Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 158 - 148: Reclaim What Belongs to You!

Ruth Leighton’s words became increasingly venomous. She didn’t have five million, and she never intended to give it to Laura Quincy.

Laura, who had long developed an invincible ability, did not crumble just because of a few venomous words from her stepmother. She knew her stepmother was unaware of her past as a mother.

Just this point alone was enough for her to win.

No matter what, the one holding the initiative was herself!

"You can sling mud as you wish, but it can’t cover up the facts! Since you’re so obstinate, there’s nothing more for us to discuss. I’ve recorded our entire conversation and will send it to Father’s email."

With that, she hung up the phone first.

Ruth Leighton was so angry that she almost smashed the phone in her hand, "Shameless! Little slut! How dare she set me up like this!"

Phoebe Turner, sitting beside her, caught the general idea, "Mom, what do we do now? We’ve clearly been set up by Laura. If she really sends the recording to Dad, then Dad will definitely..."

She trailed off, but the implication was clear.

Ruth Leighton was furious, almost bursting with anger, "We have to think of a way! We absolutely can’t let that bitch outmaneuver us!"

Phoebe Turner pondered for a moment, "Mom, I do have a pretty good idea, but I’m not sure if it will work."

Ruth was anxious, "What idea?"

Phoebe said, "Isn’t this the age of the internet? I know Laura has a Weibo account with quite a number of followers, and the CEO of Aegis Group, Fourth Young Master Hawthorne, once retweeted her post to apologize for falsely accusing her of kidnapping his son. This incident made Laura’s Weibo gain a lot of followers, and many fans are curious about her relationship with Fourth Young Master. It’s just a pity that after that, the two of them never interacted again, and Fourth Young Master hasn’t posted on Weibo since..."

Ruth Leighton frowned, "So you’re saying Laura hooked up with Fourth Young Master and even became his mistress?"

Phoebe Turner shook her head, "I didn’t say that. Even if there’s such a possibility, it’s just speculation by the fans. You have to know that Fourth Young Master is a national idol. Although he already has a son, it doesn’t stop a massive number of female fans from liking him."

Ruth Leighton thought for a moment, "But what does this matter have to do with Laura suing us?"

Phoebe responded slowly, "We can expose on Weibo that Laura was sold to Fiorina six years ago! Tarnish her reputation so that even if she really finds evidence to sue us, her public image will already be damaged, and who would believe her then? They would just think she deserved it!"

Ruth Leighton mused for a moment. Phoebe’s words indeed made some sense; the old adage ’strike first to gain the upper hand’...

By preemptively ruining her reputation online, it would also be beneficial for us...

"Hmm, this idea is not bad! Let’s do it!"

Phoebe Turner was full of pride, "Of course! Who do you think came up with the idea?"

Ruth Leighton laughed too, "My Phoebe is the most clever!"

After hanging up, Laura sat on the sofa, lost in thought for a moment. With relatives like these, maybe it’s her karma from a past life?

She smirked bitterly...

Just then, her phone rang again; it was Justin Hawthorne calling.

"Sister, how about Twinkle treats you to dinner tonight?"

Her son’s tender, sweet voice melted Laura’s heart. She instinctively felt this was Jason Hawthorne’s "scheme," but since the call was from Twinkle, how could she refuse?

Oh well, she had something she needed to discuss with Jason anyway. If she wanted to get the five million that belonged to her back from her stepmother, she would definitely need Jason’s help.

The incident from years ago, she needed an opportunity to properly ask him about it. Most importantly, she needed to obtain the signed agreement from her stepmother.

This time, she wouldn’t back down; she had to reclaim what was hers!

"Okay, sure!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Wow! Sister, you really agreed! I’ll wait for you at six o’clock in front of your house tonight."

Hearing Twinkle’s earnest words, Laura couldn’t help but smile, "Okay."

In the afternoon, she still had Mr. Byron’s schedule to accompany, so Laura changed her clothes and went out, hoping to settle all the needed tasks when she got back.

Thorne Group.

Asher Thorne and Landon Linden were chatting in the office when suddenly Connor Sterling came running in, breathless, "Boss, there’s trouble! Something big happened!"

Asher Thorne lifted his eyelids slightly, "What could be so alarming?"

Connor wiped his sweat, "Sophie Sutton is standing on the rooftop yelling that she wants to jump! She insists on you, the boss, going over there personally. Now the whole company is in a stir, and fire trucks and police are on their way."
