Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 232 - 205: As Long as You Know

The most beloved grandson of the Thorne Family’s matriarch is Asher Thorne, and everyone in the Thorne Family is well aware of this. Even the elite circles in Aethelburg rarely find anyone unaware of it.

On top of that, Asher has been smart and clever since childhood, with a sweet tongue, which makes everyone in the Thorne Family fond of him, especially the matriarch, who seems to favor him uniquely.

Eric Thorne has always envied and resented this cousin since childhood. Despite not being inferior to him at all, his grandmother just prefers him, and other elders in the family even say he is deliberately imitating Asher to win the grandmother’s favor...

He inherently has this personality, but unfortunately, Asher was born first in the Thorne Family, and all the glory was taken by him...

Standing there, he was somewhat in a daze, and the grievances and unwillingness from childhood to adulthood suddenly surged...

Asher ignored him, seeming like Eric hadn’t noticed Sophie Sutton’s peculiarity yet, so Asher had to take her away. Otherwise, the more people knew about Sophie’s condition now, the worse it would be for her.

Sophie Sutton watched the scene with interest. She was looking forward to seeing the brothers fight, but alas...

"Had enough?"

Asher noticed the fleeting disappointment in Sophie Sutton’s eyes and couldn’t help teasing her.

Sophie shrugged, smiling innocently, "Not at all!"

Asher’s deep black eyes stared at her. He found it hard to imagine how a pure person like Sophie Sutton could split into the Sophie Sutton before him...

The two were completely opposite personalities, like twins with dichotomous traits, utterly dissimilar...

"Get out of the car, it’s time to go home."

There was undeniable certainty in Asher’s tone.

Sophie Sutton knew, after what happened just now, that it was impossible for her to leave with Eric anymore, and neither would she achieve her purpose.

So, she obediently got out of the car.

Seeing this, Eric’s face turned as black as a pot bottom, further firming his resolve to win Sophie Sutton over!

On the way to send Sophie Sutton back, Asher couldn’t help but ask, "Did you deliberately not answer my calls? What are you actually trying to do?"

Sophie idly peeled her pink-painted nails, her tone casual, "Did you call me? Probably at that time... it wasn’t me!"

Asher glanced at her, utterly startled, "Are you saying that when you were with Eric, you suddenly changed like this? Didn’t he suspect anything?"

Sophie still toyed with her nails, really not understanding the taste of another self, who always liked to wear some pink clothes, and even painted her nails so pink...

"He received a call and returned, and I appeared."

"So, you’re saying you gave him some buffer time, and he didn’t notice anything amiss?"

"Hmmm... he might have had some suspicion! But he just found it strange at most."

Sophie said nonchalantly, while Asher became cautious internally. It seemed there just needs to be a next time, with Eric’s intelligence, he would surely notice something wrong with Sophie.

"From now, never go out with him at night!"

"Are you controlling me?"

Sophie’s tone was flippant and casual, seemingly indifferent to Asher’s warning.

Asher snorted coldly, "I think your second brother would be very happy to control you."

Sophie bit her lip, deeply resenting Asher.

At the same time, she also thanked Asher; if it weren’t for him, her other self might not have appeared...

After Jason Hawthorne’s proposal succeeded, he began preparing to take his wife and son on vacation, superficially for a holiday, but actually wanting to take wedding photos.

However, this must be kept a secret for now.

"Laura, which city would you like to go?"

"I..."

Laura Quincy thought for a moment, "Twinkle wanted to go to Disneyland, right? Let’s go to Hinotori then! But with your current condition, isn’t it inconvenient?"

She glanced at Jason Hawthorne’s tightly bandaged arm, expressing concern.

Jason quickly said, "I’m fine."

Laura gave him a glance, "You think just saying you’re fine makes you fine! There are so many people at the amusement park. Going out injured isn’t safe, what if you encounter something..."

She stopped halfway, obviously feeling it wouldn’t be auspicious to continue.

Jason’s eyes were filled with a smile, "Sweetie, I won’t let myself get into danger again, nor would I let you worry."

Laura pouted, "You better know that."

Pausing, "Lately, I keep recalling things from six years ago, mostly related to... that seaside villa. If possible, I’d like to visit and maybe recall everything."

Jason’s brow showed a trace of worry, "Laura, are you sure about this?"

Laura noticed his concern, "Yes, I have decided. No matter what, it’s a part of my memory. Evading is useless, sooner or later, I’ll remember. Rather than recalling bits and pieces every day, visiting there might stimulate my complete memory."

Her tone was calm, as if she didn’t care.

But Jason could feel that she had endured a severe psychological struggle; she had been so averse to that memory before, yet now she decided to face it calmly.

For her, it surely wasn’t easy.

"No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you, but you must promise me, even if the process is hard, don’t keep it to yourself. If you want to vent, vent it on me, okay?"

Jason’s deep and magnetic voice was extraordinarily gentle.

Instantly, Laura felt no fear or worry. No matter what happens, this man would be her strongest support!

"Okay."

Jason held the woman in his arms tightly, cherishing the serene time, as long as she was there, it was enough.

As for other matters, he would handle them all.

The flight to Hinotori was scheduled three days later. Some things needed to be settled.

During Jason’s hospitalization days, within the Aegis Group, the most ’active’ figure was his eldest brother, Wade Hawthorne, who couldn’t wait to let his third brother step down and take that position himself...

It was made too obvious, everyone was aware immediately.

That afternoon, Wade and his son Jasper Hawthorne were discussing a project in the office, and at the end, Jasper said worriedly, "Dad, lately, a lot of people in the company are secretly discussing, which seems to be not very good for us."

Wade took a fierce puff of cigarettes, "Those in pursuit of great achievements overlook minor matters! Those who are gossiping behind our backs are definitely the followers of your uncle Jason’s side. They are just trying to use public opinion to disturb us, to make us cautious."

Jasper frowned and thought, his father’s words might not be entirely unreasonable. The situation had become very clear; it was merely about choosing sides...

"Dad, I understand, but..."

"I know what you’re worried about. Your uncles will definitely seize this opportunity to frame your third uncle’s injury on us, yet the more they do, the calmer we need to be. If we haven’t done it, there’s nothing to fear, right?"
