Chapter 328: Chapter 328: The Hawthorne Family Tradition—Showing No Regard for Kin (2)
"I never signed the divorce agreement. Someone forged my signature, infringing on my marital freedom. I want to file a report."
Vincent Hawthorne’s face instantly turned dark.
The signatures on it were genuine; if Elias Hawthorne filed this report, the charges against Vincent would be solid.
Raina North hadn’t been sent to prison yet, but he himself might go first.
"Elias Hawthorne, I’m your dad!" Vincent Hawthorne said.
"So?" Elias Hawthorne retorted.
"Who do you think I’m doing all this for? Do you have to be so ruthless!" Vincent Hawthorne was angry. Wasn’t all this for the Hawthorne Family, for the Baby? He didn’t need Elias to appreciate it, but after doing this, how would he face the circle?
Elias Hawthorne said nothing, but his attitude spoke volumes.
The police officer glanced at the father and son, and then took the divorce agreement. "Mr. Hawthorne, don’t worry, we’ll conduct a handwriting analysis once we return to find the culprit."
Vincent Hawthorne snorted coldly, turning his head towards the police officer. "No need for handwriting analysis. The signature on the divorce agreement is forged by me. A misfortune within the family, my rebellious son is blinded by seduction, inviting a venomous serpent into the house, this woman..." Vincent Hawthorne pointed at Raina North, "attempted to poison my grandson, and when exposed, she was enraged and poisoned us again. I want a medical examination, I want to sue her. Please arrest her according to the law."
This brat wants to protect Raina North?
Today, he must drag this woman into prison.
Raina North looked at Vincent Hawthorne as if he were an idiot, and then glanced at Elias Hawthorne, her gaze saying, "Are you sure this is your real dad? His IQ is laughable!"
Elias Hawthorne was frustrated, turned his head away, not saying a word.
For some reason, Raina North felt Elias Hawthorne looked a bit pitiable in that moment, wanting to reach out and pat his head.
However, there were many people around, and she was maintaining her weak and pitiful persona, so she held back.
Seeing the police officer look over, Raina North spoke with a serious expression, "Officer, I have a few questions."
"Go ahead."
"Firstly, can I ask who saw me poisoning anyone?"
"..."
It seemed indeed that no one saw her poisoning anyone?
People didn’t even know how they got poisoned themselves.
"There are quite a few masters from The Veridian Institute of Medicine here. From when I arrived until the officer here came, it was only about ten minutes. Including the security, there were at least over thirty people here. Even if I did poison each individually, there wouldn’t be enough time."
"Perhaps you hid the poison beforehand, it was premeditated," someone in the crowd said.
"That’s even more impossible. I’m not the one who invited you; it’s not me who chose the location. I was ’notified’ to come here at the last minute. How could I have prepared poison in advance? Unless I knew early on you all would contact me in the dead of night to discuss ’work’? Furthermore, you all are master pharmacists; if trusted apprentices trick you, it’s understandable. But if I, someone new to the scene, managed to bring you down, am I that exceptionally talented, or are you just that incompetent?"
As soon as Raina North finished speaking, the reception room fell silent, and those master figures immediately hung their heads in shame.
Indeed, if this were to spread, The Veridian Institute of Medicine being brought down by an unknown pharmacist would be a disgrace in the medical field.
Claire North saw the expressions on people’s faces and inwardly felt bad, wanting to argue, but Raina North didn’t give her the chance.
"Secondly, can I ask who saw me personally hitting anyone?" Raina North deliberately emphasized the word personally and extended her fair, delicate fingers.
