Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 213 - 189: A Dramatic Reunion

Churchill, having witnessed the scene, was already stunned, oh my god! Is this really Sophie Sutton, the person she’s known for six years?

How come she didn’t know Sophie was so commanding?

And since when did she get such great skills?

She’s practically... as fast as lightning!

At the same time, Asher Thorne also witnessed this scene.

He was almost certain that the Sophie Sutton in front of him was the person he was looking for; after more than two months, she appeared again unexpectedly.

And every time she appeared, it would bring... surprises!

When Connor Sterling, his special assistant, came back with snacks, he saw the boss staring in a particular direction, so he looked over and blinked, "Young Master Thorne, isn’t that Miss Sutton? She seems to be getting harassed by a man."

Asher shot him a glance, "Are you sure she’s being harassed by the man and not about to twist the man’s arm off?"

Connor couldn’t believe it and rubbed his eyes again, "Boss, did I really not see wrong? Is that person really Miss Sutton?"

Asher furrowed his brows, "Connor, don’t you also find this scene incredible?"

Connor nodded in astonishment.

Asher continued, "Take out your phone and record what you see."

Connor widened his eyes in confusion, "Huh?"

Asher gave him a sidelong glance, "Hurry!"

Connor hurriedly took out his phone and quickly recorded the scene in front of him.

Sophie Sutton, completely unaware that she was being filmed...

She looked coldly at the man in front of her, "I’ve already warned you, and it’s you who overestimated yourself and insisted on asking for trouble. Is it my fault?"

The sleazy man grimaced in pain, "Auntie, please have mercy and spare me! I will never dare again! It’s my fault for failing to recognize greatness and colliding with you..."

He kept apologizing, almost to the point of banging his head on the ground.

Sophie Sutton exerted force with her wrist, and a "crack" sound came from the man’s bones before she released him, her voice still cold, "This is your lesson!"

The sleazy man didn’t dare say anything more, retreating in panic and wetting himself...

After they left, Churchill exaggeratedly said, "Sophie! I feel like I need to get to know you all over again! You were too cool just now! So awesome! When did you learn taekwondo? Why didn’t I know anything about it?"

Sophie Sutton flexed her wrist with a bewildered look, "Did I learn taekwondo?"

Churchill blinked, "SO?"

Sophie Sutton shrugged, her eyes gradually warming, "Let’s continue! I don’t think there’ll be any more men bothering us."

Churchill looked at her with starry eyes, "Sophie, you have no idea how cool you looked just now! If Ethan Ford and the others were here, they’d probably think they were seeing an illusion."

Sophie Sutton picked up her glass and took a sip, muttering, "I’ve always been like this!"

But unfortunately, Churchill was lost in her own thoughts and didn’t hear what was said, also because Sophie Sutton’s words were slightly muffled with the drink.

"Hmm? What did you just say?" she asked again.

Just as Sophie Sutton was about to speak, she suddenly felt a shadow cast over her, instantly frowning in displeasure at the newcomer.

Asher Thorne stared unblinkingly at Sophie Sutton in front of him, wondering who she really was. Could she really be Sophie Sutton? Why was her personality so different?

Sophie recognized him as the man who "pestered" her last time, challenging him with a cold and defiant look.

Asher’s lips curved upward inexplicably. Again with this aloof and domineering look; coming out tonight was worth it!

He finally found her!

Before getting out of the car, he had already instructed Connor to send a text to White, asking him to come over quickly. Once he arrived, everything would become clear.

"Sophie Sutton?"

To confirm the "authenticity" again, Asher’s tone carried a hint of doubt.

Sophie looked at him impatiently, "There are plenty of people who know me, Sophie Sutton! Do I need to know every person who knows me?"

Her tone was icy, matching the sharp-tongued image from last time perfectly.

Asher involuntarily curved his lips in a smile, "You were calling me ’Asher Thorne’ so earnestly during the day, but at night you don’t recognize me anymore?"

His words brought a flicker of doubt to Sophie’s brow, as if verifying the truth in his words.

But it was just for a second, before she scoffed disdainfully, "This kind of flirting technique doesn’t work on me! Besides, am I the kind of girl who would call ’Asher Thorne’ like some softie?"

Sophie’s gaze was cold and ruthless, treating Asher as one of those clingy, obnoxious men.

Churchill was so shocked that the chicken wing she had just put in her mouth fell out, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Sophie, aren’t you the one who likes Young Master Thorne the most? What’s going on?"

Churchill’s words made Sophie Sutton’s eyes flash with a hint of surprise. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, as many fragments flashed through her mind... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Two minutes later, she raised her head as if nothing had happened.

"Liking or disliking someone is sometimes just a fleeting thought! When I like you, you are my whole world; when I don’t, you’re not even as good as a piece of trash at my feet!"

Sophie Sutton emphasized the last sentence, her eyes provocatively looking at Asher Thorne.

Anyone could see that she no longer liked Asher Thorne; in fact, she was...disgusted by him.

Churchill suddenly stood up, angrily looking at Asher Thorne, "Young Master Thorne, you’re not welcome here! Just leave! When our Sophie liked you before, you never even glanced at her, now what are you doing here? Sophie is right! You’re now not even as pleasing as the trash at our feet!"

She had been friends with Sophie Sutton for many years, with an unusual bond. Every time she saw her friend pining after Asher Thorne, she felt heartache for her. But now, Sophie had finally figured it out!

There are plenty of good men in Aethelburg, we don’t need Asher Thorne!

Asher Thorne, insulted to the point of being compared to trash, awkwardly rubbed his nose. The Sophie Sutton he had met one night two months ago had also treated him with coldness and disdain, yet afterward, she still clung to him as usual...

Seeing her again tonight, her sharp tongue had not dulled. But will she really not turn into that Sophie who relentlessly pursued him when he sees her again tomorrow?

"Ahem... I hope you don’t change your mind tomorrow."

Leaving behind this ambiguous remark, Asher Thorne turned and walked away.

Why would he stay when he was so despised? Wouldn’t that be crazy?

Besides, there’s no rush in uncovering the truth; he believed things would only get more interesting...

Shortly after he left, he received a call from Silas Sutton, "I’m already at Quinton South Road, exactly where are the street stalls you mentioned?"

Asher Thorne slapped his forehead, how could he forget about White?

"Second brother, are you at the place with lots of little stalls? Did you see Sophie Sutton and her friend?"

Silas Sutton shook his head, "No, where are you?"

Asher Thorne had to instruct the driver to turn around and head back to the place he just left.

Five minutes later.

Asher Thorne and Silas Sutton finally met, but unfortunately, Sophie Sutton and Churchill had already left, and they were a step too late.

Silas Sutton, having come from afar only to not meet anyone, was inevitably unhappy, "You asked me to come meet Sophie, and then you left yourself?"

Asher Thorne looked helpless, "She said I’m not even as good as the trash at her feet. Why would I stay? I don’t have a masochistic tendency."

Silas Sutton narrowed his eyes, "Sophie would say something like that?"

Asher Thorne knew his friend wouldn’t believe it, so he immediately shouted, "Connor, quickly show the video you just recorded."

Connor Sterling swiftly pulled up the video and handed it over.

He had recorded it without a proper beginning or end. The video started with Sophie Sutton gripping a man’s wrist. Although it was from a distance, Silas Sutton could still see the coldness radiating from his younger sister’s eyes...

Is this really the Sophie he knew?

Her indifference to Asher Thorne in the video also surprised Silas Sutton greatly. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would find it hard to believe...

"Is she really Sophie?"

Silas Sutton questioned hesitantly.

Asher Thorne glanced at his friend, "I didn’t believe at first that she was Sophie, but she’s also called Sophie Sutton. Do you think there could be two identical people with the same name in this world? Last time I saw her, there was no one else around, which made me doubt my own eyes. But this time, Churchill was there, she’s a living witness!"

Silas Sutton also knew without a doubt. He recognized Churchill from the video as one of Sophie’s friends.

But still...

This situation was a bit too bizarre!

Asher Thorne said slowly, "White, let me say something weakly! Don’t get angry; it’s just a speculation."

Silas Sutton shot him a sidelong glance, "Speak!"

Asher Thorne took a step back, "Could Sophie have dissociative identity disorder?"

Silas Sutton instantly gritted his teeth, words escaping one by one from between them, "Asher!"

Asher Thorne took another step back, "I said it was just a speculation. I knew you couldn’t accept it—forget it! Pretend I didn’t say anything!"

Silas Sutton pressed his lips together without a word. If Sophie really had dissociative identity disorder...

For about ten consecutive days, the front page headlines in Aethelburg were monopolized by Jason Hawthorne. First, he held a press conference announcing that Laura Quincy was his only serious girlfriend, then netizens photographed him dining with his son and Laura Quincy at a restaurant...

A few days later, there were rumors that Jason Hawthorne’s position as Executive CEO at Aegis Group was precarious, and he could be replaced at any moment.
