Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 200 - 179: Confessing to Her in Public

Serena Jennings couldn’t believe it as she exclaimed, "Is Uncle Jason crazy? He actually publicly announced that Laura Quincy is his girlfriend? What kind of charm does that woman have to enchant Uncle Jason like this?"

Jasper Hawthorne pressed his lips together without speaking; to be honest, deep down, he suddenly felt a bit jealous of Uncle Jason...

Wade Hawthorne also didn’t expect this outcome, "So be it! I fear Father will be furious when he sees this press conference."

Serena Jennings revealed a sinister smile at the corner of her lips, "Uncle Jason really likes to do the opposite, but this actually benefits us!"

Wade Hawthorne frowned, "Is Fourth Young Master really enchanted by some dark spirit with this move?"

Serena Jennings comforted him, "Dad, don’t worry about it, no matter what Uncle Jason is thinking, we have the upper hand this time."

Only then did Wade Hawthorne smile with relief, "Mm, finally there’s hope in sight."

The Hawthorne Estate was shrouded in gloom at this moment. Old Master Hawthorne, after watching the news, was so angry that he threw his teacup. Although he had agreed not to marry Stella Jennings, letting a woman full of scandals into the Hawthorne Family was impossible!

Eleanor Ford could only keep soothing her husband, "Honey, don’t hurt your health with anger. I’ll talk to Jason; he’s being too reckless!"

Angus Hawthorne said angrily, "That brat is getting more and more out of control!"

Eleanor Ford agreed, "Exactly! I will definitely give him a good talking to!"

Under his wife’s comforting, Angus Hawthorne’s anger gradually subsided, "He’s becoming more and more unruly! You, as his mother, need to remind him constantly!"

Eleanor Ford nodded repeatedly, "Honey, your health is your own, don’t let it get to you because of Jason. I’ll call him later to give him a proper scolding!"

Angus Hawthorne said nothing more, "Mm."

His anger quickly reached the ears of the eldest, Wade Hawthorne, and the second, Wyatt Hawthorne. Each of them internally delighted, all waiting to see the drama unfold!

The second-born, Wyatt Hawthorne, felt both joy and worry; joyful that the fourth’s position could finally be shaken, worried that the one benefiting wasn’t himself.

Lana Hawthorne suggested, "Second brother, I think this is a golden opportunity. We can’t sit idly by; even if we can’t snatch the heir’s position, at least we should find a chance to contend with the eldest, otherwise it’ll be hard to rise again in the future!"

Wyatt Hawthorne sighed, "Indeed! The eldest might wear a friendly face, but he’s more ruthless than the fourth. To eliminate any threats, he will surely cut off our avenues completely."

Lana Hawthorne asked, "So what should we do now?"

Wyatt Hawthorne pondered for a while, "Those contacts we established before should be activated, give them some incentives, coax them to stand with us..."

Lana Hawthorne nodded frequently.

The two of them were whispering about their next strategies...

Since the incident on New Year’s Eve, Stella Jennings went to Ostral alone for a vacation to avoid disturbances on her ears.

Only this way could her mind find complete peace.

Alone, she stayed in a seaside five-star hotel, and in the evenings, she would stroll barefoot on the beach, occasionally being approached by tall, handsome men...

On the third night, after drinking a bit too much, she had a one-night stand with a handsome mixed-race guy. Afterward, she found that she didn’t regret it; instead, she felt a liberating... pleasure.

On the morning of the fifth day, she picked up her phone and opened Weibo, just in time to see the full video of Jason Hawthorne’s press conference.

After watching it, she merely curled her lips into a cold smile, unable to pinpoint her feelings...

About half an hour later, she seemed to remember something and watched the video again. She hadn’t heard wrong; Jason Hawthorne did say that he knew Laura Quincy earlier than herself.

If he wasn’t lying, does that mean the incident with Laura Quincy being sold six years ago is related to him?

Realizing this, she suddenly thought she’d stumbled upon a huge secret. Six years ago? Justin Hawthorne is just over five years old now...

Something seemed to become clearer...

Suddenly, she mockingly curled her lips again. Even if she guessed right, so what? She had no mood to bother with these matters now.

In the video, Jason Hawthorne said she was a good girl; perhaps it was this sentence that made her hatred for him not so pronounced!

After all, the one who hurt her the most wasn’t him.

All she wanted now was to enjoy her vacation here and not worry about other matters. There were plenty of anxious people; why not sit back and watch the show?

Phoebe Turner, who leaked the news, originally thought she could see Laura Quincy’s disgrace, but unexpectedly, she ended up making a fool of herself.

After watching the live broadcast, her fingernails dug deep into her flesh...

At that moment, she was insanely jealous of Laura Quincy!

Why does she have such a good life?

Clearly, six years ago she was sold to Fiorina, but Fourth Young Master Hawthorne says she was just studying at the University of Aethelgard?

And he even says this rumor is baseless slander?

Why does a woman with such a stained past still receive the love of Fourth Young Master Hawthorne?

Phoebe Turner grew more and more unwilling to accept it, her teeth grinding in hatred, especially since that Weibo marketing account threatened her earlier, saying they’d drag her to jail too...

How could she not hate Laura Quincy?

To avoid getting into trouble, she simply went to her mother’s old home in a poor rural village—better to escape the hassle than end up in jail.

Victor Turner and Ruth Leighton were also immensely shocked when they saw the news; Ruth Leighton collapsed onto the ground, "Finally made it big!"

Victor Turner wore a sullen expression without saying a word.

Ruth Leighton continued, "Honey, Laura Quincy has now hooked up with Fourth Young Master Hawthorne. Call her and ask her to spare me! I really know I was wrong. We’re family, after all; she made it big but is dragging us down. Does that make sense?"

Victor Turner angrily retorted, "Shut up!"

Then, he stood up and left.

He never paid attention to his eldest daughter. In the years after his first wife passed away, his heart was entirely with Ruth Leighton and her daughter, and he couldn’t stand the sight of Laura Quincy, always feeling like his first wife’s eyes were watching him through her...

At that time, he didn’t give Laura Quincy any attention, even when Ruth Leighton and her daughter bullied her, he turned a blind eye...

Only in the past couple of years has he started to pay more attention to this eldest daughter.

Unfortunately, it’s too late.

Laura Quincy’s emotions were mixed after watching the video, each word from Jason Hawthorne echoing in her mind...

"Laura Quincy is the woman I’m seriously dating."

"Laura Quincy never came between Stella Jennings and me; I knew her well before I met Stella Jennings."

Though the press conference was only 8 minutes and 37 seconds long, Laura Quincy could feel that every word Jason Hawthorne said was supporting her, publicly announcing in front of so many people that she was his serious girlfriend.

She could hear him emphasize the word "serious" and even said their relationship wouldn’t end.

If he had told her this in private, she would have found it laughable...

But hearing it in the live broadcast, she felt an indescribable emotion.

Mary handed her a cup of hot cocoa, "See! Jason is confessing to you in front of the whole world! A man should be this brave!"

Laura Quincy gave a wry smile, "Don’t tease me, there’s clearly no future for us..."

Mary countered, "Who says so? I believe you will be happy forever! Although what he did six years ago was indeed too much, who doesn’t make mistakes? Jason was just too arrogant. When Jason first met you, John had warned him, but he didn’t think it was an issue, and now he’s finally realizing the consequences."

"Actually, after this, we’ve all noticed his change. In the past, he was very patriarchal, bossy, and extremely cold towards women. He only ever had Stella Jennings around as she was chosen as an appropriate marriage candidate by his family..."

"Since he met you, we all felt he changed a lot. Before meeting you, he was an emotionless workaholic, but meeting you made him more like a real man..."

Laura Quincy pouted, "Hearing this, he does sound like a really good and excellent man."

Mary smiled, "Objectively speaking, Jason is very good, but he also went through a gradual transformation. You could see his actions from six years ago as scummy; he was a powerful, cold man who didn’t understand feelings."

She deliberately paused for two seconds, "But after meeting you, he changed and is willing to become better for you and Twinkle. Isn’t that valuable?"

Laura Quincy didn’t respond, but what Mary said made sense, and it made her waver a bit.

She finally let out a bitter smile, "Even if what happened six years ago was an accident, I can never forgive him for the deception after we met again. He could have told me the truth, why didn’t he say anything? I hate being lied to the most."

Mary set down her cup, "Being lied to is indeed terrible! Let’s make him suffer a bit more, can’t forgive him that easily!"

Laura Quincy chuckled, and it seemed her heart’s knot had loosened a bit.
