She turned another page, and when she saw the list of herbs on the latest dated page, she was first shocked, and then her eyes widened as she cried out, "This... this... how is this possible?"
Vincent Hawthorne raised his eyes and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Uncle, are these really the medicines Raina wants to use on Baby Hawthorne?"
Vincent Hawthorne frowned slightly, with displeasure: "Are you doubting me?"
"No, it’s not like that. It’s just that this matter is very important, so I’m confirming with you again."
"Of course it is. I scared him enough that he wouldn’t dare fool me randomly."
"Then... then... how can Baby Hawthorne still have his life!" Follow current novᴇls on NoveIＦire.net
Upon hearing this, Vincent Hawthorne was shocked: "What do you mean by that?"
"Uncle, look, among the latest batch of herbs Raina had the second young master collect, only eight kinds are mild and balanced herbs, the rest are poisons, such as this twenty-year-old Kovan Serpent. Its venom needs only one milligram to make a grown man unconscious, ten milligrams can be lethal. And this toad is entirely toxic, and then this... and this..."
Claire North listed more than twenty kinds of herbs in one breath, each extremely toxic.
Claire North said, "If Raina were to use them on Baby Hawthorne, he wouldn’t stand a chance!"
Vincent Hawthorne’s face grew uglier as he listened, slamming his hand fiercely on the arm of the sofa, shouting in anger, "Nonsense! It’s absolute nonsense! Are those two fools really trying to kill Baby Hawthorne?"
Claire North was already impatient with Vincent Hawthorne’s display of power, urging, "Uncle, please hurry, or Baby Hawthorne might really be beyond saving!"
"Right, you’re right! I’ll have someone prepare right away!"
Claire North supported Vincent Hawthorne as they walked out, occasionally urging him, looking anxious.
She was indeed very anxious, because if Baby Hawthorne were truly to die at the hands of Raina, although the entire Hawthorne Family would hate Raina, her connection with Elias Hawthorne would be severed.
Now Elias Hawthorne was so indifferent to her, without Baby as a bridge, how could she marry into the Hawthorne Family and become the most esteemed woman in Southgate?
If, in the past, breaking her obsession and marrying Beau Shelby was a fairly good choice, then after Raina circulated her scandalous photos worldwide, it was impossible to just settle.
Just like she had told Beau Shelby before.
Whenever she’s in public, she would constantly face the meaningful glances from others, whispers behind her back, and widespread gossip.
At first, Beau Shelby might feel sorry for her, but over time he would be affected, and by then, all they’d have left would be endless silent conflicts and arguments.
She absolutely did not want to live such a pathetic life.
Therefore, Elias Hawthorne was her best and only choice.
An hour later, the car stopped, and Vincent Hawthorne hurriedly got out even before the car came to a complete stop.
Just at the door, he ran into Jasper Hawthorne coming out.
Jasper Hawthorne ignored Vincent Hawthorne and continued walking.
Vincent Hawthorne strode over, blocking Jasper Hawthorne’s path, and seeing his indifferent face, couldn’t help but scold, "Won’t you greet your father?"
"Is there? Where is my father?"
"You!" Vincent Hawthorne was furious: "You rebellious son, you won’t even recognize your own father?"
Jasper Hawthorne chuckled lazily, "Old sir, have you seen a rebellious son recognize his father? Besides, not every father is worth recognizing, don’t you think?"
