Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 156 - 146: Bitten by a Pig

Jason Hawthorne’s face instantly darkened, that damned little woman always had a way to rile him up!

"I..."

"Shut up! I don’t want to hear you speak! Not a single word! Our encounter tonight was an unfortunate accident! I hope that from now on, we don’t meet alone again! It’s best for us to stay out of each other’s lives!"

Laura Quincy spoke with total conviction in every word, emphasizing not to meet alone because Twinkle was her son, which meant that he would inevitably appear before her with Twinkle...

But deep down, she rejected meeting him alone again!

In Norcastle, she had hesitated in those few nights, but now it seemed she was being foolish! Was she really that kind of woman in his eyes?

Haha...

No wonder, otherwise, he wouldn’t have forcibly used hypnosis on her, making her do such lewd and shameless things...

Enough, every woman will inevitably encounter a few scumbags in life, just consider the past as being badly duped by a pig, and from now on, keep a distance from that pig.

Laura Quincy’s face was full of distaste and disdain, which hurt Jason Hawthorne deeply, damn it! He messed it up again!

"If you leave now, Mr. Byron’s wish to cooperate with me might be in vain."

Helplessly, Jason Hawthorne could only come up with this last resort.

Upon hearing this, Laura Quincy hooked a sarcastic cold smile on her lips, "Jason Hawthorne, can you be any more shameless? Using work matters to threaten me?"

Jason Hawthorne kept a calm face, "If this threat works for you, I’m willing."

Fuming, Laura Quincy paused for a few seconds before squeezing out three words, "Shameless!"

Jason Hawthorne felt slightly happy, could it really work?

The next second, Laura Quincy decisively said, "I guess you’re going to be disappointed, this threat doesn’t work on me! I can easily change cities and jobs; I refuse to believe there isn’t a place for Laura Quincy in such a vast world!"

Leaving these words behind, Laura Quincy turned and left without looking back; after tonight, she saw through it all, after all, she had skill sets with her, wasn’t she afraid she couldn’t find a job?

At worst, he would force her to change jobs frequently, running around all over the world...

After all, she had no home, nor any relatives who loved her, does it matter to feel at home everywhere?

Watching her departing figure, Jason Hawthorne involuntarily clenched his fists, a kind of indescribable anxiety surged within him...

Before returning to the private room, Laura Quincy had sorted out her emotions; work is work, private is private, she didn’t want to show her unprofessional side to outsiders.

After she returned, Jason Hawthorne entered three minutes later; the former person’s expression was calm and unperturbed, showing no joy nor anger; the latter’s face was evidently clouded, like the prelude to a storm...

The present group dared not to randomly speculate, nor were they as casual in joking around as before, after all, angering Fourth Young Master wasn’t a wise decision.

The fields Aegis Group slashed across were numerous and beyond count, having long entered the world top ten, with finances so robust that outsiders couldn’t fathom it, plus Fourth Young Master’s exceptional vision, every project he chose to invest in over the years earned massively, so everyone wanted to partake in the fortune...

After the dinner ended, Laura Quincy contacted Little Kim, asking her to take Mr. Byron back to his hotel for lodging, while she left alone.

In the car.

Jason Hawthorne allowed smoke to swirl in front of him, his eyes staring unblinkingly at the figure ahead, several times he thought of getting out of the car, but refrained forcefully.

The earlier unpleasant encounter on the balcony, going now would only pour fuel on the fire...

Frustrated, he took two deep drags, clearly a couple of days ago things were fine in Norcastle, but why did everything change once back?

The driver Wayland, in wise understanding, drove the car slowly, tailing Laura Quincy afar, neither letting her notice nor trailing too far lest the BOSS lost sight...

He felt this was the first time he ever drove slower than a snail’s crawl, it thoroughly tested his patience.

Laura Quincy walked while calling her friend Nina Pierce, entirely oblivious to the car following behind her.

"Nina, let’s go to the old spot for barbecue! I never get full at these dinners, and besides... I miss you."

"Oh, you! Such mushy declaration makes goosebumps all over me, I’ll pack up and leave work now, see you in ten minutes, muah!"

"Okay."

After agreeing, Laura Quincy stopped walking forward, standing there to hail a cab, her mood tonight was exceptionally foul, returning to face an empty room she’d certainly overthink.

Rather than that, better to meet up with Nina, especially since there’s sporadic snowfall tonight, perfect for eating fried chicken and having beers!

In the car behind, David asked, "BOSS, Miss Quincy is hailing a cab, should we continue following?"

Jason Hawthorne gently expelled a smoke ring, his voice indifferent, "Follow her."

Laura Quincy flagged for ages without seeing a taxi, suddenly, she sharply noticed a black Spyker behind her motionlessly parked.

Upon closer look, that license plate was just too familiar!

Bastard! Is he overfed with nothing better to do? Why on earth stalk her?

Immediately she strode angrily towards the Spyker, when David saw her approaching, nervously he asked, "BOSS, Miss Quincy is coming over, should we..."

Jason Hawthorne paused for two seconds, "Go."

David was momentarily confused, "Huh?"

Jason Hawthorne’s tone was chilling, "To ’The Orchid Club.’

Only then did David understand, and he slammed the gas pedal, zooming far away from Laura Quincy...

Laura Quincy took a deep breath and couldn’t help but curse, "Damn! If you’re so capable, don’t run! What kind of man can’t face up to his actions!"

Even though they had gone far, David still glanced at the rearview mirror and hesitantly said, "BOSS, Miss Quincy seemed to say a few things."

The implication was clear: BOSS, Miss Quincy seemed to be cursing you...

Jason Hawthorne lazily arched an eyebrow, "Do you talk a lot?"

David immediately didn’t dare make another sound. He shut up obediently and focused on driving.

Jason Hawthorne’s eyes kept looking at the rearview mirror, until the person inside was completely out of sight...

Left behind, Laura Quincy was so angry she clenched her fists. She was utterly disgusted with a certain man’s despicable actions, constantly sending people to follow her!

Just because he’s rich, he thinks he’s great!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!

Luckily, a taxi came by, otherwise she would’ve been utterly disoriented in the wind...

All thanks to that damn man!

Meeting him must have been a misfortune from a past life!

Street-side barbecue shop.

Outside, snowflakes drifted lightly. Laura Quincy and Nina Pierce sat face-to-face. It had only been a few days, but they seemed to have endless topics to discuss.

"Did Jason Hawthorne really send Twinkle to your place? And then hang around for two days?"

"Yeah, if it weren’t for Twinkle, I would’ve chased him out with a broom long ago."

Speaking of a certain man made Laura Quincy seethe with anger.

Nina Pierce covered her mouth and laughed, "I never expected the usually low-key and mysterious Heartthrob Hawthorne to have such a side. It’s really surprising!"

Laura Quincy took a sip of beer, "Forget it, just mentioning him makes me angry. We ran into each other at tonight’s dinner again."

Nina Pierce took a bite of fried chicken, "I tell you! You two are just deeply destined! You run into each other everywhere."

Laura Quincy waved her hand, "No! I’d rather have no such fate with him! You have no idea how infuriating his words are, making it sound like I have some disreputable job."

Nina Pierce rested her chin on her hand, "I actually think he said that because he’s jealous."

Laura Quincy glanced at her, "Since when did you become so knowledgeable about men?"

Nina Pierce picked up her beer and clinked glasses with her friend, "I personally think so. Whether it’s women or men, sometimes they easily become contrary."

Laura Quincy didn’t respond, sullenly taking a sip of beer. She didn’t want to guess if that bastard was being contrary. She didn’t have the youthful time to bet on a love that wouldn’t lead anywhere...

There was a vast gap between them, and what she hated most was being deceived, being played with!

"I’ve already decided if he continues to press me, I’ll just move and start over somewhere else." She suddenly lowered her eyes and smiled, "Anyway, I already have a son, and I’m not thinking about getting married and having more kids. I’ll leave it to fate whether I meet someone or not."

Nina Pierce looked at her friend, "Your mentality is really open-minded. I still think about just finding an ordinary man to marry, not expecting an epic love in this life."

Laura Quincy took a small sip, "Life is better when it’s plain. A love too intense doesn’t necessarily last."

Nina Pierce pursed her lips, "Aren’t our views too pessimistic? There’s still a long future! Are we already thinking about not finding true love?"

Laura Quincy lowered her gaze, "At least for now, that’s my view. Maybe it’s because I’m too tired recently!"

Nina Pierce didn’t respond. Her friend’s situation was indeed complicated and could fill a romance novel.

As they chatted, suddenly the curtain was pulled open, and two men entered, one of whom both Laura Quincy and Nina Pierce knew.

Theodore White was also coming after work with a friend. This was a spot they’d frequented since college, and now, four or five years had flown by, yet it still looked the same...

He hadn’t expected to run into Nina Pierce and Laura Quincy here.

His college roommate Toby North was with him, and they’d remained on good terms.

Toby North enthusiastically greeted Nina Pierce, "Little junior, long time no see!"

Nina Pierce knew him too, but instinctively didn’t want to greet them, especially because any mention of a certain person brought back bad memories!

She then replied irritably, "Pardon my poor eyesight, maybe it’s been too long, but I don’t remember seniors like you two."

Toby North’s face changed with awkwardness. As Theodore White’s roommate, he certainly knew about the matters between Theodore White and Nina Pierce, and how he’d suddenly gone to study abroad...
