She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 933: The Four Most Important Women
Raina North indeed has no way to forgive Mrs. Reed, who threw the insect venom on her, but she has even less way to forgive the mastermind behind all this.
If it weren’t for that mastermind, Young Master Reed’s son wouldn’t have died.
Thinking about the tragic circumstance of Young Master Reed’s death weighed heavily in Raina’s heart.
She wasn’t someone who couldn’t see the darkness; in fact, she had experienced so many things over the years, walking through many dark times herself.
Besides, this world was never solely lit by light; wherever there were flames, there was darkness.
Yet no matter what, she couldn’t condone such things.
This wasn’t just darkness; it was brutality.
Raina looked up and asked Elias Hawthorne, "Elias, will you protect her out of your past feelings?"
Elias didn’t speak.
Raina couldn’t help but scoff, saying, "I knew you couldn’t bear to do it. But of course, which man doesn’t protect someone who truly cares for him? I understand, I totally understand."
Elias was distracted by something earlier, and upon snapping back to reality, he saw the girl in his arms behaving as if she were a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her whole demeanor was prickly.
Elias couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Laugh? What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?" Raina snapped irritably.
"Raina, in my life, there are four women I truly care for."
"Four women?" Raina reacted sharply to this, her anger swelling: "Elias, oh, so you went around attracting so many women behind my back, I really underestimated you before. Well, who are you, Elias Hawthorne? Back in Southgate, I once heard someone say, something about falling for Young Master Hawthorne for life."
Her restless stepsister once met Elias Hawthorne and dropped her fiancé of many years just to marry him, didn’t she?
Upon hearing this, Elias chuckled again, leaned closer to Raina, and took a deep breath, "Such a strong smell of jealousy."
Raina pushed him away without hesitation, "What jealousy? There’s none at all."
"Falling for Young Master Hawthorne for life, I’ve never heard of it, I’ve only heard of The Hell King Hawthorne saying he’d let you die at three in the morning, never leaving you till five."
"Oh, tempt fate and meet death."
Elias looked at Raina’s jealous face and laughed again, "The four most important women in my life are my mom, Raina, and Shea."
Raina’s expression softened a bit hearing this, yet she quickly felt something was amiss, "That’s only three. There’s one more."
"I haven’t met the other one yet." Elias placed his warm palm on Raina’s belly, smiling at her lovingly, "It depends on when you’ll give birth."
Raina slapped Elias’s hand away, "Get lost, stop being a rogue here."
She spoke angrily, but her complexion looked much better, and her brows revealed a hint of weariness.
Elias looked at Raina resting against him, gently stroking her long hair, but his gaze remained icy cold.
He absolutely wouldn’t let go of the woman who harmed Raina. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Meanwhile, at The Dark Tower Headquarters, in The Lowell Family territory.
In the bedroom.
Claire Lowell anxiously paced back and forth in the bedroom, muttering to herself, her whole demeanor tense and seeming neurotic.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Claire rushed over to answer the phone, urgently asking, "How’s it going? Did Orion Rivers die?"
"Sorry, we failed."
"What?" Claire’s voice escalated in disbelief as she heard the words from the other end, "The plan was so thorough, yet you failed. Are you pigs? No, even pigs aren’t as stupid as you! You’re even worse than pigs!"
