Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 134 - 129: Jason Hawthorne, You Really Are Despicable!
Laura Quincy had just walked out of the HR department when she ran into Jasper Hawthorne. She hadn’t planned on greeting him, but he called out to her.
"What’s this?"
"Oh, I resigned."
It was a simple statement, crisp and clean.
Jasper Hawthorne looked at her with some surprise, "Resigned? Why on earth would you resign? Does it have something to do with my uncle?"
Laura shot him a glance, "Who are you to me? Do I have to tell you?"
With that, she was about to ignore him.
Jasper stepped forward and grabbed her arm, lowering his voice, "Laura, at least we’ve known each other! I’m doing this for your own good! Honestly, from my private perspective, I’d love for you to be with my uncle, that way I’d have a much better chance. You’ve probably heard, I’m about to marry Serena Jennings. I can imagine my uncle’s under a lot of pressure lately, otherwise he wouldn’t have chosen to break up with you at this time. I’ve warned you before, there’s no future for you and my uncle! In crunch time, he’ll only choose Stella Jennings!"
Laura shook off his hand impatiently, "Jasper Hawthorne, I’ll say it again, I really don’t need your good intentions! I’m not a three-year-old kid, I know exactly what to do, I don’t need you pointing fingers from the side!"
Jasper’s face turned pale with anger, "Laura, you really won’t accept good advice and opt for punishment instead! Being with my uncle gives you that much satisfaction in getting back at me?"
Laura rolled her eyes, "Eldest Young Master Hawthorne, you’re overthinking it! Getting back at you? I really don’t have the leisure for that!"
Of course, Jasper didn’t believe her. He’s always felt superior since he was a child, and this recent feeling of expansion has made her even more obliviously complacent...
"Don’t deny it, don’t I know you?"
Laura was practically re-evaluating Jasper. How could there be such a shameless man? Eager to stick to someone?
Unfortunately, she really didn’t want to tell him the truth, otherwise it would really be like slapping him in the face!
"Thank you for being so self-righteous and thinking you know me well, but it’s useless. This is just you gilding the lily for yourself, it has absolutely nothing to do with me!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Laura retorted unceremoniously. When dealing with such a shameless scumbag, she could only be tough and then tougher.
Jasper was mocked to the point his face turned pale, just when a few colleagues walked by, they exclaimed in surprise, "Translator Quincy, you actually know Manager Hawthorne?"
Laura responded irritably, "I don’t know him."
She’d prefer to have never known this person, truly unfortunate!
Everyone exchanged looks as they watched her leave, then glanced at Jasper, who didn’t look pleased at all!
As if he tried to flirt and got brushed off...
A colleague, keen to curry favor with Jasper, said, "This Translator Quincy is quite something! Just relying on being in the President’s favored team!"
"I heard she’s involved with Young Master Thorne!"
"Shush! You shouldn’t talk about things like that carelessly..."
Noticing Jasper’s worsening expression, they wisely stopped discussing Laura.
Jasper coldly swept a glance over them, "Got nothing better to do?"
With that, everyone instantly scattered, hurrying to their cubicles.
Reaching the underground parking lot, Laura felt a total release. She knew very well that once she left here, coming back would be impossible.
Although it’s a pretty good platform here, the working environment still has to be comfortable for oneself, whether earning more or less isn’t the most important thing.
Worst comes to worst, take on a few more part-time jobs!
She took a deep breath, started her car, and was about to leave. Just as she exited the garage and made a left turn, she saw a black Spyker speeding towards her, scaring her into slamming on the brakes.
The other car deliberately blocked hers, and then the door opened, and Jason Hawthorne stepped out with a stern face.
Laura watched the man approaching her, wishing she could shift into reverse and leave, but there was only one exit from the garage.
With a gloomy expression, Jason rapped on her window. Laura lazily rolled down the window, "I think there’s nothing left to say between us!"
Jason said sharply, "Get out first."
In an instant, Laura glanced at the camera overhead, "There’s a camera here."
Jason straightforwardly reached in, unlocked her car door, then forcibly pulled her out, holding on despite her struggles until she was pushed into his car.
After locking the doors, he started the car and drove out of the garage.
Laura looked at her little Fit sitting all alone and said irritably, "Is this really necessary? From the moment you lied to me, it was completely over between us!"
Jason said nothing, instead calling his assistant, Mason Cross, "Handle the surveillance footage from the parking lot, and Laura’s car as well."
Mason understood and responded.
Ignored, Laura’s chest heaved with anger, and she simply turned her head to look out the window.
After a few minutes of silence.
Jason spoke slowly, "Twinkle doesn’t know you’re his biological mother yet. I think he’ll be very happy when he finds out."
Laura bit her lip and coldly spat out two words, "Despicable!"
Using a child to threaten me, what kind of man does that!
Jason Hawthorne continued, "What happened six years ago was out of my control. I chose to hypnotize you to forget that memory, hoping it wouldn’t affect your future life."
Laura Quincy scoffed, "Easy for you to say! Taking a piece of flesh from me and then hypnotizing me to forget it all was for my own good? To ensure my life isn’t affected, are you certain I’ll never remember it my entire life?"
Jason Hawthorne pressed his thin lips tightly, "If I hadn’t met you again, I would have asked John to monitor your situation, and then..."
Laura Quincy interrupted, "And then hypnotize me regularly?"
Jason Hawthorne pursed his lips without a word, effectively admitting it.
Laura Quincy thought it was the funniest joke she had ever heard, "Money really can move mountains! A plot from a TV show happened to me, am I supposed to feel honored?"
Jason Hawthorne frowned deeply, "You happened to be on the same plane as us at the time, and your physical condition and various indicators were a good match for me, so..."
Laura Quincy pursed her lips, scratching her head in extreme irritation, suddenly said coldly, "Stop the car! I want to get out!"
Of course, Jason Hawthorne wouldn’t stop, "I know you can’t accept all this right now, but don’t you also really like Twinkle? Don’t you want to live happily with him?"
Laura Quincy’s dark eyes were cold, "One thing has nothing to do with the other. I admit I really like Twinkle, but I can’t forgive your actions, it’s essentially stealing by deception!"
Jason Hawthorne didn’t look good, it was the first time someone had accused him this way...
"Laura Quincy, can you calm down?"
"Calm down? I’m quite calmly telling you, I hate being deceived, and I hate this kind of deceitful theft even more. You not only erased my memory but also hypnotized me to have your child. What do you take me for?"
Laura Quincy couldn’t accept this fact at all.
Just thinking about it, she felt it was unbelievable, as if she was still asleep in a dream...
"We sought your parents’ consent back then..."
"Don’t mention my parents to me! My mom is long gone!"
Laura Quincy sharply interrupted him. Victor Turner and Ruth Leighton, what kind of parents are they? Not to mention Ruth Leighton, the stepmother, even Victor Turner, her biological father, never truly cherished her for a day. In his eyes, she was just the child of a woman he didn’t love...
Ha!
Her birth was a mistake from the start!
Jason Hawthorne only found out later that Laura’s mother had passed away. The one who signed the agreement back then was her stepmother, who couldn’t wait for her to get as far away from home as possible...
"You know how bad stepmothers can be, don’t you hope Twinkle won’t repeat your mistakes?"
Jason Hawthorne keenly grasped this point.
Laura Quincy coldly raised her eyes, "Jason Hawthorne, you’re really despicable! If you still have any sense of humanity, don’t tell Twinkle the truth! Otherwise, if he knows the truth, how is a five-year-old supposed to handle it?"
Jason Hawthorne’s expression gradually grew cold, and for a long time, he said nothing further.
After a brief silence.
Laura Quincy spoke in a cool voice, "Stop the car! Let’s end this between us! We’re not from the same world, why force us together."
Jason Hawthorne still refused to stop the car.
Laura Quincy simply went for the handbrake, which Jason Hawthorne, with a dark face, stopped, shouting, "Are you crazy?"
Laura Quincy retorted with a cold laugh, "That’s right! If you don’t stop the car, I might go even crazier! Want to try it?"
Her slightly upturned lips curved into a wicked arc, making Jason Hawthorne feel cold...
He found a spot to pull over. As soon as the car stopped, Laura Quincy impatiently opened the door and got out, so determined...
Jason Hawthorne agitatedly lit a cigarette, how did things come to this?
By then, it was already deep winter, the cold wind piercingly froze her to the bone.
Laura Quincy tightened her coat, reaching out to hail a taxi to leave.
Perhaps, she should change cities...
Laura Quincy returned home and started packing her things, spending the afternoon cleaning in a dizzy state...
She didn’t want to stop because she feared her mind would wander, nearing eight o’clock, she received a call from her friend Nina Pierce, "Laura, are you okay?"
Laura Quincy sighed, "Nina, I want to leave here."
Nina Pierce seemed both surprised and as if she had expected it, "Have you thought about where you want to go?"
Laura Quincy sighed, "Not really, I just don’t want to stay in this city anymore. I wasn’t determined before, but now I’m thoroughly disillusioned."
Nina Pierce also knew the hardships her friend went through. When Laura was in her first year of high school, her mom died in a car accident, and since then, she suffered under her stepmother’s oppression.
Though she had a biological father, he didn’t care for her at all, treating her worse than a stranger, even though she was his biological daughter...
She had thought that finding a good job after graduating from college would mark the start of a plain life. Meeting Jason Hawthorne, a dragon among men, and falling in love was something many girls envied...
