Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 60: Keep Your Woman in Line
Raine Sinclair was slightly taken aback.
Despite Candace Ford’s frail and thin appearance, she surprisingly had quite a bit of strength in her hands?
And moreover...
She actually grabbed me with her left hand?
A lefty?
Raine blinked, suddenly recalling that when she saw Sean Ford this morning, he was also using his left hand to write and drink tea?
And what’s more amazing is, they both have the surname Ford?
Is it really possible for there to be so many coincidences in the world?
While Raine was lost in thought, Candace Ford’s voice echoed in her ears again.
"Raine Sinclair, I thought you had the sense to disappear from Jonas’s sight entirely after the divorce, but I can’t believe you’re still trying every trick to show up in front of him? Do you have no shame?"
Her words came one after another, sharp and biting, incredibly vicious.
Raine snapped back to reality, stared intently at the woman in front of her, who was so thin she was almost unrecognizable, with sunken eyes, and suddenly felt quite baffled. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
How can someone be so shameless?
"Ms. Ford, if I remember correctly, you’re the one who stole someone else’s husband, right? And who is the shameless one here? May I ask what right you have to speak to me like this?"
Raine was angry, she yanked her hand back forcefully, "And, I’ve said it before, what I’ve thrown away, you can have! Don’t bother me!"
"You! I don’t believe it! You used to like Jonas so much, you must be thinking about winning him back, right?" Candace wouldn’t relent, entangled persistently, completely ignoring what Raine said, lost in her own world.
Facing this situation, Raine only felt a headache coming on.
Not wanting to waste more time with Candace, Raine turned around directly and looked distantly at Jonas Hawthorne, who was still in front of the ancestral hall.
"Could you please control your woman!"
Jonas Hawthorne’s dark eyes deepened slightly, also noticing the tension between the two, he looked towards Candace, "Enough."
"Jonas, I..." Candace’s aggrieved expression immediately appeared.
Raine couldn’t be bothered with her, took the opportunity to turn around and got into the car.
Seeing Raine leave, Silas Linton then turned back to look at Jonas Hawthorne, "You should go in too, what’s so interesting about a mad woman?"
She thought Jonas was still looking at Candace, so she dragged him into the ancestral hall.
Once inside, she didn’t forget to close the door...
It was obvious she didn’t want Candace to come in.
This infuriated Candace!
"You dead old hag! Just wait until I marry into the Hawthorne Family, see how I deal with you then!"
Grinding her teeth and stomping her feet, Candace stood there, glancing around, and seeing no one was disturbing her, she took out her phone eagerly and dialed a number.
"Beep... beep..."
After two rings, the call was answered.
Candace eagerly called out, "Second Uncle?"
"It’s me." The other person answered quickly, sounding slightly surprised, "What’s the matter for you to call in such a hurry?"
"It’s nothing, I just wanted to ask how things are going with the matter I mentioned?" Candace clenched her hands tightly, nervous.
"You still don’t trust Second Uncle’s work?" The man chuckled proudly, as if everything was within his grasp, "I’ve already told Raine Sinclair she needs two guarantors, she definitely wouldn’t go to Jonas Hawthorne, leaving only Finn Wyatt. Just wait, to get the loan, she will definitely look for Finn Wyatt in a day or two."
The person on the other end of the phone was indeed Sean Ford.
In the whole of Sedonia, not many knew he was Candace’s second uncle.
The Ford Family, tracing back three generations, was somewhat famous in Sedonia, but the descendants were getting worse with each generation, gradually declining.
By Candace’s grandfather’s generation, it was utterly absurd. He married someone, yet kept others outside, even had an illegitimate child, who was Sean Ford.
It wasn’t anything honorable to begin with, and with the legitimate wife at home making a huge fuss at the time, Sean Ford couldn’t enter the family register, and not many even knew of his existence.
But even so, Sean Ford still received many of the Ford resources from a young age, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to reach where he was today.
He was only about ten years older than Candace. Later when trouble struck the Ford Family, thanks to his protection, Candace survived and was sent abroad.
After all these years, he long forgot about the Ford Family’s affairs, and never thought about avenging them.
For a family that didn’t even recognize him, why put at stake everything he had painstakingly built for revenge?
Sparing Candace was already his greatest repayment to the Ford Family!
Later learning that this girl was pregnant with Jonas Hawthorne’s child, he thought maybe she could be helpful to him, which was why he granted her many conveniences.
For example... deliberately making things difficult for Raine Sinclair, setting traps for her to find Finn Wyatt.
After hearing her uncle’s words, Candace felt somewhat relieved, "That’s fantastic! Many thanks this time, Second Uncle! Rest assured, once I marry into the Hawthorne Family, I will definitely repay you well!"
Sean Ford nodded first, then asked, "Candace, tell me truthfully, what exactly are you plotting? Raine and Jonas are already divorced, and you have Jonas’s child. Listen to Second Uncle, take care of yourself, after the child is born you’ll be Mrs. Hawthorne and enjoy life well, don’t bother with other matters."
"Second Uncle, I understand your point." Candace didn’t argue, she knew her second uncle had finally attained some stability in his life, he surely didn’t want to revisit the Ford Family’s past.
But those who were burned to death back then were her biological parents and siblings!
How could she let go of this hatred?
Moreover, she had already found out early on that the Wyatt Family set that fire back then!
All these years living undercover abroad, by day appearing to lead a normal life, but only she knew, each midnight, her mind was filled with helpless cries of her family struggling and pleading amidst the flames!
How could she be at ease?
Finally seizing the opportunity, she returned to the country.
As soon as she got back, she plotted to frame Raine Sinclair and Finn Wyatt for having an affair, then found a way to get pregnant with Jonas Hawthorne’s child!
Everything now was proceeding according to her plan, how could she easily allow any changes?
Although Jonas Hawthorne had suspicions about Raine’s last betrayal for leaking secrets, she’d find a way to make Raine cross paths with Finn Wyatt again!
Then what could Jonas Hawthorne still say?
Moreover...
Lately, she felt uneasy, the marriage into the Hawthorne Family must be pushed forward.
"Second Uncle, I need one more favor from you." Candace said again.
Sean Ford raised his eyebrows, "What favor?"
"Find someone to follow Raine Sinclair, take pictures of her meeting with Finn Wyatt. Also, I need a sum of money to bribe journalists, let them spread the word that Jonas Hawthorne has set a wedding date with me."
Money wasn’t the problem, but Sean Ford was worried about Jonas Hawthorne.
"Candace, are you sure about doing it first and reporting later? From what I know, Jonas Hawthorne isn’t the type to be manipulated by women!"
He feared that going too far might backfire.
This was already a precarious move; a wrong step could lead to complete failure.
