Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 169 - 155: Frank Admission

Jason Hawthorne had just arrived at the office when he encountered a visitor, someone he really didn’t want to see.

He said with an unfriendly tone, "For work-related matters, just go directly to Mason Cross in the future. I’m very busy."

Although Stella Jennings had mentally prepared herself, she still felt very hurt. She took a deep breath, "Jason, I came today to resign."

Her words surprised Jason Hawthorne a bit. He looked up at her, seemingly waiting for her next words.

Stella Jennings was quite satisfied to see the puzzled expression on his face, "I’ve thought it through, being a career woman isn’t my dream. A lot has happened recently, and I want to go out and clear my mind, to truly understand what I want."

Jason Hawthorne responded in a deep voice, "Okay."

Stella Jennings bit her lip, "Jason, don’t you have anything else to say to me? I’m doing this entirely because..."

Jason Hawthorne raised his brows slightly, "If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask me, but what appeared in the news yesterday cannot happen again! Your status shouldn’t be associated with those people."

His words were firm, with an underlying implication.

Clever as she was, Stella Jennings understood immediately but felt unwilling, "Jason, do you really like that woman?"

Jason Hawthorne didn’t want to continue to conceal it; it was something that would eventually be made public.

"Yes, I don’t want you to make any senseless trouble for her anymore. What happened before can be completely erased, but if I find out again, don’t blame me for being unkind!"

His tone was sharp, as if issuing a final ultimatum.

Stella Jennings felt as if a wall had been added to her heart, making her uncomfortable. The man in front of her was warning her for the sake of another woman?

And even admitted to her openly that he liked her?

What’s so good about Laura Quincy, anyway?

On the surface, she seemed so pure and harmless, but in reality, she was a captivating seductress!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could tear off Laura Quincy’s hypocritical mask...

She choked up, "What is it about her that’s better than me? Why can’t you just look at me a little more?"

Jason Hawthorne’s eyes turned cold, "In the world of emotions, there is no reason. Liking someone is just that, liking them, and not liking is just not liking. Between you and me, there was never any romantic interest."

Stella Jennings choked back tears, "Jason, have you never liked me? Not even a little bit?"

Jason Hawthorne’s answer was very certain, "No."

Stella Jennings: "..."

At that moment, it was as if she had been fiercely slapped, even her steps were somewhat unsteady. How terrifying it was when a man was unfeeling!

No regard for your feelings at all, and what he says stings more than a slap across the face...

Falling in love with such a man, was it her fortune or misfortune?

After leaving Jason Hawthorne’s office, Stella Jennings’ steps were somewhat faltering. She almost fell when entering the elevator, but luckily, Jasper Hawthorne came out just in time to quickly support her, "Second sister, are you not feeling well?"

Stella Jennings immediately withdrew her hand, her tone indifferent, "I’m fine."

Then, she was about to get in the elevator and leave.

She didn’t get along with her third sister and didn’t want too much interaction with this brother-in-law, even if they met in the company, she would at most greet him symbolically, never interacting too much.

Jasper Hawthorne paid a bit more attention, "Second sister, I think you don’t look well, let me take you downstairs!"

Saying this, he was about to help Stella Jennings.

But she shook him off harshly, and then felt her behavior was a bit too much, "I’m really fine, you go do your work, no need to worry about me."

Jasper Hawthorne still didn’t give up, "Second sister, no matter what, we are relatives now, maybe even more closely connected relatives, I’m just being considerate..."

His subsequent words seriously provoked Stella Jennings, who said unhappily, "Then I still have to thank my brother-in-law for his kindness! But if you keep hanging around me in the company, and it gets to Serena Jennings’ ears, I’m afraid you’ll be kneeling on a washboard when you get home!"

Jasper Hawthorne’s extended hand stiffened, not knowing when his reputation for being afraid of his wife had become so widespread...

Although people didn’t dare discuss these things in front of him, occasionally he could still hear some gossip.

"Have you heard? Young Master Hawthorne is very afraid of his wife! Every time the two of them appear together, he looks so timid..."

"I heard long ago that the third Miss of the Jennings Family is very strong-willed, and has a lot of vision, she calls the shots at home..."

"No way! If that’s true, doesn’t that make Young Master Hawthorne spineless?"

The last three words were spoken very softly, but Jasper Hawthorne still heard them, and his heart felt immediately aggrieved, as if he’d been stung by a wasp...

Since when had he become the laughingstock his subordinates talked about after meals?

After that, even more so, he didn’t want to go home at all to face Serena Jennings. After she got pregnant, she became even more domineering, wanting everything according to her wishes...

Even in that aspect, she wanted to call the shots, occupying the dominant position...

Each time, left him disinterested.

Afterward, she would even complain he had no sense of romance, saying he didn’t know how to create a romantic atmosphere...

Over time, he occasionally thought of Laura Quincy, who as a girlfriend, was indeed very considerate, and always put herself in his shoes, making him feel a strong sense of masculine pride.

With her, he was his most relaxed, most authentic self...

Unfortunately...

It wasn’t until the elevator door "dinged" that Jasper Hawthorne came out of his memories, decisively pressing the elevator’s down button.

He saw the news yesterday morning as well, Laura Quincy must have been badly hurt, but could the news content be true?

Six years ago, wasn’t Laura Quincy an exchange student at the University of Aethelgard in Fiorina? How could she have been sold there?

There seemed to be too many inconsistencies in all this.
