She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 985: On the Verge of Collapse
It’s well known that Susan Kensington’s rise to power in the past was not a glorious one, especially considering that the biological mother of Elias Hawthorne and Jasper Hawthorne was literally angered to death by her.
Originally, after the previous Mrs. Hawthorne passed away, Susan Kensington was full of hope that she could become the lady of The Hawthorne Family, but little did she expect that Old Mrs. Hawthorne and the deceased Hawthorne would expel her son and remove him from the family records.
Though it wasn’t as if Hawthorne was truly heartless toward Vincent Hawthorne, as he did allocate him plenty of assets, ample enough for a lifetime of prosperity. Yet, this was far from the life of calling the shots as Mrs. Hawthorne that Susan envisioned.
No matter how indifferent Susan pretended to be in front of Vincent Hawthorne, in reality, she deeply hated these obstacles.
Now that Elias Hawthorne is missing and Old Mrs. Hawthorne is in her grasp, it’s unlikely that Susan Kensington would let it go so easily.
Susan’s expression eased slightly as she curled her finely drawn red lips and said, "Exactly. That’s what I mean. I just wonder if you have the ability to achieve it." After a pause, she added, "Anyone who wishes to become a top executive at The Hawthorne Group and rise above others must be capable."
"Mrs. Hawthorne is a woman of vision and ability; knowing you is my honor, and being valued by you brings me great fortune. Rest assured, we will handle this matter beautifully, allowing you to vent your anger thoroughly.
Regarding President Hawthorne’s inauguration ceremony tomorrow, rest assured, there will be no mistakes, and from tomorrow onward, you are the rightful First Lady of Southgate. Nobody will dampen your moment of glory, ensuring your future is smooth and bright."
The man spoke more fervently, pledging loyalty to Susan Kensington for obvious reasons.
"Very good," Susan was very satisfied. "Since that’s the case, I’ll be waiting for your good news. By then, I believe my side will also have good news for you, which will not disappoint."
The man’s expression grew even more excited as he quickly stood up and left The Hawthorne Family. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Just as he stepped out the main gate, the man pulled out his phone and made a call.
In no time, over a dozen people came rushing over energetically.
They were equipped with batons and other tools, then got into several vehicles, driving grandly toward the outskirts.
An hour later, at The Hawthorne Family’s suburban estate.
After the man knocked on the door, someone soon opened it.
A middle-aged woman dressed in a maid’s outfit was not surprised to see them and greeted them quite affably: "You’re here."
The man nodded: "How is the old lady today?"
The maid replied: "She can eat, sleep, and play. She even went for a stroll in the garden just now, looking quite well."
"This old lady is tough, with a strong mindset. That’s the best. If she was easily scared like those inexperienced old folks, where would be the fun in that?" More importantly, how could he demonstrate his abilities?
He wanted Susan Kensington to notice his prowess and look at him with new eyes.
When the man led his brothers into the grand living room, Old Mrs. Hawthorne was calmly sipping tea under Auntie Warren’s care.
During the short period since they last met, Old Mrs. Hawthorne had changed a lot. The previously black and white hair had turned entirely silver, and the lines on her face had deepened significantly, making her appear much older.
So much has happened within The Hawthorne Family in such a short time; Old Mrs. Hawthorne is not heartless, so how could she be unfazed?
If not for her firm belief that her grandson would be alright and would safely bring back her grandson and Raina, she probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on either.
