"How can my sister compare to Void?" Claire North couldn’t bear it any longer, "The Ghost Doctor Nowhere is the heir of the Ghost Doctor’s Vale, and his mastery of the Ghost Doctor Thirteen Needles can bring the dead back to life. My sister may be exceptionally gifted, a genius among the younger generation, but compared to someone like Void who made his name at the age of twenty-three..."
Seeing everyone looking at her, Claire North immediately clammed up, adopting an expression of inadvertently misspeaking, and murmured an apology, "Sister, I’m sorry, I, I didn’t mean to belittle you. It’s just that I admire Void so much that I couldn’t help it."
She quickly added, "Actually, my sister is really amazing. Even after being expelled from The Veridian Institute of Medicine five years ago and having two children, despite the tough circumstances, she still managed to achieve victory today. It’s truly remarkable."
Claire North’s face was full of admiration.
However, Aaron Warren’s eyes were filled with disdain, and he sneered, "Claire, you’re really naïve. Geniuses also need to keep learning; a genius who doesn’t progress will end up like anyone else—a wasted talent.
As for Raina North winning today... Ha! Who knows what’s behind it? Everyone should be careful; with so many established figures, if something goes wrong and reputations are ruined, there will be no turning back."
This woman has occupied Claire’s position since birth, and later, after her background was exposed, she degraded herself to have children for an old man for five million.
For such a shameless woman to now be honored and acclaimed, is there anything more ludicrous in this world?
The others, although not as blunt as Aaron Warren, no longer maintained the enthusiastic atmosphere of before.
Leila Foster was furious, ready to leap up and argue with Aaron Warren, but before she could speak, a voice full of deep anger emerged, "Are you saying that I’m blind, Elias Hawthorne, that I can’t tell right from wrong?"
Raina North was somewhat shocked, not expecting Elias Hawthorne to speak up at this moment. The wisest course for him now would have been to remain silent.
Aaron Warren was even more astonished. Had Elias Hawthorne also been deceived by this woman’s facade?
Unconvinced and about to speak, Aaron was abruptly pinched by his Second Uncle.
Aaron Warren begrudgingly swallowed the words he was about to say.
Elias Hawthorne, however, wasn’t ready to let it go: "Apologize!"
In that moment, the aura he emitted surged like a tidal wave.
The tension in the air became so thick that it was difficult to breathe.
"I said, apologize." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ⓝovelFire.net
Aaron Warren could no longer hold on, and he hung his head in humiliation before Raina North, "Sor... Sorry!"
Raina North didn’t say anything. She couldn’t express forgiveness, nor did she plan to dwell on it.
After all, it was just a man who didn’t think clearly, nothing worth minding.
While Raina North let it slide, Elias Hawthorne was not so ready to forgive and coldly stated, "Since it’s an apology, the other party must forgive you for it to count."
"I..." Aaron Warren was on the verge of losing control.
But as he began to speak, his head was sharply slapped by his Second Uncle.
Second Uncle Warren bowed and said respectfully, "President Hawthorne is right. Actually, I also feel that Aaron’s previous apology was not sincere enough. Apologize once more to Apothecary North."
Second Uncle Warren’s eyes were full of threat and coldness.
Un nephew who was spoiled and incognizant of the world, he knew well the power the name Elias Hawthorne carried.
And, Raina North was the woman that Elias Hawthorne protected.
Not to mention that Raina didn’t seem like one to be trifled with; even if she were a dog, they would have to treat her with respect.
