Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 140: Raine Sinclair, You Better Remember This!
His sports car just arrived yesterday, and he hasn’t even had a chance to get behind the wheel yet. If he handed it over to Quentin Carlson, wouldn’t he be crying himself to death?
Raine was in a hurry and didn’t expect that just asking a person would get her into such a mess?
And a dance?
She really wasn’t in the mood!
"Never mind, forget it." With those four words, she turned around immediately, planning to leave.
Half of the dance party was over, and she didn’t believe she couldn’t find Jordan Holden.
"Hey?" Finn Wyatt didn’t expect her to refuse so bluntly and instinctively grabbed her hand, "Wait a minute!"
Quentin Carlson, who was watching all this unfold from not too far away, shook his head helplessly and murmured to himself, "Ah, Finn, you’re too rough in pursuing girls! How can you just grab them like that? You’re asking for a slap!"
Just as he finished his sentence, Raine had already turned around, trying to shake off Finn Wyatt’s hand. The motion was perhaps a bit too much, and unintentionally, there was a lifting of the hand that made Quentin Carlson suck in a breath of cold air!
"Really going to slap him?!"
In fact, Raine simply wanted to break free from Finn Wyatt, but unfortunately, Finn just wouldn’t let go.
His pride, his sports car, all depended on this!
The most crucial point...
He might not have even realized that subconsciously, he really wanted to dance a song with her.
"Hey, Raine, that’s not the attitude you had when you came to me for a signature as a guarantor!" Finn Wyatt began to recall past grievances.
In any case, he was determined to make Raine dance with him tonight!
Raine paused and countered, "But you didn’t end up being my guarantor?"
"You... I agreed, but you never came to find me." Finn Wyatt said a bit helplessly.
Raine raised her brows slightly, just recalling that after Jordan Holden approved her loan, she had completely forgotten about Finn Wyatt...
Well, she had indeed been quite busy lately.
In any case, Finn had at least promised to help her before, and even though he hadn’t, it counted as a favor!
With that in mind, her attitude softened significantly, "Well... but I really have something to do now, you can find someone else to dance with."
"No way, it has to be you!" Finn Wyatt interrupted her, stubbornly like a child!
His mind was entirely on his sports car!
He couldn’t afford to lose!
Raine was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry at his demeanor, "Mr. Wyatt, what’s wrong with you?"
"This..." Finn Wyatt’s eyes darted around; he certainly couldn’t directly admit that he had made a bet with his buddies involving her, so he started making up a story, "Ah, you don’t know, lately, I dream of Diane Linton every night. Thinking of our past... Ah, you were once her best friend, and you carry her spirit within you. If I could dance with you, it would fulfill my longing of years..."
Finn Wyatt was momentarily stunned when those dignified words came out of his mouth.
Immediately, a phrase popped into his mind: a man’s mouth is a deceiver’s trick!
As a man himself, he couldn’t help but agree with that saying?
And as Raine heard those words, her feelings became somewhat complicated.
Suddenly, she recalled that during Diane Linton’s illness, she once worried about how Finn Wyatt would get by after she was gone...
Seeing Raine somewhat moved, Finn Wyatt immediately reached out to her, "Quick, quick, the music is on, once we finish dancing, I’ll take you to find Jordan!"
Raine heard the music slowly rising by her ears, and her right hand began to lift slowly.
Just as she was about to place it in Finn Wyatt’s hand, she inadvertently glanced up and saw Jordan Holden not far ahead, holding a glass and conversing with a group of people.
Thankfully, she had found out beforehand that Jordan was wearing the Dragon King mask; otherwise, he would have been hard to spot!
Now that the target had appeared, she couldn’t care less about dancing or not dancing. She bypassed Finn Wyatt and quickly walked towards Jordan.
Finn Wyatt, "..."
Originally thinking the woman would be in his grasp, how did her hand suddenly withdraw?
More than that, why did she leave altogether?
"Hey!" He wanted to call Raine back, but the music became increasingly loud, plus Quentin Carlson had already come to his side.
"Tsk tsk, she’s gone! Your sports car is mine now! Hahaha!" Having witnessed the whole scene, Quentin Carlson couldn’t help but laugh, thinking of how even his good friend had such an embarrassing moment and the sports car that was about to be his; the thought alone thrilled him immensely!
Finn Wyatt thoroughly blackened his face!
Raine, just you remember this!!
——
Unaware of anything, Raine had already reached Jordan Holden.
They weren’t at the center of the dance floor, so the music wasn’t as loud, allowing for normal conversation.
"Uncle Holden!" Raine greeted first, with a sense of relief!
Jordan had just finished chatting, and upon hearing the voice, he turned around to see a butterfly mask and was momentarily stunned, "Who are you?"
"I’m Raine Sinclair!"
"You’re Raine? But this mask..." Jordan knew Raine would appear with a special princess mask, so how did it become a butterfly mask?
He had been wondering where the princess mask went as the party was nearing its end and had sent someone to find it!
Raine froze for a moment, then quickly brushed it aside, "This... there was a little incident, but the mask isn’t important! Uncle, I heard you have a very advanced blood filtration system?"
The sudden appearance of this girl already surprised Jordan enough, and hearing her ask about his recent business secret made his expression a bit odd.
After a while, he lowered his voice and asked, "Girl, how did you know about this?"
This was his treasure meant to enter the Sedonia medical market in the second half of the year, something many hospitals weren’t even aware of, so where did she get the information from?
Raine chuckled upon hearing this, "Uncle, no need to hide it from me! It’s like this, I have a senior who’s been poisoned and is waiting for this system to save their life! Could you lend it to me?"
"Oh? Which senior?" Jordan raised an eyebrow, curiously asking.
"This..." Raine hesitated, unsure if she should say, as it concerned the privacy of the Hawthorne family.
Then she heard Jordan say, "Borrowing equipment from me isn’t impossible, but at least you need to tell me who it’s for, right?"
This was indeed reasonable...
Raine pondered for a moment and then told Jordan about the situation with the Hawthorne grandmother.
"So it’s a Hawthorne matter!" Jordan realized and then started to gossip, "But how did she get poisoned?"
Raine was about to answer when a waiter rushed over, respectfully telling Jordan, "Mr. Holden, the owner of the princess mask has been found; she went to the VIP guest room on the 13th floor."
