"She really knows how to play her cards right!" Claire North’s face twisted, and her tone couldn’t help but reveal spite.
Don’t think she doesn’t know Raina North’s malicious intent. She definitely wishes she would get married quickly.
As long as she marries Beau Shelby, she won’t threaten her status anymore!
Raina wants to step on her and become an exalted lady of high status, it’s simply a dream!
She would rather die than let that happen!
Beau Shelby was stunned. He looked at Claire North, hesitantly asking, "Claire, are you unhappy?"
"Of course I’m unhappy!"
"Claire..." Latest content published on novel✦fire.net
"Beau, I need to excuse myself for a moment."
"Claire!" Beau Shelby called after Claire North, but Claire didn’t even turn her head and left.
Beau Shelby frowned involuntarily. What was wrong with Claire? Why was she acting so strange?
For some reason, in Beau Shelby’s mind, he suddenly recalled something Raina North had said when he went to see her earlier.
Raina North said: [Are you sure Claire North still wants to marry you?]
Back then, Beau Shelby was firm, but now he wasn’t so sure.
Claire North found Brenda Adler while she was chatting with some ladies in the banqueting hall.
Those ladies, who usually looked down on others, were now showering Brenda with compliments.
"Mrs. North, when your daughter marries President Hawthorne, don’t forget to invite us to the wedding banquet."
"Mrs. North, let’s keep in touch more often like sisters, that way we’ll stay close."
"When President Hawthorne arrives later, Mrs. North, please introduce him to us. Now that everyone is in Southgate, we should look out for each other in the business world."
Listening to these ladies’ flattery, Brenda Adler felt both happy and sad, sad that the one marrying Elias Hawthorne was that bitch’s daughter.
She forced herself to say, "We’ve all been sisters for so many years, naturally whatever I have, you have. We help each other."
"Mrs. North is so generous."
"Isn’t she? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have such good fortune. As the mother-in-law of The Hell King Hawthorne, she could walk sideways in Southgate."
At this moment, a servant hurried over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Brenda Adler’s brows furrowed: "You go watch over it first."
"Yes." The servant quickly left.
Brenda Adler raised her smile and said, "There are some trivial matters at home I need to handle, please excuse me for a moment, make yourselves comfortable."
After speaking, she quickly turned and left in haste.
After Brenda Adler walked away, one of the ladies said, "What do you think Mrs. North is in such a hurry to leave for? In an event like today, shouldn’t she be enjoying our praises?"
Another lady sneered coldly: "Enjoy what? The one marrying into The Hawthorne Family isn’t her biological daughter."
"Speaking of which, it’s all fate. In the past, the eldest daughter was so filial to this mother, who would have thought one day the truth of her lineage would be revealed, turning her real mother into a stepmother. And the stepmother’s means are quite formidable. This eldest daughter then became a promiscuous woman."
The North Family really offered everyone a good showing back then; the details were obvious to anyone who wasn’t a fool.
"Who knows? But the eldest daughter is indeed fortunate to marry into The Hawthorne Family. If she proves her worth by bearing a son or two, who knows what The North Family’s future would look like!"
