Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 202: You’re Such a Coward!

Lily Sinclair’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked back, "Sister, how... how do you know?"

"Just as I thought." Raine Sinclair observed her reaction and knew she had guessed correctly. "All the surveillance from the hotel that day was deleted. Things aren’t that simple. What exactly do you know?"

"I... I can’t say." Lily bit down, unable to bring herself to speak of such things.

Moreover, it was done under the guise of her cousin’s name...

Raine saw that she still refused to talk and squeezed her brow again.

"Lily, paper can’t wrap fire. Once it’s uncovered, I’ll know anyway. If you tell me now, maybe we can still be sisters."

Originally, Lily wanted to keep this secret buried in her heart forever, never to be spoken.

But her cousin gave her a glimmer of hope!

"Really? You... you can forgive me?!"

"Are you willing to talk now?" Raine asked again.

"..." Lily opened her mouth, and after a long while, she said, "Sister, give me some time."

"Fine. I heard from Father that you’re leaving tomorrow? Answer me before then."

"Okay."

Lily responded and then set down her phone.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the wardrobe.

Many clothes inside were bought together with her cousin.

Sometimes she would act spoiled, insisting that her cousin buy her a couple of pieces...

Recalling those pleasant memories, Lily couldn’t help but laugh.

But when she realized she had messed everything up, the laughter abruptly stopped.

The loneliness and desolation after the joy doubled...

In life, some mistakes really can’t be made.

——

That night, Raine had some insomnia.

She waited for Lily’s call all night, but it never came.

At breakfast, her mother saw she looked tired and knew she had many worries.

Not wanting to disturb her mood, yet she had to ask, "Your grandfather went to handle some matters and won’t be home for a couple of days. But he saw the news last night and asked if you’re really getting married..."

These were words Sharon Jennings herself wanted to ask.

Her daughter had always been opinionated since childhood.

Back when she married Jonas Hawthorne, no one could stop her once she decided.

And now, she wasn’t sure if she was really marrying Leon Grant.

"Mom, it’s just a charade, you don’t need to worry about it." Raine coughed lightly and then silently lowered her head to drink her porridge.

Sharon wanted to ask more, but Evan Sinclair shook his head at her.

Sharon understood and then sat down.

After a while, Evan observed his daughter for a moment and casually mentioned to his wife, "At three this afternoon, my second brother’s family is leaving. You should go see them off."

"Okay." Sharon nodded, having gotten along well with Fiona Calton over these years, they were good sisters.

With them leaving now, she should indeed go bid farewell.

As Raine quietly ate her breakfast, her eyes paused slightly.

She already figured it out last night, and didn’t plan to continue blaming Lily.

The reason she hadn’t directly said was to find out what happened to Lily at the masquerade ball, making her so strange and now refusing to tell her.

No matter what, it must be something significant.

While pondering, her phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Raine instinctively thought it was Lily calling, but picking up, she found it was an unknown number.

Her water-like eyes focused slightly, and she answered the call.

A sharp and cutting voice came from the other end; it was Candace Ford.

"Raine Sinclair, I heard you’re marrying Leon Grant? The wedding is on the third of next month?"

Raine’s first thought was: this guy changed her phone number again?

Looking up, she saw her parents still eating, and not wanting them to worry, she got up to take the call outside.

Neither Evan nor Sharon found it odd, as their daughter, since taking over Sinclair Group, had a lot of business and her own circle of friends, making it normal for her to have things she couldn’t share with them.

Once in the yard, Raine gently smiled and asked back, "I didn’t expect you to be so interested in my affairs?"

"Not really interested, but who wouldn’t be when you’re getting married on the same day as me? It’s hard not to think you’re deliberately provoking me."

Candace spoke in a vaguely eerie tone.

"You’re overthinking it, I don’t waste time on irrelevant people." Raine sneered.

Originally, she didn’t want to bother with this woman, but...

As things stood, the girl wouldn’t call for no reason.

While pondering, she heard Candace speak again.

"However... your first marriage ended quickly, and you’re being so careless with your second one? Are you sure Leon Grant really loves you?"

"What do you mean?" Raine raised an eyebrow.

Candace laughed gleefully, "Not much, just a friendly reminder. Don’t mistake picking up trash for a treasure. Leon Grant isn’t as simple as you think."

Earlier, she wanted Raine to marry Leon Grant, so that once it was done, Jonas Hawthorne couldn’t back out.

But now, she’s having a wedding on the same day, clearly trying to steal her thunder!

"Is that so? I wonder if you know something or just want to sow discord?" Raine probed further, "Or could it be you’re just jealous I can still marry well in my second marriage? So you’re deliberately calling to show off?"

Provoked by Raine, Candace’s emotions surged immediately, "Jealous of you? Ha, Raine Sinclair, don’t forget, between us, I’m the winner! Jonas Hawthorne is about to marry me while you... for life, will merely be the abandoned wife thrown out by her husband!"

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn’t taken the scumbag, how would I have met my true love? You don’t know how much Leon Grant loves me, he..."

"Enough! I thought you were just dumb, didn’t expect you to be so stupid!" Candace couldn’t listen any longer and cut Raine off. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

And that was exactly what Raine wanted.

She curled her pink lips slightly and said, "Then tell me, how am I stupid?"

This woman keeps bringing up Leon Grant, does she really know something?

Soon, Candace spoke in a peculiar tone, "You’re pregnant, men only want certain things! See it for yourself!"

With that, Raine’s phone vibrated again.

A video message showed.

The cover was dark, and the view wasn’t great, but it was clear it was inside a hotel room.

Just seeing this, Raine paused and didn’t open the video for a long time.

Hearing the call wasn’t hung up, Candace sneered coldly, "What? Don’t even have the courage to look? Raine Sinclair, you really are a coward!"
