Chapter 287: Chapter 287: After All, I’m Just a Child (1)
Shea shot him a glare: "Who says it doesn’t count? His son married our mommy, so we should call him step-grandfather."
"Oh right, I almost forgot about that," Casper North shouted at the top of his lungs: "Step-grandfather! Step-grandfather! Step-grandfather!"
"Shut up! I don’t have ungrateful, ill-mannered grandchildren like you!"
As long as he’s alive, he will never acknowledge Raina North as his daughter-in-law, nor will he let these two bastards into The Hawthorne Family, disrupting its bloodline!
Never!
Absolutely not!
Casper North blinked, worry all over his little face: "Step-grandfather, you must calm down, don’t get upset to the point something happens to you, or else my step-daddy will just take over and rule The Hawthorne Family."
"Hey, Casper North, do you have no common sense? Don’t you know The Hawthorne Group is already run by our step-daddy?"
Casper North had a sudden realization: "Oh, I almost forgot." He gave Vincent Hawthorne an apologetic smile: "Sorry, step-grandfather, I forgot you’re just a figurehead. Please don’t mind me. I swear, I didn’t mean to mock you. I’m envious of you, leaning on my step-daddy to smoothly get ahead—it’s a life people can only dream of."
A wave of dizziness washed over him, and Vincent Hawthorne took several steps back, almost fainting from anger.
The servants rushed over to support Vincent Hawthorne: "Sir, are you okay?"
"Please don’t get agitated, watch out for your blood pressure!"
"Doctor! I’ll get a doctor for you right away!"
"No need!" Vincent Hawthorne gritted his teeth, trembling fingers pointing at Casper North, and said through clenched teeth: "Someone! Grab this little brat and throw him into the lotus pond to wash off that filthy mouth of his."
"Oh shit!" Casper North jumped up: "Isn’t it just a war of words? If you lose, it’s because you’re not as good, why resort to brute force? You’re an adult, can’t you be more civilized?"
Seeing Colin approaching, Casper North panicked: "Old man, be honest, are you a psycho, venting your anger on a kid like me?"
With those words, the servants around seemed to look at Vincent Hawthorne with a strange gaze.
Vincent Hawthorne’s chest heaved in rage, meeting this little wicked child was a mistake, he should have just ordered someone to deal with these two brats!
He shouted sharply: "What are you all dawdling for? Waiting for me to do it myself?"
The bodyguards, hearing Vincent Hawthorne’s yell, dared not delay any longer and moved towards Casper North.
Casper North pulled Shea backwards: "This old guy is too much, getting so many people to deal with just us two kids."
Shea glanced at Casper North: "It’s because you’re too good with words."
Casper North huffed in dissatisfaction: "Then tell me, does this old man deserve a scolding?"
"Deserves it!"
She had already heard that this old man was a scoundrel in his youth, making life tough for her idol. Now, he’s stupidly stirring up trouble, affecting Baby brother’s treatment.
"That’s more like it."
"But what do we do now? If we really get caught, it’ll be so embarrassing." Shea was especially worried about her image.
"Does your brother look like someone who’s unprepared? Here, take this." Casper North quickly stuffed a pill into Shea’s mouth.
Shea swallowed it immediately, then pulled out a handkerchief to cover her nose and quickly hid behind Casper North, ready to watch the show.
Her brother was angry and ready to deal with these scumbags.
