Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Clues to the Identity
Julian Hawthorne originally intended to leave, but upon hearing this, he suddenly felt a twinge of reluctance.
"I’m not leaving, I’ll stay here with you for a while."
Nina Shaw immediately curled up a subtle smile.
On the other end of the phone, Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne heard these words and were instantly infuriated.
This foolish son, so easily manipulated by a few sweet words!
"Julian Hawthorne, listen carefully. If that’s the case, you don’t need to come back, and forget about being the CEO of The Hawthorne Group!"
After delivering this message, Mrs. Hawthorne decisively hung up the phone.
Julian Hawthorne didn’t take this seriously at all, but half an hour later, his assistant called: "Young Master Hawthorne, your position as CEO has been revoked."
What?
Not only Julian, even Nina Shaw was shocked.
Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne weren’t joking; Julian wasn’t the CEO of The Hawthorne Group anymore, so what value did he have?
For a moment, the grievance Nina had been pretending just froze on her face.
Julian’s mind also momentarily went blank; he never expected his parents to be so serious.
His expression turned grave, and he had no choice but to return home, leaving in a hurry without even saying goodbye to Nina.
Nina Shaw watched his retreating figure, cursing under her breath.
Useless, getting dismissed just like that!
Now, it seems Brother Sebastian is indeed more capable!
The Hawthorne family.
When Julian returned, he wore a stormy expression.
He had just learned that it was Winnie Winslow who went to the old house, and only then did Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne call him. This woman was truly restless.
"Madam, what are you doing?"
The Hawthorne family servant looked at Winnie Winslow packing things and was shocked.
Why leave when everything’s fine?
Winnie smiled, "Dad and Mom asked me to move to the old house."
"Winnie!"
Suddenly, a man’s stern voice resounded, and Julian strode over, staring at Winnie as if to bore holes into her.
Winnie calmly gazed at him, "What? Are you venting your frustration on me because you’re unhappy upon returning? Julian Hawthorne, where is your face?"
This tone rendered Julian speechless, and he said with a grim face, "What did you tell my parents?"
Julian couldn’t understand how Winnie, marrying in just for money, had managed to make everyone in the Hawthorne family like her so much.
And now she was even threatening to sever ties with him. Could it be that he was adopted?
Winnie touched her belly and directly threw photos of him with Nina onto his face.
"Cheater, you have no right to talk to me."
If not for this child, she would have divorced him already. The child strengthens her position, otherwise he would be lucky not to have been divorced yet.
Julian’s face turned green upon seeing those photos.
"Who took these?"
"Why should you care who took them? I just don’t want to see you for now."
Winnie couldn’t be bothered to argue with him; after speaking, she was ready to leave.
Julian instinctively moved to follow her, but his assistant’s call interrupted: "Young Master Hawthorne, we have a lead on w’s identity."
In an instant, he halted, "Send it to me immediately."
Opening the laptop, the assistant had already sent all the compiled information.
There was a photo of w, but just a silhouette.
w was wearing a black windbreaker, a black baseball cap, with very slender calves, likely a woman.
Julian’s face turned grim. What kind of lead was this, just a silhouette? In all of Celestia, wasn’t it like finding a needle in a haystack?!
But upon closer inspection, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity... as if he’d seen it somewhere before...
"Ding—"
The melodic phone ringtone suddenly rang, and it was actually...
