Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 124: Her Heart Was Already His

Silas didn’t hear the specifics of the phone call, but seeing his grandson’s dark face, he could probably guess something.

"You must be busy, no need to take me to the hospital. My old bones aren’t so brittle that I can’t walk on my own anymore." Silas sighed.

William Jennings’ words linger in the air; when he was young, he had a blood-thirsty nature, and seeing his granddaughter suffer such wrong now, he surely wouldn’t stand by idly.

No matter how the Jennings Family makes things difficult this time, Silas won’t say a word.

Jonas Hawthorne’s dark eyes slightly sank, and after a long while, he said, "Grandma, it’s your unfilial grandson."

Silas said no more, only happened to drop Jonas off at the company.

As the car stopped, Silas could see from afar Candace Ford arguing endlessly with Leo Keane up ahead.

Leo Keane’s efforts for this contract were truly exhausting his last breath.

Not only did he intercept Candace in a taxi, but he also tricked her into coming here.

"Didn’t you tell me Jonas was here? He’s not here at all! Did you deceive me?" Candace, losing her patience, finally had her attitude shift, feeling like she was about to breathe fire!

Leo himself was at his wit’s end.

He had no other choice but to deceive Candace, otherwise what would happen to his contract?

Now, people have been tricked into coming, what kind of lie should he fabricate next?

While racking his brains, he suddenly saw a car parked on the street, and Jonas Hawthorne just happened to step out of it!

At that moment, Leo felt he had truly grabbed a lifeline!

He quickly pointed toward Jonas, shouting, "Look! Isn’t he coming now?"

Candace followed his finger and saw Jonas briskly walking over.

"Jonas!" She rushed forward, "Why are you only coming now? Where did you go just now?"

All blame could be laid on Leo, following her all along; she had no idea where Jonas took Silas just now!

While asking, she glanced behind Jonas, just as a Hawthorne car was driving away.

She didn’t see if there was anyone else in the car or know how Silas, that old lady, was doing...

She could only hold on to Jonas for a clear answer.

Little did she know that Jonas had received a company’s call and was returning urgently, with no time to debate with her.

"What are you doing here?" He coldly and displeasedly asked.

"I..." Seeing his irritated look, Candace’s eyes reddened in an instant, and her aggrieved voice started to choke up, "Jonas, I’m worried about you, so I came to check on you... How’s Grandma doing? I wanted to see her, but when I saw you leaving, I tried to follow, and then Leo brought me here..."

Upon hearing Candace complain, Leo quickly moved in to explain, "I..."

Jonas waved his hand, indicating he need not speak, and instead said, "I asked Leo to bring you here."

Leo breathed a sigh of relief...

Fortunately, the boss acknowledged what was done!

The contract was settled!

"But..." Candace still wanted to talk, but Jonas coldly cut her off, "Grandma’s fine, no need to worry. Go home first; I have matters to deal with."

Saying that, he headed toward the building.

Left behind, Candace gritted her teeth in fury!

Seeing his task was completed, Leo chuckled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head, "I’ll be going then..."

He left comfortably.

With both contracts in hand, he could relax!

Little did he know, as he left, Candace’s expression suddenly changed.

Was it Jonas who called on Leo to pester her?

Which meant, Jonas must have done something he didn’t want her to know!

Otherwise, why go to such lengths?

The more she thought about it, the more it felt off, so Candace hurriedly pulled out her phone and dialed Lily Sinclair’s number.

Since Jonas wouldn’t tell, she’d find another way.

To ask about Sinclair Family matters, it had to be Lily.

When Lily answered the phone, she instinctively frowned.

Knowing Candace’s intent, she coldly refused, "I’ve been resting at home lately, I’m not aware of my cousin’s matters."

Constantly probing for information like this, truly repulsive!

Candace, knowing she wouldn’t easily cooperate, smiled and said, "Leon Grant has proposed to Raine Sinclair, don’t you want to know the progress? If Raine really marries him, you’d regret it too late!"

This sentence once again stirred Lily’s inner dissatisfaction.

Actually, these past few days she had been resting at home on leave, not going to work.

After chatting with Easton Yancy, she seriously considered whether to work with Candace...

Her heart had been quite peaceful for those days, but she didn’t expect a call from Candace, a few words in passing, could easily stir ripples on her calm mind.

"You said you’d help me win Leon’s heart, but you’ve not acted, just trying to get my cousin’s news from me." Lily suddenly lowered her voice, frowning and revealing Candace’s plot.

Actually, she knew Candace merely intended to use her...

And even when exposed, Candace remained unfazed, coldly sneering, "Lily, cooperation fundamentally serves mutual needs. I want to know your cousin’s whereabouts, you want Leon’s heart, we each strive for our goals."

"..." Lily fell silent. The logic was sound, but...

"Don’t you want to know if Leon has seen your cousin? Whether anything happened between them?" Candace continued to provoke her.

For a woman trapped in love, a few words can easily stir imagination.

Indeed, at those words, Lily’s mind instantly pictured Leon and her cousin in joyful conversation.

Ultimately, she couldn’t let go.

"Stop it." Unhappily interrupting Candace, Lily disliked being manipulated like this.

Feeling Lily’s anger, instead of getting mad, Candace felt somewhat pleased.

The easier it was to provoke Lily, the easier she could be controlled.

Such an ignorant girl, with a little incitement, would surely become useful!

Having a pawn like this next to Raine was akin to planting a hefty bomb...

See, one day she’ll deliver a deadly blow to Raine!

"I’m fine, but I’m afraid tonight you’ll be too curious to sleep. What exactly does your cousin think of Leon? Have they already secretly promised each other’s hearts just hiding it from you, the poor foolish girl?"
