God-sister? Justin’s brows drew together.
Iris had been leading a reclusive life all these years.
She treated outsiders harshly and was like a robot without emotions.
He could even clearly remember that one time he came over when he was a child and saw that her
family, the Evanses, had come over.
However, he also saw, with his own eyes, Iris driving them out of the villa.
Mrs.Landis had stood in front of the door to stop them from entering at that time.
His aunt from the Evanses had knelt in front of the door with her child and cried out in tears that they
mustn’t delay medical treatment for his uncle anymore.
He needed immediate treatment, otherwise he would die.
But Iris hadn’t spared them even a glance.
He had bodyguards protecting him when he walked in, so his aunt couldn’t get near him.
She stayed where she was and sobbed as she cursed, “You’re no different from a cold-blooded monster,
Iris Hunt! You’re a venomous snake! It’s all because of you that the Evanses are in this state today! Yet,
you’re actually sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing! He’s your elder brother! How can you be so
cruel?”
His footsteps had paused at that time.
However, he hadn’t taken the liberty to give her any money, say anything, or comfort her because he had
already understood by then that sometimes, what one saw was not necessarily the truth.

He didn’t understand the relationship between his mother and her family at all, so how could he ask
anything of his mother? Regardless, the sight of his aunt berating Iris and calling her a venomous snake
with a savage look on her face had remained in his memory.
All these years, every time he came over and saw how Iris was always so cold toward everyone, and
heard from the bodyguards how all she did every day was take care of her flowers, and how she didn’t
seem to have any social interaction with anyone, he had even thought that she didn’t have any friends at
all.
Yet, she was actually introducing her god-sister to him now! He understood the implicit meaning behind
introducing her god-sister to him—it was nothing more than her wanting the Hunts to help her god-sister
out and take care of her.
Over the years, on account of various people, he had already helped out a lot of people with their
businesses.
Adding one more person to the count didn’t matter.
However, he felt rather unhappy.
His mother had never worried about him or comforted him before.
She had abandoned him at the Hunts’ icy-cold manor when he was only five and left him to his own
devices ever since.
Yet, she was actually showing so much concern for an outsider now? He was really curious.
Just what kind of woman had managed to capture his mother’s heart? Justin’s expression turned cold,
and he entered the house.
In the living room.
Iris was staring at Pete at the moment, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Pete had also raised his little head and was looking at his grandmother.
Although the two rarely saw each other, Justin did occasionally bring him over for quick visits, so one
could say that they were the most familiar strangers.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
Nora looked at Iris, and then back at Pete.
Finding their silence rather strange, she frowned and prompted Pete.
“Pete?”
Although Pete was mildly autistic, he had shown good manners ever since he started to live with her, and
would always greet his relatives whenever he met them.
This was especially so with the Andersons.
He always greeted Melissa very sweetly whenever he saw her.
So, why was he suddenly not greeting his elders anymore the moment he came here? While she was
hesitating, Iris asked in a trembling voice, “M-Ms.Smith, is…is he your son?”
Nora nodded.
“Yeah.’ But when she looked at Iris again, she found that the woman suddenly had an extremely complex
look on her face.
She stared at Nora for a while.
In the midst of Nora’s confusion, Pete’s small and weak voice entered her ears.
“Hello, Grandma.”

Her head whipped to the side abruptly to see Pete with a resigned look on his face as if he didn’t have
anything to live for anymore.
He said, “Mommy, she…she’s my grandmother”
Seemingly because he saw that Nora didn’t seem like she understood what he was saying, he added,
“You know, my father’s mommy”
Nora:”…”
Iris:”..”
Pete held his forehead.
He knew that the two of them were utterly shocked at the moment, so he said to Iris, “Grandma, can you
keep this a secret from Daddy for now”
Practically right after he spoke, someone suddenly opened the living room door.
Mrs.Landis’ voice traveled over.
“Come on in, Mr.Hunt!”
When Mrs.Landis was bringing Nora and Pete into the house, as she had been preoccupied leading the
way, she hadn’t managed to see Pete’s face clearly.
Right after that, she had gone out in a hurry again.
Thus, she looked at Cherry, pointed at Pete from the back, and said, “Your god- grandaunt has brought
her little boy here.You guys can play with each other later!”
As soon as she said that, Iris stood up straight and looked at the door.
Nora and Pete also turned around instinctively.
