She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 1003: It’s So Dirty

Upon hearing Raina North’s words, Jasper Hawthorne’s expression involuntarily dimmed.

The one who answered her was Aidan Lynch.

Aidan Lynch said in a low voice, "Young Madam, you must have seen it online. A major mistake occurred at the Hawthorne Group’s pharmaceutical factory, leading to the deaths of twenty people. To make matters worse, this happened while everyone was away. The families of the deceased are causing quite a commotion at the company, severely impacting Hawthorne Group’s stock. Other corporations have long coveted Hawthorne; they will definitely not pass up this golden opportunity.

At this crucial moment, Mr. Hawthorne stepped up to stabilize the situation. Following a board meeting decision, he was appointed acting CEO until President Hawthorne returns."

Aidan Lynch explained simply, glossing over the situation, as if it really were that straightforward.

It was as if Vincent Hawthorne was the loving father who stood tall at such a critical moment, as if he hadn’t been running ragged trying to save his own faction while waiting for Elias Hawthorne to return.

It was also as if Jasper Hawthorne hadn’t been driven to desperation by Susan Kensington to the point of contemplating suicide.

Raina North glanced at Aidan Lynch, unable to resist asking, "And what about you two? Have you faced any grievances during this period?"

Aidan Lynch smiled, "Not at all."

Jasper Hawthorne raised his chin proudly, "Sister-in-law, you should know who I am. It’s always me, Second Lord Hawthorne, making others suffer, not the other way around. Besides, even though Hawthorne Group is in trouble now, it still carries the Hawthorne name."

Anya Forrest glanced at them with a complex expression.

If one didn’t know the situation, judging solely from their words, it seemed they hadn’t experienced any damage beyond hearing more gossip during this period.

However, she had witnessed everything firsthand; no one understood the reality better than her.

If things were truly good, why would they have been ousted from the company?

Right after the pharmaceutical factory incident occurred, Aidan Lynch immediately led the investigation to uncover the truth, but someone always predicted his moves first.

Aidan Lynch wasn’t one to be underestimated. He quickly identified the traitor and adjusted his plan. Just as the truth was about to be revealed, Old Mrs. Hawthorne disappeared!

While everyone was focused on external issues, Susan Kensington arranged for Old Mrs. Hawthorne to be kidnapped.

Susan Kensington, originally from an ordinary family, had spent years in the entertainment industry, mingling with all sorts of people. It was unclear when she got involved with organized crime.

Although Veridia strictly regulates such activities and lacks real large-scale organizations, Wyatt Warren and his group are considered one of the few substantial organizations, doing quite well.

Wyatt Warren is audacious with plenty of means, ruthless in his ways. With Old Mrs. Hawthorne in their hands, they effectively held them at bay, forcing them to compromise.

These matters are truly filthy.

Aidan Lynch and Jasper Hawthorne concealed the facts to keep them hidden.

They simply didn’t know Raina North isn’t the type to shy away from filth.

Nonetheless, Special Assistant Lynch and Jasper had good intentions, which they understood. Moreover, now is not the time to discuss this.

Raina was initially surprised by their concealment, but soon grasped the reason.

Raina didn’t press the matter, and certainly held no grievances, just like she doesn’t disclose everything.

Reflecting on what she had seen earlier, a harsh glint flashed in Raina’s eyes.
