CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 105: A TWIST OF FATE

The thrilling race process ignited the spectators on site, a large number of people stood up excitedly.

Undoubtedly, the first to cross the finish line could only be Jason Hawthorne.

Asher Thorne was just 0.01 seconds behind Landon Linden, feeling wronged inside, "I think a best-of-three format should be adopted, otherwise, I’m too aggrieved!"

Landon Linden immediately disagreed, "Hey! Are you really such a sore loser?"

Jason Hawthorne said a fair word, "Asher has never had talent in racing, competing in only one event is indeed unfair to him."

Landon Linden caught the key word sensitively, "So, what are the other two events?"

"I’m quite looking forward to taking a trip in space."

Silas Sutton’s smile was radiant.

Asher Thorne looked dark, "I’d rather settle on Mars."

Landon Linden clicked his tongue, "You really think you guys are aliens or something!"

Jason Hawthorne had long been used to it, "The other two events are temporarily shelved, we will discuss them later."

After saying that, he strode out of the arena.

Silas Sutton looked over to the cheerleaders, the little girl was no longer there, presumably went to change clothes. Asher Thorne had always been the playboy among them, he never wanted to let his little sister fall too deep from the start, but he completely couldn’t stop the little girl’s thoughts...

Alas...

After the race, as soon as they walked to the entrance, they were surrounded by a swarm of journalists, fortunately, there were bodyguards on the side blocking them, otherwise, those people would have pounced over.

"Mr. Hawthorne, are you a professional racer?"

"Mr. Sutton, is this your first public appearance?"

"Young Master Thorne, can you tell us your feelings at this moment?"

"Young Master Linden, are you really married?"

Seeing all four of them together at once, the reporters went wild, asking questions non-stop, taking pictures continuously, but since the bodyguards surrounded them, all the photos were of the bodyguards and none were useful.

Jason Hawthorne had a gloomy look on his face, the thing he hated most was crowded places like this, surrounded tightly yet having to walk with difficulty!

Asher Thorne didn’t mind, he was long used to being under the spotlight, being on the headlines is just part of the job!

Getting used to it over time.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!"

In the crowd, a girl was shouting as she walked, her petite figure quickly squeezed to the front.

Thinking she was a reporter, the bodyguard was about to stop her, but she shouted, "Asher Thorne, it’s me!"

Asher Thorne suddenly felt his ears tingle, no way! Sophie Sutton, that little brat, is here too? White is too unkind! Didn’t even notify him!

At first glance, the impression of the pony-tailed little girl had grown up.

"Little girl, why are you here?"

"I heard you guys were competing here, so I came!"

Sophie Sutton was so excited she almost forgot herself, consequently, she stumbled by the crowded reporters.

"Ah—"

Her body uncontrollably fell forward, after the bodyguards knew she was one of their own, they didn’t treat her harshly, and thus she landed on Asher Thorne as she wished.

Click, click...

This scene was instantly captured crazily by the reporters.

It’s just a pity that no perfect front shot was taken, because the tall bodyguards combined with their raised arms completely blocked the view.

The moment Sophie Sutton fell over, Asher Thorne wanted to push her aside, but on second thought she was White’s sister, his sister too, so he held back...

Unknown to his thoughts, Sophie Sutton was blissful inside, thinking that he liked her too, the intense excitement and happiness almost overwhelmed her.

This trip was truly not in vain!

Soon, this exclusive news spread online, clicks soared, quickly becoming the top headline and front page of major websites.

The title was: Although Young Master Thorne did not achieve a top three position in the international racing competition, his secret young girlfriend came to visit, the two were intimate.

The attached unclear pictures were just some of the backside and blurred sides.

But enough to prove the title wasn’t false.

With the news out, Aegis Group and even Aethelburg were in an uproar, many informed people at Aegis Group were worried for Laura Quincy...

So pitiful! Young Master Thorne’s legitimate girlfriend appeared, and she, the lover, could only step aside.

Laura Quincy felt she was completely caught in crossfire, she had no connection to Young Master Thorne at all! With the news out, everyone matched her to the situation, overnight she became the victim...

Seeing this news while recuperating in the hospital, Laura Quincy just felt like laughing, except her phone kept ringing incessantly, with ’sympathy’ calls and ’sympathy’ messages...

She was about to be driven mad!

Just as she was extremely annoyed, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock—

"Sister, are you there?"

Such an adorable, childlike voice could only be Twinkle, Laura Quincy couldn’t refuse him, no matter how deep the grievances among adults, they shouldn’t affect innocent children.

Moreover, she really liked Twinkle.

"Present."

On hearing Laura Quincy’s voice, the door was immediately pushed open, and alongside Twinkle came Jason Hawthorne.

Justin Hawthorne ran joyfully to Laura Quincy’s bedside, tilting his little head seriously as he asked, "Sister, is your leg injury getting better?"

His voice was pure and innocent, full of concern in his big, bright eyes.

Laura Quincy affectionately patted his head, "Sister is much better, I can already get out of bed and walk around."

Justin Hawthorne clapped his hands in sheer delight, "That’s great! I hope sister gets well quickly!"

Then, he turned to his silent father and said, "Daddy, since sister is injured, you must treat her more gently. You can’t lose your temper with her or make her upset! Otherwise, I’ll be unhappy."

Laura Quincy was bewildered. Who taught him such things?

Jason Hawthorne’s face darkened. Could it be that guy Asher Thorne taught him this?

"Daddy understands."

Laura Quincy looked at Jason Hawthorne in disbelief. Was something wrong with his head? What did he mean by agreeing to Twinkle like this?

Didn’t she already make things clear to him?

Justin Hawthorne’s big eyes darted between his father and sister. Before coming, Uncle had specifically instructed him, saying Daddy upset Sister, and he was here to help mend their relationship...

Uncle also said Daddy likes Sister, and if he played his part well, Sister might really become his mommy...

Hehe! If that’s the case, that would be wonderful!

"Daddy, just agreeing isn’t enough."

"Uh..."

Jason Hawthorne felt a bit of a headache. Was this another one of Asher Thorne’s bad ideas?

He immediately said, "This time, Asher has already handled the news incident, and your sick leave can be extended indefinitely until the hospital issues a certificate stating you are fully recovered and can return to work."

Laura Quincy intended to retort, but considering Twinkle was present, she could only say reluctantly, "Thank you, President."

Justin Hawthorne noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two, blinking his big eyes, looking at Laura Quincy, "Sister, are you still unwilling to forgive Daddy?"

His innocent gaze made Laura Quincy feel a bit soft-hearted, but saying she forgave Jason Hawthorne in front of him was quite challenging...

"Sister is just in a bad mood because of the leg injury, but seeing Twinkle makes her happy."

Laura Quincy smiled, intentionally changing the subject, obviously not willing to directly answer whether she forgives Jason Hawthorne.

Her response made Jason Hawthorne slightly disappointed. This little woman is truly stubborn! Even Twinkle’s intervention didn’t work.

Justin Hawthorne blinked his eyes, speaking in a soft voice, "I also feel bad, how about Daddy takes us to the seaside to relax?"

He didn’t use a question sentence; it was a statement.

Laura Quincy suddenly felt immense pressure. Was she digging a hole for herself?

Justin Hawthorne looked at her expectantly, waiting for her answer.

Laura Quincy was stuck between a rock and a hard place, avoiding the first time couldn’t mean evading the second, right?

"Sister’s leg hasn’t healed yet..."

"That’s okay! Daddy can carry Sister, and I can take care of her."

Justin Hawthorne responded with an innocent and sincere expression, straight from the heart.

Laura Quincy was speechless, this...

Seeing her not respond, Justin Hawthorne pouted, "Sister, Twinkle is so lonely alone at home every day. Daddy is always busy with work, often not home even at night... Now even Sister doesn’t want to pay attention to Twinkle?"

Laura Quincy was pained by his pitiful look, "Sister doesn’t ignore Twinkle."

Justin Hawthorne quickly said happily, "Then Sister agrees!"

Laura Quincy: "Uh..."

Justin Hawthorne shouted like firecrackers, "Great! The thing I look forward to the most is going out to relax with Sister!"

Laura Quincy: "Uh..."

She could only sigh silently in her heart, The Demon King’s move is really ruthless! Actually making Twinkle step in, there’s no way she could refuse...

Sapphire Island.

Just getting off the plane, Laura Quincy felt the oncoming heat wave. Spending winter vacation here was indeed a good choice; unfortunately, she couldn’t freely run on the beach, missing out on some fun.

Justin Hawthorne was quite attentive to her mood, "Sister, let Daddy carry you to play by the beach."

Laura Quincy shook her head, "No need, I’ll just watch you play."

Justin Hawthorne shook his head constantly, "That’s not okay! Since we’re relaxing together, we should play together happily!"

Laura Quincy forced a smile, the longer she spent time with Twinkle, the more she could feel his mischievousness!

Typical big mischief in a small body!

So, she could only unwillingly lie on Jason Hawthorne’s back, not exchanging a word with him from start to finish. Luckily, the beach was lively, alleviating some of the awkwardness.

Justin Hawthorne was particularly happy today, running around everywhere with bare feet. Jason Hawthorne, carrying Laura Quincy, was inconvenient and could only follow his son from afar.

Laura Quincy spoke drearily, "Let me down!"

Jason Hawthorne’s voice was low and hoarse, "Still upset?"

Laura Quincy was speechless; did he think she was sulking? She was seriously wanting to cut off contact with him completely!
