Old Maddy said, “I don’t know why he was chosen, but your mother told us at the time to choose the
smartest one.That’s because the serum she gave you improved one’s genes.Even if it was passed
on to the child, their genes wouldn’t be modified much if the child was born very smart.This way, if
the serum is unable to do what it’s supposed to, it will become ineffective.I would think that is likely
the reason why.”
Nora:”…”
So, Justin had been chosen because of his high 1Q? The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed.
But she felt that the answer didn’t seem unacceptable either.
After all, Cherry’s 1Q was slightly higher than Pete’s, probably because half of a female’s genes
were inherited from the father.
“Then, here’s my last question.”
Nora stared hard at Old Maddy.

smaller, thereby making it safer for them?”
If her theory was correct, then she could conclude that she had indeed given birth to triplets! Her
mother must have given her the triplet-making drug in order to let the three children share that bit of
gene serum.
If so, Xander would be her son! However, Old Maddy suddenly smiled and answered, “Of course
not.”
He sighed and said, “Your mother only injected you with a very low dosage of serum in the first
place.The number of children you gave birth to didn’t affect anything.It can be said that the serum
could not bring much harm to the child after passing through your body.”
Nora was stunned.
Why was the answer different from what she had imagined?! She frowned, perplexed as to how
things had turned out this way.
While she was thinking, Old Maddy spoke up again.
“Besides, your mother once said that the Andersons have genes for having twins, so it all depended
on your luck.Whether you have twins or just one child, they are all still your children.”
Nora looked closely at Old Maddy for a long while.
In the end, she lowered her eyes.
“I see.”
She went out of the room to see Lily standing there and nodding off as she leaned against the wall.
Joel was still smiling at him.
“Granduncle Samuel, what are you talking about? I don’t understand…”
“You wolf in sheep’s clothing, stop pretending! I know all about it!!”
Samuel yelled angrily.

Joel, however, remained as smiley as ever.
“Really? So, what do you know, Granduncle Samuel?”
Nora: She finally knew how Joel came to be known as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
He was really good at frustrating people and making them feel as if everything they did was
useless.
And in private, not only was he merciless, but also vicious.She was sure that Joel was definitely the
one behind Sue’s continued imprisonment.
It was like back then…
After Hillary was imprisoned, she had been having a very hard time.
Nora had wanted to punish her at the time, but when she looked into it, she found that both Karl and
Joel had talked to the people inside.
This led to Hillary’s life inside becoming a living hell.
This was also why she had been duped in the end the moment they gave her a bit of hope.
