Chapter 423: Chapter 423

"Your son’s so-called heroic rescue, you arranged that, didn’t you?"

Mrs. Hawthorne might not have liked young societal misfits at first, but if someone continuously beautifies them in her ear, talking about rebellion as personality, even if she initially only rated them a five, it could rise to a ten, enticing her to pursue true love like a moth to flame.

"So you stayed by Mrs. Hawthorne’s side to stir up resentment among the Upton Family, Sterling Family, Hawthorne Family, Chambers Family, right?"

"Why do you want to incite feuds among them?"

Nanny Sawyer remained silent.

But even if she didn’t speak, Paige could still dig traps to make her talk, "Because it’s a task your lover gave you, right? Because he’s short on money and these families don’t give in?"

Nanny Sawyer opened her mouth wide, staring blankly at Paige, "You know everything, why do you know everything?"

Paige smiled, "If you want no one to know, don’t do it, right? Isn’t it particularly kind of me to be asking you politely now? If you got to the police, they wouldn’t be as gentle as I am..."

At this moment, Paige completely shattered her psychological defenses, and in the end, Nanny Sawyer almost answered whatever Paige asked.

Meanwhile, Julian Hawthorne was recording it all on his phone, it was evidence.

To talk about the purpose of Nanny Sawyer instigating the feud between the families, Paige had probably already guessed it.

Since Nanny Sawyer was also related to that research institution, doesn’t research require money? If they need money, naturally, they would want to recruit some wealthy sponsors.

Back then, these families were not suitable for recruitment, and those suitable were not wealthy enough, so they naturally needed to strike against these families to let those willing to sponsor them rise to power. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N()velFire.net

See, one societal misfit successfully caused the decline of the Upton Family, and enmity between the Hawthorne Family, Sterling Family, and Chambers Family, with the Hale Family and The Tell Group being the most famous families rising to power at this time.

So it’s not unreasonable that The Tell Group was being investigated.

In the end, there was nothing more Paige could get out of Nanny Sawyer.

Nanny Sawyer was dazed, she looked pleadingly at Paige, "Miss, I’ve told you everything, can’t you let me go? I’ll leave the country immediately, disappearing from your sight, and never come back to trouble you..."

Paige shook her head, "How could that be possible? I’m a law-abiding citizen, if I knowingly let a criminal go free, wouldn’t that be letting the tiger return to the mountain?"

Nanny Sawyer collapsed, "What do you want then?"

Paige said, "Don’t worry, I won’t send you to the police, I’ll take you to the station."

Then suddenly, there was a knock on the door that startled Nanny Sawyer.

The door opened, several police officers walked in and asked Julian Hawthorne, "Mr. Hawthorne, are you the one who called us?"

Julian nodded, "Yes, this maid stole some things from us."

Nanny Sawyer widened her eyes, staring at Julian Hawthorne in disbelief, weren’t they going to accuse her of poisoning?

The officer asked, "Mr. Hawthorne, can you tell us what she stole?"

"Some of my wife’s research materials."

The police took it very seriously right away, Paige’s research materials were no small matter, they immediately started investigating.

Julian pointed to the food on the table, "She also drugged the dishes, intending to knock us out."

The police immediately collected evidence.

Just as the police were about to take Nanny Sawyer away from Silverstream Bay, Mrs. Hawthorne arrived.

Paige asked, "Auntie, why are you here?"

Paige glanced at Nanny Sawyer, who lowered her head.

Paige laughed, did Nanny Sawyer think Mrs. Hawthorne could protect her?

Mrs. Hawthorne angrily said, "If I hadn’t come, would you really send Nanny Sawyer to the police? I never thought you couldn’t even tolerate one Nanny Sawyer, accusing her of stealing!"

Paige innocently said, "Auntie, I didn’t falsely accuse her, you can ask her yourself."

Then Paige turned to Nanny Sawyer, "Nanny Sawyer, tell us, did you steal anything?"

Paige’s look was inscrutably amused, Nanny Sawyer didn’t dare meet her gaze.

She knew that today, it was either the police station or the police that would take her away, so she naturally had to bear all Paige’s accusations.

"Yes, I stole the lady’s things."

Mrs. Hawthorne widened her eyes at Nanny Sawyer, "Nanny Sawyer!"

Didn’t she just plead for help? Why was she admitting it now?

Mrs. Hawthorne’s gaze fell on Paige once more.

"You must have forced Nanny Sawyer! Nanny Sawyer would never steal, you evil woman! You just want to get rid of everyone around me, to turn me into a solitary one, just as vicious as your father!"

Paige didn’t speak and sat to the side.

Seeing Julian Hawthorne still negotiating with the police, Mrs. Hawthorne stepped forward and said, "Sorry, officers, it’s just a family quarrel, nothing was stolen, sorry for the trouble, please leave."

But the police didn’t leave, "Ms. Hawthorne, sorry, Miss Sterling isn’t an ordinary person. Her research materials being stolen is no small matter. We’re not leaving without taking the suspect."

Mrs. Hawthorne gritted her teeth; Nanny Sawyer was her last loyal person, and she couldn’t let her be taken away.

Mrs. Hawthorne turned to Paige again, threatening, "You’d better tell the police Nanny Sawyer didn’t steal anything. Do you hear me! If you dare falsely accuse her, I’ll make you leave the Hawthorne family!"

"Nanny Sawyer admitted it herself, the police aren’t fools; do you think what I say is the absolute truth?"

Mrs. Hawthorne realized Paige gave her no face at all, seeming unafraid of her threats, which left her gnashing her teeth in anger, looking at Julian Hawthorne.

"Julian, do you even regard me as your mother? Seeing your wife treat your mother ?"

Julian looked at her with his piercing eyes, "Are you serious?"

Mrs. Hawthorne was confused, "What?"

Julian said expressionlessly, "If you’re serious with your question, my response is no."

Mrs. Hawthorne almost fainted in anger, "You unfilial son, you..."

Mrs. Hawthorne reached out to slap Julian, but Paige intercepts her hand, not letting her touch him.

"Auntie, there are police here, don’t act recklessly, after all, Julian isn’t a child anymore, and you, you’re old."

The subtext was blatant, in a real fight, you couldn’t possibly take on Julian.

Although Mrs. Hawthorne’s past actions were influenced by Nanny Sawyer’s incitement and drugs, if it wasn’t in her nature, how could drugs and others’ goading be effective?

The drugs merely amplified the destructive impact of her actions.

So Mrs. Hawthorne still didn’t deserve forgiveness.

Mrs. Hawthorne pointed at Paige and Julian, "You unfilial beings!"

Paige didn’t understand her mindset; what she did wasn’t becoming of a mother, yet she demanded the utmost respect from her juniors, expecting unreserved compliance.

Nanny Sawyer then pinned all her hopes on Mrs. Hawthorne, even if admitting to stealing, she didn’t want to be taken for investigation.

She looked pitifully and helplessly at Mrs. Hawthorne, "Madam, help me..."

Seeing the police about to take Nanny Sawyer away, Mrs. Hawthorne ran over to block them.

"No, you can’t take Nanny Sawyer away!"

Mrs. Hawthorne held onto Nanny Sawyer, preventing the police from taking her, "You can’t take her, she’s a Hawthorne, don’t you hear that??"

Regardless of the family, a suspect is a suspect, and the police were to take her.

Seeing Mrs. Hawthorne still blocking them, the police remained steadfast, "Ms. Hawthorne, if you obstruct us, we’ll take you for interfering with our duties."

Mrs. Hawthorne didn’t want to go there, with no one from the Hawthorne family caring about her if she went, wouldn’t it just be playing into Paige and Julian’s hands?

In the end, she reluctantly let go, making a promise to Nanny Sawyer, "Nanny Sawyer, don’t worry, as long as you didn’t do it, I’ll find a way to get you out..."

But Nanny Sawyer knew Mrs. Hawthorne had no leverage over Julian, so what could she do?
