Chapter 776: It Wasn’t Like She Was A Racer!!

Chapter 780 It Wasn’t Like She Was A Racer!!

The breeze blew at the curtains, making them flutter. In the room, Nora’s face alternated between light and dark as the fluttering curtains cast shadows on her.

She stared at the contents of the metal box in astonishment—there was only a memo, and written on it was Morse code again. However, she already had the key to Morse code’s uncommon encryption, so it took her only two minutes to decipher the code on the memo: “Staav University, Archives, No. 004”

“Archives, No. 004”?

What did that mean?

Nora didn’t have time to look up anything. She tossed the metal box under the bed, tore the memo, went into the bathroom, and flushed it down the toilet.

Thereafter, as Justin’s fiancée, Nora helped out at the wake while the three children played in the villa.

Fatty even peeked at them from the door. When he found that the three of them were playing, he immediately shouted, “Why aren’t you guys crying when your father is dead?” Cherry was furious. “You’re the one whose father is dead! There’s no way Daddy would die!”

Fatty scoffed, “Why not? They are holding a wake for your father right now! He’s dead! And he’s not gonna come back! The three of you are fatherless children from now on!”

Right after he said that, Xander reached into his pocket and suddenly took out a slingshot. Then, he picked up a pebble, aimed it at Fatty, and fired!

Thud!

The pebble struck Fatty’s mouth accurately, making his lip bleed.

Fatty immediately burst into tears and ran away crying. “Boo, the three of them are teaming up and bullying me!” Cherry: “…” Xander: “…”

Pete: “…”

—

Three days later, they buried the body in the cemetery.

The dead were gone, and the living must look forward.

At the wake, no one dared to make things difficult for Nora because Ian and Joel stayed with her the entire time, never leaving her side for even a moment. This also prevented Nora from having a chance to find out what No. 004 of Staav University’s archives was.

It was not until three days later, after everyone finally dispersed, that she secretly logged on to the Internet and hacked into Staav University’s archives.

It stood to reason that in this era of e-learning, all files should have been digitized so that it would be convenient for people to review later on. However, when Nora keyed in the search term “No. 004”, red error text appeared on the webpage: “There are no records of the file you are trying to access.”

Nora frowned.

When she was abroad, she had majored in medicine, so she was very familiar with some schools’ quirks. Oftentimes, schools didn’t upload information about the subjects they excelled at and other top-secret information into their electronic database. This was to prevent the information from becoming common knowledge.

Well, that made sense. Given how mysterious the V16 was, why would they digitize information about it and make it convenient for her, a hacker, to steal the formula any time she wanted?

Nora rested her chin on her hand and heaved a silent sigh. It seemed that she would have to make a trip to Staav University.

It was just that… How was she going to head there in an inconspicuous and low-key manner?

If she went over so rashly, she would definitely attract the attention of the people tailing her.

Although the man in black had taken a lot of people’s attention off her, she mustn’t be too willful in her actions.

That night, Nora couldn’t sleep a wink as she mulled over how she could go to the Staav University in Switzerland without anyone noticing.

At ten o’clock the next day, she was awakened by an unfamiliar number. When Nora answered the phone grumpily, a voice came from the other end.

“Ms. Smith, there’s a routine board meeting today. You are the only one who hasn’t arrived yet. May I know how long more you’ll need before you arrive? Is there a traffic

jam?”

Nora: “??!”

What board meeting was this guy talking about?

As she didn’t speak, the other party went on. “Ms. Smith? S-surely you didn’t forget, right? I told you about it yesterday at the… Since you’re taking over the Hunt Corporation, you’ll have to come over and have a chat with the directors, no matter what.”

Nora finally remembered now. Someone had indeed mentioned it.

Before she could answer, Roger’s voice came from the other end of the call.

“Is my sister-in-law still not here yet? Nora has always tended to sleep more, and she always sleeps until noon at home. Justin also indulges her quite a fair bit… You’ll have to get used to it, everyone.”

As soon as he said that, some shareholders became unhappy. One of them said, “This is a board meeting! Does she not care about it? She’s too much! Will the Hunt Corporation really be alright if we get such a lazy person to be the CEO?”

“Yeah, it’s too much that she’s still asleep even at this time!”

Roger heaved another sigh. “… Calm down, everyone. She’s just a young girl after all, she’s not as rough and sturdy as us men. It’s okay even if she sleeps a little more than most.”

Nora: “…”

This hypocritical way of talking… She’d really just witnessed the male version of a bitch!

It might seem like he was speaking up for her, but every word of his was sowing discord between her and the others!

Nora took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t forget, I’m in a traffic jam!”

“A traffic jam?”

Roger chuckled. “Nora, you really know how to make excuses, don’t you? Since you say you’re in a jam, then that means you’re already on the way, right? How long will it take you to arrive?”

“I reckon the jam will last for half an hour.”

“… So, half an hour later, are you going to say that the jam will continue for another half an hour, Nora? After all, this place is pretty far from the Hunts’ manor, so it’ll take at least an hour to get here! If that’s the case, then why don’t we disperse first and let you take your time? We can move the morning board meeting to the afternoon instead?”

As soon as he said that, someone said, “I have a meeting with an important client in the afternoon! We already arranged for the meeting to be held today, how can you suddenly reschedule it?”

“That’s right, it’s too irresponsible!”

Before the other party could say anything, Nora said, “If I say I’ll take half an hour, then half an hour is how long I’ll take.”

Roger was aggressive. “What if you’re still not here in half an hour?”

“We’ll talk about that later. I’m driving, I’m hanging up.”

After giving him a concise response, she got out of bed in a whoosh, quickly changed, brushed her teeth, and went downstairs.

Brenda followed closely behind her, “Nora, my men just told me something! Roger has been spreading rumors in the company about how lazy you are! He even said that you must still be at home, so you won’t be able to reach even in an hour’s time… It’s too late even if you drive over now!”

Nora got in the car and started it. “Who says it’s too late?”

She sped off with a whoosh right after she spoke.

As Brenda stared at the dust blown into the air by the car, she heaved a silent sigh.

Nora had really been too careless this time.

How could she say that she would be at the company in half an hour?

No matter what, it would take an hour for anyone to drive to the office from the manor! It wasn’t like she was a racer!
