Claire North really cried this time, incredulously saying, "Grandma, have you really decided to ignore Baby? He’s always wanted to be with his biological mom."
This was her biggest support!
Who knew Old Mrs. Hawthorne would let out a cold laugh and say indifferently, "You’re wrong, Baby wishes to be with Raina."
Now that the situation had escalated, Old Mrs. Hawthorne finally understood that her dear great-grandson didn’t care who his biological mom was.
If his biological mom were Raina, he would care about her. If Raina were his stepmom, he’d like his stepmom.
In other words, he likes Raina as a person.
Claire North choked on Old Mrs. Hawthorne’s words, almost dying on the spot.
Always Raina! Once again, she was blocking her path!
Claire North glared venomously at Raina, her sharp gaze sending chills down one’s spine.
Old Mrs. Hawthorne observed this and couldn’t help but shake her head, becoming even more disappointed in Claire North.
Thankfully, her dear great-grandson didn’t like Claire North, the biological mom. Otherwise, if the Hawthorne Family had invited a woman through the door, it would indeed have been a family misfortune.
The other clan elders, seeing Old Mrs. Hawthorne’s reaction, became more enthusiastic, almost ready to decide whom Elias Hawthorne should marry on the spot.
Raina looked at those clan elders who were arguing to the point of almost overturning the roof and couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
She tapped the table, catching everyone’s attention, and said, "Folks, can you show some respect? Elias and I are not yet divorced; I am still Mrs. Hawthorne! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll refuse to divorce out of anger if you’re so impatient to find a second wife for my husband? Or do you just dislike Elias so much that you want him to leave empty-handed and be kicked out of the Hawthorne Family?"
Since Vincent Hawthorne caused that incident for Susan, the Hawthorne Family had specifically amended the clan rules, stating that anyone neglecting their spouse for outside affairs would be expelled from the family and no longer be considered a Hawthorne.
The clan elders were well aware of this rule and immediately shut their mouths.
Raina still felt anger in her heart. This text is hosted at novel⦿fire.net
Though she had already decided to use this opportunity to detach herself from the Hawthorne Family, their eagerness still made her very angry!
Raina took several deep breaths to suppress the impulse to tear up the divorce papers and throw them in the faces of this group of old fogies.
Raina nodded towards Elias Hawthorne, impatiently saying, "Make it quick; can’t you see the Hawthorne are already eager to kick me out?"
"Who?" Elias Hawthorne’s voice was cold and hard, his sharp gaze like ice sweeping over everyone.
Those who were caught by his gaze felt a chill in their hearts, quickly closing their mouths and daring not utter a word.
Elias Hawthorne was satisfied and looked at Raina: "There is no such person."
The Hawthorne elders: "..."
They all thought that way, but under Elias Hawthorne’s threat, none dared to speak the truth.
Vincent Hawthorne furrowed his brows: "Elias..."
"Dad... dear father, my dear father." Felix Hawthorne darted forward as soon as Vincent Hawthorne began to speak, covering Vincent’s mouth, saying sincerely, "Please just shut up, I still want to enjoy my time; don’t get yourself killed."
After all, as long as he had this freeloading dad around, he could continue to live freely; for his own sake, he had to ensure his father managed his mouth well.
Elias Hawthorne: "Since everyone sincerely blesses us, this divorce agreement can be torn up.
The Hawthorne elders: "..."
We do not bless this!
Honestly, they swear!
Elias Hawthorne ignored them, handing the divorce agreement to Raina: "Tear it up."
