Under the final blow from Xander Lawson, he let out a muffled grunt and completely fell to the ground.
After all, he had been her bodyguard for a long ti, Stella Hawthorne could no longer hold back and stepped forward to stop the butler’s hand.
"Uncle Butler, stop, don’t hit him anymore."
She stepped forward to help Xander Lawson up, tears streaming down her face.
Xander Lawson opened his eyes slightly, seeing Stella Hawthorne holding him, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth before he passed out.
Stella Hawthorne cried out loudly in distress.
"Xander, are you alright?"
At this mont, Warren Hawthorne stepped out, "Okay, let’s get him sent down first, don’t let sothing happen in our Hawthorne Family, take Xander Lawson to the guest room, let the family doctor co."
The servants ca up and carried Xander Lawson away, Stella Hawthorne, sowhat worried, followed them.
Seeing her like this, the Hawthorne mother wanted to scold her, but was unexpectedly stopped by Warren Hawthorne.
He looked at Eleanor Sterling and said gently, "I’m sorry you had to see this."
Eleanor Sterling didn’t know what to say, so she just nodded, "I’ll go check on Stella."
After speaking, she stood up and walked in the direction where Stella Hawthorne had just left.
In the guest room.
Xander Lawson lay on the bed, already awake again, but his face didn’t look too good.
Stella Hawthorne stood by, wiping her tears, clenching her teeth, "Why did you tell my parents?"
Otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened.
"It was the young master who found out." Xander Lawson said softly.
He just admitted conveniently, thinking this way he could be with Stella Hawthorne, but he underestimated the gap in status.
In the eyes of such wealthy families like the Hawthorne Family, he was like a lowly ant.
Seeing the two talking, Eleanor Sterling simply withdrew, she walked back into the living room, but heard Warren Hawthorne and the Hawthorne mother arguing.
"Let it go? How can you let it go! That kind of low-status person tarnished Stella, and you don’t plan to pursue it?"
Warren Hawthorne was silent, not speaking.
The Hawthorne mother, extrely angry, spoke, "You don’t care about your own daughter at all.
Don’t think I don’t know, you’re still hung up on Jeanette Jennings!
It’s been over twenty years, what’s so good about her? You still can’t let go!"
"Don’t talk nonsense." Warren Hawthorne frowned, "Why bring up old grievances."
"Ha, old grievances?" The Hawthorne mother fud with anger, "Don’t think I don’t know what you did at the dical school.
That woman’s illegitimate daughter is in the dical school, isn’t she? You even gave her a sum of money to let her buy things at an auction.
Didn’t marry the mother, now you’re setting your sights on the daughter?
If that’s the case, I might as well vacate my position early!"
Warren Hawthorne’s face beca serious, "You are the head matriarch of the Hawthorne Family, don’t speak so rashly, it will ruin others’ reputations."
Hearing Warren Hawthorne still defending, the Hawthorne mother beca even more furious, she suddenly stood up from the sofa.
"Did I say anything wrong? You even helped her get into dical school, can you go to such lengths for a stranger, could she be your illegitimate daughter?"
Facing the aggressive Hawthorne mother, Warren Hawthorne’s expression turned cold and displeased, he said in a deep voice, "How did the conversation beco more and more ridiculous."
The Hawthorne mother sneered, mocking, "For so many years you’ve been pining for that woman, who knows if you two didn’t do sothing behind my back back then."
When ntioning the past, a hint of pain flashed through Warren Hawthorne’s eyes, as if a sore spot had been touched.
"Enough, don’t bring up the past again, Jeanette was once my fiancée, now I look after her daughter and there’s nothing wrong with that, don’t overthink it."
The Hawthorne mother huffed, clearly still holding anger in her chest, "I don’t care, anyway, you better resolve Stella’s matter properly, I absolutely won’t let that kid ruin Stella."
