But the silver needles I carry are all commonly used and not thick enough. Helpless, I thought of the compass students often use, the steel needle on the other end is just right."
Claire North, who was pretending to be unconscious, couldn’t help but sneer in her heart after hearing Raina North’s words.
Raina just spouts nonsense!
She doesn’t believe that Raina really dares to lay a hand on her!
This is in broad daylight, after all!
"So that’s how it is."
"Where’s the compass? Who has a compass!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately started looking.
This residential area is primarily a school district, so many of the residents are here to send their children to school, thus a compass was quickly found.
"Thank you, little friend. After I heal my sister, she will repay you with two new ones."
"No, no need." The little girl summoned her courage, blushing, and said, "Master Void, I admire you so much. Can you sign an autograph for me later?"
Raina patted the little girl’s head, "Sure."
Raina straightened the compass and used a makeup cotton pad to wipe the tip of the steel needle, her fingers gauging Claire’s arm, then without hesitation, she stabbed it.
Claire was taken aback, never expecting Raina to actually dare to attack her. Isn’t Raina afraid that after stabbing her, she’d pretend to have aftereffects as a result?
Although Claire very much wanted to mess with Raina like that, she wouldn’t actually allow her to lay a hand on her.
Her enmity with Raina runs deep; this woman wouldn’t pass up the opportunity. Even though she could hold her accountable afterwards, if anything went wrong, she would still be the one to suffer!
These thoughts whirled in Claire’s mind. Her heart filled with fear, she could no longer continues pretending, suddenly opening her eyes and forcefully pushing away Raina’s arm, screaming sharply, "Get away! Don’t touch me!"
After shouting, when she caught sight of Raina’s eyes, which seemed to be both amused and mocking, Claire realized she’d been tricked.
Sure enough, Raina, due to Grandfather, wouldn’t directly confront her. But if she deliberately provoked, even Grandfather might not protect her.
What’s even worse is that this was in broad daylight, and everyone saw what she did.
As expected, the people around all turned to look at Claire, already starting to discuss with those next to them.
"I really didn’t think Claire would be faking it, acting again. I was just worried she might really be in trouble. This woman really likes to act."
"If she didn’t, how could Raina have been disgraced and driven out of the North Family back then? If she wasn’t so cunning, how could she have given birth to the Hawthorne’s little prince? If that wasn’t enough, I’ve also heard that this woman has always been scheming to have Raina divorce Elias Hawthorne, so she could marry into The Hawthorne Family thanks to her child, becoming the most noble woman in Southgate!"
"With someone like Claire, she wants to be the most noble woman in Southgate? Can she even see if she’s worthy?"
"Even though they were both raised by the North Family, how can the differences be so vast? One is upright, low-key, kind and generous, while the other loves vanity, fawns on the powerful and tramples on the weak, framing her sister, she’s just a scheming snake. As long as President Hawthorne isn’t blind, he won’t choose such a woman."
"You’re right! Once we’re home, let’s leave a message on the official website, advising President Hawthorne not to be deceived by a woman like Claire. Bringing her home could lead to family discord! If it affects The Hawthorne Group, we’ll have nowhere to cry. Don’t forget, Southgate’s prosperity today relies on The Hawthorne Group’s presence. If family discord affects The Hawthorne Group, who knows how many families’ livelihoods will be destroyed." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel★fire.net
"Yes, absolutely right."
As soon as these words came out, they received countless responses, everyone was furious.
