CHAPTER 113: CHAPTER 113: WHERE’S YOUR CONSCIENCE? (1)

"Of course, we’re packing up and getting ready to skedaddle."

Baby Hawthorne blinked his eyes, "Why do we need to skedaddle?"

"Big bro, we’re plotting against our wise and mighty dad and our ruthless mom. Any minute now, any minute she’ll come knocking, and then we’ll just have to clean our necks and wait for the axe. So, hurry up and pack.

Take your valuables, and let’s go have some fun outside. When we come back, mom and dad’s anger will surely have subsided by then. To be honest, every time I get mom riled up, that’s how I dodge the bullet. Adults, you see, they’re often really easy to fool."

This was wisdom he had gathered over the years.

"Really?" A chilling voice suddenly rang out.

"Yeah," Casper North nodded furiously, and then, halfway through, sensed something wasn’t quite right.

Casper turned his head slowly, only to see his sister Raina leaning casually against the door with her arms crossed.

She smiled with her lips, but her eyes were practically shooting daggers.

Casper was so frightened that his knees gave way, and he fell to the floor with a thud, "Mom, I was wrong!"

Raina North sauntered in, "Casper, what are you kneeling there for? What did you do wrong?"

Raina’s voice was gentle, but the gentler it was, the more it made Casper’s heart quiver, "Mom, I really was wrong. Let’s talk it out nicely, okay?"

"Hah!" Raina let out a cold laugh, turned around, and sat down on a sofa.

Casper’s little heart trembled even more; whenever his sister pulled this big move, she was really terrifying.

Seeing Baby Hawthorne standing there nonchalantly, Casper couldn’t help but bump into him, and through gritted teeth said, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier that mom was here!"

If he had known earlier that mom was here, he wouldn’t have said so much nonsense!

Baby Hawthorne looked particularly innocent, "I was giving you eye signals. It’s your own fault you didn’t see them."

Casper chuckled angrily.

Hell, he had his back to Baby Hawthorne, so even if Baby was winking until his eyes went blind, he’d still not see it.

Baby Hawthorne ignored Casper, ran over to Raina’s side and said, "Mom, are you angry?"

"What do you think?" Her voice was chilly.

Casper’s heart also felt a chill.

He knew full well how much his mom treasured this big brother, but now even with him here, it’s not helping.

Looks like she was really angry.

"Mom..."

Baby Hawthorne tugged carefully at her sleeve and looked up with a pleasing smile, "Don’t be angry. Even if we didn’t teach that bad woman a lesson this time, it’s okay. As long as she’s not convinced, we’ll have plenty of chances."

Teach that bad woman a lesson...

Raina’s forehead vein twitched. Thinking about how she was so thoroughly suppressed by that man in the room just now made her blood boil—it felt ready to explode at any moment!

Baby Hawthorne batted his big eyes and continued, "Even though we didn’t manage to kick her out of The Hawthorne Family by drugging the soup she gave dad, when she does something like that, dad surely won’t condone it, and the days ahead won’t be easy for her."

"..." So it was these two rascals who did the drugging!

Raina took several deep breaths and repeatedly told herself to hold it in, just hold it in!

A mischievous gleam flashed in Baby Hawthorne’s eyes, but his expression grew even more innocent, "Next time, I’ll come up with a better plan with my brother, and I’m sure we can chase that bad woman away."

!!!

So, it was thanks to her son that Elias Hawthorne pulled her into the room and almost pounced on her?

"Casper North!" Raina couldn’t help but shout in anger.

"What the hell!"

Casper North immediately jumped up and cursed through gritted teeth, "Baby Hawthorne! How could you betray me! Where’s your conscience!!"
