The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 444: The Line Ends

Simon Hawthorne still pressed his lips tightly, his attitude firm, he would never let this woman step into The Hawthorne Family’s door.

Otherwise, what would the Sterling Family think?

Now with his older brother not at home, he must bear the responsibility for Hawthorne Group, also for the family’s reputation, and most importantly, protect the reputation of his brother and sister-in-law. He couldn’t let his mother act so recklessly.

But at that moment, the woman who had been standing obediently by the side like an invisible person suddenly rushed out, kneeling down at Mrs. Hawthorne and Simon Hawthorne’s feet.

"Madam, madam, please believe me, the child in my belly is truly President Hawthorne’s. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate. Two months ago, President Hawthorne took me away. That night, he was with me. Originally, I didn’t want to keep this child, but when I heard President Hawthorne was in trouble and he had no children, I truly couldn’t bear for him to die without a heir. That’s why I came to The Hawthorne Family. I’m not a woman who seeks vanity. I don’t ask anything from The Hawthorne Family, I only hope The Hawthorne Family can let me give birth to this child. After the child is born, I will leave The Hawthorne Family and never come back, madam..."

The woman tried her best to appear pitiable.

But that surgically altered face truly couldn’t convey any rich emotions, making the sorrowful expression she forcibly pulled out look extremely bizarre to others.

Simon Hawthorne thought, Mrs. Hawthorne must be crazy to believe his brother would abandon the beautiful woman at home for someone with a zombie face.

The woman continued to plead sorrowfully for the Hawthorne Family to keep the child, as Simon Hawthorne’s face remained expressionless.

Just then, he saw a figure at the door.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come back?"

Simon Hawthorne was a bit awkward, he originally planned to handle this matter before talking to Paige Sterling, yet unexpectedly Paige returned at this critical moment. If she heard Mrs. Hawthorne’s heartless words earlier, who knows if Paige would be completely disappointed in The Hawthorne Family.

"Sister-in-law, don’t overthink it. My brother is not that kind of person, and our Hawthorne Family would never do anything to wrong you!"

Now, he was the only one in The Hawthorne Family who could make decisions, he must express his stance, preventing Paige from overthinking.

Otherwise, when his brother returns, but his wife doesn’t want him anymore, how desperate would his brother be?

Paige Sterling looked at Simon Hawthorne.

Now Julian Hawthorne was in trouble, everything in The Hawthorne Family suddenly fell upon Simon Hawthorne, but Simon wasn’t as reckless as before. Now his whole being had gained a mature and steady temperament, making people feel secure and reliable.

"I know," Paige said simply, clearly showing her trust in Simon Hawthorne.

Mrs. Hawthorne looked coldly at Paige Sterling, knowing that her son was in trouble, shouldn’t Paige be sad and worn out?

But looking at Paige now, her complexion was rosy, where was there any sign of sadness and exhaustion?

Indeed, a ruthless and heartless person.

After Paige walked into the room, the woman knelt again at Paige’s feet, pleading with her.

"Miss Sterling, this is President Hawthorne’s only child. I beg you to be generous, can you spare this child? I am willing to hand over the child to you after birth for you to raise, and never appear again, just wish you would treat this child well!"

The woman anticipated Paige would be angry, after all, which legitimate wife wouldn’t be furious when faced with a pregnant mistress showing up at the door.

She was prepared for Paige to kick her.

But unexpectedly, Paige’s attitude was quite amiable, and she asked her, "What is your name?"

The woman cautiously said, "My name is Moca."

She was the woman Henry Hale had given to Julian Hawthorne that night.

And the face that was originally made to look very similar to Paige Sterling’s was altered that night by Shaun Jones.

But she was unwilling, holding the million given by Julian Hawthorne, wanting to have it done again, but the more she fixed it, the worse it got. Now, it was unbearable to look at.

In her current condition, wanting to marry into a wealthy family was certainly impossible.

But if she didn’t marry into wealth, how could she afford to continue the cosmetic repairs?

Now that Julian Hawthorne was dead, why shouldn’t she come to The Hawthorne Family to fight for something?

If she fails, then so be it.

But if she succeeds, she would really become a higher-class person, the whole Hawthorne Family would belong to her and her child. Faced with such temptation, how could she give it up?

Moreover, Mrs. Hawthorne still supported her heavily.

But Paige Sterling seemed a bit difficult to deal with.

She lifted her eyes and glanced at Paige. Previously, Henry Hale had sculpted her face according to Paige’s, she thought she was already very beautiful.

But upon seeing Paige herself now, she realized she wasn’t even a tenth as good.

If this face were hers, how wonderful that would be. Paige was just someone in academia, isn’t talent enough? Like most women in academia who are slightly ugly, wouldn’t that be fine?

As she was thinking aimlessly, Moca heard Paige speak.

"Moca, your parents didn’t give birth to you so you could kneel and grovel upon seeing people, did they?"

Moca’s expression froze, instantly awkward.

Paige said calmly, "Get up first."

Paige’s calm demeanor made it hard for people to understand what she was thinking.

Moca couldn’t help but anxiously say, "Miss Sterling, please believe me, I truly have no ulterior motives, it’s just that I couldn’t bear for President Hawthorne to have no descendants..."

Paige chuckled, "You’re quite empathetic, even worrying for other families about having no heirs, and even willing to take on the reputation of being pregnant before marriage."

Moca said, "It’s often said that a night of marriage equals a hundred days of grace. President Hawthorne once treated me well, for President Hawthorne’s sake, even if I’m scolded a bit, I’ll accept it."

Paige raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you really want to keep this child?"

Moca looked at Paige, seemingly frightened by her gaze, she took a step back, somewhat terrified, "Miss Sterling, I beg you not to harm my child!"

Paige’s mouth twitched.

Seeing Moca’s reaction, Mrs. Hawthorne believed Paige couldn’t tolerate the child and was threatening Moca. She immediately jumped up and said:

"Paige Sterling! You have no idea how my son got into trouble, do you? You caused my son’s death, you have no face to come to The Hawthorne Family, nor do you have the right to decide whether this child should stay or not! You must leave immediately!"

"Mom!", Simon Hawthorne raised his voice, "Why are you speaking to Sister-in-law like that?"

"I’m her mother-in-law, what’s wrong with speaking to her? Did she hope I’d worship her like a saint after she killed my son?"

Mrs. Hawthorne looked coldly at Paige Sterling.

"Which successful man doesn’t have a few women outside? Which successful man doesn’t have one or two illegitimate children outside? My son is so outstanding, having a few confidantes by his side is naturally expected, if you couldn’t stand it, then you shouldn’t have married into The Hawthorne Family. Now my son is gone because of you, luckily he was smart enough to leave a heir outside, otherwise wouldn’t my son be forever childless because of you?"
