Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Not Worthy to Step Foot in the Hawthorne Family’s House (1)
Seeing Elias Hawthorne’s indifference, Claire North couldn’t help but feel deeply resentful: "Can’t I come to see you even if I have nothing going on?"
Elias Hawthorne’s brow furrowed: "Since Miss North is fine, then suit yourself!"
After saying this, he left without hesitation.
"Elias!" Claire North hurriedly walked over, blocking Elias Hawthorne’s path. Seeing his chilling and repulsive gaze, her heart ached.
She took a deep breath: "I came today to talk to you about Baby. I want to take him back to the North Family for a while; he’s grown up without spending time with his biological mother and grandparents."
"No."
"I know you have a misunderstanding about me, but no matter what, I’m Baby’s biological mother. You have no reason to have Baby always follow his sister and ignore me, his birth mother. There’s no such logic in the world."
Elias Hawthorne laughed upon hearing Claire North’s grievance: "Reason with me? Have you forgotten that Baby was sold to the Hawthorne Family for five million?"
Claire North didn’t defend herself, and her eyes immediately reddened: "I know it was my fault in the past, but Baby is my child. If he’s only to recognize his sister and not me, people will inevitably say Baby is disrespectful. He’s our son; we cannot let him have such an unfilial reputation."
"Unfilial?" Elias Hawthorne coldly laughed: "Firstly, Baby has never been unfilial, and even if he were, shouldn’t you, as his birth mother, cover for him? You’re so flagrantly saying this—what are you trying to do? Ruin Baby?"
Claire North was shocked: "No! I absolutely didn’t mean that! I carried him for ten months, how could I bear to ruin him! I... I just want Baby to recognize me as his mother!"
"Baby doesn’t recognize you as his birth mother, instead staying by Raina North as his proper mother—is that someone else’s fault? Claire North, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?"
Claire North was utterly devastated, never imagining Elias Hawthorne could say such a thing.
"I admit it’s my fault, I really want to make amends, truly. Elias, you can’t so cruelly sever the mother-son bond between Baby and me, you can’t do this!"
Elias Hawthorne looked at her coldly, his thin lips parting: "Claire North, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I can clearly tell you, stop dreaming; even without Raina, I’d never spare you a glance. A woman like you doesn’t deserve to enter the doors of the Hawthorne Family!"
Claire North stepped back repeatedly, shaking her head desperately, nearly collapsing from Elias Hawthorne’s words.
"Claire North, let me give you a final reminder: stay in your place, or don’t blame me if I make you and the North Family disappear from Southgate."
After saying this, Elias Hawthorne did not spare Claire North another look and turned away.
Claire North stayed behind, watching Elias Hawthorne’s cold and unfeeling figure, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
No matter how pitifully she cried, not even a servant came to offer comfort.
Claire North was so angry she nearly bit down hard on her teeth of silver, her heart filled with resentment ready to spill out.
A lowly bunch looking down on others!
Such days won’t last long!
Soon, she’ll make everyone see her differently!
A venomous glint quickly flashed in her eyes.
...
Airport.
Raina North stood in front of the car, gazing towards the exit.
Soon, a slender figure emerged, wearing a wine-red dress, her big wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, pulling a small suitcase. Her alluring beauty caught the eyes of many passersby.
