Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 83: I Don’t Want to See Her Suffer Like This Again!
Raine Sinclair sat atop the high stage, her pale, delicate face almost expressionless.
What Henry Chambers said was indeed the truth.
Leon Grant noticed her silence, but instead of arguing with Henry, he called Easton Yancy over, "Ask security to throw him out."
Easton Yancy glanced at Raine Sinclair after hearing this, "Ms. Sinclair, this..."
"Wait a moment." Raine Sinclair gave a negative answer and then stood up.
Leon Grant guessed she was going to speak and added, "You don’t have to pay attention to it."
Raine Sinclair knew this, but Henry Chambers was not like Gavin Lewis, a paper tiger; this man had a bit of reputation in Sedonia.
Usually, it was best not to provoke him, but since things had already started to stir up, if it couldn’t end well, it might sow the seeds of disaster for the future.
Thinking thus, Raine Sinclair looked at Henry Chambers below the stage.
Approximately 1.7 meters in height, his face almost lacked flesh, his cheekbones soaring high, deep and sunken eye sockets — just looking at his face, it was clear he was not a good person.
"Mr. Chambers, if you’re unhappy with the results, you can find another company to cooperate with. There’s no need for personal attacks, right?"
Her elegant brows raised slightly, Raine Sinclair was also unwilling to show weakness.
Leon Grant, behind her, fixed his gaze on her rear as she fearlessly advanced and suddenly recalled a saying:
Women are no weaker than men.
At first sight of her, he thought she was just a fragile girl.
Later, she took Candace Ford to the hospital, worrying her kindness would lead to her being bullied. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Unexpectedly, beneath such a tender and beautiful exterior grew such a strong, kind heart!
Her benevolence had an edge to it.
It was precisely this almost magical woman that Leon Grant really couldn’t understand; was Jonas Hawthorne truly blind?
Or perhaps, they were destined never to be together in this lifetime?
If it were indeed the case, then don’t blame him for stepping in later.
As he pondered, Henry Chambers below the stage angrily cursed again, "What personal attacks? What I said is the truth! Everyone here can hear, right? What you don’t dare to say, I’ll say! I’m not afraid of offending this woman! She’s just relying on her father’s little abilities to strut around here! Acting all mighty! When the Hawthorne Family kicked her out, she looked like a stray dog; no matter how well you develop in the future, you’ll always carry this stain!"
Henry Chambers was extremely emotional, and coupled with his already bad reputation for holding grudges, confronting him head-on would likely bring nothing but trouble going forward!
So the audience mostly remained silent, none looking to get involved.
Leo Keane was bold enough to open his mouth intending to say something, but remembering how his previous words inadvertently fueled Henry’s anger, he decided maybe it was best to keep quiet for now...
For a moment, silence fell upon the audience.
The crowd’s silence seemed to further confirm Henry Chamber’s words.
When they next looked at Raine Sinclair on stage, their gazes had changed.
Some were sympathetic, some pitiful, and others contemptuous.
Human nature is inherently complicated and volatile; beyond personal interests, doesn’t everyone harbor a bit of spite in their hearts?
Finn Wyatt scanned the silent scene and turned to mock Jonas Hawthorne beside him.
"Look, some people only care about their own enjoyment and freedom, doing whatever they want without considering the trouble their actions bring to those around them.
Lately, Raine Sinclair must have heard a lot of such things, both openly and covertly—how did such a young woman manage to endure all this?"
Each word pierced Jonas Hawthorne’s heart like a steel needle!
The pain was suffocating!
This time, he did not get angry again...
His gaze fixed intensely on the seemingly strong woman onstage, but his heart was filled with endless sorrow and pity.
He never imagined that their divorce would bring her so much harm...
Now watching her being questioned and mocked because of him, the pain he felt was no less than hers!
As the lines of his jaw tightened, he took a step forward, determined to go up and protect her from this humiliation!
But just as he moved, a loud voice suddenly came from the right!
"Who has the audacity to bully my precious granddaughter?!"
The forcefulness of the voice was intimidating! It even made the large advertisement screen on the square flicker for a moment!
The crowd collectively turned in shock and saw an elderly man in white Zhongshan suit standing beside a stretched Lincoln car, arms crossed, coldly watching Henry Chamber’s direction!
Someone had already recognized him, exclaiming in surprise, "It’s Chairman Jennings from Global Pictures! William Jennings!"
"Why is he here?"
"Are you stupid? He’s Sinclair Group’s in-law! Raine Sinclair is his biological granddaughter!"
"Ah? So the grandfather has come to back up the granddaughter?"
As this group finished speaking, Finn Wyatt knowingly watched Jonas Hawthorne take a step forward and remarked with deep meaning, "A woman some rushed to kick out of the house; how many people out there wish to protect her!"
Jonas Hawthorne’s gaze darkened, but his steps halted.
Because the next second, Raine Sinclair onstage already excitedly ran down, "Grandfather!"
Leon Grant noticed her movements were too hasty and hurriedly protected her, "Slow down!"
She’s pregnant and yet doesn’t know to be careful?
With the stage so high, what if she fell?
Raine Sinclair at that moment had no regard for any of this.
She hadn’t seen her grandfather in a long time!
Since childhood, every year she would go to his villa for the summer, and grandfather loved her most.
Seeing his granddaughter run joyfully toward him, the previously stern expression on William Jennings’ face instantly softened into a smile full of love.
"You little girl, still as naughty as always!"
Arriving hastily overnight, travel-worn and exhausted, but hearing his granddaughter call out "Grandfather" made all the fatigue disappear entirely!
As if all the hardships and tiredness were worth it!
Raine Sinclair threw herself into her grandfather’s arms, smiling like a child, "Grandfather, why are you here?"
William Jennings affectionately patted her head, "Of course, I came to see my precious granddaughter! Didn’t expect to hear someone bullying you just as I stepped out of the car?"
The previous sentence was soft enough to wring out water, but with the latter portion, his tone dramatically dropped, casting from heaven into hell, cold to the bone!
Even the previously pompous Henry Chambers, upon seeing the Jennings family’s old man arrive, had his arrogance snuffed out, standing dumbfounded in place, quite at a loss.
William Jennings coldly stared at him but directed his words to Raine Sinclair, "Raine, tell grandfather what happened."
With each word, Henry Chamber’s complexion turned paler!
