Claire North hesitated for a long time, but ultimately her hatred for Raina North prevented her from giving up, especially after Brenda Adler’s plan failed completely and Susan Kensington’s attitude changed, bringing Claire back again.
"This time, I want to ruin Raina North’s reputation! I want her dead!"
Morgan Payne was overjoyed. He pulled Claire North into his arms and planted a heavy kiss on her lips, saying in a sickly sweet voice, "Baby, as you wish."
Claire only felt nauseated, her skin prickling involuntarily as if she were being forced to swallow a fly.
Claire’s expression twisted as she gritted her teeth and asked, "What exactly is your plan?"
"Didn’t I just say? Raina went to the hospital, which means Old Master North’s surgery might be performed by her. If her surgery fails, the enraged North Family might tear her apart!"
"Raina is Void, it’s not going to be easy to make her fail." Claire suddenly realized, "Do you have a way?"
"It’s just a small matter." Morgan moved a little closer to Claire, deeply inhaling the scent of her hair, which intoxicated him: "Claire, you’re also trained in medicine. You should know that even the smallest surgeries have risks of failure, let alone a delicate heart surgery."
Claire’s eyes lit up, "Are you saying there’s a way for that old fool to die on the operating table without anyone knowing?"
Claire’s eyes were full of delight but quickly shook her head in refusal, "No, that old man can’t die."
Morgan was surprised, "Why? Claire, don’t tell me you’re feeling some familial bonds with that old guy now!"
"Of course not, that old guy has always been displeased with me, constantly defending that witch Raina, why would I care about family ties?" Thinking of how Old Master North was eager to marry her off for Raina, a shadow passed through her eyes: "I just remembered that thirty percent of Northwind Pharmaceuticals’ shares are still in Raina’s hands. If the old man dies just like that, those shares can’t be retrieved." Get full chapters from nοvelfire.net
"Who said they can’t be retrieved? Just forge a will from the old man saying he wants to take back those shares."
"If only it were that easy, once something is given to Raina, getting it back isn’t that simple."
Morgan said, "It might not be easy in ordinary times, but if the old man is murdered, Raina is not only the chief surgeon but also the biggest beneficiary of his death. Guess what outsiders would say if that got out?"
Claire’s eyes lit up, her face full of joy, "They would definitely think that Raina deliberately botched the surgery for the money. Even if Raina herself doesn’t care about these words, the little brats who crawled out of her belly would. To protect them, Raina will definitely return the shares."
More importantly, such an act of killing a close relative for money would be intolerable not only to a prestigious family like the Hawthorne Family but even to an ordinary one.
Without Raina, marrying into the Hawthorne Family would be easy. Once she marries into the Hawthorne Family, Raina would be insignificant, and dealing with her would be as simple as crushing an ant.
"Exactly. Claire, you’re truly smart." Morgan kissed her cheek again.
Claire resisted the urge to wipe it off, suppressing the nausea inside her, "It sounds great, but how exactly do you plan to cause Raina’s mistake? You can’t just say so with your mouth, right?"
"I knew you’d say that, darling. Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared everything." Morgan took out something dry and twig-like.
