The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 120: Disowning One’s Own Family

Simon Hawthorne started taking advantage, choosing tis when Julian Hawthorne wasn’t around to visit Paige Sterling.

He bought a ton of lipsticks and handbags, thinking these should be enough to bribe Paige Sterling. After all, is there any woman who doesn’t like these?

Even though Paige is a bit fiercer than the average woman, she’s still a woman, right?

When Simon went, Paige was overseeing Sonny Chambers doing his howork. She glanced at him and said, "Julian is at the office, what are you doing here?"

Simon’s expression was exaggerated, as if pixelated.

"Oh dear sister-in-law, we’re family, of course I’m here to see you."

He put his stuff down and ran behind Paige, saying, "Sister-in-law, you often stay in the lab, don’t your shoulders ache? Is your spine sore? Co on, let massage you."

Paige used Sonny Chambers’ bamboo strip to smack his hand away.

"Keep away from ."

Simon imdiately hesitated to get closer, hastily unpacking the things he’d bought.

"Sister-in-law, look, these are all custom-made. This lipstick shade sells particularly well and really complents your complexion. This bag is also perfect for you..."

He rattled on with heaps of praise, almost putting Paige on a pedestal.

But Paige kept looking at him coolly, making Simon run out of things to say.

anwhile, Sonny discretely snapped a photo of Simon trying to ingratiate himself and sent it to Julian.

Paige noticed his little trick and gave him a stare.

Sonny quickly buried his head back in his howork.

After Simon rattled on so more, using almost every complentary word he could think of, Paige rubbed her temples and finally said, "I’ll accept these. Do you have any other business?"

That was a clear hint for him to leave.

Simon Hawthorne was known for his flirtatiousness.

However, Paige hadn’t seen how flirty he was, only how amusing.

Spending too much ti with soone so silly, she feared she might inadvertently beco silly too.

"Sister-in-law, do you like the things I brought?"

Paige gave a light "hmm," "It’s alright."

Although Paige didn’t particularly like these things either, to be honest, compared to Julian’s inscrutable straight-guy aesthetics, the things Simon sent were already much better.

Simon rubbed his hands together, and seeing his actions, Paige quickly said, "If you’re here to borrow money from , then forget it."

"I’m not here to borrow money, sister-in-law. Why would I borrow money from you? I know it’s not easy for you, so I’d never put you in a difficult position!"

But Paige further stated, "And let’s not talk about the hair growth ointnt either."

Simon’s expression froze for a mont, "Why, sister-in-law? This ointnt works so well, haven’t you thought about starting a company for mass production?"

Paige truly hadn’t thought about it. To be honest, she was busy enough already, no ti to consider starting a skincare company.

Making the hair growth ointnt was purely for the young fellas in the lab.

Supplying it nationwide, she’d be too swamped with work.

"I’m not interested."

She preferred staying in the lab doing black tech research. That sense of achievent was the only thing that could satisfy her.

"But I’m interested, sister-in-law. Give the formula for the hair growth ointnt, and I..."

Simon rambled, thinking it might take so effort to persuade Paige.

After all, such a formidable formula, no one would easily give it away.

To get Paige to hand it over, he promised a lot of benefits, even deciding that if he really made money from it, he’d give Paige half.

But even before he could speak, Paige nodded, "Isn’t it just a hair growth ointnt? If you want it, you can have it."

It’s just a hair growth ointnt...

Just a hair growth ointnt?

What seed so powerful in his view, was trivial in Paige’s eyes.

Simon’s expression twitched, "Sister-in-law, are you really willing to give it to ?"

Paige imdiately took a pen and started writing the formula.

Her handwriting, frankly beautiful, was such that Simon couldn’t understand, much like those legendary doctor signatures.

When she finished, Simon stared cross-eyed at it for a while, guessing and barely recognizing a few words.

"Sister-in-law, what does this say?"

"Sesa."

"And this? How about this and this..."

Paige grew annoyed, "Didn’t you go to school?"

"I did, but your handwriting is..."

Simon almost slipped up and quickly corrected himself, "Your handwriting is so good, it’s incomprehensible to commoners like !"

Sonny imdiately chid in, "I know I know, let read it for you..."

Sonny was long used to Paige’s writing. After reading, Simon sought confirmation from Paige.

"Did he get everything right, sister-in-law?"

"Yes."

Simon scratched his head, suddenly realizing that even the kids around Paige seed smarter than him.

Maybe he should hang around Paige more often?

Perhaps he could beco a bit smarter that way too.

But when he thought of Julian’s ever-watchful gaze, Simon imdiately abandoned the idea.

Rather than risk being killed by his own big brother, he’d rather remain a little silly.

After all, life isn’t easy.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! My brother is really lucky to have married you!"

With this formula, he now had an endless supply of hair growth ointnt.

He could even start his own hair growth ointnt production.

With so many bald people around the world, he thought he’d really struck gold.

Simon was delighted.

Simon was overjoyed, almost floating on air.

And just then, Julian returned.

Seeing Paige applying the lipstick shade Simon gave her, Julian’s look wasn’t too pleasant.

Simon hadn’t sensed it yet, cheerfully greeting Julian, "Hey, big brother, you’re back..."

Julian’s chilly gaze landed on him, his voice raspy, as if carrying a trace of nace.

"Have you been too idle lately?"

Simon, "...?"

No, he thought he was quite busy lately...

But seeing Julian’s eyes, he quickly understood, "Big brother, I just ca to chat with my sister-in-law..."

Why be so petty? Can’t even have a chat?

"Can’t find anyone to talk to? Want to call the entire company to keep you company?"

Simon, "...No need, big brother."

Paige ignored the verbal sparring between the two brothers, continuing to apply her lipstick.

Julian got worked up just watching.

He had bought plenty for Paige, but she never used them.

But what Julian bought, she seed to really like, hurriedly applying it.

Julian took hold of Paige’s hand, accidentally smudging the lipstick across her philtrum.

Paige, "..."

Julian felt a bit awkward, pulling Paige up gently, saying, "Let’s go to the room and I’ll wipe it off for you."

Just to wipe off lipstick, does it really require going to the room?
