Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 193 - 174: Furious From Embarrassment

She still didn’t make a sound. The cabin lapsed into silence, only Justin Hawthorne’s steady breathing could be heard. He was sleeping soundly.

Once they entered the vineyard estate, Justin hopped around excitedly like a little flea, "Sis, did you and Daddy really come here before?"

Lying to children is definitely not good, so Laura Quincy could only answer honestly, "Yes, we’ve been here. The grapes here are delicious, and the wine is also good."

Justin pouted, "It’s a pity there are no grapes now."

He then turned to his daddy, "Daddy, can I try some wine?"

Jason Hawthorne ruffled his son’s hair, "You can, but not too much."

Justin pouted, "Alright then!"

He thought to himself: I must grow up quickly, otherwise, I can’t do this or that, it’s so annoying!

The three of them rested for about an hour before leaving the room to stroll around. Justin was curious about everything, and he held one of Laura’s hands while holding Jason’s hand with the other.

This led to everyone "mistaking" them for a family of three wherever they went.

A gardener who knew Laura smiled and said, "So Miss Quincy’s son is already so big! He’s truly inherited you and your husband’s good traits."

"Miss Quincy, you are so blessed! The young master is really adorable!"

A series of compliments and praises left Laura with no words to explain. She couldn’t help but glance at Twinkle beside her, did they really look so much alike?

So much so that outsiders could see it at a glance?

Justin seemed to smile at everyone, vastly different from his daddy’s cold demeanor. In less than a day, he had already won over everyone in the estate...

He quickly captured a large number of fans.

Upon hearing that they would stay for another three days, Laura couldn’t help but worry: do they have to continue pretending nothing’s going on with Jason every day, while everyone mistakes them for a family of three...

Sophie Sutton, having nothing to do in the afternoon, pestered her second brother to take her to a golf club. She initially intended to spend more time with Asher, but unexpectedly ran into someone she didn’t want to see.

During Eric Thorne’s halftime break, he had just exited the tea room when he saw Sophie in her sports attire. He couldn’t help but tease, "On a big holiday, you can’t be here just to catch my schedule on purpose, right?"

Sophie widened her eyes in shock and exclaimed, "Stop being narcissistic! I’d rather wait for a dog than for you!"

Eric gave her a flirty up-and-down look, "Then what are you doing here?"

Sophie responded bluntly, "Does it have anything to do with you? If you can be here, why can’t I?"

Eric looked deeply at her. He had already found out Sophie’s identity, the sixth miss of the Sutton Family, such a noble identity would actually come to Thorne Group as a small employee?

"This place is originally for men."

"Who says so? Women can come just the same! You’re discriminating against women!"

Sophie said, annoyed. From the first time she met Eric, she took an instant dislike to him. Coupled with the time he threatened her to accompany him to a talent show, she loathed him even more!

Eric turned around, took off his sunglasses, and slowly approached her until she was cornered against the wall with no way to retreat.

"Miss Sutton’s sixth daughter, who exactly are you here for?"

Sophie looked at him in disbelief. How did he know her true identity?

Could it be he had someone investigate her?

"How... How did you know?"

"To figure out your identity, isn’t it a piece of cake for me?"

Eric wickedly blew air onto her face.

Angry, Sophie tried to hit him with both her hands and feet, but he held her firmly in place.

"Bastard! What’s there to be so smug about! Since you know my identity, let go of me!"

"...What if I don’t let go?"

Eric glared at her fiercely. Third brother and Sutton Family’ second son had been friends for years; they had arranged an afternoon golf match here...

Sophie was willing to humble herself and work as a minor employee at Thorne Group. For someone of her status, to accept his threat, could it be...

Thinking about this left him inexplicably annoyed.

Sophie cursed, "Bastard! Let go of me! Otherwise, I’ll tell my second brother and Asher; they definitely won’t let you off!"

Eric repeated, "Asher?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Sophie snorted, "What? Are you scared?"

Eric raised the corner of his lips in a smile, "A joke? What do I have to be scared of? To be honest, Asher’s relationship with me is much closer than with you!"

Sophie stared at him in disbelief, "Impossible!"

Eric’s face darkened, "Why is that impossible? Asher is my third brother, we are direct cousins."

Sophie’s first reaction was disbelief. How could he be Asher’s cousin?

This must not be true! He must be making it up!

Eric looked at her with a grim expression, "Believe it or not, it’s the truth."

His words made Sophie’s face turn pale, as many memories flashed through her mind: the first time she met him was in the underground parking lot of Thorne Group; then he was the CEO of Prospera Media Inc., she had heard others call him Mr. Thorne...

He could even call her boss and have her transferred to work for him on demand...

All evidence pointed to...

"Are you really Asher’s cousin?"

"Genuine and real."

"How could Asher have a brother like you!

"..."

Eric was almost infuriated by her words. In what way was he inferior to third brother?

Sophie took a deep breath, "Even if you’re Asher’s cousin, if you bully me, they won’t let you off either!"

Eric scoffed sarcastically, "You have a crush on my third brother?"

Blushing at having her thoughts guessed, Sophie looked at him, "None of your business!"

That statement basically amounted to an inadvertent confession.

Eric’s heart sank...

"What’s the matter? Mad because I guessed your thoughts?"

Sophie couldn’t help but curse, "Get lost! If you don’t move, I’ll really call someone!"

Eric squinted his eyes at her but eventually let go. To have a conflict with her now was clearly not a wise decision.

She actually liked third brother?

However, third brother’s type was likely not her kind, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but curl a playful smile, "Could it be you’re unilaterally crushing on my third brother?"

Once more having her thoughts guessed, Sophie’s ears blushed until they were crimson, and she swung her fist at him, "Bastard! Who I like or have a crush on is none of your business! What right do you have to mock me?"

Eric, accidentally grazed by Sophie’s wild fist, didn’t look pleased, and he gritted his teeth, "Sophie Sutton!"

Sophie glared at him, displeased, "Why are you calling this grandma’s name?"
