Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 131 - 126: When Did I Ever Have a Child?

Hypnotic amnesia?

What exactly has she forgotten?

And Twinkle is actually her son?

This is too unbelievable!

She always thought her first time was with Jason Hawthorne, but she had already had a child before that...

Isn’t this the biggest joke ever?

Although Twinkle is adorable, and she likes him a lot, the fact that he’s her biological son is too much for her to handle.

It’s no less than a fairy tale...

If it weren’t for Nina saying this was the firm result of DNA testing, she wouldn’t believe it even if it killed her.

Inside the President’s office on the fifty-ninth floor of Aegis Group.

The room was filled with low pressure, ominous clouds hung in the air, and everyone was wise enough not to tread on the minefield, but Stella Jennings insisted on knocking on the door.

Mason Cross tried to stop her but couldn’t, so he simply gave up, even though he didn’t know what had happened between the BOSS and Miss Quincy.

But the situation before their eyes was too terrifying...

Stella Jennings pushed the door open and noticed Jason Hawthorne’s face was not looking good, but she didn’t take it to heart; instead, she walked over with a smile, "Jason, we..."

Jason Hawthorne coldly interrupted her, "Get out!"

Stella Jennings was a bit stunned, "Jason, what’s wrong? Is it because of Laura Quincy? I just ran into her at the elevator entrance, she said she wanted to resign."

Jason Hawthorne raised his eyes coldly, "What did you say?"

Stella Jennings paused for two seconds, then repeated the last sentence, "Laura Quincy said she wants to resign."

Jason Hawthorne didn’t speak immediately, his gaze still as cold as water, "Anything else?"

Stella Jennings hurriedly said, "Jason, I know what you said that day was out of anger. After all, we have two or three years of feelings, how can it end just like that..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Jason Hawthorne impatiently interrupted her, "Enough! I never feel the need to repeat myself."

Stella Jennings was a bit stunned, but she didn’t give up, "Jason, why? Is it really because of Laura Quincy? But didn’t you just have a quarrel with her?"

Jason Hawthorne was very annoyed by her pestering, "It’s not about her, I don’t like you, whether it’s one year, two or three years, or ten years, it’s impossible for me to like you!"

What he said was unusually certain and hurtful.

Stella Jennings staggered back a step, "I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it..."

Jason Hawthorne’s expression was consistently indifferent, "The truth hurts, and I hope you can realize soon enough that I am not the right person for you."

This statement completely dashed Stella Jennings’ hopes.

Her tears could no longer be held back and fell as she stumbled and ran out of Jason Hawthorne’s office, originally hoping that this time would bring reconciliation between them.

But in the end...

All she received was more hurtful verbal daggers...

Mason Cross saw Stella Jennings running out of the BOSS’s office with teary eyes, shook his head, and silently sighed.

Alas...

What he’s worried about now is whether the press conference in the afternoon can proceed smoothly?

He had already informed the media, and with the boss, he really dared not knock on the door now!

Just as he was wavering, the landline on the desk suddenly rang.

Uh... does he and the BOSS have some telepathic connection?

He hurriedly picked up the phone, only to hear one sentence, "The afternoon press conference is canceled."

The voice was cold and decisive.

Mason Cross wiped the sweat from his forehead, fortunately, the BOSS remembered this issue, otherwise, he would have been an example of running into the muzzle...

It seems the BOSS and Miss Quincy had a fierce dispute this time!

He doesn’t know exactly what it was about?

Just as he was deep in thought, the landline on the desk rang again.

"If Laura Quincy submits her resignation letter, make sure to inform me immediately."

"...Understood."

What on earth is going on?

Mason Cross was baffled but could only bury his confusion in his heart.

Unknowingly, Laura Quincy had been sitting by the seaside for the whole afternoon, listening to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, she felt an indescribable sensation.

As the sun set and the lights of thousands of homes were about to flicker on, she still did not want to get up and go back.

That day was full of shocking news for her, one after another...

They came at her without warning, forcing her to accept even if she didn’t want to.

How exactly she met Jason Hawthorne six years ago, she had no recollection at all. Why did he choose her to have his child?

It was something she couldn’t figure out at all.

Twinkle was actually her son?

This was as if a son had suddenly appeared out of thin air, was this why she felt so close to him?

She grabbed her hair hard with both hands, still feeling as if everything was just a dream, unreal...

As for stepmother Ruth Leighton, she had to confront her to get back the money that should rightfully be hers!

With this thought, she clenched her fist tightly, deciding to visit the Turner Family herself!

When the Turner Family of three, sitting in the living room watching TV while waiting for dinner, saw Laura Quincy arrive, their faces were full of surprise.

The first to react was Victor Turner, "Laura, if you were coming back for dinner, you should have told Dad earlier, I’ll have the kitchen prepare something right away."

Laura spoke coldly, "No need, I’m just here to ask your good wife a few questions, and I’ll leave after that."

Ruth Leighton, hearing that she was being called out, responded sarcastically, "Wow! It’s rare that the Eldest Miss Quincy needs to ask me something? You’ve been doing well at Aegis Group lately, haven’t you? Yet, you wouldn’t help your sister out. You, as an elder sister, are as heartless as a white-eyed wolf!"

Phoebe Turner looked fully aggrieved, cooperating with her mother, as if Laura had wronged her terribly.

Laura’s lips curled into a cold smile, this mother-daughter duo was really good at acting!

"Six years ago, did you receive a sum of money and sign an agreement to let me study abroad for a year without any contact?"

Her words instantly triggered Ruth Leighton’s memory; she had already spent that money behind her husband’s back. They had no feelings for this eldest daughter, so under Ruth’s persuasion, Victor Turner had never called her...

Instead, he kept criticizing Laura to him, saying that after going abroad, she forgot the family, never even making a phone call, as if they had raised her in vain for so many years...

Victor Turner sensed something was wrong, "Laura, what are you talking about? Didn’t you ask to go to Aethelgard to study back then?"

Laura sneered, "To find out what really happened, you’ll have to ask your good wife! She took the money and still badmouthed me in front of you, I suppose only she could do such a thing."

Ruth Leighton’s fingers trembled, her voice noticeably unsteady, "Honey, don’t listen to her nonsense! I don’t know where she’s heard such rumors, and she’s blaming me."

Laura approached step by step, "Really? Do you dare say you didn’t take the money? Do you dare say you didn’t sign a confidentiality agreement?"

Ruth Leighton’s mind drummed with panic, how did Laura know about this? Didn’t the mysterious person who approached her back then say it would be a permanent secret?

Then she clenched her teeth, denying it, "I don’t know what you’re talking about! I think you’re a bit muddled!"

Laura’s gaze was icy, "Since you refuse to admit it, then I’ll just have to present the evidence."

Her tone was firm, her eyes carried a domineering and murderous air.

Ruth Leighton’s legs trembled; she had kept this from her husband back then, and the five million had been embezzled by her. If her husband found out, he would definitely scold her...

After all, Laura was his daughter, and even though she was not favored, blood is thicker than water.

Victor Turner caught on to something serious, and shouted fiercely, "What’s going on exactly?"

Ruth Leighton realized that if she didn’t speak the truth, her husband would be displeased. She squeezed out a few tears and threw herself onto her husband.

"Honey, I was innocent back then! Those mysterious people approached me, saying they wanted to send Laura abroad to study. What a great opportunity I thought! Didn’t our family have financial difficulties back then? They were willing to pay for Laura’s studies, so of course, I was happy!"

Victor Turner frowned, "What’s with the money and signing an agreement?"

Ruth Leighton sobbed as she continued, "Those people gave me a sum of money not to reveal anything, and said not to contact Laura for a year, letting her focus on her studies abroad. I didn’t look at the agreement carefully, but that was the gist of it."

Victor Turner found it all a bit unbelievable, "How much did they give you?"

Ruth Leighton hesitated, not wanting to say, but when she met her husband’s sharp gaze, she could only confess, "Five million."

Even standing next to them, Phoebe Turner was shocked, covering her mouth, five million?

Victor Turner was also stunned, "Why would they suddenly give you so much money?"

Ruth Leighton felt infinitely wronged, "I also don’t know about those people. I asked them, but they just told me not to ask unnecessary questions, I..."

She glanced at Laura, as if saying: you should ask your beloved daughter, it must be her who caused the trouble outside...

Victor Turner couldn’t help but look at his eldest daughter, "Laura, what on earth is going on? How could you know..."

Laura’s tone was icy, "I don’t know those people at all. It wasn’t until today that I knew everything from six years ago. I have no memory of what happened six years ago. But since Auntie Leighton took the five million that was supposed to be mine, it should naturally be returned in full!"

Ruth Leighton, of course, wouldn’t willingly return the five million, she had already spent it, with what could she pay it back?

"Why should I pay it back! From childhood to now, isn’t the money we raised you with money? And all your educational and living expenses, why don’t you pay us for those?"

She spoke with righteous indignation.

Laura’s eyes were mocking, a cold smile, "As far as I know, you didn’t marry into this family until I was fifteen, right? And Verdant Apparel Trading Co. was founded by my grandfather. Even though he’s gone now, it is not your place to meddle, Auntie Leighton!"

Her words were sharp, every word was reasonable.

Ruth Leighton’s face turned red from her rebuttal, she could only look at her husband for help, "Honey, look at her, always talking about her grandfather, as if we’ve taken great advantage of the Quincy Family."
