally different from Mr. Hunt. Why would he go there…?”
“Is it because he thinks their behavior is too inappropriate?”
“That must be it. What kind of place do they think this is? That group of good-for-nothings and that woman should look at where they are first before they hook up with one another! Mr. Hunt values his grandmother the most. He must have become angry!”

Nora was completely unaware that she had become the focus of the women’s discussion.
She merely watched the men swarming toward her and raised her eyebrows, feeling like something wasn’t quite right.
No matter how frivolous they were, they weren’t people who didn’t take time and place into consideration, so why were they doing this to her? Moreover, her belief was that she did have a rather powerful aura around her. Lily always said she was an impressive person, and just a glare from her was enough to scare Lily. When she was abroad, all the men had also kept their distance from her despite her good looks, so why would such a thing happen the moment she returned to the States?
She narrowed her eyes.
Next to her were also people trying to talk to her.
“Do you know who I am, Ms. Smith? If you have time, I think we can have a chat…”
“I met you first, Ms. Smith. Even if we are to line up to chat with you, shouldn’t I be the first?”
“Do you like Hermès, Ms. Smith? Shall I take you to Hermès for some shopping?”
“Hermès is so tacky! I have a villa in the suburbs. Shall I take you to visit it?”
Their speech became more and more explicit. Even Sheril and Melissa frowned when they heard them. Why did they look like rich young men lavishing attention on and flattering a famous courtesan?!
They were looking down on Nora too much!
Melissa reprimanded them. “Which families are you children from?! Stop fooling about!”
However, they instead laughed and said jokingly, “We aren’t fooling about. I meant what I said… You’re the Andersons, right? How about letting Ms. Smith have dinner with me so that we can discuss a partnership between our hospital and Harmonia Pharmacy?”
“Ms. Smith seemed unwell, so I wanted to help. Which part of what I’m doing looks like I’m fooling about…”
Sheril was so mad that even her cheeks had turned red. “All of you are too much! Nora doesn’t need your help! She doesn’t even want to pay any attention to any of you at all, so please step aside! We are going to rest!”
“You’re not the one who decides whether your cousin Nora wants to pay any attention to us or not. It only counts if she says it…”
“That’s right. Ms. Smith, although you already have a child, I don’t mind at all. After all, young but mature women are more charming…”
“…”
The look in Nora’s eyes turned cold, and anger roiled in her cat-like eyes.
If it weren’t because this was Mrs. Hunt’s birthday party, she would have beat them up a long time ago, yet they were actually pushing their luck this far?
In that case, they couldn’t blame her for what came next.
She lowered her head and flexed her wrists. Then, she said to the masked Cherry, “Go to the side.”
Her four words alone made Cherry step back in silence. She hid behind Melissa with practiced movements and hugged her leg.
“Don’t be scared, Cherry…” said Melissa.
Cherry replied in her adorable voice, “I’m not scared, Grand-Aunt. I just think it’s so pitiful…”
Melissa’s eyes reddened. “It’s okay, your mother is not pitiful. She still has us, we won’t let anyone bully or humiliate her!”
Cherry: “?”
She blinked her big dark eyes and said, “What I meant was that those people are so pitiful. To think they are blind enough to offend Mommy. Mommy is really angry now, and the consequences are serious when that happens!”
Melissa: “?”
As soon as she said that, a shadow flashed across in front of her.
Nora had already suddenly thrown a punch at the face of the man closest to her, who was also the one who had said the most awful things out of the lot!
