Five hours later, the door to the lab was opened.
Raina came out from inside.
Jasper Hawthorne immediately went up to her, anxiously asking, "Sis-in-law, how is it? Is my big brother okay now?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
When he asked this, Jasper’s heart was in his throat, terrified of hearing any bad news.
He had helped his brother keep this hidden from the Hawthorne Family. If anything were to really happen to his brother, he would be unable to repay such a sin, even if he were sliced to death a thousand times.
Raina raised her hand to remove her mask, revealing a face full of exhaustion. Hearing Jasper’s question, she snorted coldly, "If your blood brother is not okay, wouldn’t that mean you, his blood brother, could finally rise to power?"
Jasper quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I don’t dare. I’m not tired of living yet, nor eager to sit in my brother’s seat."
Can the positions of the Family Head of the Hawthorne Family and the CEO of The Hawthorne Group be occupied by just anyone?
Without his brother’s abilities, he would probably work himself to death in the company and still be scolded as incompetent.
Just thinking about it is a headache, and he’s not crazy.
"Sis-in-law, in the past, a thousand mistakes were all my fault, you can handle me however you want. It’s just about my brother..."
"Don’t worry, he won’t die." Raina looked at Jasper’s pitiful expression, too lazy to argue with him: "Baby also took medicine, but since he was poisoned for a long time, he might not wake up until tomorrow."
"That’s good, that’s good." Jasper’s eyes reddened with excitement, "Sis-in-law, from now on, you are truly my sister-in-law. No matter if it’s to walk through fire or go through hell, I won’t even frown."
"So, before, I was just a temporary sister-in-law?"
"..." Jasper: "Well, shouldn’t the focus be on my loyalty after that?"
"Hmph." Raina was too tired to argue with Jasper, turning her head, Raina turned her head, her gaze shooting towards Casper North, who was stealthily preparing to escape: "Go, grab Casper North for me."
"Well... sis-in-law, you’ve worked hard for so long, why not go back to your room to rest first, you can deal with other matters after resting."
"I can still hold on."
Jasper hurriedly advised, although the brother Casper is a bit money-loving, look, didn’t he protect both big brother and nephew?
Raina’s gaze lightly drifted over, "Would you walk through fire and go through hell for me, huh?"
"Alright, I’ll go catch him for you right now." With that, Jasper didn’t hesitate and charged towards Casper North.
Casper didn’t expect that their ally-junior brother would betray him just like that, and coupled with the fact that he was smaller and had shorter legs, he was caught in no time.
Casper kicked and struggled with his legs, "Damn, Uncle, you’re selling me out already? Didn’t you say you’d rebuild my reputation!"
"Before rebuilding your reputation, isn’t there still the step of skinning?" Jasper brought Casper in front of Raina, respectfully saying: "Sis-in-law, I’ve brought Casper North. Do as you please."
Casper lifted his face with a flattering smile, "Mommy!"
"Don’t think calling me Mommy, or even Ancestor, will do any good!" Raina pressed Casper over her knee, and smacked him a few times.
"You little brat, how dare you trick your mommy! I see you’ve tired of living!"
Casper obediently lay down, not daring to struggle.
Raina’s anger didn’t subside: "Casper North, if you really are tired of living, just say so, there’s no need to use some poison cooked up by god knows which bastard. The poisons here from me can make sure you die thoroughly!"
Casper drooped his head and weakly said, "Raina, I’m not tired of living yet."
