Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Henpecked Husband (Part 1)
Claire North cried until her tears flowed like a river, sobbing uncontrollably: "Actually, I know, my sister has always disliked me. I’ve really tried hard to win her over, but she still won’t let me go. I truly don’t know what I have to do to make her satisfied. Does she really need to see me ruined to feel happy?"
"She dares!" Aaron Warren was fuming: "If she dares to treat you like that, I won’t let her off!"
Claire North shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Chief Warren, don’t be like this. My sister has no grudge against you, there’s no need to offend her, it’s not good for you. I called you because I simply couldn’t stand it anymore. Besides, it seems like my sister has someone backing her up."
"Does having support mean she can do whatever she wants? Dream on! Claire, don’t worry about this. I absolutely won’t let her continue being so arrogant!"
Claire North seemed ’utterly alarmed’: "Chief Warren, don’t act recklessly! We can’t afford to provoke my sister!"
"Don’t bother with this matter." With that, Aaron Warren hung up the phone.
The anxiety on Claire North’s face gradually faded, replaced by a look of calculation.
Raina North, oh Raina North, this time I will definitely crush you, leaving you no chance to bounce back. Then let’s see just how cocky you can be in front of me!
...
"Boss, are you really going to just stand by and watch?" Quinn Thorne frowned: "If you don’t step in, those rumor-mongering media won’t be contained by your wife alone."
The media is already hard to deal with, not to mention international media; unless Elias Hawthorne steps in, this matter won’t be suppressed at all.
Elias Hawthorne didn’t even look up, and said flatly: "Why suppress them?"
"Uh..." Quinn Thorne pointed at the photo on his phone screen: "Isn’t she not only your sister-in-law but also Baby’s biological mother?"
When you think about it, she’s family after all. Leaving her unattended, isn’t that a bit too much?
"Whether she’s a sister-in-law is up to Raina North. As for being the biological mother... After selling Baby for five million, she no longer counts as Baby’s mother."
Quinn Thorne sighed upon hearing this: "That’s true, but the problem is the news reporters won’t care about this. Besides, even if Claire North isn’t anything significant, she undoubtedly has an unbreakable link with Baby. Once their relationship is exposed in the future, what will you tell Baby? Won’t he resents you for not helping his biological mom?"
"You’re overthinking it." Elias Hawthorne set aside the amended documents, pushed his chair back, and stood up, saying lightly, "The video itself was sent to me personally by Baby."
"What the...!" Quinn Thorne exclaimed: "How unbearable must Claire North be for our Baby to commit such an act of righteous betrayal?"
Elias Hawthorne smiled coldly: "Do you know why there was such a drama at The North Family yesterday?"
"Uh..." Quinn Thorne stroked his chin, thinking: "With my clever mind, it must be Claire North trying to set someone up, but instead getting bitten back. The one she wanted to frame was your wife, right?"
"Last night, Claire North drugged Raina North and arranged to meet Beau Shelby."
"Beau Shelby? Isn’t he your wife’s first love, Claire North’s fiancé? If, in front of all those guests, your wife cozied up with Beau Shelby, she’d be completely ruined! What’s more, you’d be utterly disgusted with this wife who meddles with her first love behind your back... Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder people say that the most vicious hearts are those of women. Claire North really is ruthless."
