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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom 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.
Justin then asked dispassionately, “Do you think 26 years old is too old?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What?”
For the first time, her IQ couldn’t keep up with theconversation! Justin replied, “Getting married at
the age of 26,I mean…After all, that leaves us with only less than a year to prepare for it.We should
make our wedding a grand one”
Nora suddenly sat up straight.
She was utterly astounded! She swallowed.
“Huh?”
“Do you find it too late? But if we hold it at the end of the year, it’ll be too rushed…” The few good
wedding locations required advanced bookings.On top of that, they had to choose an auspicious
date, too.
“Stop!” said Nora.
Justin was taken aback.
“What’s the matter?”
Nora took a sip of water to calm her nerves, feeling as if she was being forced into marriage.
She suddenly said, “Actually, I’m a female hooligan”
Justin;?”
“A great man once said that engaging in romantic relationships without any intention of progressing
to marriage is an act of hooliganism.”
It was the other party’s turn to fall silent this time.
Nora coughed and went on.
“Mr.Hunt, I don’t think I’ve ever confessed my feelings to you, right? Do you know why?”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t believe in getting married.”
