Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Who Gave You Such Audacity? (1)
Claire North couldn’t help it anymore, and shouted angrily at Raina North: "Raina, just what kind of trick did you pull to make Baby not recognize me, his supposed mommy!"
Brenda Adler held her daughter’s arm, with a grim expression: "Raina, you are indeed more capable than I imagined. First, you hid from Claire and married into The Hawthorne Family, then brought two bastards into the house! Well done, very well done!"
Bastards?
The word pierced Raina’s heart, and her face suddenly turned cold. The chill and murderous intent that had been suppressed in her eyes burst forth as she gnashed her teeth and angrily said, "Say that again if you dare!"
"Why? Does it hurt to hear? If it’s uncomfortable, why did you do such shameless things in the first place? At a young age, you sold yourself for five million behind your fiancé’s back. Now that the man is willing to take responsibility for you, you don’t agree because you’re greedy for riches?"
Brenda’s emotions were somewhat out of control. After she had managed to take down that woman with difficulty, only to realize eighteen years later that her own biological daughter had been swapped.
Fortunately, heaven showed mercy. Her daughter was beautiful and talented, quickly suppressing Raina so she couldn’t lift her head.
If Raina were willing to obediently be trampled underfoot and quietly become a piece of decaying mud, then so be it, but she wouldn’t.
After returning to Southgate, she not only replaced Claire to marry into The Hawthorne Family but even the children she bore were Elias Hawthorne’s.
She had to find a way to quickly drive Raina away from Elias Hawthorne, making her leave Southgate forever and never come back.
Otherwise, this secret would be exposed one day, and then, she and her precious daughter would probably never be able to lift their heads!
That vile woman would definitely laugh at her!
No, she couldn’t accept that!
Brenda’s face was grim: "Raina, if you have any sense, you’ll quickly divorce Elias Hawthorne and give those bastards a family, otherwise don’t blame me as a mother for really teaching this ungrateful daughter a lesson!"
A cold light flickered in Raina’s eyes as she sneered, "Brenda, your frantic appearance really makes you look like a villain about to have their dirty secrets exposed!"
Bang—
These words exploded in Brenda Adler’s ears, she couldn’t control her emotions a bit, raised her hand, and fiercely swung it towards Raina.
Raina unhesitatingly grabbed Brenda’s wrist and forcefully flung it away.
Brenda was thrown to the ground with great force, and the huge impact caused her to cry out in pain.
"Mommy!"
Claire North rushed over, helping Brenda up, and seeing her face full of pain, shook with anger.
She pointed a finger at Raina’s nose, shouting angrily: "Raina, you’re really too much! How can you confront Mommy like this! After all, she personally raised you! You’re really too cruel!"
As Claire’s words fell, all around arose sounds of condemnation, every voice exceptionally harsh, as if Raina had dug their ancestral graves.
Brenda leaned on Claire, the pain in her elbow making her expression increasingly sinister. She gritted her teeth, her lips trembling: "Raina, from now on I sever the mother-daughter relationship with you, completely cutting ties!"
Susan Kensington’s eyes flashed with a hint of joy, she timely spoke: "I will report today’s matters to Vincent to inform the Hawthorne Family elders. The eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law of The Hawthorne Family must not be of vile character. As a mother-in-law, I absolutely cannot accept such a malicious person."
"Mother-in-law?"
Suddenly, a mocking cold laugh resounded.
Everyone turned, only to see Jasper Hawthorne strolling over, wearing a suit with casual elegance.
He stopped beside Raina, towering over Susan with his height, his expression on his face ambiguous and coldly said, "Who gave you such confidence to dare call yourself my sister-in-law’s mother-in-law?"
