Her words made Tanya feel incredibly furious and shamed!
Honestly speaking, her status was indeed too low in comparison with Joel’s.
After all, the Smiths’ status was clear for all to see…
Moreover, she was already way past the point in her youthful days where love eclipsed all.
Were it back then, she would have said mockingly, “So what even if I don’t have a notable background? Joel and I are truly in love with each other!”
However, the five years she had spent living abroad had made her thoroughly understand what life really was like. She had also come to understand that one’s birth and family background were indeed their first hurdle in life!
Some people were born at the top of the pyramid, but she was instead at the furthest end of the line, unable to hold a candle to them.
She clenched her fists tightly, and her face flushed with shame.
Nora couldn’t make herself listen anymore. She looked up and said in a low voice, “Who says she doesn’t have anyone backing her up?”
Sue looked at her.
She didn’t want to offend Nora—after all, she was Ian’s daughter!
The entire family knew just how protective Ian was of his own. If she dared so much as to look at Nora the wrong way, Ian would surely crawl all the way out of the hospital and barge into their home to beat them up the very next moment.
However, she still curled her lips disdainfully. At the bottom of it all, she was still just a girl raised in a small household in a small town in California. She simply spoke so arrogantly and was completely lacking in foundation and cultivation.
She asked with a big smile, “Oh? Is Tanya the daughter of an internationally wealthy family? So, she comes from a very impressive family? Why haven’t I heard of that?!”
Tanya: “!”
Just as Tanya was at a loss for words, Nora glanced at Justin.
Justin got the hint and got up at once. “Mrs. Smith, I forgot to make the introductions. Tanya is my younger god-sister.”
As soon as he said that, Nora coughed and retorted, “She’s your elder god-sister.”
Tanya was a year older than Nora.
Justin: “…”
He coughed and said, “Well, yes. Therefore, the Hunts are her family!”
Sue narrowed her eyes at once. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Heh. Ms. Turner sure is pretty skilled at becoming god-relatives with others.”
However, with Justin standing there, she ultimately didn’t dare to say anything else.
At this moment, the butler outside came in again. This time, he had a solemn look on his face. Upon entering, he immediately said, “Mr. Joel. Karl Moore has brought his men here again!”
Joel: “??”
He narrowed his eyes and subconsciously exchanged a look with Justin.
In this instant, both men had figured out what Karl was here for!
… even if Lily’s test results weren’t out yet!
