Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Enough to Blow Up a Mountain (Part 2)
The smiles on the reporters’ faces froze.
Claire North couldn’t help but speak, "Raina, you can’t do this. Everyone was just a bit upset and said a few harsh words. Are you really going to take them to court for that? Isn’t that too aggressive?"
"Exactly! Raina, one should be forgiving whenever possible!"
"Raina is really far from being as gentle and generous as Claire North!"
"First Young Master Hawthorne must have been blind to marry Raina."
"What do you mean he married Raina? She obviously impersonated Claire to get married into the Hawthorne Family."
Hearing the reporters unanimously siding with Claire North, Raina smiled slightly, "It seems I only said that I want to file a lawsuit. I didn’t say against whom. Claire North, why are you jumping out so impatiently? Is it that in your mind, these people are heinous criminals who should be taken to court for judgment?"
The reporters’ gazes towards Claire North suddenly became subtle.
Claire North hurriedly explained, "You’re talking nonsense! You’re wrongly accusing me again! Raina, what on earth have I done to offend you that makes you cause such discord?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red with grievances.
"Of course not. The deep bond you share with the reporters is like an ocean, nothing I could disrupt."
Raina’s lips curved with a trace of a malicious smile, "It’s good that you have such a strong relationship. I’m sure the photos they just took will only be appreciated privately and won’t be published for all to see."
The smile on Claire North’s face froze involuntarily.
The reporters instinctively clutched their cameras.
Last time, constrained by Elias Hawthorne, they had to hand over their exciting footage, and could only watch foreign reporters publish them and gain both fame and fortune.
This time, although not as great as the last, even a little is something.
Besides, although the North Family doesn’t count for much among the elite, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still a high-status family.
With that said, Raina didn’t linger longer, waving her hand as she called out, "Let’s go, let’s not waste too much time. I’m eager to get back."
She said this, then opened the police car door and sat inside.
The policeman: "..."
Feeling like he’s one of the henchmen.
Alright, a henchman it is, as long as they quickly take this lady away.
Raina was taken away, a scene originally meant to be gratifying, that couldn’t lift their spirits.
Claire North worried about the photos in the reporters’ cameras.
The reporters were concerned about the upcoming subpoenas.
Even though it’s said that receiving some subpoenas is just part of being a reporter, this is a Hawthorne Family subpoena. Can it be as gentle and mild as before?
...
In the police car.
A policeman sat next to Raina, "Mrs. Hawthorne, what’s the matter with the cancer medication?"
Raina glanced at the policeman, "Isn’t it inappropriate for you to ask like that? Technically, you should take me to the interrogation room for a formal inquiry."
"Mrs. Hawthorne, you’re overthinking. We stepped in earlier to take you away merely to prevent public opinion from further escalating, and not for any other reason."
Raina raised an eyebrow, "So you mean to say you believe the cancer patients who died from taking the medication have nothing to do with me?"
The policeman smiled and said, "Having been a policeman for so many years, I trust my insight into people. You’re not someone who would prioritize profit over people’s lives."
