Chapter 128: Chapter 128
However, Julian Hawthorne’s expression was extremely cold.
Helen Hale’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Julian, it was Paige Sterling who said something to you, right? You mustn’t listen to her sow discord. I really didn’t mean to hurt her. I just wanted to talk to her. I just wanted her to leave you. I just wanted you to come back to me, that’s all..." Thıs content belongs to 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
Now disfigured and disabled, she doesn’t even have the capital to compete with Paige Sterling.
If she can’t even win Julian Hawthorne’s sympathy, what will she do in the future?
"All these years, there haven’t been any women by your side. I know your heart actually has me in it. Paige Sterling is just your consolation when you’re bored. I don’t care, but I’m back now, Julian. How can you still be entangled with her? I just wanted to make things clear to her so she understands her place in your heart and takes a hint, that’s all. I never intended to hurt her, but she’s driven me to this, so cruel and ruthless..."
Julian Hawthorne’s expression was cold, "Her ruthlessness is only towards people like you."
Helen Hale stared at him blankly, "People like me?"
Julian Hawthorne, "People who disgust me."
Helen Hale shook her head, "No, it’s not like that..."
Recently, Helen Hale has faced lots of setbacks, and now Julian Hawthorne’s words are like steel needles piercing into her heart, shattering all her defenses.
She suddenly realized that if a man truly held you in his heart, how could he hurt you when you’re already sad and in pain?
Julian Hawthorne really didn’t have her in his heart—not only that, but he was utterly disgusted by her, treated her like a pest.
Paige Sterling crippled Helen Hale’s body, but Julian Hawthorne utterly crushed Helen Hale’s spirit.
She’s just a woman; Julian Hawthorne needn’t go to such extremes for a woman.
But just thinking about this woman making a move against Paige Sterling, thinking about what if Paige Sterling didn’t have the ability to protect herself, what would have happened to her? Now, he dreams at night, and his dreams are filled with Paige Sterling’s despairing and pained expressions.
Thirty minutes later, Henry Hale arrived at the hospital room, seeing Helen Hale in a daze, looking like she had lost her soul, he asked the caretaker, "Who was here just now?"
"It was Mr. Hawthorne..."
Henry Hale chased out and stopped Julian Hawthorne in the garage.
"Julian Hawthorne! My sister, in the end, just likes you. She’s utterly infatuated with you—how can you be so cruel to her?"
"She’s infatuated with me, but in the end, what does that have to do with me? What does it have to do with Beau?"
Julian Hawthorne’s expression was indifferent, "All these years, she’s been using little tricks by my side, and I’ve never held her accountable."
"But this time is different. She moved against Beau several times, and she almost hurt Beau."
"Beau is my life, my faith, never mind your sister, no one is allowed."
It was the first time Henry Hale realized that not only was Julian Hawthorne cold, but also very ruthless.
Whatever he can’t tolerate in his heart, he can not only completely ignore it, but also use the most ruthless means without mercy.
However, those he cherishes in his heart, he would protect as if they were his very life.
In the end, it’s just that his sister didn’t have the luck to win Julian Hawthorne’s heart.
And the woman whom Julian Hawthorne holds in such high regard, Henry Hale was really curious about what kind of woman Paige Sterling was.
Julian Hawthorne returned to the old Hawthorne residence, just as Old Master Hawthorne hadn’t left yet.
Listening to the conversation between him and Elder Hawthorne, Julian Hawthorne looked coldly at Old Master Hale.
"Old Master Hale, with such a scandal, I thought your Hale Family would cover it up. I didn’t expect your behavior, Old Master Hale, to be so beyond my expectations, that you’d dare come here openly demanding justice?"
Julian Hawthorne’s words were even less polite than Old Master Hawthorne’s.
Old Master Hale suddenly stood up,
"Julian Hawthorne, you..."
"Old Master Hale, my wife is kind. If it were up to me, I would have killed her directly.
Isn’t it ridiculous to call it kindness when someone is beaten to disability?
Old Master Hale asked angrily, "Is it that you want to go against our Hale Family for a woman?"
However, after saying this, he remembered that Paige Sterling’s status wasn’t simple either. She was the eldest daughter of the Sterling Family; Julian Hawthorne couldn’t go against the Sterling Family over something either.
Yet Julian Hawthorne could totally manage to please both the Sterling Family and the Hale Family, but his current attitude showed he didn’t take the Hale Family into account at all.
Old Master Hale had never thought that Julian Hawthorne completely didn’t need to please the Hale Family.
He was only pleasing Jared Sullivan, because Jared Sullivan was Paige Sterling’s father, and nothing more.
"I advise Old Master Hale to manage your descendants well. Should there be a next time, it won’t be my wife taking action. My methods, Old Master Hale should be quite familiar with."
Old Master Hale couldn’t say anything at this moment.
If Old Master Hawthorne’s attitude was a bit vague earlier, then Julian Hawthorne’s attitude now was very clear.
Old Master Hale felt a wave of powerlessness.
If Paige Sterling really were just an ordinary person, their Hale Family could easily get rid of her.
But Paige Sterling’s identity affects many interests, and now with Helen Hale being beaten like that by Paige Sterling, their Hale Family could only swallow their anger. It was infuriating to think about it. When has their Hale Family ever been wronged ?
Old Master Hale left the Hawthorne residence in a rage.
However, the more troublesome issue wasn’t on Paige Sterling’s side, but with the Chambers Family.
The Chambers Family wasn’t as money-driven as Paige Sterling and did actually file a lawsuit against Helen Hale.
Now it’s well-known nationwide that Helen Hale was heartless enough to even kidnap a child.
The Hale Family was once again pushed into the limelight.
However, no matter what happens to the Hale Family, Paige Sterling couldn’t care less.
That day, when she arrived at the company parking lot, she had just parked her car and saw Simon Hawthorne fighting with a man.
Remarkably, Simon Hawthorne couldn’t even win against that man and was being pressed to the ground and beaten.
Paige Sterling felt a bit embarrassed, got out of the car, and quickly walked over.
Simon Hawthorne shouted, "Sister-in-law, help me! He’s a thief!"
Paige Sterling swung her fist right away, and Simon Hawthorne quickly crawled to the side to watch.
At this moment, Henry Hale was also sitting in the car, watching Paige Sterling hold the thief by the foot and brutally drag him away. The thief crashed into a car and a speed bump, leaving him bloody and miserable.
Henry Hale suddenly believed that Paige Sterling hadn’t directly killed his sister, maybe because she really was merciful.
The thief was already in despair, "Heroine, please spare me, I know I was wrong, I’ll surely reform my ways from now on, please let me go..."
Simon Hawthorne swallowed hard and asked Paige Sterling, "Sister-in-law, aren’t you being too brutal?"
Paige Sterling, "Am I? How about next time I see you getting beaten, I’ll just ignore it and let you get beaten to death."
"No, no, sister-in-law, how about you go upstairs first, and I’ll call the police to take him to the station?"
He suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for the thief.
It’s really tough being a thief, since you might run into someone like his sister-in-law any time.
