Chapter 381: Chapter 381: They’re Not a Cult (1)
She never expected that a few simple words from Baby Hawthorne would change Vincent Hawthorne’s mind,
With Baby Hawthorne acting as a lubricant, wouldn’t Vincent and Elias quickly reconcile? Wouldn’t all her years of effort be destroyed in an instant?
No.
This absolutely won’t do, she couldn’t just let things take their course, she had to think of a way.
As she was pondering, Baby Hawthorne suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Susan Kensington was startled, quickly pulling out a stiff smile under Baby Hawthorne’s gaze.
Baby Hawthorne shivered suddenly.
Vincent Hawthorne hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No. I’m fine, I was just scared."
Vincent Hawthorne was confused, "How did you get scared all of a sudden?"
Baby Hawthorne sighed, said with great helplessness, "Isn’t it because of my step-grandmother? Her smile at me was so terrifying, like a wolf granny ready to eat people."
Vincent Hawthorne laughed, ruffling the little one’s head, "Nonsense."
"I’m not talking nonsense." Baby Hawthorne suddenly stood up, and loudly said, "Judge Grandpa, I’ve already proven that Daddy and I are alive, the previous accusation doesn’t count now, right?"
"Since you’re both perfectly fine, it naturally doesn’t count." The judge looked at Lawyer Reed again, "Lawyer Reed, do you have anything else to say?"
Lawyer Reed glanced at Vincent Hawthorne, who was overjoyed holding Baby Hawthorne, and quickly said, "We agree with Your Honor’s decision."
"Since that’s the case, after trial, Miss Raina North is acquitted."
Acquitted.
Acquitted again.
As soon as this result came out, the courtroom exploded.
Everyone thought that today would mark the end for Raina, yet they never anticipated such an astonishing turn of events.
"No wonder Raina was so calm, apparently she secretly cured the young Hawthorne and Elias."
"She’s truly cunning, this is a slap in all our faces."
"I reckon this must have been premeditated, otherwise, how could the young Hawthorne appear so timely?"
"Even though this is an embarrassment, I still think it’s a good thing. I heard before that The Little Hawthorne Prince was in a critical condition, even Quinn Thorne didn’t dare handle it. Now that Raina has cured him, it shows her medical skills are impressive; having one more skilled doctor is a blessing."
Everyone agreed with this point.
But, Brenda Adler and Claire North couldn’t bear it, their faces were increasingly grim, gnashing their teeth at Raina.
Raina really is despicable, playing such a trick, she’s fooled everyone!
"Wait a minute!"
Just then a sharp voice sounded, Aaron Warren suddenly stood up, striding to the plaintiff’s stand.
The judge looked at Aaron Warren, "Do you have something to say?"
"I represent the Ghost Doctor’s Vale to accuse Raina of stealing the core secrets of the Ghost Doctor’s Vale!" Aaron Warren declared forcefully, "The so-called cancer-fighting drug she allegedly developed is actually the result of years of research by the Ghost Doctor’s Vale. After stealing it, she shamelessly claimed it as her own. Such a vile act deserves severe punishment! If let off lightly, won’t everyone just follow her example, who will be dedicated enough to focus on research?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but stir in discussion.
"Isn’t it true, could it be that the formula was really stolen?"
"I’ve actually heard about this, it was reported by the Ghost Doctor’s Vale. They say that day Void personally appeared at The Veridian Institute of Medicine with her apprentice Faye Shelby. This news can’t be fake."
"Raina is really outrageous, doing such a thing."
