She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart Chapter 240: Not Worthy to Step Foot in the Hawthorne Family

Raina’s eyes lit up: "Anya!"

She quickly walked over and embraced the young woman.

This woman’s na was Anya Forrest, and she had been Raina’s good friend for many years, as well as the godmother to Casper and Shea.

Ever since Shea debuted and beca a child star, Anya had quit her job to beco Shea’s manager, handling various affairs for her.

Before she could even exchange pleasantries with Raina, Anya urgently inquired about Shea’s situation.

"Shea is doing well. You didn’t have to co back just for her," Anya had a complex feeling towards Southgate; she hadn’t even ntioned it in years, let alone visited it. Now she returned for Shea.

Raina was worried that Anya would feel sad.

Anya knew what Raina was concerned about, but there are so things you just have to face, and so grievances need to be understood.

She suppressed the emotions stirring inside her and deliberately said, "You’re all grown-up now, still jealous of Shea, how mature."

Raina humd proudly, "How mature could I be? I’m still a baby."

"Alright, alright, Baby Raina."

The two joked around for a while, then Anya leaned on the car window, looking at the bustling traffic outside: "Southgate has changed so much over the years. I still rember when we left, this place was just fields, and now it’s so bustling."

"Yeah, ever since The Hawthorne Group moved its headquarters back to Southgate, the city has transford rapidly."

ntioning The Hawthorne Family, Anya rembered sothing and pressed further: "Raina, be honest, what’s going on between you and Elias Hawthorne?"

"Nothing much, just an accident." Raina casually explained the situation.

Anya replied, "Listening to you, I suddenly feel like Claire North isn’t that bad."

Raina glanced over, "You must be misunderstanding."

Claire North isn’t bad? From the ss she’s made, where does one see she’s not bad?

"Of course, from the fact that she arranged for you to marry Elias Hawthorne." Anya winked at her, smiling ambiguously: "Elias Hawthorne is young and handso, and he’s the current Family Head of The Hawthorne Family. Although he has a son, his son likes you too. What’s rare is that even picky Casper likes Elias Hawthorne. So it all looks pretty good."

Raina snorted coldly, "It’s not that Casper likes Elias Hawthorne; he likes Elias Hawthorne’s billion-dollar assets. He wants to be the little prince of The Hawthorne Family."

"That billion-dollar asset is part of who Elias Hawthorne is. Without it, how would Elias be Elias? So it doesn’t matter what Casper likes about him; what’s important is that Casper likes him and you like him too."

Raina, as if scorched, said: "When did I like him?"

Anya looked at her: "If you really didn’t feel anything for him, you wouldn’t have let Shea and Casper live with The Hawthorne Family. Don’t explain it to ; you should know that all explanations are just cover-ups."

Raina fell silent, and after a while, said, "There could never be anything between Elias Hawthorne and . Under no circumstances would I want a man who has slept with Claire North. Just the thought of it makes uncomfortable. To be honest, even if you weren’t coming back to Southgate, I would have taken the kids and left soon."

"That’s the best." Anya imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.

Raina saw this and couldn’t help but smile: "You’re really worried about , huh."

"Of course. Ever since I found out you were involved with Elias Hawthorne, I’ve been worried. Elias is great, but that’s exactly the problem. A man like him, who holds the world in his palm and is as noble as an emperor, is only to be admired from a distance, not suitable for a lifeti together."
