Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 130 - 125: News Even More Shocking Than a Thunderbolt on a Clear Day
I don’t know who spread the rumor, but it said he liked men...
His eldest and second brothers took advantage of the situation to make a big deal out of it, and suddenly, the fact that he didn’t like women became widely known. His conservative father was furious about it, and the trust of the Aegis Group’s senior shareholders in him started to waver...
After all, their outdated mindset could not accept a GAY as their leader...
His mother, Eleanor Ford, was frantic, constantly searching for a potential match for her son. Stella Jennings was studying abroad at the time, so she wasn’t within Eleanor’s search range.
Seeing the situation escalating, his friend John suggested he find a woman with a matching blood type to have a child with. This way, he could silence the gossip.
Laura Quincy was chosen because she happened to be on the same flight to Aethelgard with Jason Hawthorne and John. John impulsively investigated the young women on the plane and found that Laura’s blood type and other aspects matched well.
Her health was excellent, and her appearance was charming and sweet. Such a high-value combination would surely produce a handsome child...
Later, Jason Hawthorne had Mason Cross contact Laura’s family. At the time, he didn’t know Laura’s mother was her stepmother and thought she had agreed.
Moreover, six years ago, he was young and ambitious, focused solely on how to grow the company better. Despite his extraordinary intelligence, he was emotionally inept...
At the time, he thought women were dispensable to him. If his family insisted he marry, he’d marry a woman from a family suitable for his status, chosen by his mother...
In fact, people’s thoughts can change.
Especially when you meet the woman destined for you, everything you planned before becomes irrelevant and changes involuntarily...
Now, recalling the past, Jason Hawthorne feels his thoughts back then were too self-centered and immature...
Laura Quincy saw him silent and turned to leave his office, the sweet interactions of that period suddenly popping like bubbles...
Haha...
Must her life be so turbulent?
What surprised her was that her stepmother, Ruth Leighton, was actually involved in the events six years ago?
It seems she must reclaim the money from Ruth!
After all, it was what she got from "selling" herself, why should Ruth swallow it alone?
Mason Cross looked puzzled as he saw Laura Quincy leave the boss’s office with a cold face. Logically, she should have left with happiness after returning here!
Why did it seem like she had just taken a trip to an ice cellar?
Laura came to the elevator entrance and saw Stella Jennings just about to come out. She was in no mood to greet her and turned to enter the elevator.
Stella stretched out her hand to block the elevator door, maliciously saying, "Oh! What’s wrong? Why come to the fifty-ninth floor alone? And looking so upset?"
Laura coldly retorted, "Does it have anything to do with you whatsoever?"
With that, she reached to press the elevator button, eager to leave!
Stella wasn’t about to let her leave so easily, deliberately standing at the elevator door, "Laura, watch your tone! I am your superior! Besides, you came to the fifty-ninth floor without permission; surely you weren’t here to reminisce with the CEO? Young Master Thorne isn’t in today."
Laura’s expression remained as cold as water, "From now on, I dismiss you as my superior, I’m quitting!"
Now it was Stella’s turn to be shocked, "Laura, do you know what you’re saying? Aegis Group isn’t a marketplace; you can’t just come and go as you please."
Laura’s expression didn’t waver, "So what if it’s not a marketplace? I don’t care! Please, Miss Jennings, move your hand!"
Her words carried a hint of ridicule.
Stella was very surprised, not understanding what’s wrong with Laura?
Was she dumped by Jason?
Stella promptly moved her hand, letting Laura leave.
She felt a slight joy in her heart, even though Jason had proposed breaking up with her, she hadn’t told her family in hopes of leaving room for maneuver...
Because she knew, once she told the Jennings Family, their possibilities would be even less.
Thinking this, she happily headed towards Jason Hawthorne’s office.
Laura Quincy directly took the elevator to the underground parking lot. She couldn’t stay at Aegis Group for another second, feeling suffocated with every extra moment.
Seated in her car, she took out her phone and dialed her friend Nina Pierce.
Nina, already embroiled in internal conflict, suddenly received her friend’s call and didn’t know what to do; she didn’t want to deceive Laura, yet the truth was probably more frightening than a thunderbolt...
"Laura, I have something to tell you."
Upon answering, Nina Pierce’s first words were.
Laura was only seeking solace from her friend, so she didn’t pay attention to Nina’s words, "Nina, do you know? I just learned a huge joke about myself."
Nina sighed inwardly; was there anything more surprising than Laura suddenly having a five-year-old son?
"Laura, what happened?"
She could sense her friend’s low spirits and refrained from speaking first.
Laura forced a bitter smile, "I’ve been hypnotized and lost my memory; isn’t that ridiculous? My life is actually incomplete! Fragmented..."
Nina Pierce was utterly shocked. Laura actually knew?
"Laura, did you find out about Twinkle being your son?"
"What!"
In an instant, Laura Quincy felt as if she heard the news of the sun rising from the west, making all her hair stand on end.
Nina’s mind buzzed with questions. Could it be that Laura’s amnesia was about the incident six years ago when she was confined in the castle to give birth?
Nina was also perplexed, "Laura, didn’t you just say you were hypnotized? Isn’t the hypnosis from six years ago related to the birth of Twinkle?"
Laura was stunned for a long while before she recovered her voice, "What? I was hypnotized to give birth to Twinkle? I bore a child?"
Nina held her forehead, wondering if the things Laura knew were different from hers.
"What do you mean by being hypnotized?"
"No! Nina, you should clarify first. When did I have a child?"
Laura ruffled her hair. The number of shocking events she’d experienced today was already enough — nothing could be more terrifying, only equally terrifying!
Nina took a deep breath, "Laura, do you remember the dream about the castle girl you mentioned to me before? I consulted a psychologist, and typically, it might just be a dream, but it could also imply a certain real-life experience of yours..."
Laura exclaimed, "You mean the scenes in my dream were my real experiences? But isn’t that just the psychologist’s speculation? It doesn’t prove that I actually gave birth."
Nina sighed; what was meant to happen would always come.
"Laura, what I’m about to say will surely make you blame me for acting behind your back. Even if you get angry and don’t forgive me, I’ll accept it."
"Act behind my back how?"
"I took hair samples from both you and Twinkle for a DNA test. The results showed you are mother and son. After getting the results, I had mixed emotions and hesitated on how to tell you, but then you called."
After Nina’s words, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
She became anxious and said, "Laura, I know I shouldn’t have done this behind your back, but I had a last faint hope regarding my own suspicions, hoping it was just my imagination..."
"Nina, stop talking. I know you meant well for me. I also finally understood why you kept asking about my studies in Aethelgard six years ago in my kitchen."
There was a roughly two-second pause, "Suddenly, I feel as if my life has been played with, inexplicable studying abroad, inexplicably losing a year of memory, and inexplicably having given birth to a child..."
Her voice carried self-mockery and ridicule.
Nina worriedly said, "Laura, where are you? Let me come find you! I really can’t put my mind at ease with you like this."
Laura shook her head, "I just want to be alone and quiet right now."
Nina knew her friend would be greatly shaken by this situation, not to mention herself; even she found it incredible.
Such incidents of being hypnotized and losing memory seem like something that should only happen in dramas or novels, right?
How could it happen to Laura?
It’s simply beyond belief!
What is Fourth Young Master Hawthorne’s intention? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Confined Laura in the castle to give birth and then five years later suspected her of kidnapping their son, even let the police detain Laura for 24 hours...
What sort of logic is this?
Hanging up the phone, Laura drove aimlessly along the road, with no destination in mind, not knowing where she should go...
For the moment, she felt completely hollowed out...
Her thoughts were slow, her mind numb...
Driven by some inner urge, or perhaps something else, half an hour later, the car arrived at the coastal highway, and she randomly chose a place to park and got out.
She walked over to a secluded piece of rocky shoreline, sat down, and gazed at the endless sea. Her heart still couldn’t find peace.
Was the poor girl in the castle really herself?
No wonder she always felt heartache whenever dreaming of the girl. Clearly living by the sea, yet being confined to that luxurious villa, unable to go outside, trapped inside all 365 days a year...
Heh...
This was what Jason Hawthorne meant by unimportant memories?
Listening to the sound of the waves, Laura’s mood couldn’t truly settle for a long time, feeling like a weight was pressing on her chest.
Unable to move, she could only pant heavily...
Luckily, the environment here was open, allowing her to breathe freely, indulge in her emotions...
She gently closed her eyes, attempting to recall the memories she lost, but despite racking her brains, she couldn’t remember even a shred.
There was only the castle from her dreams...
Suddenly she felt a bit irritable, picking up stones from beside her and throwing them into the calm sea; why couldn’t she remember anything from six years ago?
