The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 430: Never Expected

In the past, Mrs. Hawthorne resented this son, sparing no effort to torment him and squander the scant amount of maternal affection.

Now that the maternal bond has been exhausted, she wants to mend relations with her son but doesn’t know how to relent, persistently demanding Julian, aiming for quick success and immediate repair of their relationship. But, how can emotions be resolved overnight? How can it be that Mrs. Hawthorne can decide it solely?

As a result of Mrs. Hawthorne’s actions, Julian has become increasingly estranged from her.

Unable to comprehend self-reflection, she failed to sway Julian and then set her sights on Paige Sterling.

Mrs. Hawthorne fell silent.

Simon Hawthorne noticed the blood on the floor, recalling Paige’s weakened appearance when Julian carried her away, and his expression changed.

"Mom, could it be that you caused my sister-in-law to miscarry?"

"Impossible, she..."

Mrs. Hawthorne’s gaze also fell on the blood stain, her face growing more pallid.

How could she suddenly have harmed Paige? If Paige was pregnant and thus feeling unwell?

And now, she slapped Paige and caused bleeding. If she truly caused Paige to lose her child, then...

Would Julian kill her?

Mrs. Hawthorne shivered, recalling how her son looked at her while carrying Paige away.

This son only has Paige in his heart, completely bewitched by her, and these days has constantly threatened and intimidated her. If something truly happened to Paige, would he actually act against her?

Mrs. Hawthorne became fearful, "Simon, Simon, what should mom do?"

Simon was also uncertain, feeling chaotic inside, so he called someone to treat Mrs. Hawthorne’s injuries.

Once the doctor had finished treating Mrs. Hawthorne, Simon said, "Mom, take some rest. I’m going to check on my sister-in-law."

If he truly caused his sister-in-law to miscarry, his elder brother would likely go insane; he had to find out.

Mrs. Hawthorne, however, held onto Simon, not allowing him to leave.

If Julian or Jared Sullivan came charging in with knives, she would be left defenseless and likely be killed by them.

"Simon, you can’t leave, they’ll kill me..."

To be honest, Simon was also a bit scared; his brother’s fury was much more terrifying than Mrs. Hawthorne’s.

Seeing Mrs. Hawthorne in this state, Simon couldn’t help but think critically, knowing the consequences, why did his mom still act this way?

Simon sighed, "Mom, maybe you should go abroad for now?"

Mrs. Hawthorne suddenly looked at Simon, eyes wide, "Simon, are you driving me away? You want to drive me away? Are you also learning from your brother not to acknowledge me as your real mom?"

Seeing Mrs. Hawthorne becoming agitated again, Simon quickly soothed her, "Mom, I’m not driving you away; it’s for your own good. You’ve seen how Uncle Sterling looked earlier. If sister-in-law really miscarried because of you, not only will Uncle Sterling hold you accountable, but I’m afraid my brother will also come after you. If I send you abroad now, it will be hard for them to reach you, right?"

Simon wished his mother would apologize and admit her mistakes, which was the right attitude for someone who did wrong.

But clearly, Mrs. Hawthorne would not go do that, potentially making things even more irreparable. Thus, he could only arrange for Mrs. Hawthorne to go abroad.

This is his mother; he couldn’t just ignore her, right?

Mrs. Hawthorne gritted her teeth, unwilling to just go abroad.

She had nothing left now; staying here she at least had her sons, but if she went abroad, what would she have?

If time goes by, perhaps Simon would forget her too.

What would she do when she grows old? Truly become lonely and isolated?

But as Simon said, Paige was injured by her, if she really miscarried, Jared and Julian wouldn’t let her off, and Old Master Hawthorne might also become angry.

Mrs. Hawthorne was trembling, holding Simon’s arm tightly, "Simon, that woman is crafty, she must be pretending, surely pretending. Help mom expose her, expose her and your brother won’t be angry, Sullivan wouldn’t have any reason to trouble me, and mom can stay by your side to care for you..."

Since Mrs. Hawthorne returned from abroad, Simon never felt cared for by Paige in the slightest; instead, he was cleaning up messes for his mother.

"Mom, sister-in-law is bleeding so much, how could she pretend? And sister-in-law isn’t that kind of person."

Simon rubbed his temples, "Let’s do this, I’ll send you abroad first."

Simon wasn’t a heartless person, but he knew, leaving Mrs. Hawthorne in the country, could potentially affect his relationship with his brother.

In essence, his brotherly relationship with Julian was very deep, now Mrs. Hawthorne’s conduct was already impacting it negatively.

Letting Mrs. Hawthorne continue could lead to sibling rivalry in the future.

Simon didn’t want things to turn out that way, so he could only send Mrs. Hawthorne away. At worst, he’d go visit her abroad later.

Wasn’t it like that in the past too?

Paige was directly taken to the operating room. Outside the operating room, many people gathered out of concern for Paige’s safety.

The nurse who had been caring for Paige angrily walked to Julian.

"Mr. Hawthorne, didn’t you know Professor Sterling had an ectopic pregnancy and was scheduled for surgery this afternoon? It was supposed to be a minor procedure without much risk, but now due to severe bleeding, the surgery difficulty increased, and Professor Sterling might be in danger! What kind of husband are you?"

Julian’s expression was rigid, "Ectopic pregnancy?"

He didn’t know; Paige hadn’t told him...

He suddenly recalled, Paige was at The Hawthorne Family’s house to report this matter, yet she hadn’t expected...

Jared Sullivan was equally shaken by the situation, seeing his precious daughter struck by that crazed woman, now in a precarious state, doctors even suggesting it might affect her future ability to have children...

Jared pondered if he should kill Mrs. Hawthorne.

However, Mrs. Hawthorne wasn’t there; his angry gaze landed on Julian’s pale face.

Reason told Jared this wasn’t Julian’s fault; an ectopic pregnancy wasn’t Julian’s doing, nor could Julian control Mrs. Hawthorne’s insanity.

But Jared was still unable to stop his misplaced anger.

Misplaced anger towards Julian and himself.

Had he been more adamant at first, forbidding Paige from being with Julian, there might not have been as many issues.

The father-in-law relationship between Jared and Julian had considerably improved, but now it was sharply deteriorating due to this incident.

Jared made a call, summoning over ten bodyguards. After Paige’s surgery, they crowded around her hospital room, leaving Julian helplessly distant from Paige.

Paige needed rest, for Julian to force his way in would surely cause a disturbance; thus, Julian dared not force entry and could only linger near the hospital room, helplessly staring at Paige’s room door, looking quite pitiable.

During this period, many came to see Paige, but only Julian couldn’t see his own wife.
