CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: TEARING OFF ALL PRETENSES

As soon as Sabrina said those words, the guests were somewhat taken aback.

It seemed nobody expected her to be this disrespectful.

The Hawthorne clan frowned at the situation.

"This is too improper, Miss Sinclairs is at least an honored guest."

"Outrageous, how can you treat someone like that?"

"It’s common courtesy to not hit someone who smiles at you, is this how the future lady of The Hawthornes is supposed to act?"

"..."

Everyone was obviously very dissatisfied with Sabrina’s behavior.

Florence Scott and Jonathan Hawthorne listened with growing anger, their expressions turning colder towards Sabrina.

This embarrassing fool!!!

Sabrina, however, didn’t care at all.

If it weren’t for wanting Zara to have a good birthday, she wouldn’t bother to pretend with these people.

Jordan Hawthorne also seemed somewhat angry.

He suppressed his temper and whispered a warning, "Sabrina, so many people are watching, are you doing this on purpose? Do you want to ruin Zara’s birthday party for your satisfaction?"

Sabrina looked at him coldly, full of sarcasm, "For such a hypocritical party, it’s better not to hold it next time! You never care about Zara normally, using her to win people’s hearts and build your good dad image is quite convenient for you!"

Jordan Hawthorne’s face turned extremely ugly, his eyes shot a glare of ferocity, "Sabrina, shut up!"

Sabrina’s voice held no warmth, "Since we’re so fed up with each other, President Hawthorne, why don’t you get the divorce over with sooner, then I won’t say a word in front of you in the future."

Jordan Hawthorne was seething with anger, but in his heart, he believed that Sabrina mentioning divorce was just a tactic to make him stay.

She worked so hard to marry into The Hawthornes at first, he couldn’t believe she’d let go so easily.

"Sabrina, stop dreaming, I told you, the divorce is up to me to decide, you’re not qualified to bring it up!"

"We’ll see!"

Sabrina withdrew her combative gaze, not looking at him again.

Now that the cake was being brought out, she planned to have Zara make a wish, cut it, fulfill her expectations, and then leave.

As for gathering evidence and contacting the detective, it would be the same.

With a firm resolution, she took Zara a few steps forward.

The little one was too short to reach the four-tiered cake, so Sabrina simply picked her up.

Unexpectedly, Jordan Hawthorne suddenly strode over and stood in front of them.

Then he turned and said to the boy on the ground, "Sonny, since Zara can’t reach the cake, you help her, cut the cake!"

"Yes, Sonny, you’re taller, so you can definitely reach it."

Florence Scott also encouraged from the side.

Jonathan Hawthorne also smiled approvingly.

Sonny’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Why not?"

Ethan Hawthorne sneered from the side, "Sonny being the older brother, helping his sister, is a very normal thing."

Sabrina never imagined that Jordan Hawthorne would treat Zara like this.

Her anger erupted instantly from within her chest, ignoring the startled expression on Zara’s face in her arms, she sternly questioned, "Jordan Hawthorne, what do you mean? You’re letting someone else cut your daughter’s birthday cake???"

Jordan Hawthorne’s expression was indifferent, entirely unconcerned, "Zara can’t reach it, Sonny’s height is just right, what’s the problem?"

Upon finishing, he did not give Sabrina a chance to react, pulling Sonny over and handing the knife to him.

Sonny feigned reluctance for a few seconds, then happily cut the cake.

Although he only made two symbolic cuts, it felt like they were slashed directly into Sabrina’s heart.

She was trembling with fury.

Her Zara, was clearly so looking forward to cutting the cake.

This man, without any hesitation, just gave it away.

What place does he put Zara in???

Jordan Hawthorne didn’t even feel there was anything wrong with what he did.

Even when the staff came to help distribute the cake, he gave the first piece to Sonny, "Thank you for helping your sister cut the cake, this is your reward."

Then, the second piece was finally handed to Zara.

The man spoke plainly, "Zara, Daddy wishes you a happy birthday, hope you have a happy day every day."

Zara held her little cake, still in a daze.

She seemed yet to understand why the cake was cut by someone else, leaving her expression frozen in confusion.

But Jordan Hawthorne didn’t offer her another glance, continuing to distribute cake to his parents, even Brooke Sinclairs had a piece in hand.

Brooke Sinclairs was secretly delighted internally, but outwardly she put on a considerate expression, approaching Sabrina to say, "Sabrina, today is Zara’s birthday, which is also your day of hardship as a mother, this cake should be yours first."

How could Sabrina not perceive the hidden mockery in her eyes?

Her reason was almost instantly overwhelmed!

Bringing a mistress here was enough, yet they humiliated Zara like this!

Jordan Hawthorne, how could he!!!

How dare he!!!

"Tessa, help me hold Zara for a moment!"

Sabrina struggled to control her trembling voice, suddenly speaking.

Tessa Hughes was also infuriated.

It was as if she guessed what Sabrina was about to do, immediately taking the little one over and standing a bit away.

Sabrina, filled with resentment, glared at the man in front of her, "If you’re not sincerely celebrating Zara’s birthday, then the cake is unnecessary, no one should eat it!!!"

She took a few steps, grabbed the edge of the cake cart, and with a strong push, it toppled over the cake right then and there.

’Bang!’ a loud explosion!

The luxurious four-tiered cake, along with the cart, was violently smashed to the ground.

Being nearby, The Hawthornes, including Brooke Sinclairs and her son, were splattered everywhere with burst cream!

The guests erupted in an uproar.

They obviously didn’t expect someone would dare ruin the party for The Hawthornes, each one staring wide-eyed in shock.

The Hawthornes were even more stunned.

Florence Scott was so shocked she cursed, "Sabrina, are you crazy!!!"

Sabrina’s gaze was bloodshot.

She knew exactly how she appeared now!

Perhaps to others, she might indeed seem crazy, even like a shrew.

But she couldn’t care less!

She could endure their cold treatment toward herself, but could not accept them bullying her daughter like this!

Her eyes and brows seemed covered with a layer of frost as she gritted out, "I have indeed gone mad, but it was you who drove me mad, using Zara’s birthday as a gimmick to show off while not even letting her cut the cake, you all... are truly disgusting!!"

The Hawthornes have never been insulted like this before.

Florence Scott was furious with a livid expression, "Sabrina! You you you... are simply insolent! Look at yourself, you have none of the demeanor expected of a Hawthorne daughter-in-law! Are you intent on losing all face before you’ll be satisfied?"

Sabrina coldly met her gaze, "Face? When you don’t care about your own face, why worry about others losing it?"

This family, openly humiliating their own granddaughter while catering to outsiders, had they ever considered The Hawthorne’s reputation?

"As for being a Hawthorne daughter-in-law..."

Sabrina sneered, "I never coveted this title, whoever wants it can have it! I have already filed for divorce, and it’s already in the process, I hope The Hawthornes can be there on the day of the court hearing!"

Florence Scott’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What did this little wench say?

She has already filed for divorce???

How could this be possible?

Wasn’t she just saying that to scare them before?

Jordan Hawthorne’s face appeared very unpleasant upon hearing this, his icy brows like the edge of a blade.

He thought his attitude tonight would teach this woman a lesson.

Yet, not only did she cause a scene, she remained unrepentant???

Sabrina stared at him, her gaze full of cold determination.

Since things had reached this stage, it’s better to be completely honest!

Having humiliated Zara like this, she didn’t need to show him any respect!

The guests around were stunned, as if they had just heard some shocking gossip.

This Mrs. Hawthorne... is truly crazy, isn’t she?

She actually took the initiative to propose divorce to President Hawthorne?

This is The Hawthornes we’re talking about!

Such a large prestigious family, a height of wealth and privilege unattainable for most people in ten lifetimes, just saying no means no???

No one was more delighted than Brooke Sinclairs.

Her eyes were secretly filled with joy.

Unexpectedly, Sabrina actually announced her intention to divorce in public.

In front of so many witnesses, once these words were said, it probably couldn’t be taken back!
