CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: IF THEY MISUNDERSTAND, SO BE IT

Her expression showed no sign of joking!

Florence Scott couldn’t help but feel incredulous.

To even mention leaving with nothing... Is this really Sabrina Hayes?

No, she still didn’t believe it.

Back then, didn’t this woman climb into my son’s bed for money, using the pretext of convenient treatment?

What is she pretending to be so carefree for now?

Moreover, with the power and legacy of The Hawthorne Family, anyone would find it hard to resist temptation.

After all, with a divorce, even a little bit from Jordan’s fingers could keep her well-off for life.

Florence Scott sneered instantly, "Sabrina Hayes, stop pretending to be so noble in front of me. Don’t I know what kind of person you are? A clean break? If you really manage that, I might reluctantly respect you a bit, but I’m afraid you won’t dare, just trying to play tricks! You want to corner me into a trap? Don’t even think about it!"

After saying this, Florence Scott didn’t linger, she grabbed her bag and left directly.

Sabrina Hayes found it extremely dull and felt exhausted.

These days, no one believes the truth!

She thought she could rely on Florence Scott, but in the end, she’s unreliable too!

It seems like she still has to rely on herself to take action.

Sabrina Hayes pondered and couldn’t help but start considering other ways to get divorced.

She could leave without a penny, but Zara, she had to take her no matter what!

By evening, she had roughly thought of a feasible plan...

When Jordan came back from work, Sabrina Hayes was having dinner with Zara.

Since the unpleasant incident that night, they hadn’t spoken!

Now, Sabrina naturally didn’t intend to pay any attention.

Unexpectedly, Jordan pulled out the chair across from her, sat down, and then spoke, "Did you insult my mom today?"

Sabrina Hayes froze for a moment, looking up at him.

The man frowned, his cold, handsome face full of questioning.

Sabrina chortled and replied, "Which part are you referring to? Was it when she came specifically to scold me for taking The Hawthorne Family business, demanded I behave, showed some respect to Brooke, and casually asked me to hand over the project to Brooke, and I just called her a ’whore who wants to put up a memorial’ as an insult? Then I did say that!"

Jordan’s brows sunk deeply, speaking coldly, "You even have the face to admit it? My mom is your elder, how could you humiliate her like this?"

Sabrina’s eyes were very cold, finding it downright laughable what he focused on.

Why was she so blind to see him before?

All of a sudden, she lost all appetite, too lazy to explain, leaving with just one sentence, "Humiliate? President Hawthorne, you’re exaggerating. At most, I just spoke the truth! Compared to humiliating, who can beat your Hawthorne Family..."

Since grandma passed away, all of them had been trampling on her.

Had he ever said a single thing?

Now, she simply said one truth, and he was visibly upset!

The double standard is too obvious!

Too lazy to argue with him, Sabrina soon put down her bowl and chopsticks, and took Zara upstairs.

Jordan sat coldly at the dining table!

...

The next day, just as Sabrina took Zara downstairs for breakfast, she ran into Jordan heading out.

The man was dressed more formally than usual, in a high-end tailored black suit with a tie, radiating a powerful aura, looking exceptionally dignified, as if he was going to attend an important occasion!

The maid next to him handed the bag and asked, "Young Master, aren’t you staying to finish breakfast before you go?"

Jordan answered lightly, "No need, I’ll eat out."

As he spoke, he glanced at the mother and daughter coming downstairs, gave them a faint look, then took his gaze back and left.

Sabrina couldn’t care less, continued eating with Zara.

After finishing, she took the prepared paperwork from last night and went to school to handle Zara’s enrollment.

Dylan Quinlan still attended to her throughout.

Once completed, she took Zara around the school, helping the young one to mentally prepare better!

Meanwhile, in another elite kindergarten.

Jordan accompanied Brooke and her son for enrollment procedures.

The teacher in charge welcomed them with utmost respect, "President Hawthorne, Mrs. Hawthorne, please rest assured, here at the kindergarten we will look after Master Sonny well. If there’s any situation, we will inform you promptly to ensure he stays comfortable."

Brooke’s cheeks reddened slightly at hearing ’Mrs. Hawthorne,’ but she didn’t intend to clarify.

Jordan also didn’t correct it, even politely and courteously said, "Please do take good care of him, teacher."

"Certainly."

The teacher smilingly responded, not forgetting to praise, "Sonny is such an obedient child; surely, he’ll get along with other kids well!"

Jordan nodded, raising his hand to gently rub Sonny’s head.

A simple gesture could reveal his affection for Sonny.

Sonny smiled adorably.

The teacher noticing this, dared not slack, even personally seeing the ’family of three’ out of the school gate after the procedures.

In the car, Sonny immediately said to Jordan, "I’m so happy today because Uncle came with me to sign up, just like a dad, and the other kids couldn’t help but stare, probably thinking my dad is super handsome! I wish this were true!"

Brooke feigned a playful chastise, "You child, don’t talk nonsense!"

Then she turned to Jordan, speaking with a voice as gentle as water, "Jordan, children speak innocently, don’t take it to heart, also thank you for accompanying us today."

Jordan nonchalantly said, "It’s alright! I just didn’t want anyone looking down on Sonny; so let them misunderstand if they do."

Brooke’s eyes were full of emotion, "Jordan, you’re so nice! Since coming back, you’ve been helping us, though I’ve messed up the company’s project... I’ve really let you down."

Jordan shook his head, comforting her, "Don’t worry about it, and it’s not your fault, I know you tried your best! Since the project didn’t go through, just focus on new ventures. Medicine is a future trend, the research lab is being prepared, and there’ll be lots to do soon."

"Yes."

Brooke nodded earnestly, "I’ve been preparing to recruit research talent; once the lab is ready, we’ll push things forward immediately."

"Thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, Jordan checked his watch, "I’ll take you home first, then I need to meet a client later."

"Alright."

Brooke had no objections.

...

Sabrina wasn’t aware of any of this.

In the morning, once familiarizing the school was done, she took Zara to buy school necessities.

Upon returning home, she was met with a pleasant surprise.

A pair of elegant middle-aged couples, carrying large and small bags, were standing at her doorstep waiting for her.

Sabrina’s eyes lit up, she quickly shouted, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

The middle-aged couple immediately turned upon hearing her voice, faces breaking into warm smiles, "Of course we’re here to see you and Zara. Where did you go? Why are you only back now?"

After speaking, her mother Galina Young stepped forward to welcome her.

Sabrina felt happy seeing her parents, but inexplicably a bit of heartache.

Probably having faced too much coldness from The Hawthorne Family, her parents’ gentle gaze felt like a warm sun dispelling the chill.

She almost couldn’t find words to speak.
