Unwanted Fake Wife The Top Billionaire novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 No Turning Back

She had trusted him. That was the only reason she agreed to marry Nathan.

And in the end, five years of her life were gone.

Whenever she was wronged, he, the one who should have had her back, never stepped in. Even just now, he had stood with the Hawthorne family, with Nathan.

Walter let out a cold, sarcastic laugh. “The Hawthornes really have some nerve. Elena doesn’t need a grandpa like you.”

Charles stood there, stiff and humiliated, his already hunched posture sinking even lower. Every bit of dignity he had left seemed to shatter right here.

“Elena…” he said, his voice strained.

Elena finally spoke. “Mr. Hawthorne.”

That single line of address hit harder than anything else.

Charles’s eyes instantly turned red,

She was done.

She did not even want to call him “Grandpa” anymore.

“These past five years, thank you for looking out for me,” Elena said, her smile faint, edged with bitterness. “In the Hawthorne family, you were the only one who ever treated me like I belonged.”

She paused, her gaze steady.

“If it weren’t for Alexander, I probably wouldn’t even be here right now. What Nathan did to me and to Alexander… I can’t forgive it.”

Charles’s lips trembled. He had so much he wanted to say, but not a single word came out.

The Hawthorne family had failed her.

At this point, even if she said she wanted Nathan dead, he would understand.

After a long silence, Charles finally spoke.

“Elena, take care of yourself.”

He turned, leaning on his cane, and slowly walked away.

Elena watched his frail figure disappear down the hallway, a dull ache spreading through her chest,

Once, she had truly believed the Hawthorne family was her home.

That they were her family.

Now everything was different. And all of it had been ruined by Nathan.

Walter stepped closer and gently patted her shoulder. “Kid, you’ve got us. The Kingsley family is your home

now.”

“Thank you. Grandpa. Elena said, giving him a small, grateful smile.

She turned, about to head back to her room.

Suddenly, her vision spun. Everything went black.

“Elena!” Walter shouted.

The world collapsed into darkness..

Charles had just returned to the hospital room when Victoria followed him in, still going on and on.

“Dad. Nathan is your grandson. You’re really just going to let him be treated like this? And what is wrong with the Kingsley family? They’re actually backing a woman like Elena…

“Enough!”

Charles snapped, one hand clutching his chest, the other pointing straight at Victoria. His whole body trembled with anger.

“You still have the nerve to say that? That’s your son. You raised him into this, and instead of reflecting, all you do is blame Elena?”

He had always hoped….

That Elena and Nathan might find their way back.

But now? There was no chance.

And the Kingsley family would never let the Hawthornes off easy.

“Daniel,” Charles said firmly, “starting today, Nathan is suspended from all duties at Hawthorne Group. You and Evan will take over.”

Victoria panicked. “Dad, Nathan has put so much into the company. When he wakes up and finds out, he’ll be devastated-”

“Then he can take the time to get himself together. He is not to touch the company. Not at all!”

Charles barked, his voice rising. He pressed a hand to his chest, coughing violently.

Victoria was about to argue again. But Charles suddenly coughed up blood, his body giving out as he collapsed backward.

The faint scent of antiseptic filled the air.

Elena’s eyelids fluttered.

She remembered now. After talking to Charles, she had passed our

Just as she was about to open her eyes, Evelyn’s voice came from beside her.
