Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 191 - 172: A Family of Three Welcomes the New Year
Pregnant women, it’s normal for them to rest and recuperate more.
After everyone dispersed, Jasper Hawthorne couldn’t help but say, "Serena, what you did was too dangerous! What if something really happened?"
Serena Jennings reached out to touch her belly, "Without venturing into the tiger’s den, how can one get a tiger cub? If I don’t do this, there’s a 99 percent chance my second sister will marry your third uncle. Why am I taking such a big risk? It’s for whom?"
Jasper paused for a moment, "I know you’re doing it for me, but I don’t want you to bet your and the child’s life, what if..."
Serena couldn’t help but smile when she heard his concern, "Alright! I’m fine, aren’t I? Don’t worry! I always know the limits when I do things. Besides, the child is over five months now, it’s the most stable period, nothing will happen!"
Jasper poured her a cup of hot water, "What if my grandfather sees through your little tricks?"
Serena laughed, "Do you really think everyone doesn’t know? Actually, the truth is not important at all. Grandpa dislikes watching family squabbles the most. How could a family like the Hawthorne Family not have any conflicts? But Grandpa doesn’t like them being out in the open, so tonight’s incident let him know I’m not getting along with my second sister. If we enter the same family, there will surely be endless troubles in the future..."
Jasper also understood this reasoning, "Was it Dad who asked you to do this?"
Serena shook her head, saying proudly, "It was an idea I suddenly came up with myself."
Jasper’s heart tightened, the more they interacted, the more he could feel the depth of Serena Jennings’ scheming. No wonder Mom didn’t like Serena from the beginning, feeling she couldn’t handle her...
If it weren’t for being pushed to this step, actually... Serena really isn’t his type...
"Take good care of yourself during this period, and don’t worry about other matters."
"By the way, is your ex-girlfriend still sticking with my third uncle? Half a month ago, wasn’t there news that she was sold six years ago? The news was all withdrawn in less than half a day, who else could do it besides my third uncle?"
Serena paid no attention to his words, speaking on her own.
"Honestly, I really admire Laura Quincy, this woman. How could she even manage a man like your third uncle? Is she particularly impressive in some ways?"
As she spoke, she looked ambiguously at her husband, with a clearly implied meaning in her eyes.
Jasper felt a slight sourness in his heart. During his relationship with Laura, they hadn’t developed to that extent, but he didn’t want to admit it in front of Serena.
"Not really."
His tone was faint, as if he didn’t want to say more.
Serena glanced at him, "Hmm! If she’s not impressive, why would you still be thinking about her? Come on! Don’t I know what kind of character that sort of woman has?"
Jasper simply remained silent, knowing that anything he said now would be wrong.
Serena continued, "From another perspective, this is actually a good thing for us. As long as we can capture solid evidence and deliberately expose it to the media for Grandpa to see, I think..."
She raised the corners of her lips into a smug smile, as if victory was already in sight.
Jasper felt conflicted inside, holding a sense of indescribable regret for Laura Quincy...
"I’ll find someone to thoroughly investigate."
"No! It’s better if I handle this matter, Laura is your ex-girlfriend after all, what if you soften at the moment?"
Serena smiled charmingly, having more faith in herself than her husband’s ability to handle things!
Jasper pursed his lips without speaking, but felt very uncomfortable inside.
The news of Serena Jennings’ hospitalization quickly reached her parents. Anxious and restless, they rushed to the hospital. On the way, Mrs. Jennings kept complaining, "Stella, that child, what was she thinking! She knows Serena is pregnant, but still pushes her? How could she be so malicious?"
Mr. Jennings said deeply, "Did you see the facts with your own eyes? I don’t believe Stella would do such a thing!"
Mrs. Jennings said angrily, "What use is your disbelief? The current fact is Serena is hospitalized!"
Mr. Jennings remained silent, clearly worried about this matter too.
Mrs. Jennings, unable to suppress her anger, picked up the phone to call her second daughter, but no one answered the call. She couldn’t help but mutter, "See? Not answering the phone, clearly guilty!"
Mr. Jennings said impatiently, "Enough! I still don’t understand Stella’s character? There must be some misunderstanding!"
Neither could out-argue the other, so they simply stopped talking.
Meanwhile, Stella Jennings roamed aimlessly on the street, feeling like a "walking corpse" if one had to use a term to describe her...
No vitality, no warmth, hands and feet cold...
Since leaving the Hawthorne Family, she didn’t want to go home, assuming the family already knew. Her mother would certainly scold her for being cruel and actually laying hands on her sister...
Hahaha!
The truth? Her mother likely wouldn’t believe it either, because Serena is her most obedient and well-behaved precious daughter, whereas she... is dispensable.
Initially, she thought Jason Hawthorne would call her, but...
Nothing!
Shouldn’t she be heartbroken?
After what happened, she couldn’t possibly marry into the Hawthorne Family now, Serena must have bet on this point to use such a self-inflicted strategy...
To be honest, she couldn’t understand why Serena would take such a big risk to prevent her marriage to Jason Hawthorne.
Compared to Serena, it’s not surprising she would lose.
This New Year’s Eve, to her, might be remembered for a lifetime.
In previous years, Laura Quincy was always awakened by firecrackers early in the morning on New Year’s Day, but this year things seemed much quieter. The villa in this semi-mountainous area is indeed more peaceful than the bustling city, even if firecrackers can be heard, they are far away and won’t feel like they are close to the ear.
Laura Quincy, just opened her eyes when she heard knocking at the door. She quickly dressed and went to open the door.
"Good morning sister, happy new year!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Twinkle said in a soft voice, his eyes smiling brightly, showing he was in a good mood.
Laura rubbed his head and handed him a prepared red envelope, "In the new year, sister hopes Twinkle becomes increasingly clever and grows up healthy and safe."
Twinkle squinted his eyes, "My wish is still the same as last night!"
Laura: "..."
She could only smile to cover the awkwardness, staying forever with this father and son pair?
Is that possible?
While having breakfast, Jason Hawthorne suddenly said, "I’ve booked a ticket for tomorrow to the Vinera vineyard..."
Before he finished, Twinkle clapped excitedly, "Wow! Wonderful! Daddy finally has time to take Twinkle on vacation this year! I’m surely benefiting from sister!"
Laura almost burned her tongue with the congee that she just sipped...
"I..."
Jason glanced at her, "Don’t you really like it there? You even participated in making wine yourself, this time you can drink it."
