She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 1039: The Sound of Face Slapping, Loud and Clear

Hearing Quinn Thorne’s teasing words, the board members awkwardly forced a smile and quickly said, "We just came to visit, visit Old Mrs. Hawthorne."

"Oh. So you came to visit Old Mrs. Hawthorne, alright then, you can chat with Grandma Hawthorne. My brother and I will go upstairs to rest, make yourselves at home."

Quinn looked at Elias Hawthorne, "Boss, let’s head upstairs." He then cleverly added, "Sister-in-law, you should come up too."

"Sure." Raina North immediately stood up.

"Wait, wait."

The board members didn’t expect this routine greeting to end like this, and quickly called them back.

They couldn’t maintain their facade any longer and tactfully explained the situation, expressing their strong desire for Elias Hawthorne to quickly take on the CEO duties, preferably to start work immediately if there’s nothing else.

Of course, Elias Hawthorne wouldn’t agree. He casually glanced over the eager faces of the board members and said, "I understand the feelings of the board members, but since you all think I need a break, I might as well go with the flow and not disappoint your good intentions. Don’t you think?"

Of course, they didn’t think so.

They all joined forces, taking turns to persuade Elias Hawthorne to understand their alternative good intentions.

However, no matter how much they talked, Elias Hawthorne remained unmoved.

The board members weren’t ready to give up and turned to Old Mrs. Hawthorne.

Old Mrs. Hawthorne sighed leisurely, "I appreciate your good intentions on Elias’s behalf, and thank you all for your high regard. There are some things I’ve wanted to say for a long time. In a family like ours, with wealth accumulated over generations, even if the descendants are incompetent, it would take a hundred or eighty years to squander it away.

I often advise Elias not to work so hard, but to spend time with his wife and have a few kids, wouldn’t that be nice?

But this child has strong opinions, never listens to this old lady, and now it’s good, he’s thought it through himself and wants to take a break. This old lady is extremely happy. Speaking of this, we should really thank the board members.

If you hadn’t joined forces to push him out, Elias would never take a break. So, in that sense, we really should thank you all."

The board members were utterly speechless, choked by these words, unable to utter a single word.

With no choice, they left with deep disappointment.

Quinn watched their backs and couldn’t help but sneer, "These old geezers, thinking they can just say a few nice words and wrap it up after what they’ve done? Let’s see who’s more anxious now."

His boss has plenty of money in his accounts, strong capital, not afraid of The Hawthorne Group’s stock plummeting. On the contrary, he can take this time to buy the dip. The question is whether the other shareholders have such courage. I hope they do.

Otherwise, it’s not their problem either. Everyone should just fend for themselves.

"What happened to your face?" Elias Hawthorne noticed Raina North constantly touching her face and couldn’t help but ask.

"I’m checking if my face is swollen," Raina held her face, bringing it close to Elias, "Come on, take a look, is it swollen?"

Elias scrutinized Raina closely.

Raina’s face was petite, with delicate features and skin as white as jade. When she held her face up to him, Elias felt struck by her beauty.

His eyes immediately darkened, and his voice became hoarse, "No. It’s very white and tender, very beautiful."

Raina snorted coldly, "Liar, I won’t be fooled. I heard the sound of slapping just now, it was very loud and clear."
