She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment novel Chapter 786

When Fanny heard what she said, her eyes reddened and tears almost fell from her eyes.

She looked at Mrs. Hunt. “Ma’am…”

A faltering Mrs. Hunt continued walking to her residence. She said, “Humans are never content with what they have. When he was around, I not only wanted him to make concessions for the sake of the company but even wanted him to enter a political marriage. He expanded the company step by step into what it is today all because he loved his grandma, but you know what? Justin’s dream wasn’t to become a bossy CEO because he is a romantic at heart. I’m the one who shackled him here with my love for him… During the last two days, I have thought a lot and realized that many things I did were wrong. If I could do it all over again, I’d want him to just be alive and happy… What’s the use of expanding the company into such a big and powerful one when he isn’t even here anymore?”

With a sigh, she left Justin’s villa and slowly walked to her own.

After she entered the villa, she felt rather panicked and short of breath.

Fanny brought her the Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pills. After taking one, she stared at the pills. At last, she sighed and said, “Never mind, I’ll just pay back what I owe Justin to that woman instead!”

After saying that and taking the medicine, the discomfort in Mrs. Hunt’s chest was alleviated and she felt a lot better. Only then did she lie down and go to sleep.

The next day, Mrs. Hunt woke up with a start.

After she opened her eyes, she looked at Fanny and asked, “What time is it?”.

Fanny looked at the time. “It’s only seven o’clock.”

“What time does the stock market open?”

“Nine o’clock.”

Mrs. Hunt breathed a sigh of relief. She got out of bed and slowly started to wash up. Just like that, she slowly passed the time until it was nine o’clock. At nine o’clock, she looked at Fanny, only to see her expression changing greatly when she picked up the phone and took a glance at it.

Mrs. Hunt’s heart sank at once. Sure enough, the next moment, Fanny said, “The gold price yesterday was $45 per gram, but it has dropped to $32 per gram…”

Mrs. Hunt broke into a huge frown.

Justin had acquired the gold at nearly $63 per gram. With this, it had become a 50% loss for them!

In other words, it was a loss of nearly 40 million dollars!

Mrs. Hunt felt as if her heart was being tightly squeezed. Her cell phone rang at this time. When she answered, Mr. Livingstone’s voice reached her.

“Mrs. Hunt, have you seen the gold price? My friend didn’t lie to me! It’s the end of the line for gold futures, we’ve already suffered a loss of 40 million dollars! If this continues, we will really incur a loss of 50 million dollars!”

Mrs. Hunt took a deep breath and looked at Fanny. “What is Nora doing right now?”

Fanny replied weakly, “I just called Mr. Hunt’s villa. The butler said… he said… that Ms. Smith is still asleep, and that she has forbidden them from waking her up unless it’s a matter of life and death.”

Mrs. Hunt: “…”

She felt like her heart condition had gotten even worse. She took a deep breath, yet she felt as if she could neither expel that breath of air nor force it back down. It was stuck in her chest, making it feel terribly stuffy and uncomfortable.

After hanging up Mr. Livingstone’s phone call, Mrs. Hunt got onto her feet with Fanny’s help. She said, “Come on! Let’s go and wake her up!”

“To sell the gold?” Fanny asked.

“No, we’re not selling it anymore.” Mrs. Hunt said firmly, “We’ll lose 40 million dollars if we sell it now. Even if we wait a while longer, the most we will lose is just 50 million dollars. After all, it’s not like gold prices will ever fall to zero. There’s no real difference between 40 million and 50 million dollars anyway, so let’s not make her slap herself in the face.”

Fanny held the old lady’s arm and looked at her faltering appearance. “Then you’re going over because…?”

“I’m going to wake her up!”

Mrs. Hunt tapped her walking stick against the floor. “Even if she’s just all form and no function, she still has to behave the way she should be behaving! Which family’s matriarch sleeps in every day? Besides, how can anyone even sleep for twelve hours a day?! Her health will eventually suffer if she stays in bed like that every day!”

Fanny nodded.

To be honest, she’d wanted to bring this up a long time ago-she had never seen anyone as lazy as Nora! She could sleep for more than twelve hours a day? She must be hiding in her room and secretly playing with her cell phone instead, right?!

The pair arrived at Justin’s villa.
