Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 212 - 188: Unite and Win!

Laura Quincy was momentarily unsure whether she should leave or stay, knowing that leaving like this would definitely have a bad influence on Twinkle...

Eleanor Ford also weighed these factors and raised her eyebrows to look at her grandson, "Twinkle, dear, you and Daddy go upstairs to play first. Grandma and Miss Quincy will have a chat alone, okay?"

Her tone was as gentle as possible, not wanting to scare her grandson.

Justin Hawthorne pouted, "Grandma, you are not allowed to be mean to sister. She is my invited guest."

Eleanor Ford patted the grandson’s head, "Mm, Twinkle, don’t worry!"

Justin Hawthorne ran over to Laura Quincy with a "thump, thump, thump," raised his little face, and said, "Sister, my grandmother is actually very nice, don’t be afraid. If she says something that’s not nice to you and you get upset, just shout for me and Daddy, we’ll come down and protect you immediately."

He spoke with a sense of manliness, and his tone couldn’t have been more serious.

Laura Quincy felt a sudden warmth in her heart for no reason - this was her son...

A real little gentleman!

She glanced lovingly at Twinkle, "Mm, sister knows."

Jason Hawthorne frowned and called out, "Mom."

Clearly, not wanting his mother and Laura Quincy to have a chat alone.

Laura Quincy, however, knew that she couldn’t avoid it no matter what, so she simply volunteered, "It’s okay."

Even if she could avoid it today, could she avoid it tomorrow?

Rather than let Jason be troubled like this, it was better to openly talk to his mother. No matter the outcome, she wouldn’t back down!

Eleanor Ford glanced at her son, as if to say: what are you panicking about when she hasn’t said anything?

Jason Hawthorne could only give Laura Quincy a look that said, "I’m here, don’t be afraid!"

Laura Quincy returned him a knowing glance...

Little did she know, watching her son and Laura exchange glances like this made Eleanor Ford so angry that her liver hurt...

But in front of them, she had to hold it in.

After Jason Hawthorne took his son upstairs, Eleanor Ford and Laura Quincy went to the backyard.

Eleanor Ford got straight to the point, "Miss Quincy, I believe you’re a smart person. I don’t like you! And I don’t want you to become my daughter-in-law! Of course, your idea of marrying into the Hawthorne Family is also impossible to achieve."

Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

Laura Quincy took a deep breath, "Auntie, I think you have a prejudice against me. I promised Jason I would trust him. No matter what you say, I will not waver."

Eleanor Ford glared at her furiously, "You really are thick-skinned! Do you think that just because you have my son in your grip, you can definitely marry into our family? Stop dreaming!"

Laura Quincy did her best to soften her tone, "Auntie, I understand your intention is nothing more than to make me angry and leave Jason."

Eleanor Ford stared at her in disbelief; was this woman’s heart made of iron?

So impervious to any attack?

"Indeed, since Miss Quincy is a smart person, there’s no need for me to say more. It’s impossible for you to marry my son, so just give up!"

Eleanor Ford said smugly, convinced that Laura Quincy would be scared away.

The result—

Laura Quincy wasn’t angry at all, "Thank you for your advice, but I still stand by what I said, unless Jason personally tells me to break up, otherwise I won’t be scared away by any external factors."

Her tone was equally firm; she knew that the more this happened, the more she needed to stand her ground.

Eleanor Ford was so angry her hands were shaking, "Do you not understand human language? I will never allow you to enter our family’s door."

Laura Quincy pressed her lips together and spoke calmly, "I understand, but I’m not a soap opera heroine who would run away after being threatened. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed."

Eleanor Ford looked at her as if she was a monster; how could there be such a woman?

Completely impervious to reason!

It was as if she didn’t understand anything that was being said!

"You..."

"I’m just this kind of person. If I’ve upset you, please calm down and don’t bother with me."

Laura Quin’s tone was appropriate, humble yet respectful.

No matter what, the other party was still Jason Hawthorne’s mother, Twinkle’s grandmother, and there was no need to have an unpleasant confrontation with her. Even though she really disliked herself, she had to deal with her with a smile.

Eleanor Ford was completely at a loss for words...

When Jason Hawthorne came downstairs, he saw his mother holding her bag, ready to leave in a huff, and couldn’t help but say, "Mom, please don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ll have the driver take you back."

Eleanor Ford glared at her son angrily, "I think you’re doing this on purpose! I’ll say it one more time, letting that woman into the Hawthorne Family is absolutely impossible!"

Jason Hawthorne was quite headachy, "Mom, go home and get some rest."

Eleanor Ford snorted and stormed out.

After she left, Laura Quincy cast Jason Hawthorne an apologetic glance, "Is your mom okay?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Jason Hawthorne shook his head, "My mom is just like that. Don’t take it to heart, did she trouble you?"

Laura shrugged, "Look at how angry she is, while I’m just fine. How could she trouble me?"

Jason Hawthorne gazed at her warmly, "I know my mom must have said a lot of harsh things, but you were magnanimous enough not to take them to heart. Laura, I won’t let down the trust you have in me."

Laura’s heart was once again softly struck.

For the past few days, Laura barely watched any news or logged onto Weibo, focusing solely on studying at home and accompanying Twinkle. Jason, however, was busy with work and often returned home near midnight.

"You’re back!"

A gentle female voice filled the room, and Jason’s expression softened unconsciously, "Did I wake you?"

Laura shook her head, "I wasn’t asleep yet."

Jason couldn’t resist teasing, "Thinking of me so much that you can’t sleep?"

Laura shot him a playful glare, "In your dreams! I wasn’t thinking of you at all!"

With that, she turned to head back to her room.

But Jason hugged her from behind, "I misspoke, it’s me who missed you too much..."

His deep, magnetic voice was especially intoxicating, particularly on such a rich night.

Laura shivered slightly, feeling goosebumps rise all over her, and her pores opening up...

Desperately changing the topic, she asked, "Has work been busy lately?"

Jason responded evasively, "It’s fine, all within what I can handle, don’t worry."

Laura knew she couldn’t help him in this aspect, "Oh... Just make sure to eat on time, no matter how busy you are."

"Hmm, health is the foundation of everything, I won’t let myself get exhausted."

"Then... quickly freshen up and rest early."

Laura didn’t want to probe further into his work matters because she couldn’t understand them anyway; asking would be useless. It was better to accompany Twinkle well and just trust him.

"But I just want to..."

Asher Thorne was working overtime that night, and on the way home, he asked his assistant to buy some street food for him. He lit a cigarette while sitting in the car.

Just halfway through his cigarette, he spotted a familiar figure.

His posture while smoking paused slightly, his black eyes squinting a bit; why was Sophie Sutton at a street stall late at night?

Could it not be her?

After seeing the other her at "Twilight" last time, it had been over two months, and he was almost ready to give up the search.

Sophie was invited out by her friend Churchill that night; it was unusual for her to eat in such places, which surprised Churchill greatly when she agreed!

Churchill, having just gone through a breakup, called Sophie late at night to ask her to come out for drinks, fully expecting rejection.

But Sophie agreed immediately.

The moment they met, Churchill felt there was something different about Sophie tonight compared to the past, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what...

In any case... her presence seemed more powerful than usual?

Feeling down herself, Churchill didn’t think much of it and ordered a whole crate of beer from the owner, saying they wouldn’t leave until they were drunk!

Two beautiful girls drinking at a roadside stall inevitably attracted attention, especially since they both had such great charisma!

After just two bottles, they were harassed.

"Hey! Little sister, feeling down? Want us big brothers to cheer you up?"

The man’s lecherous voice was downright repulsive.

Sophie flicked her hair, her gaze slowly narrowing, cold as ice, "Scram! Don’t ruin my mood for drinking!"

Her tone was assertive and domineering, completely disregarding the man in front of her.

The man apparently didn’t expect the woman in front of him to be so imposing, sparking a strong desire to conquer, "Didn’t see that coming! A spicy little pepper! Nice! Big brother likes it!"

Sophie’s eyes remained icy, "Like your sister! Look in the mirror at your behavior! I’ll say it again, scram!"

She spoke every word with the full flair of a domineering woman!

Her words burst with coldness, making the men take a second look, maybe they really encountered a tough one?

A timid guy nearby whispered, "Boss, I think she’s someone important, maybe we should..."

Before he could finish, the leading man interrupted him, "Back off? Is that all your guts?"

Then he turned to Sophie, saying, "Little sister, it’s not good to be too aggressive when you’re out. Tonight, big brother will teach you how to properly deal with men..."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, reaching to touch Sophie’s face.

But——

Sophie twisted his wrist, causing him so much pain he felt like crying for his parents...

What’s more, he hadn’t even noticed how the woman in front of him moved—was he really dealing with someone tough?
