CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 103: THE MOST ENVIABLE WOMAN (PART 1)

Don’t think she doesn’t know how much this old hag adored that bitch Raina before; now that it’s her turn, there’s endless criticism.

But it doesn’t matter; how many more years can this old hag live anyway? Once she’s dead, how can that second wife of the Hawthorne Family compare to her? By then, won’t this vast Hawthorne be her world?

Thinking of the future glory, Claire North felt a surge of pride.

Luckily, her mommy was keen and discovered the reason behind the Hawthorne Family’s proposal. Moreover, she approached Uncle Coleman to prove her identity, which allowed her to enter this Hawthorne Family.

As for Raina, although she used to be lucky, sleeping with Elias Hawthorne and giving birth to his child, so what? Who knows?

In the Hawthorne Family’s eyes, she’s Baby’s birth mother!

Raina, oh Raina, you’re destined to be my stepping stone in this life, helping me ascend to the heavens.

...

"Ah."

Old Mrs. Hawthorne couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly, "What sin has the Hawthorne Family committed to bring in such a restless one."

Aunt Rivers urged, "Madam, please take it easy; one Claire North won’t stir up any trouble. Besides, isn’t there the eldest young master? Don’t you know the capabilities of the eldest young master?"

"Hmph, it’s him that worries me. He drove my good granddaughter-in-law away. Why doesn’t he just drive out me, this old woman!" Old Mrs. Hawthorne complained, clearly still angry.

Aunt Rivers was helpless; every day the madam has to mention it several times, "Madam, don’t blame the eldest young master; he just wishes for the little young master to be with his birth mother."

"Who knows if she really is the birth mother? I don’t think that restless woman resembles my dear great-grandson in any way." Old Mrs. Hawthorne snorted, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

That’s right.

Whether Claire North is Baby’s real mother is uncertain, but Raina is Elias’s wife.

The marriage certificate has already been obtained; it’s undeniable!

Old Mrs. Hawthorne became invigorated, "Go, call Raina right now. As the granddaughter-in-law of the Hawthorne Family, why has she been staying out so often?"

Aunt Rivers originally wanted to say something but, seeing the madam so rarely happy, decided not to speak further.

...

Just after hanging up on the third call, Raina’s phone rang, and after hesitating a moment, she answered the bouncing number on the screen.

"Young Madam? It’s Aunt Rivers."

"Hello Aunt Rivers, what’s the matter? Is it Baby..." Raina couldn’t help but tense up.

Aunt Rivers promptly said, "The little young master is fine. It’s the madam; she misses you and wants you to come back and see her."

Raina felt relieved, and her expression softened, "I miss grandma too; I’ll go back and see her in a while."

She must visit the Hawthorne Family; with Claire North there, she must find out where her child is.

"That’s good, that’s good," Aunt Rivers chuckled, feeling increasingly pleased with Raina. No wonder the madam likes this girl so much; even she couldn’t help but like her.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Raina hung up the phone and headed to the bathroom.

Standing under the showerhead, warm water cascaded down, washing away her fatigue from recent days and making her expression increasingly determined.

...

Uncle Coleman took Claire North to a small building on the west side, "Miss North, please temporarily stay here. If there’s anything unsatisfactory or needed, do let me know."

They actually arranged for her to stay in a guest place!
