CHAPTER 81: CHAPTER 81: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BITCH? (1)

On the other side of the phone, there was complete silence.

Raina North pulled her phone away in confusion, looking at the screen that still showed the call was active—her phone wasn’t broken.

"If you don’t speak, I’ll hang up."

"Raina, it’s me." Beau Shelby said these words with his brow furrowed, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure: "Don’t you remember my number?"

Raina glanced at the phone screen again and suddenly realized, this was indeed Beau Shelby’s number.

But—

"Why should I remember your number? Who are you?"

"Hey, Raina, do you really have to be like this?" Raina’s words sounded like a tantrum to Beau’s ears, he felt quite helpless: "Can’t we just talk nicely? You’re an adult now, don’t act so childish all the time, okay?"

Raina was impatient: "Did you call today just to waste my time with nonsense? If that’s the case, excuse me for not accompanying you!"

"Raina! Don’t hang up!" Beau’s voice sounded somewhat urgent: "I really have something to discuss."

"Speak." Raina watched her two sons in line, waiting to play bumper cars, her mind already disengaged.

Beau paused before saying, "Claire just called me, saying you refuse to give up the shares. Raina, I know you’re still upset, but can’t you stop being so willful? You’re hurting your closest ones, making them suffer while your enemies laugh. Is that really what you want to see?"

"Ha!" Raina couldn’t help but laugh: "Why should I give up the shares?"

"Because..."

"Because Claire North needs them, right? Beau Shelby, anything that belongs to me, as long as Claire needs it, I have to give it?"

"Of course not, Claire is buying from you..."

"Using twenty million to purchase my shares worth billions, oh you guys are something! Why don’t you reach for the sky?"

Beau furrowed his brows: "But it was originally Claire’s, she’s willing to compensate out of sisterly love; Raina, you should know when to stop."

"If it was Claire’s, why is it in my hands?"

"Wasn’t it Grandpa North..."

Beau only finished half his sentence, but Raina had already understood his meaning: "You’re just trying to say, wasn’t it me who made Grandpa happy, so he gave it to me? How about this, have Claire learn to please me, maybe when I’m happy, I’ll give her the shares. If she doesn’t want to act inferior, bring a hundred billion to buy them. With so many options, you don’t use them, insist on stealing. Why? Do you really think that because of your big face you can walk sideways?"

Beau’s expression was very unpleasant, he was particularly disappointed: "Raina, how did you become like this?"

Raina sneered, simply hung up the phone, and then without hesitation blocked the number.

Her mood was somewhat spoiled; even though she no longer cared about Beau Shelby, his shamelessness still disgusted her deeply.

On the other end, Beau dialed again only to find out he was blocked...

His face completely darkened; Claire was right, Raina had been indulged too much over the years, shaping her into this character, as her family, he absolutely couldn’t watch her continue down this road!

...

By the time Raina approached, the bumper car round had already started, she stood outside watching.

It was Baby’s first time playing bumper cars, inevitably a bit clumsy.

A chubby boy driving behind Baby laughed loudly at him: "Haha, so lame! Everyone come see this newbie."

Saying this, he suddenly sped up, ruthlessly crashing into Baby Hawthorne’s car, that wasn’t enough; he even called over his buddies to join in crashing into Baby.

Raina was furious; dare to bully her Bobby? Well, they’re asking for it. She supported herself on the railing and lightly leapt in.
