She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 1036: What Will We Do When We’re Old?

Raina saw that Old Mrs. Hawthorne was still staring at her, so she could only admit, "Your keen eyes see through everything, nothing can be hidden from you."

"Still not being honest?"

This time, Raina did not refuse. She used tactful language to give a brief account of the situation.

Old Mrs. Hawthorne’s face turned livid as she heavily slapped the sofa armrest, angrily saying, "Outrageous! Susan Kensington is simply too much! Does she think Southgate is already her domain, where she can do as she pleases?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Raina remained silent, only sighing inwardly. Indeed, Susan Kensington was bold and presumptuous, but her original identity wouldn’t provide her with such confidence. Her guts and courage now are all given by Vincent Hawthorne.

And, Vincent Hawthorne has already been expelled from The Hawthorne Family. Though he doesn’t seem to be in dire straits, he still lives arrogantly, all due to the support of Old Mrs. Hawthorne and the late Old Master Hawthorne behind the scenes.

Although Raina said nothing, the old lady understood what she meant and couldn’t help but sigh, "In this matter, the old man and I were indeed wrong."

She had struggled to give birth to Vincent. After the son was born, she inevitably spoiled him. Whatever he wanted, even if he glanced at it, she would eagerly present it to him.

A child who is overly favored tends to be willful, and by the time she and the old man realized the son’s problem, it was too late.

The son’s marriage to Autumn had already turned into a tragedy. They decisively expelled the son from the family, hoping both sides would remain peaceful. However, in the end, feeling sorry for this only son, no matter how harsh the words, she couldn’t completely harden her heart and wash her hands of him.

"Grandma and Grandpa were indeed wrong." Raina didn’t evade the issue. She looked at Old Mrs. Hawthorne and said softly, "But I understand your deep maternal love. Please also understand my concern for Elias, okay?"

Old Mrs. Hawthorne looked at Raina for a while before nodding, "Alright. Your father-in-law really needs to learn a lesson now. Being so old and still fooling around—what will he do when he’s even older?"

Speaking on this, Old Mrs. Hawthorne suddenly felt a sense of urgency in her heart—after all, she would inevitably precede her son in leaving this world.

While she is around, she can still look after things to some extent, but who will her son rely on once she’s gone?

Raina understood the meaning behind Old Mrs. Hawthorne’s words but didn’t say much. No matter what, Vincent Hawthorne is Elias and Jasper’s father. As a daughter-in-law, she isn’t in a position to comment further.

Old Mrs. Hawthorne added, "Vincent may be a scoundrel, but Felix is a good child. Raina, what do you think..."

Raina snapped back to reality, smiling as she said, "Felix is indeed a good child, and he will always be fine."

Hearing Raina’s words, the heavy stone in Old Mrs. Hawthorne’s heart instantly fell away.

She smiled and turned to talk with Raina about other matters, with Raina cooperating fully. Between their chatting and laughter, the atmosphere in the living room became warm and joyful. Yet, in The Hawthorne Group’s largest conference room, it was somber, tense, and heavy, making even breathing immensely difficult.

The shareholders stared at the stock data in front of them, their expressions as ugly as if they’d lost their parents.

In fact, losing a parent might not even make them feel this heavy.

Although The Hawthorne Group quickly dismissed Vincent Hawthorne from the CEO position, this did not cause stocks to rise, not in the slightest.

Initially, they were mentally prepared for this, which is why they gathered to discuss how The Hawthorne Group could overcome this crisis.

Before they could come up with a solution, the security guard suddenly delivered a package.
