CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 109: YOU ARE STILL MRS. HAWTHORNE (PART 1)

As Claire North watched Elias Hawthorne tormented by desire, a flash of triumphant joy appeared in her eyes, and an endless courage surged within her. If she could just get this man, bear his child, he would have to marry her. Once she bore a son of her own, she would remove that little bastard.

Once she became the rightful mistress of The Hawthorne Family, all of Southgate would bow at her feet.

With boldness, Claire North walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, her softness pressing against his arm, rubbing back and forth, her voice filled with endless seduction: "Elias, are you uncomfortable? I can help you. No matter what you do, I’m willing."

The tide of passion surged wave after wave, threatening to drown his reason. His big hand on the desk clenched tightly into a fist, and if it weren’t for this pain, he would’ve nearly succumbed.

Seeing the veins bulging on Elias’s forehead, his handsome face twisted in ferocity, Claire knew he was at the brink of his endurance.

This was her best opportunity.

She must not miss it!

Claire’s hand slid up to his chest, undoing the buttons of his shirt.

Elias couldn’t bear it anymore, lifted his foot, and kicked her hard in the lower abdomen.

"Ah!"

Claire screamed in agony, falling to the ground, unable to get up.

Elias ignored her, suddenly stood up, and staggered towards the door.

"Elias! Don’t go!"

Unwilling to give up, Claire tried to get up and grab Elias.

She believed Elias was on the verge of an outburst, and if she persisted a bit longer, success was within reach. However, the pain was too severe, and she couldn’t muster an ounce of strength, helplessly watching Elias slam the door and stride away.

...

After exchanging pleasantries with Old Mrs. Hawthorne for a while and noticing the fatigue between her brows, she decided to take her leave.

Old Mrs. Hawthorne didn’t insist on keeping her: "Baby keeps asking about you, and Casper North also particularly likes you, you should go see them."

Raina North was also very concerned about the two children, especially Baby.

She did not refuse, declined Aunt Rivers’ company, and headed upstairs. As she passed through the corridor, a figure collided into her.

Raina staggered back several steps from the impact, and when she saw the person’s face clearly, she couldn’t help but frown.

Elias Hawthorne.

What’s going on with him? Why does he seem so strange?

Upon closer inspection, Raina was instantly shocked.

Damn!

These domineering CEOs really aren’t like normal people. Otherwise, why would he take such potent drugs in broad daylight?

Could he possibly want to experience the thrill of exploding?

Not something to mess with, not something to mess with.

Raina’s first reaction was to run.

However... it was too late.

Her wrist was gripped tightly, and a massive force pulled her, causing her to crash into a hard chest. The scent of male hormones filled her senses, and her mind became blurry.

Without hesitation, Raina shoved his chest, staring at Elias with vigilance: "Um, I didn’t mean to bump into President Hawthorne just now, sorry about that. Could you please let go, Baby is waiting for me."

Raina deliberately emphasized the word "Baby," hoping this man wouldn’t lose his mind.

Unfortunately, Raina miscalculated.

Elias’s consciousness was already a blur. It took him a while, staring at her, to slowly realize who this woman was.

Raina North.

"What are you doing here? Do you think my family home is a place where you can come and go as you please? Or are you planning to take away two children from The Hawthorne Family again?"

What two children?

They were all her children.

At least Casper North certainly crawled out of her womb, right?

Suppressing her inner retort, Raina forced a fake smile and said, "Rest assured, President Hawthorne, I won’t be so impulsive. I haven’t forgotten the North Family is still in Southgate."
