CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: I HAVEN’T SETTLED THE SCORE WITH YOU YET

In a moment of urgency, she blurted out the nickname she had for Justin Hawthorne.

Jason Hawthorne’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Swearing these poor tactics has long been ineffective."

Laura Quincy was anxious, "Hey! What’s wrong with you! You have such a high opinion of yourself! Do you really think all the women in the world should like you, go crazy for you? Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I have zero interest in cold... icy men like you!"

She almost said the words "Cold-Blooded Demon King."

Jason Hawthorne sneered coldly, "You don’t need to deliberately say the opposite to provoke my interest, this trick has become all too common!"

Laura Quincy was so angry that even the corners of her lips trembled. Is this the so-called abstinent male god from online forums? Don’t be too narcissistic!

She took a deep breath, "What would it take for President Hawthorne to believe me?"

Jason Hawthorne spoke unhurriedly, "You vomited all over me, I haven’t even settled that with you yet."

Laura Quincy struggled to control her emotions, "How about you falsely accusing me of being a kidnapper and getting me detained at the police station for 24 hours? Besides, if President Hawthorne didn’t repay my kindness with revenge first, would I have been in a bad mood and gone drinking? And I never asked you to come look for me after I got drunk!"

Her implication was: It was your own doing that you got vomited on...

Jason Hawthorne’s dark eyes grew ever colder, as if they were coated in ice, "Miss Quincy is indeed eloquent!"

Laura Quincy pursed her lips, "I’m just telling the truth."

Jason Hawthorne stared coldly at her for a few seconds, as if trying to see through her, yet couldn’t discern anything, which annoyed him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside, and Jason Hawthorne spoke with a gloomy face, "Come in."

The only person who would dare to knock and interrupt the conversation inside at this time was his confidant and good brother, Asher Thorne, who was also the team leader of the third translation team.

Asher Thorne came from a diplomatic family, his grandfather once served as a diplomat, and his father is the current diplomat, with uncles and elder relatives holding important positions, yet he is a renowned playboy in Dravenfall, charming and carefree, without any seriousness.

Despite this, he is a diplomatic genius, growing up in a multilingual environment, he is proficient in seven languages, and has publicly expressed support for Jason Hawthorne, even helping him to seize the Hawthorne Family’s "throne."

"Jason, is this the beautiful new translator for our team?"

Asher Thorne said with a beaming smile, his eyes slightly narrowing like peach blossoms, radiating an April-like rosy glow, he inconspicuously sized up Laura Quincy, so this was Twinkle’s birth mother...

Jason really has a good eye!

Laura Quincy looked up at the man who entered, noting he called the Cold-Blooded Demon King "Jason," suggesting their intimate relationship; he said she was the "beautiful new translator in our team," could he be the flirtatious team leader Asher Thorne that Crystal Langley mentioned?

Jason Hawthorne nodded with a stern brow, "Mm, this is Laura Quincy."

Asher Thorne instantly moved in front of Laura Quincy, extending his hand with a broad smile, "Little Laura, it’s nice to meet you for the first time!"

Laura Quincy immediately got goosebumps all over, awkwardly tugged at the corners of her lips, and extended her hand to shake his, "Team Leader Thorne, you should call me Quincy."

"Little Laura..."

Asher Thorne had just said two words when he heard Jason Hawthorne lightly cough, he couldn’t help but glance at his friend, seeing his face was dark and cold, and immediately changed his address, "Miss Quincy, are you getting used to work?"

Laura Quincy was filled with exasperation, she really didn’t expect the team leader to be such a flamboyant man, and he actually was good friends with someone as cold-blooded as Jason Hawthorne?
