Claire North gave Raina North a once-over, her previous anger replaced by a newfound sense of superiority: "Sister, is it convenient to invite Evelyn and me inside for a chat?"
"Not convenient." Raina North refused without hesitation. Her little one at home was so adorable that letting someone as cheap as Claire North take a glance would be a loss.
Claire North was more convinced that Raina North was not doing well, which made her happy, but outwardly, she still put on a considerate demeanor: "It’s okay, we sisters can say a few words here just as well."
Raina North glanced at Claire North, impatient: "I have nothing to say to you."
Claire North sighed: "Sister, don’t be . You should know, even if you don’t want to talk, some things have to be resolved." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novèlfire.net
"That’s right." Evelyn Xavier couldn’t help but say: "Claire North, you don’t really think that just because you don’t go back to The North Family, you don’t have to give up Northwind’s shares, do you?"
"So it was still about those shares." Raina North was not surprised. Northwind’s thirty-one percent shares hadn’t been on her mind, she had even planned to find a chance to return them to her grandfather, but now she had changed her mind.
Keeping them in hand and watching The North Family jump around was actually quite amusing.
Claire North adopted a sincere expression: "Even if you resent me, you must consider dad. He’s getting older; do you really want him to worry about us sisters? And grandpa’s health is not great either, can you bear letting him be uneasy every day? Of course, I won’t let you suffer. Here’s a check for ten million, please accept it."
Evelyn Xavier looked at the long string of zeros, her eyes widened, full of jealousy. Raina North was really lucky to get such a large sum of money.
Raina North glanced at it and couldn’t help but sneer: "Claire North, are you having memory loss? I remember my asking price was ten billion. You’re trying to fob me off with ten million. Do you really think I’m an idiot?"
Evelyn Xavier angrily said: "Raina North, don’t push it too far!"
Claire North held her back: "Sister, I can make the decision to give you another ten million. This is all my savings."
"Finished talking?" Raina North sneered coldly and instructed, "Wendy, show them out."
The little maid beside Raina North immediately walked over: "Ladies, please."
Claire North bit her lower lip, looking aggrieved: "Sister, do you really have to be ?"
Raina North didn’t even lift her eyelids, thoughtfully stroking her chin. She was seriously considering if she was really too idle, otherwise why would she come to see Claire North.
It was really so unnecessary, spending the great time with her little one at home, wouldn’t that be delightful?
"Sister!" Claire North stopped Raina North as she prepared to leave: "I feel there’s something necessary for you to see. Maybe it will change your mind."
As she spoke, Claire North took out a document bag from her handbag.
Raina North took it, opened it, and saw photos of her with Bobby and Elias Hawthorne at the mall on that day.
The resolution was a bit poor, but the angles were good, definitely looked like a family.
Thinking of last night’s intimacy, Raina North’s complexion turned a bit red.
Claire North thought Raina North was angry, confident in her victory: "Although brother-in-law is disabled, you’ve already married him. As a married woman, going out publicly with another man —if this were to get out, I’m afraid your once-clear reputation would be tarnished. Then The Hawthorne Family might not have a place for you either. Sister, do you really want to create a situation where both sides lose, and no one is at peace before you’re satisfied?"
