Chapter 273: Chapter 273: It’s Time the Revenge Was Taken on Me (1)
"I actually wanted Baby to pull my hair." Thinking of the adorable little grandson, Vincent sighed, filled with melancholy and sadness, "Alright, then you go and send Claire away. At least it’ll preserve her dignity."
Mrs. Hawthorne didn’t refuse, stood up, and left the living room.
Vincent felt even more agitated and called a servant to bring him a bottle of red wine. He had just taken a sip when he heard footsteps approaching from outside.
"Sent her away so quickly?" As the words fell, Vincent turned to look, only to see Mrs. Hawthorne leading Claire in.
Vincent’s expression darkened immediately, and there was displeasure in his gaze towards his wife.
Mrs. Hawthorne didn’t mind her husband’s cold demeanor. "Vincent, take a look at this."
Seeing Mrs. Hawthorne’s serious expression, Vincent also became more attentive, "What is it?"
Mrs. Hawthorne handed the iPad in her hand to Vincent and then pressed the play button.
The video showed three children playing together, namely Shea, Casper North, and Baby Hawthorne.
Vincent looked puzzled, "What does this mean?"
"Vincent, look more carefully," Mrs. Hawthorne said, replaying the video.
Vincent was initially confused, but he quickly stood up abruptly, his face full of shock, "This is... this is..."
"That’s right, it’s exactly as you thought. To be honest, I was also very surprised when Claire showed me earlier."
As Mrs. Hawthorne spoke, the video replayed again, showing Shea handing a bowl of something to Baby Hawthorne.
After Baby Hawthorne ate it, he soon vomited blood.
Claire suddenly started to cry, choking with sobs, "It’s my fault, all my fault. If it weren’t for the revenge against me, my sister wouldn’t have used her daughter to poison Baby. But Uncle, even if I have thousands of faults, the revenge should come upon me, not use Baby. Baby is still just a child. How could my sister be so heartless!"
Mrs. Hawthorne said, "Since Raina planned all this, she must be ruthless. Saying more now won’t help. The most important thing now is to quickly rescue Baby. If Baby remains with Raina, I’m afraid it will really be bad."
"Aunt is right. The most urgent thing now is to save Baby, but the only one I can rely on is Uncle. Uncle, I’m begging you." She said as she was about to kneel to Vincent.
"Claire!" Mrs. Hawthorne quickly supported her, "What are you doing? Baby is the rightful first grandson of The Hawthorne Family. Your uncle cares deeply; you don’t need to beg."
Vincent also said, "I will take care of Baby."
"Yes, yes." Claire nodded with tearful eyes and looked earnestly at Vincent, "Then now..."
"I’ll immediately send someone to investigate where Raina is!"
Claire quickly said, "No need, I know where Raina is."
Vincent was a bit surprised, "I didn’t expect you to be so prepared."
"It’s only right," Claire was determined to lead Vincent to find Raina, not noticing that Vincent’s gaze had already grown somewhat suspicious.
But, Mrs. Hawthorne, who had always been observing Vincent, noticed this.
Watching their retreating figures, Mrs. Hawthorne smiled slightly, showing a somewhat relieved smile.
...
The car slowly came to a stop.
Vincent looked out the car window and asked, "You mean, Raina has Baby here?"
"Yes," Claire said, bowing her head, "This is the medical room Elias specifically set up for my sister. I also heard that Elias bought the whole row of storefronts and registered them under my sister’s name to meet her work needs."
