Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Does She Play Like This in Private Too? (Part 1)
"Madam, please calm down!" The North Family’s butler quickly helped her up and hastily whispered in her ear, "If you lose your composure, Miss will be utterly ruined. You must do everything in your power to protect her now!"
"Right, I must protect my daughter. She surely needs me right now." Brenda Adler quickly regained her composure and, seeing other servants standing dumbfounded, immediately scolded, "What are you all standing around for? Quickly turn off the projector!"
The staff snapped out of their daze and quickly tried to operate it, but it was useless. With sweat pouring down their foreheads, they said, "We can’t...can’t turn it off!"
Brenda’s legs went weak again, and with the butler’s support, she stood up, saying hatefully, "If it can’t be turned off, then smash it!"
"This projector is worth over a million..."
"Smash it! Smash it for me!"
With that, she took the lead in pushing the projector over.
The projector, true to its high cost, continued working even after falling to the ground.
At this moment, a gasp was heard from the crowd, "Look, Second Miss North is making the first move! And that beggar... Wow! This is explosive!"
"Damn, I didn’t expect Second Miss North to be so wild. Even if she’s desperate, can’t she play in private? Why does she have to do this in public?"
"I heard that Second Miss North is engaged, no? Why is she still so desperate? Could it be that her fiancé isn’t up to par? Or does she just like this kind of thrill?"
Mrs. Hawthorne was also stunned.
Even though she had seen a lot, she hadn’t anticipated witnessing such a shocking scene.
After she processed it, Mrs. Hawthorne knew the tool she had chosen was finished.
With such a scandal, Claire North was absolutely no match for Raina, but soon, Mrs. Hawthorne had a new idea.
Seeing Gideon North standing there like an idiot, she immediately said, "President North, what’s going on here? A birthday banquet has turned into this mess. Are you trying to embarrass The Hawthorne Family?"
Gideon’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "Mother-in-law, this...we’re innocent. I wouldn’t do this even if I were crazy! Someone must be framing my daughter!"
"I know, right? I’ve met Claire, she’s a good child. But what’s important now is to stop this immediately. If it continues like this, things will become disastrous!"
Gideon woke up from his daze and, seeing his wife still smashing the camera, immediately pulled her, "Hurry and save Claire! Do you want me, as a father, to go into my daughter’s room?"
"No, no, I’ll go, I’ll go." Brenda mumbled, then rushed towards the backyard like a madwoman.
Gideon felt slightly relieved and said to the media, "Everyone..."
But before he could finish his sentence, the reporters had already surged past him, rushing toward the backyard.
"When Second Miss North comes out, we must properly interview her and ask if she usually plays around like this in private?"
"I’m more curious as to why Second Miss North did something so disgraceful at her grandfather’s banquet. Is she trying to anger the old man to death to inherit the shares?"
"I heard Old Master North has already given the shares to his eldest granddaughter."
"If I were Old Master North, I’d make the same choice. Otherwise, I’m afraid Northwind Pharmaceuticals would be ruined before I closed my eyes!"
"..."
Gideon was chilled to the bone, looking at Elias Hawthorne standing to the side, he pleaded, "Elias, you must stop this. If it continues, my daughter will be ruined."
"Alright." Elias Hawthorne nodded to indicate he understood.
"So..."
"Don’t worry, Father-in-law," Elias said calmly, "The Hawthorne Group’s PR department is more than capable; this matter will absolutely not damage Raina’s reputation."
