CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63: SERVES YOU RIGHT!

Laura: "..."

Why does Mary’s words sound like I’m in a relationship with The Demon King...

Haha!

Even if every man in the world gets married, she wouldn’t be in a relationship with The Demon King!

Firstly, her future husband cannot have been married before; secondly, she only wants to marry a man who loves her and is ordinary; lastly, she doesn’t like sharing a man with other women.

No matter what reason that man has for keeping good relations with other women, that’s not her type!

So, she won’t consider The Demon King!

What’s more, her identity is worlds apart from his!

Just thinking about her ex-boyfriend’s betrayal makes her wary of the word "elite family"!

She’s just an ordinary commoner, unable to reach so high!

"Mary, you’ve misunderstood. In life, I’m just Little Mars’ tutor; at work, Fourth Young Master Hawthorne is my direct superior, that’s all."

Laura explained calmly, not wanting any ambiguous relationship with The Demon King.

Mary smiled at her explanation and didn’t say anything else. It’s clear that Laura currently doesn’t like Jason, and there seems to be some misunderstanding between them...

After the injection, it was already near dawn.

Laura was unwilling to rest in the hospital and insisted on taking a cab home. Jason held onto her, "It’s raining outside, do you still want to catch a cold?"

After the fever broke, Laura’s body slightly improved, "I know my own body well, no need for your false kindness! At my worst, I stayed awake for 24 hours at the police station and was scorned by the surrounding neighbors. So many people slandered and attacked me, all companies rejected me, I instantly became a public enemy. That was the real mental devastation! What’s a fever? Staying home, drinking water, and sleeping would solve it, there’s no need for you to be overly concerned and bring me to the hospital!"

Jason’s face turned dark, what a damned woman! His good intentions have gone unrewarded!

How can she hold a grudge until now!

After Laura finished speaking, she broke free from his hand and prepared to leave. She knows this man is exceptional among people and surely has strong pride, there’s no way he’s still holding onto old matters without letting go.

For matters that are impossible and won’t last, it’s better to end them early!

It’s better for herself and others!

Luckily, there were plenty of taxis at the hospital entrance, and Laura quickly hailed one to leave.

Jason coldly stared at the departing car, his fists unknowingly clenched, unable to refute the little woman’s words just now.

Laura looked at the man standing still in her rear-view mirror, turned her face thinking: Did I hurt his lofty pride?

Serves him right!

I’m naturally grudging as a little woman!

Who made him make me suffer so much in the first place!

Does he think he can earn forgiveness after showering me with small favors now?

Keep dreaming!

Hopefully after tonight I’ll get fired, and from then on "he’s on his own path, I’m on my own bridge", never crossing again!

For two consecutive days, Laura stayed cooped at home without going out. She thought she’d receive an email about being fired, after all she defied her superior, surely there’d be consequences.

But surprisingly, her inbox was empty.

No one from the company called urging her to work...

All of a sudden, she remembered she hadn’t tutored Little Mars in English this weekend, and hurriedly gave him a call. It was quickly answered on the other end.

"Sister, have you gotten better?"

The childlike voice on the other end was full of concern, warming Laura’s heart with a feeling she couldn’t quite describe...

"Sister is much better, Little Mars won’t blame me for not tutoring you in English this week, right?"

Laura said apologetically; she didn’t expect Little Mars’ first words to be about her health, it must have been The Demon King who told him...

Justin Hawthorne, like a little adult, said: "I won’t, Daddy said you’re sick with a fever, and took a leave of absence this week, although Little Mars misses sister, Little Mars hopes sister gets well soon, so next week Little Mars can see a healthy sister!"

His voice was childlike and adorable, simple enough to cause heartache.

Laura was a bit stunned, how can The Demon King’s cold and domineering nature produce such a warm-hearted son?

If it weren’t for their resemblance, she’d really doubt Little Mars wasn’t his biological son...

"Yes, sister will recover soon."

"Heehee! That’s great!"

After hanging up, Laura sat blankly on the sofa. Speaking of which, she really is reluctant about Little Mars. Not only because he’s well-behaved and cute, but also each time she hears him softly call "sister".

Her heart just melts.

No one can refuse it!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh. It’s just a pity he has such a father!

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Laura Quincy hurriedly picked it up, it was her friend Nina Pierce calling.

"Laura, have you made progress with The Demon King?"

Her friend’s inexplicable words left Laura a bit stunned, "What nonsense is this?"

Nina exclaimed, "Haven’t you seen the news? Early this morning, Fourth Young Master Hawthorne posted a statement on Weibo admitting that he had misunderstood you as a kidnapper before, but actually, you saved his son out of kindness."

Laura was somewhat dumbfounded.

Nina continued, "Do you know? The reposts of this Weibo post are astonishing! Even Aethelburg’s local police department’s official Weibo reposted it, apologizing for detaining you for 24 hours and admitting their misjudgment."

Laura still couldn’t quite believe it, that The Demon King with such an arrogant personality would actually admit to his mistake on Weibo?

"Are you sure it’s The Demon King’s Weibo? He doesn’t seem like someone who would have a Weibo."

"Of course I’m sure! Because the account is verified by Sina, it can’t be fake. Besides, who would dare pretend to be Fourth Young Master Hawthorne on Weibo? That’s suicidal!"

Nina confidently analyzed.

Laura also knew her analysis made sense, but it was still quite incredible. She had expected to receive a dismissal notice in the past few days, but instead, the previous "kidnapper" matter was unexpectedly clarified.

She then said hesitantly, "It’s only right that he clears my name."

Nina laughed on the other end of the phone, "Hehe... isn’t it because of the two of you?"

Laura replied irritably, "What are you thinking! How could anything be going on between The Demon King and me! He’s Jasper Hawthorne’s uncle! I don’t want anything more to do with the Hawthorne family!"

Nina pouted, "You’re gonna throw everyone under the bus with one stick? I bet you can’t escape being related to Little Mars."

Laura choked a bit, "How could that be the same? Little Mars is just a five-year-old child, and my relationship with him is only that of teacher and student."

Nina decided not to tease her friend anymore, responding meaningfully, "Oh..."

Anyway, she had a feeling that Laura and The Demon King wouldn’t be able to disentangle from each other so quickly...

After her friend’s call, Laura received several more calls in succession, one of which was from her stepsister, Phoebe Turner.

"Sis, are you familiar with Fourth Young Master Hawthorne? Why did he suddenly post on Weibo admitting he misunderstood you before? Where are you working now? Why won’t you come home?"

As if afraid she’d hang up, Phoebe fired off several questions in a row.

Laura felt a headache coming on. Her name was cleared, but troubles followed. Everyone seemed to think she had something going on with The Demon King and kept calling her to ask...

Damn! Was she a criminal?

Did she really have to undergo one interrogation after another?

"Phoebe Turner, I never kidnapped the Hawthorne family’s young master in the first place. It’s only right for the father to clear my name. Can you have some normal thoughts? Also, my last name is Quincy, not Turner! That’s a line you and your mom once told me, with its meaning very clear. Are you coming to tell me all this now to slap yourself in the face?"

"Sis, can you not bring up the past? So much time has passed, are you still holding a grudge? Is it necessary? My mom and I have already realized our mistakes. Wouldn’t it be better for our family to live well together?"

Phoebe acted so magnanimously, speaking with deep emotion.

Laura snorted twice, "Phoebe Turner, tell me, can a dog stop eating shit?"

Phoebe was enraged, "Laura Quincy! Don’t be so ungrateful! Aren’t you and I the same kind? Calling us dogs, it’s your conscience that’s been eaten by a dog!"

Laura laughed, "Only said two sentences and you’re already showing your true colors, haha! You insisted on comparing yourself, what can I do?"

Phoebe was so angry her chest heaved, ever since Laura left, her eloquence had improved significantly, and she never won a verbal exchange with her!

Could it be related to her career in translation?

For several hours, Laura’s phone didn’t stop ringing. She accidentally logged onto Weibo once and found herself mentioned countless times, with hundreds of private messages.

Frightened, she quickly adjusted the settings, disallowing strangers from sending her private messages, otherwise, Weibo would really explode in the coming days.

Moreover, her follower count had increased significantly.

Even more so, the Weibo post from The Demon King had become a hot topic, and she had become the trending female protagonist...

She had inexplicably become famous!

In the evening, she tried sending out a few resumes, only to see them all quickly rejected, with replies mostly saying the same: Miss Quincy, you are currently employed in the third group of the translation department at Aegis Group. Submitting resumes without resigning is inconsistent with industry rules.

Laura thought dejectedly: Unbelievable! Is it public knowledge that she works at Aegis Group now?

Early the next morning.

Half asleep, Laura suddenly heard the phone ringing. Without thinking, she answered, "Hello?"

"Laura Quincy, you’ve taken several days off in a row. The report from your last business trip to Port Sovereign hasn’t been submitted yet. Also, the CASE you’ve been following with the airline will have technical staff coming this afternoon. You’ll need to liaise with them..."
