Chapter 722 Opponent!

Sure enough, at the sight of the phone number, Iris’ pupils shrank slightly and fear arose in her again.

She wanted to pick up the phone and switch it off, but before she could touch it, a big well-defined hand took the phone.

Iris’ head whipped up abruptly and she looked at Justin incredulously.

Justin looked at her firmly. His voice was calm and steady, and he seemed capable of protecting Iris from everything in the world. He said, “Let me.”

Iris shook her head.

She was very scared.

Although the Hunts were powerful, they were really no match for globally powerful families that had hundreds—even a thousand-of years of history.

She swallowed. “Justin, forget it.”

Justin could understand her fear and panic. His mother was worried that she would affect the Hunts because of her own affairs, but she didn’t know that he had another identity that was powerful enough to make him fearless.

It was just that due to certain reasons, he couldn’t reveal that identity of his.

He lowered his head and said, “Mom, don’t be scared.”

After saying that, he picked up the cell phone, got up, and answered the call. A deep and pleasant male voice traveled over through the phone: “Iris, you have broken our agreement.”

Nora stood beside Iris.

She held Iris’ shoulders and looked fixedly at Justin.

Justin said into the phone, “From now on, I will be the one to fulfill that agreement.”

The original agreement was that Iris would age and die alone in the suburban villa as punishment. If she couldn’t restrain herself and got close to her son, then Philip would take action against the Hunts and Justin.

When Justin said that he would fulfill the agreement, the man immediately understood what he meant.

Philip sneered, “Heh, that weak little boy from back then has grown up and become independent, hasn’t he? In that case, I’ll teach you how to behave.”

As soon as he said that, Iris panicked. She rushed forward and shouted, “Philip, come right at me if you want! Don’t do anything to the child, you…”

But before she could finish, Philip snapped, “Iris, that’s enough!”

Iris was taken aback.

Philip smiled and said, “Aren’t you just saying that because you’re very sure that I won’t do anything to you? Now that the kid has grown up, you can’t blame me for being nasty anymore!”

He hung up right after saying that.

Iris: “…”

The disconnected tone from the phone resounded in the depths of her heart like the bangs of a drum, making her feel terribly flustered. She swallowed and looked up at Justin, feeling like she had become the sinner of the Hunts.

The most mysterious megacorp was about to take action against her son.

Iris grabbed Justin’s arm. She wanted to say that she would go and apologize to the other party, but when the words reached the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t bring herself to say them-because if she did, then it would be no different from her throwing her own pride onto the ground and trampling on it.

Iris took a deep breath.

Just as she was filled with worry and trepidation, she saw Justin walk around her and look at Nora. He asked, “Nora, are you scared?”

Nora raised her brows. The Hunts had offended the most mysterious megacorp in the world, which sounded pretty exciting. Also, if Justin really lost everything, then wouldn’t Pete’s status as the next head of the family become useless?

But…

She broke into a grin and raised her eyes slightly. “It’s okay, if you go bankrupt, I’ll support you…”

After saying that, she spotted Iris, so the rest of her words did a U-turn in her mouth and she added, “… guys.”

Justin: “?”

He’d originally intended to tell her not to be scared, but he hadn’t expected Nora to say something like that. Suddenly, it made him really feel like going bankrupt for fun.

It seemed like it wasn’t that bad an idea to have a sugar mommy and be kept as a lover?

Ahem.

Iris looked at the two of them, suddenly finding herself speechless.

This must be love.

If she had trusted Philip back then, things would not have come to where they were. Now that she thought about it, so what even if she had to fight to the death with her family back then?

At most, she would have just started all over from scratch.

The woman, who was nearly fifty, was moved by the love between Nora and Justin. This inspired the greatest fighting spirit in her.

She said, “Okay, if we go bankrupt, then… we’ll let Nora support us!”
