Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 189: Someone Owes You a Debt, Let Your Brothers Collect It for You!
Levi Lane is skilled in close combat, with the dagger being both his primary and most proficient weapon.
Others might not know, but Jonas Hawthorne is well aware that this dagger cuts through iron like mud, making it most suitable for killing.
Levi Lane is a man of solitary nature, speaks little, but has a very ruthless heart.
However, at this moment, he hesitated because of Jonas Hawthorne calling him "Third Brother."
"What did you call me?"
He asked incredulously.
"Third Brother." Jonas Hawthorne replied quickly, without a trace of hesitation.
This made Levi Lane even more perplexed, "Didn’t you and Raine divorce?"
Jonas Hawthorne’s thin lips curved slightly, "Third Brother is ultimately Third Brother."
Levi Lane paused for a moment, then sneered, "Trying to get close with me? No use."
"Oh? Then what does Third Brother plan to do?" Jonas Hawthorne raised an eyebrow and asked lightly.
Raine Sinclair has three brothers: the eldest, York Jennings, struck the Hawthorne Group hard in business; the second brother, John Franklin, originally should have been plotting against him in the hospital but has yet to reveal his true intentions.
Now, the third brother is also here...
Levi Lane stared at him with an extremely cold gaze, "You almost cost Raine her life, I won’t let you continue living."
Jonas Hawthorne’s eyes dimmed slightly, it seemed that the three brothers had already learned about the blood draw incident.
The deeds done must ultimately be paid for.
Jonas Hawthorne slowly stood up, his gaze towards Levi Lane also filled with murderous intent!
"Alright, then Third Brother should make his move."
Levi Lane raised an eyebrow at him, "I brought a dagger, you should find a weapon as well!"
"No need," Jonas Hawthorne replied.
Even if he took a gun now, it wouldn’t be faster than Levi Lane’s knife.
Levi Lane’s gaze dimmed slightly, and he swiftly made his move!
"Then let’s fight!"
Before the words were fully spoken, he lunged at Jonas Hawthorne like a specter!
"Pfft!"
It was the sound of a knife piercing flesh.
Bright red blood slowly flowed along the blade, dripping onto the soft carpet.
——
Raine Sinclair was eating but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.
William Jennings was also nearby and asked, seeing his granddaughter frowning, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing..." Raine Sinclair shook her head after regaining her composure, "I don’t know why I feel a bit anxious."
"It’s because you don’t eat well, always having low blood sugar! You’ve been like this since childhood! Despite having so much delicious food, you always want to lose weight!"
William Jennings reminisced about how little Raine Sinclair used to follow him around, calling him grandpa, such a cute little girl she was!
Carefree, with a constant smile on her face, unlike now, always frowning.
"Maybe it’s because I didn’t eat much at noon..." Raine Sinclair smiled awkwardly, then suddenly asked, "Grandpa, I heard from Second Brother that Third Brother is here too?"
"Yes indeed." William Jennings nodded, "Just as your brothers are free, it’s good they came to see their little sister."
"But I haven’t seen either Eldest Brother or Third Brother..." Raine Sinclair was taken aback.
They say they came to see her, yet there’s no sign of them?
"Your eldest brother went to help you investigate something, he should meet with you soon. As for your third brother... he’s always been elusive, even I can’t keep track of him, this you know." William Jennings said while eating.
Levi Lane’s strange nature means he doesn’t like gatherings, preferring to act alone.
Raine Sinclair naturally knows this, but...
On regular days it didn’t matter, everyone has their preferred lifestyle, but this time is different!
Third Brother clearly came for Jonas Hawthorne!
And whenever Third Brother makes a move, one side always falls before the fight can truly end.
"Grandpa, I’m doing pretty well now. What’s past is past, maybe we should just let it go?"
She cautiously advised.
But Grandpa just glanced at her, "Raine, you’re too soft-hearted, don’t involve yourself, if someone owes you a debt, your brothers will help you collect it!"
"No, I..."
"Otherwise what’s the point of calling them brothers all these years?" William Jennings interrupted, leaving Raine Sinclair speechless.
She coughed lightly and couldn’t say more, so she focused on eating.
Halfway through, her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw Uncle Rhodes calling.
Raine Sinclair quickly remembered asking Uncle Rhodes to return some clothes earlier, has he come back this quickly?
After pondering, she answered the call.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Rhodes’ very anxious and shocked voice came through.
"Miss! It’s bad!"
"What’s going on?" Raine Sinclair subconsciously frowned, "Speak slowly."
"I... I went to change clothes, but when the servant took me to see Mr. Hawthorne, we found that he wasn’t in the study, and there’s a pool of blood on the carpet! We still can’t find Mr. Hawthorne, I..."
Before Uncle Rhodes could finish, Raine Sinclair’s heart already skipped a beat!
She immediately put down the phone and looked at William Jennings, urgently saying, "Grandpa! Quickly tell Third Brother to stop!"
William Jennings seemed to expect the nature of this call; he calmly took a sip of soup and replied indifferently, "This is what he owes you."
"Grandpa, he doesn’t owe me anything; back then, it was just my one-sided wish to marry him..." Raine Sinclair sighed.
She often wondered, if she hadn’t been so stubborn back then, would things be different today?
William Jennings said, "If you wanted to marry, he agreed? Raine, don’t take everything upon yourself. If Jonas Hawthorne had even a bit of unwillingness, he would never force himself, you still don’t understand men."
Raine Sinclair gripped her phone tightly, her gaze resolute, "Anyway, he must not be harmed!"
With that, she turned and headed towards the door!
William Jennings didn’t stop her, just subtly smiled and continued eating.
"Ah, the foolish love of this world..."
Just after Raine Sinclair’s car left, a Mercedes drove into the Sinclair Family’s backyard.
York Jennings stepped out, glanced at the rear of Raine Sinclair’s departing car, then hurried into the restaurant.
——
Thirty minutes later.
Raine Sinclair’s car stopped outside the Hawthorne Family estate.
In the dim evening light, this villa seemed both very familiar and utterly alien to her.
Once, it was her and Jonas Hawthorne’s home; she thought they could live there all their lives, pouring all her blood, sweat, and tears into making it as cozy as possible.
But now...
Remembering that day she left heartbroken, cold rain falling on her, stabbing like icy daggers.
That kind of pain, she really doesn’t want to experience it again.
Sighing, Uncle Rhodes was already coming out of the Hawthorne Family yard.
"Miss, Mr. Hawthorne is still not found, the house servants say they don’t know where he went! His phone is still on the study desk!"
