She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 1038: The Hawthorne Must Take Responsibility

Elias Hawthorne.

At the mention of Elias Hawthorne, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

"That’s right, we can ask Elias to come back. We’re all well aware of President Hawthorne’s capabilities. If he hadn’t suddenly left, we wouldn’t have had to select another president."

"What selecting another president? We didn’t select any new president! It was clearly Vincent Hawthorne who forced his way in. Since he’s part of The Hawthorne Family, we had to give them face and couldn’t drive him away, that’s why he was able to do as he pleased in The Hawthorne Group."

"Exactly, that’s right. Things have come to this point, and the Hawthorne Family must take responsibility!"

"Yes, exactly!"

So this proposal received everyone’s support.

The board members didn’t bother to hold a meeting; instead, they all boarded cars and grandly headed for The Hawthorne Villa.

When they arrived, Raina North was video chatting with three little ones.

Upon hearing the intention of The Hawthorne Group’s shareholders, Raina felt as if she was hallucinating.

Raina was very surprised, "You want Elias Hawthorne to continue serving as the president of The Hawthorne Group?"

"Not to continue serving as president; Elias was always The Hawthorne Group’s president and a shareholder. Now that such a big issue has arisen within The Hawthorne Group, President Hawthorne must come out to preside over the overall situation."

Raina nodded, indicating she understood, and pointedly said, "So, you guys can’t handle it, and now you want to dump the mess onto Elias Hawthorne?"

"..."

Though that’s exactly the case, why does it sound so unpleasant when put that way?

However, it didn’t matter; they had thick skins.

Mainly, they needed to be thick-skinned; otherwise, they would suffer financially.

So the board members smiled and said, "Young Mistress Hawthorne, we indeed made mistakes this time, but we really have no other choice. We promise to support President Hawthorne in the future and never let such a slip occur again. Please give us a chance."

Regarding these words, Raina chose to reserve her judgment. After all, it’s rare to find anyone in this world who retains their integrity in the face of money, and none of those present are among them.

"I understand your intentions, but I’m really sorry, Elias isn’t here."

"No worries, we can wait."

Raina glanced at them and said, "What I mean is, he’s not in Southgate, and I don’t know when he’ll be back. So, if you all wish for him to step out and continue his role as president, I’m afraid it can’t be done at the moment."

Upon hearing Raina’s words, the expressions of the board members instantly changed.

Just as they were about to speak, they heard the voice of a servant greeting someone at the door. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Welcome home, Big Young Master."

Everyone turned to look and saw a tall and upright young man appearing at the doorway.

The young man had an extremely handsome face, a calm and steady demeanor, exuding a noble air with every move.

Who could this be if not Elias Hawthorne?

The board members glanced at Elias Hawthorne, then swept their gaze to Raina, seemingly full of reproach.

Raina: "..."

If she said she also didn’t know Elias Hawthorne would suddenly appear now, would they believe her?

Following Elias Hawthorne in, Quinn Thorne seemed a bit surprised by the scene, "Director Chandler? Director Warren? And Director Lawrence... why are you all here? You’ve gathered like this, it can’t be to celebrate the New Year, right? Well, that’s still quite a ways off. Surely you’re not here to cause trouble, because I have to warn you, I’ve gotten even better with my skills. If your faces end up swollen, don’t cry."
