If it weren’t for the fact that she’s a different person now, she would have been utterly destroyed today. Given her temper, she would definitely have plastered Claire North’s scandal all over the place, ruining her reputation to satisfy her anger.
Grandpa is her only family, and he has always treated her well. No matter how unwilling she is, today she has no choice but to suppress this matter.
However, this cannot be the end of it. Otherwise, Brenda Adler and Claire North will surely become more audacious.
She has to come up with a good plan to let Brenda Adler and Claire North taste the consequences of their actions!
Outside the bathroom.
Elias Hawthorne stood on the balcony, opening the window to catch the breeze. Even so, the agitation in his body wouldn’t subside anytime soon.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang, and it was Baby Hawthorne calling.
As soon as he answered, Baby Hawthorne’s urgent voice came through, "Daddy, did you control your little birdie?"
Elias Hawthorne: "..."
Baby Hawthorne was instantly shocked, "Daddy, you didn’t keep it under control, did you!"
The veins on Elias Hawthorne’s forehead throbbed violently. There was nothing more frustrating than being questioned by his son about whether he had controlled his little birdie.
His expression was grotesque as he said in a sinister tone, "Caden Hawthorne, are you itching for trouble again?"
Baby Hawthorne sighed, "Daddy, this is serious business. You don’t know how severe the consequences could be."
"Stop the nonsense, get to the point."
"Oh." Hearing his dad’s voice, Baby Hawthorne knew his mommy was still safe, and his virtue was still intact. "I’m calling now to let you know that I’ve decided to be unfilial."
"..." Elias Hawthorne frowned. "You want to expose the video from tonight?"
"Yes." Baby Hawthorne’s voice turned cold, "The North Family dared to bully my mommy . We can’t let it go!"
"You forget, it was your mommy who suppressed this matter."
"You said it yourself; it was my mommy who suppressed it, not me. As a filial son, seeing my mommy suffer such humiliation, if I impulsively expose the matter, it would be understandable. After all, I’m just a child."
"I don’t agree." Elias Hawthorne stated, "I’ll have your second uncle keep an eye on you. You’re not allowed to do anything."
"Daddy!" Baby Hawthorne exclaimed in disbelief, "How can you do this! Are you worthy of mommy’s trust in you?"
"Caden Hawthorne, no matter how despicable Claire North is, she is still your biological mother." If a child acts against their biological mother, it’ll be criticized regardless of the reason.
Elias Hawthorne said, "I’ll handle this matter. You stay out of it."
"Alright then, I knew Daddy would handle it well." Baby Hawthorne added, "Daddy, make sure to keep your little birdie in check, don’t let it fly over to Raina’s side, or I’ll have to be unfilial twice."
Elias Hawthorne: "..."
As soon as the call ended, there was a knock on the door, and Wanda Woods came in holding a small porcelain bottle, "Um, President Hawthorne, the medicine is ready."
Just as Elias Hawthorne was about to take it, a shout came from the bathroom.
"Raina!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovelHub(.)net
Elias Hawthorne burst into the bathroom by forcefully opening the door.
Raina North, enduring the pain of a leg cramp, submerged herself without hesitation, gritting her teeth and said fiercely, "Elias Hawthorne, what do you think you’re doing?"
"Who told you to scream so loudly in there?" Elias Hawthorne’s gaze lingered on Raina, and in that moment, his desire peaked to its highest.
