The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 471: Nothing at All

Paige Sterling raised an eyebrow, "Seeing you like this is quite amusing. If you could come to the hospital to entertain me every day, who knows? I might get so happy that I’ll give you whatever you want."

If it were before, Paige’s words would have delighted Julian Hawthorne. He would have immediately asked for Penson and VastReach.

But now, Paige had completely trampled Julian’s pride, making him ignore what she said.

He stared at Paige intently, "All of you leave. I need to speak with her alone."

Wayne Wright didn’t leave, nor did Sarah Sutton.

Julian Hawthorne felt his orders were being blatantly disregarded, and his expression grew even gloomier.

Then Sarah stood up, clutching Julian’s arm, and said pitifully, "Mr. Hawthorne, the young lady was so terrifying just now."

The authority Julian had painstakingly built in front of others was shattered by Paige, leaving nothing but scraps. Moreover, Sarah had witnessed it, and now he felt like silencing her. Where was the room for sentimental considerations?

He coldly said, "If you’re scared, get lost. What are you still doing here?"

Previously, Julian had always been gentle with Sarah. Such a graceful and successful man treating her so kindly made her feel she was stepping into a fortunate world, ready to embrace a different life.

But now that Julian was being so harsh and vile to her, she was both frightened and wronged, unable to believe that the man she had pinned her hopes on would treat her this way.

She waited for Julian to realize his wrong demeanor and to apologize to her.

But Julian didn’t; he kept looking at her coldly, "Are you not going yet?"

Finally, Sarah Sutton ran out in tears.

At the door, she was pulled aside by Nanny Sutton, whose expression was terrifying. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Because Nanny Sutton had heard everything Sarah said inside, though she didn’t scold Sarah, she just needed to keep an eye on her until Sarah’s parents came to take her away.

She had already phoned Sarah’s parents earlier.

"Auntie, I know you’re really angry with me and think I’m shameless, but you’re old now and don’t understand how the young would go to great lengths for love. I don’t care what others think of me now, nor about the future. As long as I can be with Mr. Hawthorne, I’ll pay any price. Please don’t stop me."

Nanny Sutton, "..."

She didn’t comprehend love, but she understood principles, and Sarah’s words had turned her world upside down.

She had never known her niece could be so shameless, capable of such actions and words; she even wished she could smack her.

Nanny Sutton didn’t want to converse with her morally misguided niece, so she stayed silent.

Seeing Nanny Sutton ignore her, Sarah also ceased speaking.

She didn’t leave, instead waiting at the door for Julian Hawthorne.

She couldn’t believe Julian, who once said she was his true love, would be so heartless. She convinced herself that Julian Hawthorne’s harsh words were only meant to keep her safe from Paige’s wrath.

Julian was doing it for her; she must continue to believe in their love.

After persuading herself, Sarah reignited her resolve to fight for her love till the end.

In a short while, Julian Hawthorne emerged from the ward, still looking displeased.

The reason he had originally come was to discuss the issue about VastReach and Penson.

Until now, the power of the Hawthorne Group remained in Simon Hawthorne’s hands, and the Tell Group, which he had high hopes for, was merely an empty framework unable to offer any support; instead, it needed rescuing.

Right now, his only hope was Paige Sterling. As long as he could secure either VastReach or Penson, he could make a complete comeback, which is why he kept approaching Paige.

But every time he hadn’t even had the chance to voice out his intentions before some disruption occurred.

Previously, it was always Jared Sullivan giving him a hard time.

Now, Paige was hospitalized, without Jared, but he was beaten up by Wayne Wright.

The bruises were on areas people couldn’t see, but it hurt.

And while getting beaten, Paige was on the side clapping happily.

This heartless woman was truly watching the show with that adulterer, witnessing his downfall. He would see how to get back at her in the future!

And when Sarah Sutton saw Julian Hawthorne stride out, she disregarded Nanny Sutton’s pulling and followed Julian.

"Big Brother Hawthorne, are you okay? Did the lady give you a hard time?"

Julian Hawthorne, at his most embarrassing moment, was seen by Sarah Sutton, yet she dared to come and draw attention now.

His face turned grim as he reached an isolated area, suddenly spinning around, gripping Sarah’s neck.

"You wretch, who told you to seduce me back then? Who told you to go after Paige? You despicable woman, you ruined my plans!"

He felt if it weren’t for Sarah, Paige wouldn’t have become so extreme.

And this clueless woman dared to approach at such timing.

She thought he really loved her? He was merely fed up with Alisa’s sumptuous affection, craving simplicity, just looking to diversify, at the end of the day, treating Sarah as a plaything, yet Sarah self-indulgently thought she was his true love?

Wishful thinking.

Truth is, Julian Hawthorne shared a face with Julian, but close your eyes and ignore the face, you’d realize this one was an impostor.

Faces can be replicated, but some things etched in bone cannot.

Julian Hawthorne’s viciousness was something Sarah Sutton had never seen; it truly terrified her, making her feel he could actually kill her.

"I didn’t, Mr. Hawthorne, I, I, I didn’t..."

Julian didn’t dare to actually commit murder in the hospital; seeing Sarah barely conscious, her eyes rolling back, he released her and stormed away.

Sarah Sutton slumped to the ground, gasping frantically, filled with terror.

How could Julian Hawthorne be so horrifying? He seemed so cultured and gentle.

Nanny Sutton approached Sarah, "Now you know. In Mr. Hawthorne’s eyes, you’re nothing."

Nanny Sutton wanted Sarah to face reality, "Don’t cling to dreams of becoming something you’re not. You wish to find a wealthy man, but do you think rich men are fools? Just go back to your home and live your life properly, don’t inflict chaos anymore."

However, Sarah seemed to barely register Nanny Sutton’s words, and with stubborn resolve, got up and ran off.

Nanny Sutton, "..."

She feared what might happen to Sarah, so she called Sarah’s parents again.

Sarah had come to her without any prior notice, just appearing unannounced.

In return, she brought so much trouble; Nanny Sutton was also vexed by Sarah but feared she might cause trouble if she ran off, so she contacted her family, urging them to find her and then prompting Sarah’s parents to promptly come and take their daughter away.

Meanwhile, she still had Paige to take care of.

Her son-in-law, once such a wonderful person, suddenly became this way; whether he had been pretending before was unknown.

To Nanny Sutton, Paige Sterling was pitiable.
