Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 194:

Raine Sinclair’s heart tightened.

She knew that her third brother was not joking.

Even Leo in the pit could sense the surging murderous aura...

It was different from Jonas Hawthorne’s threat and regal presence; this person exuded an air of genuine death!

Swallowing silently, he sneaked another glance at Raine Sinclair, secretly resolving that no matter what happened in the future, he must never easily provoke her again!

Terrifying, terrifying!

So many brothers, each skilled in their own right!

He couldn’t handle even one of them!

Looking back at the near-unconscious Jonas Hawthorne beside him, Leo couldn’t help but lower his voice in admiration, "With such in-laws, how did you ever think of marrying her? They’re too ruthless!"

Jonas Hawthorne glanced at him.

The tension in his handsome face eased, and he was actually amused.

Yeah.

When he went with Raine Sinclair to the Jennings Family, he had met each of her cousins.

Even he hadn’t expected that, despite disliking trouble, he would patiently endure all their tests and stay at the Jennings Family for several days.

He can’t even explain what he was thinking back then.

Seeing him covered in injuries and usually so above everyone else, Mr. Hawthorne ended up being tossed into a mass grave...

If this got out, wouldn’t people laugh their heads off?

Jonas Hawthorne himself couldn’t accept it, and that’s why he laughed like a madman?

"Are you okay?" Leo looked at him with immense disdain.

"Ha..." Jonas Hawthorne continued to laugh, and then started coughing, his wounds immediately pulling, and blood began seeping out again.

Seeing this, Leo quickly said, "Alright, stop laughing. You almost lost your life, and you can still laugh? Hurry to the hospital!"

Just as he finished speaking, John Franklin hopped down to the edge of the pit with one hand and quickly began checking Jonas Hawthorne’s condition.

Leo knew John Franklin was a doctor, so he didn’t stop him, standing up to make room.

Turning around, he saw Levi Lane calling Raine Sinclair to the side, and the siblings were having a conversation.

A bit curious, Leo squatted beside John Franklin and asked, "Why do all of your brothers have different last names?"

"Cousins," John Franklin replied.

The Jennings Family only had York Jennings as the sole heir.

"Oh," Leo nodded, but his brows were still furrowed, "You’re a doctor, Levi Lane is like the Grim Reaper, so what about York Jennings?"

John Franklin stiffened slightly at his words.

Leo was still waiting for an answer when Jonas Hawthorne glanced at him.

Leo quickly explained, "I’m just curious! York Jennings is supposed to inherit the Jennings Family, right? Recently, he caused so much trouble for the Hawthorne Family, so he..."

"He’s a general," John Franklin replied.

"Huh?" Leo was stunned, thinking he misheard, and quickly asked, "What does that mean? A general? In this day and age?"

But Jonas Hawthorne said, "The general plans in the tent, while the soldiers march on the front lines."

With those words, John Franklin glanced at him, his eyes indifferent but not denying anything.

The order of appearance of him and Levi Lane, as well as their actions, were all prearranged by York Jennings.

While they could decide on the specifics, the most crucial directions and timings didn’t deviate a bit from York Jennings’ intentions.

Leo blinked, taking a while to come to his senses.

"You two alone have turned everything upside down, and the most important thing is York Jennings hasn’t shown up since the explosion incident. Could he be planning something else?"

"..." John Franklin didn’t answer, nor did he deny it.

What their eldest brother wanted to do, they never knew.

——

About seven or eight meters away from the pit, Raine Sinclair was asking the same question.

"Third brother, what else did our eldest brother ask you to do?"

"If you don’t mind, killing Jonas Hawthorne doesn’t matter," Levi Lane relayed the message word for word.

Raine Sinclair rubbed her forehead, "He really has murderous intentions. I’ve already said to let bygones be bygones; why can’t you all let it go?"

"..." Levi Lane looked at his little sister’s conflicted expression, equally puzzled, "He hurt you, yet you don’t want him dead."

"I..." Raine Sinclair sighed gently before speaking slowly, "Third brother, the world isn’t just black and white, life and death. There are many gray areas. Moreover, the divorce wasn’t solely his fault; there’s no need to speak of life and death."

Levi Lane didn’t say more, but his brows did tense up.

These emotions, he found them quite hard to understand.

Seeing him like this, Raine Sinclair continued, "Forget it; let’s head back."

Saying this, she turned to look back at the pit.

By then, John Franklin had finished checking Jonas Hawthorne’s injuries, and Leo was helping him out of the pit.

At a glance, Raine Sinclair could see Jonas Hawthorne covered in dirt and dust.

Even in a dark suit, it was easy to see the slashed wounds on him...

Her gaze instantly darkened.

Her third brother showed no mercy at all.

Beside the pit lay a huge shovel.

She could almost imagine her third brother throwing a wounded Jonas Hawthorne into the pit and continually flinging dirt over him with the shovel.

If she had called her second brother a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

John Franklin saw Raine Sinclair and Levi Lane returning and said, "Alright, let’s all head back. Jonas Hawthorne will take a car with Raine, third brother, I’ll drive your car later."

Raine Sinclair listened to the arrangement, raising an eyebrow slightly but not opposing it.

Separating Jonas Hawthorne from her third brother was for the best...

As the group walked back, Leo jumped out, "What about me?"

"You’ll come with us," John Franklin quickly decided. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Huh? No need, I can go with Jonas Hawthorne, we..."

Before he could finish, Levi Lane stepped up to block Leo’s path, his face stern, "What’s wrong? You don’t want to travel with us?"

That immense murderous aura suddenly enveloped his skull, leaving Leo with no courage to refuse.

He quickly forced a laugh, "How could I not want to? Of course I do!"

...

So, three minutes later, in a black Volkswagen.

John Franklin was driving, and Leo sat in the back with Levi Lane.

Being next to a Grim Reaper wasn’t a pleasant feeling; Leo meekly asked, "Uh, should I sit in the front? Otherwise, it looks like second brother’s our chauffeur..."

Trying to get closer, Leo followed Jonas Hawthorne’s lead in calling him second brother.

His biggest trait was adaptability!

John Franklin, "I don’t mind."

Leo’s mouth twitched: You don’t mind, but I do!!

Levi Lane remained unresponsive, just turned quietly to glance at Leo.

"!!" Leo held his breath instantly!

In the front, John Franklin glanced at the rearview mirror, a slight smile on his lips.

Levi Lane’s aloof nature just needed someone lively to stir things up around him.
