Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Not Worthy of Comparison With Her (1)
"Yes." Gideon North said matter-of-factly, "No matter what, you ultimately need the identity of the North Family’s eldest daughter, don’t you? So, be obedient and stop causing trouble."
"Trouble? Haha... haha!"
Raina North couldn’t help but laugh, laughing loudly, as if it was the funniest joke in the world.
Suddenly, Raina collected her laughter, her gaze cold: "Mr. North, what makes you think, as a phoenix soaring high, that I would cherish this North Family nest?"
Gideon North’s face flushed red, "You!"
"Raina North! Don’t you have any conscience left!" An angry roar sounded, followed by the sound of a slap swinging towards her.
Raina’s eyes sharpened, and the silver needle in her hand unceremoniously stabbed into Brenda Adler’s wrist.
"Ah!"
Brenda screamed in pain.
"Raina, you..." Gideon North looked at Raina’s cold and stern expression, not daring to scold her as freely as before, softened his tone and said, "No matter what, she’s your father’s wife, and someone you’ve called ’Mom’ for years. Aren’t you afraid of being labeled unfilial?"
"Not afraid, as long as you dare to make a fuss, I guarantee The North Family will be trending online every day. I don’t care, I’m already married anyway, but I wonder what Claire North will think?"
As soon as she said this, Gideon and Brenda’s faces turned extremely ugly.
Brenda growled further, "Raina North, don’t go too far, I’ve already agreed for you to be the North Family’s eldest daughter again, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Gideon added, "Raina, know when to stop."
Raina was utterly speechless, "I know exactly what you’re plotting, so give it up, I won’t agree. If I were you, I’d wisely maintain the current balance, but if you’re determined to cause me trouble, I’m not afraid, while I wonder if your fragile porcelain can withstand some clashes?"
Raina’s threatening words made Brenda and Gideon change their expressions.
"Raina!" Gideon, seeing Raina’s full face of impatience, sighed, "Since you can’t understand your father’s good intentions, I won’t force you. But tomorrow is your grandfather’s birthday, and you must attend, or how would you repay your grandfather’s love for you?"
Raina was silent for a moment, "Fine."
After saying that, she turned swiftly and entered The Veridian Institute of Medicine.
Brenda watched Raina’s back with a sullen gaze, "North, it seems your daughter won’t let you attach yourself to her."
Gideon’s face didn’t look good either, he said fiercely, "She’s got no choice!" He paused and said, "I don’t only have this one daughter."
Brenda’s lips curved slightly, yet her eyes were full of gloom, but she only had one daughter!
...
The Veridian Institute of Medicine.
Claire North prepared a cup of tea and handed it to Aaron Warren, "Have some tea to cool off."
"Cool off? How can I cool off? I’ve been cursed at until I’m as swollen as a pig’s head!" Aaron shouted, only then realizing something was wrong, hurriedly apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I’m just too frustrated!"
Ever since Raina reported him, his life has been rough, his family often scolded him, and the other elders endlessly nagged.
A flash of displeasure crossed Claire North’s eyes, but her face was full of understanding and compassion, she said gently, "I know, I know. Chief Warren, calm down."
Aaron felt even more guilty, "If only Raina North had even a tenth of your composure, The Veridian Institute wouldn’t be a mess because of her!"
