CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 104: WOMEN ARE COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE WHEN THEY’RE ANGRY

From the beginning, she wanted more than this!

Impatience grew in Mr. Hawthorne’s eyes, and the strength of his fingers gradually increased, "Speak!"

Laura Quincy gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with endless coldness, "Since your predetermined wife is Stella Jennings, you should never have bothered me from the start! I’ve told you long ago what I wanted. If you think of me as a pet you can play with whenever you want, then I’m blind! I ask you, Fourth Young Master, to let me go as soon as possible."

She spoke each word steadily, her gaze firm.

Chill slowly appeared in Mr. Hawthorne’s eyes, "Stella and I are not as you imagine. It’s impossible for me to marry her, and I haven’t treated you as a pet."

Laura Quincy laughed mockingly and coldly, "Then I really should thank the Fourth Young Master for not treating me as a pet. It would be better for us to part ways amicably! I’m just an ordinary person, and I can’t climb up to you rich heirs. Falling twice indeed shows my blindness, and I hope the Fourth Young Master will be gracious enough to let me go."

Mr. Hawthorne’s face was cold as frost, "What if I don’t let go?"

Laura Quincy sneered, "I’m not a caged pet of yours, Fourth Young Master. Where I want to go is my freedom!"

The subtext being: What if you don’t let go? I can still choose to leave!

Mr. Hawthorne’s gaze was cold as ice, "You sure are tough!"

Laura Quincy turned her head, "This is my principle of life. I might be ordinary, but I won’t stoop to sharing a man with another woman!"

Mr. Hawthorne’s expression slightly improved, "You’re the only woman I have!"

Laura Quincy didn’t believe his words at all at that moment, and while she was angry, she couldn’t be persuaded. To her, Mr. Hawthorne’s explanation was weak and powerless...

What he said was equivalent to saying nothing, completely as if he was brushing her off...

Ha!

Even being in love, she couldn’t be fooled so stupidly by a man’s sweet words. The principles she should adhere to must still be adhered to.

Mr. Hawthorne was quite frustrated; everything he said was true, but Laura Quincy just didn’t believe him. Having never explained himself to any woman before, he was inevitably at a loss...

As the ancients said: Only women and villains are difficult to deal with!

When a woman gets angry, it’s like she turns into a different person...

Completely unreasonable!

After the argument fell apart, Mr. Hawthorne and Laura Quincy went silent on their way.

Aegis Group.

It had reached Jasper Hawthorne’s ears that Jason Hawthorne had been absent for two consecutive days; he was curious as to where his uncle rushed off to after that meeting and was gone for two full days.

After various inquiries, he only learned that he went on a business trip, but the specifics were unclear. Mason Cross’s lips were tighter than the most reliable lock, and no one could pry it open unless he voluntarily disclosed something...

Unable to find out, he could only hold back his curiosity, after all, in the meeting two days ago, his uncle had gained a lot of attention and had severely undermined his father, even his grandfather clearly showed bias towards his uncle.

Given the current situation, he could only seek a stable victory, not rushing into things.

After an intimate moment with Serena Jennings at night, the two lay on the bed panting, and only after a while did they calm down.

Serena Jennings teased the man beside her with her slender fingers, "Is your father really pushing us to have a child?"

Jasper Hawthorne nodded, sweat still on his forehead, "Dad hopes we can turn the raw rice into cooked rice soon, that way grandpa won’t oppose our marriage."

Serena Jennings laughed sweetly, resting on the man’s chest, "We’ve been working hard enough lately, if it still doesn’t happen, then it’s your problem."

Jasper Hawthorne immediately disagreed, "How could it only be my problem?"

Serena Jennings raised an eyebrow, "If it’s not your problem, then is it mine?"

Jasper Hawthorne was somewhat intimidated by her and comforted, "Relax, there won’t be a problem. We’ll know the result next month."

Serena Jennings idly traced circles with her fingers, "If not, we could just let me get pregnant first! After all, the goal is to get married. Once we’re married, we can decide when to have a child."

Upon hearing this, Jasper Hawthorne thought it made sense, "Hmm! That’s a good idea!"

Pleased with the praise, Serena Jennings smiled brightly and gently caressed Jasper Hawthorne’s brow with her fingers, "Has there been any movement from your uncle recently?"

Bringing this up, Jasper Hawthorne said, "My uncle has been away for two days. In the past, we could find out where he went on a business trip, but this time the information is particularly tight, and we can’t find anything."

Serena Jennings withdrew her hand, "Do you think he’s handling something he doesn’t want you to know?"

Jasper Hawthorne shook his head, "Not sure."

Serena Jennings suggested, "Do you want me to help you find out? Maybe I can hear something from my second sister."

Jasper Hawthorne thought it unlikely, "Won’t your second sister be reluctant to reveal anything to you? She didn’t fall for anything last time either."

Talking about this, Serena Jennings felt annoyed, "Actually, I later analyzed it. It should be that your uncle reassured my second sister in time. Otherwise, based on what I know about her, she couldn’t remain completely unaffected."

Jasper Hawthorne squinted his eyes, "I’m getting more and more unable to understand my uncle."

Serena Jennings bit her lip, "Indeed, he’s not simple! Otherwise, just relying on your grandma’s influence on your grandpa wouldn’t work. Without some tactics, he wouldn’t have been able to take that position."

Jasper Hawthorne certainly understood this. Although his uncle was only a few years older, from a young age, all he heard about was him.

Supernatural, intelligent, a genius!

He surpassed expectations and inherited grandpa’s business acumen...

The house was full of praises for him since childhood, so many that they couldn’t be counted, so many that his ears formed calluses from hearing them...

And because of this, he always looked up to his uncle as an idol, and his father kept urging him every day, repeatedly saying, you must surpass your uncle...

So, ever since he was little, he always chased after his third uncle.

It was truly exhausting!

From now on, he must surpass him! Only in this way could he be the most capable successor of the Hawthorne Family!

After arriving in Aethelburg, Jason Hawthorne took Laura Quincy straight to Sunstone Hospital and had his friend John arrange for a comprehensive medical check-up for her.

At the same time, the implicit meaning was that she couldn’t be allowed to leave on her own accord again.

John understood perfectly well; a slip-up like last time wasn’t going to happen a second time. If he couldn’t see that, it would’ve been in vain to mix in these circles.

From getting off the plane to entering the hospital, Laura Quincy ignored Jason Hawthorne completely, no matter what he said to her.

Jason Hawthorne’s patience was completely exhausted. In the end, he was just storming off with a dark face...

Regarding this, Laura Quincy maintained a cold expression. The last person she wanted to see now was The Demon King, and she couldn’t wait to draw a line between them as soon as possible.

When it comes to love, she’s always decisive; she fights for what’s hers; if it’s not hers, she absolutely doesn’t force it!

For three consecutive days, Laura Quincy didn’t see Jason Hawthorne’s face, and she figured it out too: instead of thinking about how to escape from here, it was better to heal quickly and get back to work.

People! Only by keeping busy can many troubles be forgotten...

It’s easy to fall in love with a man; forgetting, however, takes some time.

Jason Hawthorne was also quite agitated these days. After three days of emergency overtime, he arranged with Asher Thorne, Silas Sutton, and Landon Linden to go to Miami to participate in the annual international racing festival.

Asher and the other two knew that Jason only opted for thrilling sports when he encountered unsolvable knots.

It was evident that this time, he was truly emotionally involved...

Jason Hawthorne was dressed in mysterious black, like a noble king of the night!

Asher Thorne wore fiery red, alluringly flamboyant.

Silas Sutton wore pristine white, gracefully serene.

Landon Linden wore clear blue, mature and reserved.

The four of them each had their unique qualities, and upon arriving at the scene, they sparked screams from all the girls present. Even some men whistled, showing that their handsome charm transcended borders and gender!

"Tsk! I didn’t know we were so popular! Looks like we could create a famous group name."

Asher Thorne remarked cheerfully.

The other three simultaneously gave him "You’re such a fool" expressions.

"Don’t retaliate so blatantly, okay!"

"Your family surely doesn’t know how lively you are, right?"

Landon Linden happily countered.

Asher Thorne said ominously, "Have you sorted out the matter with your ex-wife?"

Silas Sutton covered his mouth and lightly coughed, "Enough is enough."

Understanding the cue, Asher Thorne stopped talking and quickly entered the racetrack to prepare.

The cars accompanying them for the race this time were all their own, with performance metrics that could be considered top-notch globally.

"Mr. Hawthorne, how would you like to play this?"

The event coordinator respectfully asked.

Jason Hawthorne lazily lifted his eyelids, "You just need to handle the start; the rest has nothing to do with you."

The coordinator was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded and nodded, "Yes."

Silas Sutton was about to put his phone on silent, but a text popped up.

Bro, I’m over with the cheerleaders. Remember to take me out for a meal after the race! Go for it! You guys are the best!

This girl! She’s like a persistent little sticker!

She even ran over here just to see Asher Thorne; truly causing trouble!

He turned around and saw his little sister Sophie Sutton smiling and waving at him, with a professional camera worth millions around her neck, lens aimed directly at Asher Thorne...

Walking beside him, Landon Linden also noticed her, using his eyes to ask his friend: You actually allow your sister to pursue that playboy Asher Thorne?

Completely unaware, Sophie Sutton gestured a "shh" to them, not wanting Asher Thorne to know.

She planned to give him a surprise later!

As soon as the flag in the hand of the race girl waved down—

Ten race cars shot out like arrows from a string, Jason Hawthorne took the lead, and with skilled maneuvering, executed a perfect drift around a corner, leaving the cars behind in the dust.

Closely following behind him were Silas Sutton and Landon Linden.

Asher Thorne fell slightly behind.

Sophie Sutton stood in the cheerleading squad shouting loudly with the other members, "Young Master Thorne, go!"

Inside the venue, bursts of cheers and whistles continued to erupt.
