Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 192: She Is Jonas Hawthorne’s Woman

"What do you mean?" Raine instinctively turned around, only to see Leo’s unshed viciousness on his face.

Her heart trembled; she had never seen the usually flippant Leo show such an expression...

Upon further thought of his words, did Jonas arrange everything from the start?

——

At the same time, Silas was discharged from the hospital.

Ever since Jonas Hawthorne’s grandfather passed away, she had gotten used to a free and easy life and couldn’t stand being confined like in a prison.

As soon as she felt better, she wanted to escape.

However, when she left, she thoughtfully took Candace Ford with her.

After her miscarriage, Candace had mostly recovered. She just needed to rest at home and didn’t have to stay in the hospital all the time.

This time, Silas didn’t take her back to Jonas but directly brought her to the Hawthorne Estate.

Back when Jonas and Raine got married, the two young people probably wanted to have their own world, so they suggested living outside, and Silas didn’t stop them.

In hindsight, maybe she should have let the kids live in front of her, so she could have mediated a bit, and not have things come to this...

In the hospital, Candace was watched by Jonas’s people and couldn’t go out. Now, she was stuck with this old hag Silas, and couldn’t move an inch, fueling her resentment even more!

But at least she could use her phone, and had contacted someone to deliver the final neurotoxin to her.

If this damned old woman insisted on keeping her, then let her die faster!!

Sitting in the same car, Silas seemed to sense the strong resentment emanating from the woman beside her, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.

"I know you never liked this old lady. When you were pregnant, I couldn’t do anything about you. Now... humph." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The final ’humph’ was the finishing touch, containing a myriad of meanings!

Candace gritted her teeth, her face even paler. Though she wished she could tear this old woman apart, she had to say, "Since you don’t like me, Grandma, why bring me back?"

"You just lost a child. If I left you, wouldn’t it make the Hawthorne Family seem too heartless? The things you spread to the media about having a wedding with Jonas were quite clever. Now everyone in Sedonia knows about you, so I can’t act rashly..."

Silas let out a long sigh, as if Candace had her fully under control.

At this moment, Candace felt very pleased with herself!

Such is the power of public opinion...

Even without the child now, the face-loving Hawthorne Family wouldn’t easily do anything to her!

Didn’t Jonas hate her? Didn’t Silas dislike her?

Aren’t they still obediently taking her home, not daring to slack off!

"Grandma, you’re exaggerating. I’m just a junior; it’s all because you’re kind-hearted," Candace added another infuriating comment, raising her chin slightly, quite smug!

Even now, she hadn’t completely lost!

At least everyone in Sedonia knew she was Jonas’s woman and had been pregnant with his child...

If the Hawthorne Family drove her away now, it would make Jonas seem heartless and ruthless!

Besides, he just recently divorced; his personal image would plummet instantly, and the Hawthorne Group’s stock price would also be affected!

Just with this, she was sure the Hawthorne family wouldn’t dare to do anything to her!

"You are clever." Silas continued to hum, and the car quickly entered the backyard of the Hawthorne Estate.

When she got out of the car, Candace stood in the courtyard, looking around.

This was the place she had always wanted to come to.

Unfortunately, Silas never acknowledged her and wouldn’t let her in.

Look now, didn’t she personally bring her in?!

So, she hadn’t lost completely.

The child was gone, but her identity as Jonas’s woman remained, and she must seize this opportunity!

Silas, who got out of the car later, looked at her smug face before saying, "Come in with me!"

"Alright, Grandma." Candace still pretended to be obedient, walking over and taking Silas’s arm, following her towards the house.

As they walked, she asked, "Grandma, this yard is so big, you can’t even see the end of it. Do you live here alone?"

"Yes, it’s quite empty!" Silas nodded.

Candace immediately started fantasizing about living here in the future, becoming the mistress of this place...

From the beginning, her goal had been very clear: she had to marry into the Hawthorne Family!

Even if there were some minor hiccups and twists along the way, it didn’t matter, as long as the result was what she wanted!

Silas seemed to have guessed what she was thinking but didn’t explicitly point it out. She waved over the butler, "Take Ms. Ford to the guest room! She is an honored guest of the Hawthorne Family, not to be neglected!"

The butler immediately understood Silas’s meaning, then said to Candace, "Ms. Ford, please follow me."

"Grandma, I’ll go check out the room first." Candace smiled as she spoke.

Silas nodded, watching her turn and leave with the butler.

But the smile on Candace’s face disappeared the moment she turned around, as she silently cursed: damned old woman! I’ll see how I deal with you in the future!

The butler leading the way walked a bit quickly.

After rounding several corridors and walking several more minutes, with the flowers and scenery diminishing, Candace realized something was off.

She frowned and asked the butler, "Are we not there yet?"

"Please be patient, Ms. Ford, we’ll be there shortly." The butler reassured her, continuing to walk ahead.

Candace grew increasingly puzzled.

A few more minutes later, the butler led her to the gate of a dilapidated courtyard, pointed to a clearly long-abandoned two-story villa, and said eerily, "Ms. Ford, here we are."

"..." Candace felt as if she had been struck by lightning, utterly stunned by the scene before her!

It took her a long time to regain her voice, "You... you’re letting me stay here?!"

"It’s not me," the butler corrected her, "these are the orders of the old madam."

"Grandma just said I’m an honored guest of the Hawthorne Family, and this is how you treat guests? You dog relying on your master! I’ll go tell Grandma right now!" Candace cursed angrily, turning to retrace her steps.

The butler, however, calmly said, "This is indeed the old madam’s order. Asking her will yield the same answer. Food will be delivered later."

After speaking, the butler walked away even faster than her!

It seemed that the place reeked of misfortune, discouraging him from lingering!

Candace clenched her fists in anger!

"Silas, you win this round! But I’ll secretly give you one last shot, to send you off!"
