Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 183 - 165: She Still Refuses to Come Back_3
Eleanor Ford was choked by her son’s aggressive tone, unable to speak for a long time.
Jason Hawthorne simply stood up and left.
Eleanor Ford was so angry that her hands trembled. She shouted for him to "stop," but he turned a deaf ear...
"This is infuriating!"
The maids nearby didn’t dare to make a sound, fearing the madam might vent her anger on them...
"Where’s the young master?"
"He’s still sleeping in his room."
"Hmm, take good care of him."
"Yes."
After giving some instructions, Eleanor grabbed her bag and left, immediately calling Stella Jennings once she got into the car.
"Stella! Tomorrow night you should come to our house for New Year’s dinner. Let Auntie Ford know in advance what you like to eat."
"Auntie Ford, really? What about Jason..."
Stella was overjoyed but also worried Jason Hawthorne might be upset.
Eleanor Ford didn’t care about her son’s feelings, "It’s fine, Auntie Ford makes the decisions. Just come, Uncle Hawthorne and I would be very happy to have you here."
These words completely moved Serena Jennings, "Okay, thank you Auntie Ford, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow."
Eleanor Ford nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm."
Jason Hawthorne dealt with some affairs at the company briefly and then left, his mind preoccupied with picking up Laura Quincy from the hospital today.
He was stopped by his nephew Jasper Hawthorne as soon as he exited the elevator, "Uncle, I want to talk to you."
Jason cast him a glance, "I have urgent business outside now."
Jasper quickly said, "It’s about Laura Quincy."
After taking a couple of steps, Jason stopped walking, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Jasper stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Uncle, don’t you think you’re shameless? Already about to get married yet still playing with another woman’s emotions? You know you can’t provide her with a future but still fill her with false hope?"
Jason’s eyes were cold, "None of this concerns you! You should mind your own woman!"
Jasper shouted indignantly, "Uncle! How long are you going to remain obstinate? Laura Quincy was my ex-girlfriend, I know her character well. She foolishly believes your lies but you can’t do such immoral things!"
Each word seemed to stand on Laura Quincy’s side, criticizing Jason.
Yet Jason had no intention of accepting his kindness. To him, it was most frustrating that his nephew was Laura’s ex-boyfriend.
Although nothing happened between them, they had talked for two years. Just thinking about it made him uncomfortable!
Immediately, with a cold face, he reprimanded, "Jasper Hawthorne! You have no need to meddle in my affairs!"
Jasper, though somewhat intimidated by his uncle’s powerful aura, still gathered courage to speak, "Uncle, I never knew you had a strange hobby of snatching others’ girlfriends! Did you have your sights on Laura from the start, that evening you arranged her to go on a trip to Port Sovereign but ended up having her return? You did that on purpose!"
He voiced a long-hidden doubt.
Jason glared at him coldly, "Did I force you and Serena Jennings to go to the fitting room?"
With just these words, Jasper’s complexion changed drastically.
Jason snorted coldly and strode away. Jasper was typical of restlessness! Unhappy after marriage with Serena Jennings, he began reminiscing about Laura Quincy’s good qualities.
Ha!
Is there such a thing as a free lunch in this world?
Perhaps the dream was too sweet?
Standing there, stunned, Jasper gritted his teeth in anger. Since his uncle had everything under control regarding his affairs, there was no need for him to be polite to him!
Phoebe Turner, who had been waiting at Laura’s apartment complex for many days, finally lost patience. It was already the 29th of the lunar month, and no sign of Laura Quincy. She probably wouldn’t show up.
On her way back, she suddenly thought of someone and quickly found a public phone booth to call her.
Stella Jennings was out shopping. Auntie Ford had invited her over for New Year’s dinner at the Hawthorne Family. To her, this was a tremendous honor...
Perhaps, Auntie Ford wanted to use the dinner to finalize things between her and Jason...
Thinking this, her mood was euphoric.
So much so that she even answered an unfamiliar number, "Hello?"
Phoebe Turner was thrilled to be acknowledged, "Miss Jennings, I’m Phoebe Turner. There’s something I want to tell you."
Stella’s good mood was instantly disrupted by her, "I told you not to call me anymore. If you don’t remember, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Phoebe quickly said, "Miss Jennings, please don’t be angry. Do you know which hospital Laura Quincy has been staying at lately? Where might she be during the holidays if not home? I think the most likely scenario is that Fourth Young Master arranged accommodation for her..."
