Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 226 - 200: Surprises at the Parent-Teacher Meeting

On Friday afternoon, Laura Quincy went early to the kindergarten to attend the parent-teacher meeting for Justin Hawthorne, although Jason Hawthorne originally intended to go with her, Laura stopped him.

"Your injuries aren’t fully healed, and you’ve been secluded for days; are you really prepared to be exposed to the media this afternoon?"

Jason Hawthorne pondered, "But Twinkle... He surely wishes for Daddy and Mommy to attend his parent-teacher meeting together."

Laura knew he deeply cared for Twinkle and didn’t want him to feel let down.

"You decide for yourself then."

"..."

After Laura left, Jason Hawthorne called John to the hospital room, "I want to go out for a bit."

John glanced at his tightly bandaged arm, "Is there anything so necessary that you must go?"

He understood Jason well; given that he had refused all visitors recently, he was intent on maintaining the mystery. Now suddenly he called him over, saying he wanted to go out, unless it was something really important.

Jason Hawthorne shrugged, "This afternoon is Twinkle’s kindergarten parent-teacher meeting demanding both parents to attend. I don’t want to let Twinkle down."

Only then did John understand, so it was for Twinkle.

"You can go, but not for long. Firstly, given your current state, you can’t engage in activities, and secondly, exposing your whereabouts would definitely attract a swarm of reporters, which is not good for your health."

"I know."

"Okay, since you understand the implications, I won’t say more."

"I don’t wish to go looking so heavily bandaged. Is there any way to make me... appear uninjured?"

Jason Hawthorne frowned as he spoke; he didn’t want to face endless parent inquiries at the kindergarten, he just wanted quiet companionship with his son for a while.

John pondered, "Give me half an hour."

Jason Hawthorne nodded, "Alright."

John, not being an expert in this area, needed to consult with Jason Hawthorne’s attending physician. The arm, wounded by a gunshot, wouldn’t heal quickly and needed ample rest and recuperation.

Jade Court Academy is a private elite kindergarten in Aethelburg, renowned for top-notch education quality, excellent privacy, and naturally, exorbitant fees.

Yet parents are still eager to enroll their children here, largely for the label "elite." Everyone believes: children’s education should start from a young age!

Most children studying here are from affluent or influential families, with parents holding strong backgrounds and connections, forming circles of their own.

Further, the principal divides classes based on each child’s family situation, adhering to a strict hierarchy.

Additionally, children from different classes seldom play together, each having designated play areas and specific teachers to avoid chaotic competition and fights among the kids.

When Laura Quincy reached the kindergarten entrance, she realized that the management was strict, requiring detailed registration for entry.

She politely said: "Hello, I am Justin Hawthorne’s parent."

The person lifted their gaze to scrutinize her, seemingly skeptical, "A parent?"

Laura could only say: "I am his mom."

The person lifted their gaze again; Justin Hawthorne is known locally as the "prince" here at the kindergarten. Since his enrollment, only his grandmother visited once, no other immediate family member has come, is this young, attractive woman really his mother?

"Do you have any proof?"

"What?"

Laura was a bit puzzled, did she need evidence?

The person patiently repeated, "Apologies, ma’am, unfortunately there are too many child trafficking incidents nowadays, we must verify the identity of every child’s parent before allowing entry or else we can’t be held responsible for potential issues."

She spoke with sound reasoning, Laura had to agree it was a valid point.

"You are right, strict protocols are correct. In this case, let’s have Twinkle come out and make a verification himself."

Laura didn’t make it difficult for her, knowing it was merely routine practice.

The person glanced at her, "Alright."

Justin Hawthorne didn’t know the matter, but he guessed it must be his elder sister arriving, otherwise why would the teacher call him out?

Just as expected—

"Sis!"

Justin happily ran towards Laura Quincy.

The registration personnel was taken aback. Didn’t the lady say she was Justin Hawthorne’s mom? Why did he call her "sister"?

She hurriedly held Justin back and asked earnestly: "Justin Hawthorne, take a good look, who exactly is she?"

Justin blinked in confusion, "She’s my sister, here for my parent-teacher meeting."
