Chapter 138 Clean Break

If not for the Hart family’s business ties with Victor, Richard would not have involved himself at all. There was no benefit in offending Elena and risking conflict with the Kingsleys.

Elena tilted her head slightly and smiled without warmth. “So you’re here for Hawthorne Group after all. The report is already published, and it states facts. Victor broke the law. Deleting an article doesn’t erase a crime.”

Catherine scoffed. “You just don’t want to delete it. You’re jealous that Camille and Nathan are together. Five years and you still couldn’t make him love you. That’s on you.”

“It wasn’t even that big of a deal,” she continued sharply. “Did you really have to broadcast it to the entire country?”

Elena had long since stopped expecting fairness from them, yet hearing those words still cut deeper than she cared to admit. She leaned back slightly in her chair.

“You’re right,” she said evenly. “I don’t want to delete it. What are you going to do about it?”

Catherine had not expected her to admit it so directly. “Are you deleting it or not?”

“No. He deserves the consequences.”

“You ungrateful—”

Catherine stepped forward as if to grab her. Noah and Liam moved in unison, blocking her path.

“Remove them,” Elena instructed calmly.

The two men began ushering Richard and Catherine away. Curious patients and nurses peeked out from nearby rooms, whispering.

Richard’s pride finally snapped. “Elena, I’ve tried speaking nicely. If you refuse to listen to your mother and me, then from this day forward, don’t set foot in the Hart house again.”

“That’s right,” Catherine added coldly. “We’ll consider ourselves childless.”

Elena’s face paled for a brief second. Catherine mistook it for weakness.

Elena’s adoptive parents were gone. The Hawthorne family had cast her aside. Where else could she go? Surely she would not abandon her status as a Hart over spite.

For a moment, Elena did feel something fracture inside her. She had once longed for their affection.

Then she looked at them clearly.

She began to laugh, tears spilling down despite the sound.

“What’s so funny?” Catherine demanded.

“Go to the police station and fix this,” Catherine pressed on. “Then apologize to Camille. She’s pregnant

She wiped her face quickly. “Who’s crying? Think of it as draining excess water from my brain.”
