Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind (Part 2)
"I know, my sister has made a huge mistake, but what can I do? She is still my sister. And..." Claire North’s face darkened, "Did you forget? After all, she is already legally married to Elias, and technically, she’s part of The Hawthorne Family. If this issue blows up, Elias will also be affected. I... I want him to be well and not have his reputation damaged because of my sister."
Mrs. Hawthorne pulled Claire North into her arms and sighed, looking at Vincent Hawthorne, "Claire has a point. After all, we’re all family."
"What family? I’ve never acknowledged it! Once I find Elias, I’ll make him divorce that woman. The century-old reputation of The Hawthorne Family must not be ruined by this woman!"
Claire North was overjoyed; this was what she prayed for day and night, yet her face was full of worry, "Uncle..."
"Enough, no more talking." Elias Hawthorne interrupted Claire North’s words, "I don’t like disobedient daughters-in-law, so you need to be sensible, understand?"
"Yes."
Half an hour later, the car came to a stop.
Vincent Hawthorne stepped out of the car with Mrs. Hawthorne and Claire North.
The bodyguards hurriedly went to press the doorbell.
However, despite the ringing for quite some time, no one opened the door.
Mrs. Hawthorne looked at the pitch-black room, "Jasper seems not to be home."
Colin saw Vincent Hawthorne look over and nodded to confirm, "Indeed, the second young master is not home."
Vincent Hawthorne yelled angrily, "This bastard, at a time like this, he’s still out fooling around!"
But cursing was of no use; they couldn’t find Jasper Hawthorne.
Mrs. Hawthorne furrowed her brow, "What should we do next?"
Vincent Hawthorne’s face darkened, and he said nothing.
Seeing this, Claire North couldn’t help but speak up again, "Actually, there is a way to find my sister."
Vincent Hawthorne looked at Claire North, "Go on."
"Capture Wanda Woods," Claire North said softly, "I just received news today that my sister’s pharmacist license hasn’t been approved yet, so she’s not a legitimate pharmacist. This means that whether she’s developing anti-cancer drugs or creating an antidote for Baby, it’s illegal. As the person who recruited my sister into The Veridian Institute of Medicine, Wanda Woods has undeniable responsibility. So as long as we capture her, my sister will definitely show up."
Vincent Hawthorne clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, "This Raina North has gone too far! Daring to make medicine without a pharmacist license, isn’t this blatant disregard for human life! Colin, go and bring Wanda Woods to me immediately!"
Colin went to carry out the order.
Claire North immediately let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to herself, as long as Raina isn’t heartless this time, she’ll definitely show up.
Previously, she’d heard from Chloe Jarvis that Vivian York had told her Elias Hawthorne’s situation was fairly stable, but Baby Hawthorne was just hanging on by a thread.
Once Raina was taken away, she planned to take the opportunity to take care of Elias Hawthorne.
This was when Elias Hawthorne was at his weakest, the best opportunity to strike when vulnerable, and she had to seize it firmly!
Mrs. Hawthorne didn’t miss the expression on Claire North’s face. She smiled slightly, as an elder, this time she intended to teach Claire North the lesson of being mindful of the consequences.
...
Raina North had just finished making fish porridge for Baby Hawthorne.
Baby Hawthorne was recovering and, after drinking a bowl of porridge, quickly fell asleep again.
Raina North checked Baby’s condition and was about to prepare more medicine for a quicker recovery when her phone rang.
It was a call from Wanda Woods.
Raina North answered the phone, "Hello, Director Woods, do you have any instructions?"
"Dare not instruct, just want to tell you something."
"Claire North."
