CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: BOLT FROM THE BLUE 2

Thinking about this, Laura Quincy bit her lower lip. She didn’t want to cry in front of The Demon King! She had to be strong! If all this was true and Jasper couldn’t give her a reasonable explanation, then...

She would never forgive him again!

Once she made up her mind, she prepared to leave, but Jason Hawthorne grabbed her, "In your current state, can you even go to the banquet hall? Do you want everyone to notice something’s wrong with you?"

Laura Quincy jerked his hand away and couldn’t help but shout, "Then what do you want me to do? Am I a robot? Should I still smile and bless seeing my boyfriend paired with another woman? Overnight, all the love became an illusion, all the sweet words were lies. Am I not even allowed to be sad?"

Jason Hawthorne’s face was as if covered by frost, "Do you really like him that much?"

Laura Quincy almost broke down, "After a two-year relationship, how could I just stop liking him just like that?"

Jason Hawthorne’s face darkened, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching and hurriedly pulled Laura Quincy into the fitting room in front of them.

Laura Quincy was about to resist when she heard a familiar male voice.

"Serena, isn’t this bad?"

"Jasper, don’t you miss me?"

His voice gradually became hoarse, "Miss... of course, I miss..."

Serena Jennings continued, "Then kiss me."

Then, their lips locked together as if glued to each other...

"Even if you bite your lips until they bleed, they won’t know."

As soon as the words fell, Laura Quincy released her jaws and glared angrily at Jason Hawthorne, her heart filled with deep sadness.

Listening to Jasper Hawthorne and that girl’s conversation, it’s clear they didn’t just meet tonight. Does this mean he’s been two-timing behind her back all along?

An unnamed fire flared up in her mind, and she wanted to rush out and slap the scumbag!

As she hesitated whether to take action, the two outside started talking again.

"Jasper, it seems like someone is coming..."

Serena Jennings’s voice was a bit breathless.

Jasper Hawthorne hurriedly said, "Then shall we go to the fitting room?"

Then the woman giggled coquettishly, "Bad boy! Weren’t you just saying no?"

Jasper Hawthorne’s voice, "Little demon! Wasn’t it you who seduced me?"

Laura Quincy had never heard such a tone from her boyfriend, and her head felt like it was about to explode, her feet seemed out of control, urging her to rush out...

Luckily, Jason Hawthorne timely restrained her, scolding in a low voice, "What do you think you’re doing?"

Laura Quincy struggled relentlessly, "Let go! I have to go out and get to the bottom of this!

As they were speaking, the noises outside grew louder, and seeing that Jasper Hawthorne and Serena Jennings were about to open the door and come in, Jason Hawthorne reluctantly had to pull Laura Quincy into the cabinet behind the clothing rack.

Laura Quincy initially refused, but Jason Hawthorne whispered, "Even if you want to confront him, now isn’t the time to do it looking all disheveled and impulsive!"

Laura Quincy understood. His words made sense. Even if she stood in front of Jasper Hawthorne at this moment, what good would it do?

In her current state, comparing herself to that girl, she would definitely lose, and—

It would only end up being embarrassing for herself.

Rather than rushing out now, she’d better listen to The Demon King.

However, as soon as she hid in the cabinet, Laura Quincy regretted it...

The space inside the cabinet was narrow and small, difficult for one person to squeeze in, let alone two. She had to press against The Demon King, which she particularly disliked!

But things had developed to this point, she could only endure it for now...

"Don’t be so close to me."

Jason Hawthorne’s voice rasped, "The cabinet is this small, I can’t move at all."

Laura Quincy was full of shame and annoyance. Fortunately, in the pitch-black cabinet, nothing could be seen, and since The Demon King wouldn’t budge, she could only try to move back herself.

Aiming to distance herself from this dangerous man.

Every time she got close to him, she couldn’t help but remember the scene where he forcibly kissed her before...

The image was vividly clear.

Her face, involuntarily, began to burn.

Jason Hawthorne couldn’t help but remind her, "If you move back any further, the cabinet will move..."

As he spoke, the door was pushed open.

Laura Quincy blushed even more fiercely, instinctively trying to distance herself from him, but accidentally bumped her head against the cabinet.

Making a "thud" sound.

Laura Quincy thought to herself, "Oh no!"

Now they’re going to be discovered, right?

Jason Hawthorne grimaced and meowed like a cat.

The two people outside, caught up in passion, seemed startled by the sudden noise, thinking there was someone inside. But upon hearing it was just a cat, they relaxed instantly.

Jasper Hawthorne was still somewhat uneasy, "Why do I feel like there’s someone inside?"

Serena Jennings reassured him, "It’s just a pet cat that ran in here, where would anyone be? Besides, there’s no place to hide anyone in there!"

Jasper Hawthorne glanced around inside and saw it was true, the only place to contain things was the wardrobe in the corner, but it’s not big enough to hide anyone.

Besides, who would just hide in there for no reason?

He relaxed, "Baby, you’re right."

With that, the two began kissing passionately again...

Inside the wardrobe, Laura Quincy almost threw up last night’s leftovers upon hearing the word "baby"; it was too disgustingly nauseating!

Laura Quincy’s eyes darted around wildly, trying to divert her attention. This was too embarrassing!

And all this awkwardness was caused by the couple outside!

"Jasper, do you love me?"

"Baby, of course, I love you."

"What about your previous girlfriend?"

Suddenly hearing them mention her own name, Laura Quincy couldn’t help but perk up her ears.

Jasper Hawthorne paused for a moment, then laughed, "She’s in the past. Let’s not talk about her anymore, okay, sweetheart?"

Then, there was silence.

Clearly, the woman’s lips had been sealed.

Inside the wardrobe, Laura Quincy clenched her fists in frustration. Ha! She’s in the past now, is she?

What surprised her even more was that the woman actually knew about her?

As every minute and second slipped by, the two outside continued, showing no signs of stopping. Both Laura and Jason Hawthorne felt exceedingly tormented inside.

In the confined, narrow space, even the slightest movement was hard, holding the same position for too long was truly a test of someone’s willpower.

Jason Hawthorne knew that having been out for so long, someone would definitely come looking for him, so he put his phone on silent mode and mouthed, "Sit on my lap."

Of course, Laura Quincy was unwilling, shaking her head vigorously.

Jason narrowed his dark eyes and continued mouthing, "I can’t maintain this position any longer. Do you want us to be exposed to them right now?"

You should know, the situation outside was heated.

Just hearing the sounds was enough to make one’s face flush with embarrassment...

"Jasper, you’re amazing!"

"Baby, relax a bit!"

"Mmm..."

The couple’s gentle yet seductive voices entered Laura and Jason Hawthorne’s ears like loudspeakers in the quiet environment.

Laura Quincy had no choice but to follow Jason’s request and sit on his lap. Only then could his long legs stretch out, and she could also change her position...

But doing so made them even closer.

Especially with the live show happening outside, every second seemed to be testing their limits!

At this moment, in the banquet hall.

Mason Cross searched everywhere but couldn’t find the BOSS, wondering where he went, and noticed that Miss Quincy was also missing.

Besides, the BOSS wasn’t answering his phone, only sending a text back: "Not convenient now, wait a while!"

Reading this message, Mason couldn’t help but get the wrong idea, guessing that the BOSS was busy with Miss Quincy!

But choosing this moment... it was too... ahem!

Suspecting that the BOSS was attending to something important, Mason could only help cover for him, trying to keep others from becoming suspicious.

However, the thing you fear most often comes true.

Stella Jennings, having searched everywhere without finding Jason Hawthorne, stopped Mason, "Where’s Jason? Haven’t seen him for a while!"

Mason inwardly thought, not good!

But outwardly maintained his composure, "Miss Jennings, you know how important tonight is for the BOSS, he’s either taking an important call or chatting with a significant business partner. If he’s not in the banquet hall, there can be only one possible reason."

Stella curiously asked, "What reason?"

Mason earnestly replied, "It means this discussion is very important, and the BOSS doesn’t want to be seen by others and cause misunderstandings. You know many from the Hawthorne Family aren’t well-intentioned tonight, so..."

He deliberately said it vaguely, which succeeded in intimidating Stella.

"I know Jason is very busy, I’ll always support him, and as for my third sister, she’ll soon realize she’s chosen the wrong side."

"Are you referring to Jasper’s date tonight?"

"Who else could it be? Strutting in front of me!"

Speaking of this, Stella Jennings was filled with anger. Since childhood, Serena Jennings always competed with her. Finally, when Serena went abroad to study, Stella hoped the two sisters could reconcile.

Yet upon returning, Serena stood on the opposing side and flaunted it right in front of her!

Did she really think Jasper could surpass Jason?

He’s not even a threat!

Yet Serena treated him like a treasure!

How come she hasn’t seen them for a long time?

Could they have run off to plot in secret again?

Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still, picking up her skirt to search for Serena.

Unexpectedly, after searching a few rounds, she didn’t see her, so she grabbed a young lady she got along with, "Have you seen Serena?"

The young lady answered without hesitation, "She’s been with the eldest young master of the Hawthorne Family, I just saw them leave."

Stella was somewhat surprised, "Left?"

The young lady nodded, "Yeah, haven’t seen them come back in, I don’t know what they’re up to."

Stella felt a bit suspicious, thinking that since nothing was pressing at the moment, she might as well go look for them, maybe she’ll stumble upon some hidden secret!

Thinking this, she felt an overwhelming excitement...

Inside the dressing room.

Jasper Hawthorne and Serena Jennings were already at the point of no return. In such a place, it seemed particularly thrilling, making both quite excited.
