"We're done. From now on, if you ever dare show your face in front of me again, I'll break your legs!"
After saying that, she turned and walked away.
The man instinctively tried to chase after her, but Arthur expressionlessly reached out and blocked him at the door.
"Wait!"
The man clung to the doorframe, craning his neck as he shouted at Tiffany's retreating back. "I... I promise I won't show up in front of you ever again. Just... help me one last time, please? I'm truly at a dead end, don't be so heartless..."
Hudson cast a cool glance at Arthur before wrapping his arm around Nora and leaving.
The moment the door clicked shut behind them, a short, muffled thud echoed from inside, followed by the heavy sound of a body hitting the floor.
Arthur always handled things cleanly and efficiently; he wouldn't make too much noise, but he definitely wouldn't let anyone off easy.
Soon, the group got into the car. Tiffany grabbed Nora's hand. "Nora, about today... please don't tell my mom..."
She was already heartbroken enough over Uncle Arthur's situation today, and she didn't want to cause her any more pain.
"Don't worry, I won't say a word."
"And Hudson..."
Hudson let out a cold snort, but before he could say anything, Nora patted her hand. "Rest assured, your brother won't say anything either."
Tiffany instantly threw herself into her arms. "Nora, you're the best."
"Don't hug my wife!" Hudson reached out his long arm and pulled Tiffany out of Nora's embrace. "Buckle your seatbelt and sit properly."
"Stingy!"
Hudson raised his hand and flicked her forehead. "Who are you talking about?"
Tiffany clutched her forehead and winced. "I was talking about myself, alright?"
Nora watched the siblings bicker, noting that Tiffany had regained some of her usual spirit. It seemed she had truly stepped out from the shadow of that scumbag.
After dropping Tiffany off, Nora and the others headed back to the Cloudwater Estate.
"If you hadn't stopped me today, I would've definitely taught that girl a harsh lesson!"
"Alright, it wasn't her fault anyway."
Hudson raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying it's my fault?"
Nora pursed her lips, a bit exasperated. "The absence of a father figure greatly impacts a girl's choices in partners. It's called the intergenerational transmission effect. If you want to blame someone, blame your irresponsible uncle..."
"My wife is so amazing, she even knows psychology?"
Nora recalled Dr. Leona Dalton telling her that Hudson was an expert in psychology. The way he was speaking right now was clearly just to tease her. She couldn't help but glare at him. "Anyway, you can't blame Tiffany for this."
"Got it. I won't deal with her; I'll deal with her dad instead. Happy?" Hudson smiled as he gently tapped the tip of her nose.
Nora gave him a playful glare. "That's more like it."
