Chapter 1056: Brenda’s Secret
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It wasn’t so much that his parents didn’t care about him.
However, more so than that, they trusted in his capabilities, so they no longer spoiled him as much as they had
when he was a child. Sometimes, what his parents wanted more was to train him and let him solve the problem on
his own.
Moreover, his parents were already half-retired. It was Peter’s personal desire to help the researchers leave, and
he hadn’t informed them about the situation beforehand, either. Furthermore, he had even been under the
watchful eye of the security officers during the emergency. This had prevented him from filling in his parents about
the situation. As a result, he could only use the secret code that he had established with Mia.
If he had hinted at the situation to his parents instead, they definitely wouldn’t have reacted as anxiously as Mia—
after all, the two of them knew what he was capable of all too well.
Mia bit her lip as she listened to Peter. Then, she gave him a smile.
Seeing that she had thought things through, Peter breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were only fifteen this year. Neither of them could say for sure how long their budding feelings
during their adolescence would last in the face of reality. Therefore, neither of them was going to reveal anything at
this point, either.
In fact, Peter had even thought that perhaps Mia would find a boyfriend after she grew up.

After chatting a little, the two separated.
Mia went to Tanya.
When she went over, Tanya was rather surprised. Her daughter had been down in the dumps since she returned
from overseas a few days ago, but now it seemed that she had thought things through!
Amid everyone’s well wishes and congratulations, Peter officially took over as the head of the Hunt Corporation.
There were quite a lot of guests today—after all, all of them had to show Peter their support.
Brenda was also here.
As always, the woman was clad in a red dress, making her a charming and alluring sight. People couldn’t take their
eyes off her at all.
Nora and Justin were currently surrounded by the latter’s third uncle and his wife, who were also Brenda’s parents.
Their daughter had been putting off marriage forever, making them terribly anxious. Didn’t she know that they
were looking forward to grandkids?!
“Hey, Nora. You’re her sister-in-law, so I’m sure she’ll listen to you if you talk to her. She’s already thirty; if she
continues to put off marriage, she won’t be able to find a good man anymore!”
Brenda’s mother dabbed at her eyes.
Brenda’s father was also very troubled. “Wasn’t that young hacker guy from some time back pretty nice? Why did
they break up…? Also, I heard he’s still single!”
Brenda’s mother nodded. “I also heard that Solo is an orphan. He’s pretty much all ready to be our son-in-law.
Where are you going to find someone better than him?”
Nora: “…”
She also wanted to know why Solo and Brenda had broken up. Even though Solo had been persistently trying to
court Brenda, the woman simply wouldn’t stop hiding from him!
She thought for a moment and then said, “Alright, I’ll talk to her when I have the time.”
“Okay.”
Brenda’s mother didn’t pester her any further.
Out of all the Hunts, she understood the best just how infamous Nora was for her indolence. She was reluctant to
take on any kind of responsibilities and would rather spend that time sleeping instead.
Also, she never made promises to anyone easily.
Now that she had given her word that she would talk to Brenda, this meant that she would definitely try to help.
As for Nora herself, she also felt that it was about time she did something.
Before this, she hadn’t wanted to interfere with Brenda and Solo’s relationship because, for one, she felt that they
were already adults—it wasn’t like they were kids like Cherry and Pete—and everyone had the right to choose how
they wanted to spend their lives. For another, the two of them might not want her to interfere, either.

But now, with Solo unable to improve the situation, as Brenda’s sister-in-law, she had no choice but to do
something.
She sighed silently.
When was trouble ever going to stop?
This was no doubt going to keep her from her beauty sleep again!
Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves at the party. Soon, the party ended. As the host, Peter went to see
the guests out while Nora and Justin slacked off behind the scenes.
Nora kept observing Brenda.
Solo was out on a mission today, so he hadn’t attended the party. Though Brenda had a smile on, there was some
forlornness in her eyes.
At this point, her cell phone rang.
She looked at it and hurriedly answered the phone call. The caller said something, upon which Brenda immediately
replied, “Okay, I’m on my way.”
Then, she hurriedly left.
Nora looked at her and then exchanged a look with Justin.
Both of them knew that the reason for Brenda’s rejection of Solo probably lay right in this phone call.
They followed after her immediately.
