Chapter 390: Chapter 390: That Slap Sounds So Satisfying (2)
"Mom!" Claire North suddenly grabbed Brenda Adler’s arm, her expression filled with anxiety: "Can we really win against Raina North?"
"What about the Void? Even if she is the Void, she is still flesh and blood, living in this world!"
"But..."
Brenda Adler looked at her daughter’s pale face and frowned slightly: "Are you scared?"
Claire North bit her lower lip, indeed, she was somewhat afraid of Raina now.
If she is the Void...
No, even if she just becomes a member of the Ghost Doctor’s Vale, everyone will know. Let alone becoming the highly revered new National Master, a status that brings glory to the family,
yet Raina managed to keep it a secret and was even willing to enter The Veridian Institute of Medicine under the identity of a humble Pharmacist, enduring everyone’s ridicule.
Thinking about such resolve makes one’s hair stand on end.
Brenda Adler glanced sideways at her daughter, her eyes cold: "So, are you telling me that you’ll stay beneath others, allowing Raina North to suppress you all your life?"
"No! I don’t want that!" Claire North refuted without hesitation.
In this life, she could lose to anyone, but she could never lose to Raina North.
Claire North made up her mind: "Mom, I’ll follow your arrangement."
Brenda Adler’s expression softened: "That’s my good daughter." She embraced her daughter and gently stroked her head: "Don’t worry, as long as you obey, Mommy will make you the most respected woman in Southgate. My daughter has been destined for greatness since birth."
Claire North obediently responded, yet there was still an unease in her heart.
...
After exchanging pleasantries with Master Foster, Raina North stood up and looked at the judge: "Everything is clear at this point, so I don’t think I need to say or prove anything further."
The judge said: "Naturally, since the prescription belongs to the Ghost Doctor’s Vale and you personally developed it, how to use it is your choice."
"That’s good." Raina North nodded, glancing at the plaintiff’s seat: "For those pretending to be from the Ghost Doctor’s Vale and slandering my reputation, I will pursue them to the end."
The judge said: "Of course, that is Miss Raina’s right."
Raina North said: "Maybe another day, today’s events have already been enough, though I’ve caused the court quite a bit of trouble, and I apologize for that."
The judge, seeing Raina bow her head in apology, eased his demeanor a bit, nodded at her, and left the court with the others.
As the judge and the court staff had just left, those lucky enough to attend the hearing couldn’t hold back and gathered around Raina.
They bombarded her with all kinds of questions.
Raina furrowed her brows slightly and swept her gaze over everyone, her authority pouring forth: "Quiet."
The crowd immediately quieted down, each person eagerly waiting for an explanation from Raina.
Raina smiled helplessly: "Everyone, things have turned out this way unintentionally. If it weren’t for the malicious intentions of some targeting those around me and involving innocent people, my identity would not have been revealed. But, given the circumstances, I hope everyone can view this matter calmly and rationally." After pausing for a moment, Raina couldn’t help but make a joke: "In fact, this is good, at least it proves that I’m not some poisonous woman or a modern-day Lady of Notoriety."
Everyone: "..."
For heaven’s sake, it was indeed hard to laugh at this.
Before they had seen Raina swaggering about and thought she was relying on Elias Hawthorne’s power, little did they know she was hiding so much under the surface.
