She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Chapter 1056

His parents actually cared a great deal about him.

But even more, they had complete faith in his abilities, which meant they no longer pampered him like they did during his childhood. At times, their real goal was simply to toughen him up and make him handle the issue himself.

Additionally, his parents had semi-retired by now. Helping the researchers escape had been Peter's own initiative, and he hadn't let his parents in on the details ahead of time. On top of that, security had kept a close watch on him amid the crisis, blocking any chance to update his folks. Thus, he resorted to the secret signal he'd set up with Mia.

Had he tipped off his parents about it, they surely wouldn't have panicked like Mia did—they knew his skills inside out.

Mia listened to Peter while nibbling her lip, then flashed him a grin.

Once he saw she'd figured it out, Peter let out a relieved breath.

At just fifteen years old, neither could predict if their teenage crush would endure against life's harsh truths. So for now, they kept their feelings under wraps.

Peter had even considered that Mia might end up with someone else once she matured.

After a brief talk, they parted ways.

Mia headed to Tanya.

Tanya felt surprised when she approached. Her little girl had moped around ever since coming back from abroad a few days prior, yet now she appeared to have sorted her thoughts!

With everyone's cheers and best wishes ringing out, Peter stepped up as the new leader of the Hunt Corporation.

A huge crowd of guests filled the place today—everyone needed to pay their respects to Peter, after all.

Brenda had shown up too.

Like usual, she dazzled in a fiery red gown, her allure drawing every gaze without fail.

Nora and Justin found themselves encircled by Justin's third uncle and his spouse—Brenda's mom and dad.

Their daughter kept dodging marriage, leaving them in a frenzy of worry. Couldn't she see how badly they craved grandchildren?!

“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 wiped at her eyes.

Brenda’s father looked equally distressed. “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 wondered the same about Solo and Brenda's split. Despite Solo's relentless pursuit, Brenda kept dodging him at every turn!

After a brief pause, she replied, “Alright, I’ll talk to her when I have the time.”

“Okay.”

Brenda’s mother let the matter drop without pushing.

Among the Hunts, she grasped best how lazy Nora's reputation was. The woman shunned duties, preferring to nap through her days.

She rarely committed to anything lightly.

Her promise to speak with Brenda guaranteed she'd make an effort.

Nora herself sensed it was high time to step in.

Previously, she'd stayed out of Brenda and Solo's affair since they were grown-ups—not like little Cherry and Pete—and folks deserved to pick their own paths. Plus, they might resent her meddling.

Yet with Solo hitting a wall, she couldn't ignore it as Brenda's sister-in-law.

She let out a quiet sigh.

When would the drama finally end?

This would surely rob her of more precious sleep!

The party buzzed with joy for hosts and guests alike. It wrapped up soon enough, with Peter bidding farewell to attendees as the host while Nora and Justin lounged out of sight.

Nora watched Brenda closely.

Solo was tied up with a mission that day, missing the event. Brenda smiled, but a hint of sadness lingered in her gaze.

Right then, her phone buzzed.

She glanced at the screen and picked up in a rush. After the caller spoke, Brenda shot back, “Okay, I’m on my way.”

With that, she dashed off.

Nora eyed her departure, then shared a glance with Justin.

Both realized that this phone call likely held the true reason behind Brenda's refusal of Solo.

They trailed after her right away.
