CHAPTER 22: CHAPTER 22: SO ANNOYING (2)

Raina North was fuming, speeding all the way to the bar. She was really afraid that if she stayed at the Hawthorne Family, she wouldn’t be able to resist tearing Elias Hawthorne that bastard apart.

Growing up, apart from the people in the North Family, she’d never been so frustrated before.

What was even more infuriating was that, damn it, she somehow was too cowardly to even argue back.

"Mommy, calm down." Casper North carefully brought over a glass of water.

Raina North took it and drank it all at once.

"When you think about it, I raised two, he only raised one, the loss is mine, so why does he get to be so arrogant in front of me?"

"Beat him, beat him." Casper North, skilled at reading people, immediately echoed, "It was so tough carrying us in your belly for ten months, Mommy! You went through life and death to give birth to us. He sat back and did nothing, never said a word when taking my big brother, and didn’t pay a dime for the upbringing of me and the little fool.

Mommy, you should seize this chance to empty my lousy dad’s little treasury, snatch my brother away, make him lose both man and wealth, and regret it forever."

"Exactly, divorce him, let him leave with nothing. Use his money to support seventeen or eighteen young hotties, make the little brats call someone else dad, and drive him insane." Summer Jordan immediately agreed, "Men are never good for anything."

Raina North scanned over with sharp eyes.

"You little brat, don’t think I don’t know you’re just trying to manipulate your mother into squeezing money."

"Mommy, in your eyes, is your beloved Casper really such a person?" Casper North blinked his clear, bright eyes, all innocence and harmlessness.

"I thought being accurate about oneself was your only merit; it seems I was wrong." Raina North chuckled, he’s sold his own mother out for money more than once.

Casper North held his chest, "My sincere heart has been wrongly paid, my heart from the darling feels so much pain..."

"My dear little one, don’t cry, I believe in you." Summer Jordan felt bad for him.

Raina North couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Summer, don’t be fooled by this brat. He’s not just greedy, he’s a real drama queen."

Summer Jordan immediately shot an annoyed look at Raina North, "Rubbish, my dear Casper is a kind little angel, he would never lie."

Raina North’s lips twitched, "Ha ha."

"Okay, don’t take your frustration out on the kids. If you’re really feeling repressed and stifled, why not find someone to beat up to vent?" Summer Jordan suggested, tilting her head.

"Beat who?"

As they were talking, a familiar voice came from the next room...

Next room

Ever since his older brother got married, his grandmother at home had taken an increasing dislike to him. Jasper Hawthorne, suffering mentally and physically at home, could only go out to find friends to drink with for comfort.

"Second Master, I heard Lord Hawthorne got married. What kind of person is this new sister-in-law that could make Lord Hawthorne, who seemed above worldly matters, fall for her?"

"Yes, quickly tell us what kind of celestial being this First Young Mistress Hawthorne is?"

...

The sudden marriage of Hawthorne Family’s Yama had spread across the entire city overnight, stunning many.

You should know the Hawthorne Family is as rich as a nation. Elias Hawthorne took over the family’s business at the age of thirteen, creating the Hawthorne Group.

Everyone calls Elias Hawthorne Yama, but actually, he has another nickname, the God of Wealth.

So, despite Elias Hawthorne’s "notorious" reputation and a son suddenly popping up, plenty of people are still rushing forward.

As for that whole impotence claim, anyone in the real elite circles knows it was a rumor spread by rivals during the Hawthorne Family’s internal conflicts.

Although three men make a tiger—they say it so much that it becomes real—but who would’ve thought Elias Hawthorne suddenly got married?

Now that he’s married, doesn’t that rumor just break apart?
