Chapter 260: Chapter 260: All Because of Raina North! (2)
Claire North forced herself to suppress her impatience: "Could you not do this?"
"Claire..."
Claire North didn’t want to listen any longer. She interrupted Beau Shelby: "Beau, you should know that just the two of us is something that can never happen. You can move out from your home for me, and you can visit home less for me. But can you, for me, stop associating with all your relatives, friends, and colleagues?
No, you can’t. Since you can’t, everything you’ve decided to do is meaningless. As soon as you step outside, you will have to face their possible whispers and ridicule behind your back, even vilifying words.
Then, our relationship will slowly be worn down to nothing within those whispers. Beau, I can’t accept that kind of outcome. Rather than that, I’d prefer to part ways while things are still beautiful between us. So..."
Claire North emphasized, saying, "Let’s just leave it at that, let’s leave it at that."
After saying this, Claire North turned away without hesitation.
Beau Shelby stared at Claire North’s departing figure and couldn’t help but mutter to himself: "Is it really just that? Claire, did you really decide to break up with me because of that night, because of those rumors? But why..."
Why did he feel it wasn’t just that?
There was also the fragment he overheard at the living room door—[Raina North could marry into the family because Old Mrs. Hawthorne wanted to bring back a biological mother for Baby Hawthorne, didn’t she?]
Was Raina North marrying into the Hawthorne Family because of this?
But why did Mrs. Adler bring this up all of a sudden?
Ah, it must be out of concern for Claire.
Mrs. Adler was such a strong-willed person, seeing Raina North, whom she disliked, marry so well, must have made her uncomfortable, especially since Claire encountered this situation.
And Claire faced this because of Raina!
Anger surged in Beau Shelby’s heart.
Raina North!
Raina North had gone too far this time!
...
After returning to the Hawthorne Family, the servants quickly served freshly squeezed chilled juice and freshly baked snacks to Claire North.
Claire North took a sip, relaxing her tense brows.
Ever since Vincent Hawthorne backed her and Mrs. Hawthorne supported her multiple times, the Hawthorne Family’s servants treated her much more politely. Otherwise, in the past, if she didn’t give orders, how could she be this comfortable?
Indeed, power is the sweetest fruit in this world.
Having tasted this beautiful flavor and now being part of it, she would never let it slip away!
Claire North called over a servant: "Has Elias returned?"
The servant replied, "The eldest young master has gone to the medical room area."
"Arrange a golf cart for me, I’ll go over there once I’ve changed clothes."
Claire North hurriedly took a golf cart to go over.
But she was still a step too late; Elias Hawthorne had already left.
Claire North was quite disappointed: "Then I’ll go see Baby."
Saying this, she stepped towards the hospital room, but before she could reach the doorway, she was stopped.
Brolin said, "Miss North, the eldest young master ordered that no one is allowed to approach the young master without his permission."
Claire North pointed at herself: "Look closely, I am the birth mother of your young master."
Brolin maintained a blank expression: "The eldest young master said no one."
"You!" Claire North was furious and, finding no way to talk through it, could only stomp her foot and leave in anger.
She wasn’t going to back down.
Now, having refused marriage with Beau Shelby, she was left with the Hawthorne Family. If she didn’t seize it, she’d end up with nothing on both sides.
No! Absolutely not!
