The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 190: Conquest

Angus Langdon noticed Skylar Hughes didn’t look too happy and asked her, "What’s wrong? Why aren’t you happy?"

Skylar Hughes gave a bitter smile, lowered her head slightly, and said helplessly, "Paige Sterling refuses to listen to my explanation. She still has a lot of misunderstandings about , and everyone else misunderstands deeply too, like they don’t quite like ."

As she spoke, she glanced in Paige Sterling’s direction.

Those girls were happily chatting with Paige, but they were excluding Skylar Hughes, and wasn’t this thanks to Paige’s handiwork?

Angus also felt that Paige was being excessive, but he didn’t know how to comfort Skylar Hughes.

Sumr Xavier, who was passing by and overheard their conversation, chuckled, "Complaining already? Not being liked is now Paige’s fault? And you’re blaming her because of how ugly you are?"

Angus looked at Sumr Xavier, "Sumr, show so respect with your words."

Sumr Xavier smirked at Angus, "You two seem quite close lately, huh?"

"What’s it to you?"

"Nothing to do with , just hoping you don’t always bring her around Paige. Paige is busy and doesn’t have ti to deal with you guys all the ti."

This made Angus unhappy, "Sumr, what do you an by that?"

He looked at Sumr Xavier, "Your brother also doesn’t like Paige, right? Aren’t you afraid he’ll be upset with you getting so close to her?"

"My brother hates Paige?" Sumr chuckled softly, "Which eye of yours saw my brother hating Paige?"

"Everyone knows this; it proves that Paige is really annoying."

Sumr found it amusing, "Angus, do you think my brother is like you? His judgnt is way better than yours."

Then she walked away.

Austin Xavier liked Paige Sterling. Besides Paige and soone as straightforward as Angus, probably everyone else knew it.

But her brother never ntioned it before, and now, he doesn’t even have the chance to.

Sumr Xavier didn’t feel any sympathy for Austin Xavier at all, thinking he got what he deserved.

Angus, annoyed by Sumr Xavier, turned back to Skylar Hughes, "That’s just how Sumr is, not very likable. Don’t take it to heart."

Skylar Hughes looked disappointed, her eyes slightly red.

"I just don’t understand why everyone dislikes so much, why Paige Sterling never listens to my explanations. We’ve been sisters for so many years, and she’d rather believe those baseless rumors than trust ..."

Angus awkwardly consoled her, "She’s always been like that, since we were kids. Just ignore her."

Angus also felt that Paige was often quite inconsiderate, which was indeed excessive.

So when Paige returned from the restroom, he stopped her.

"Paige, let’s talk."

Paige raised her gaze to glance at him.

"I rember you just lost to , and now you’re still coming to . What do you an by that? Looking for trouble?"

Angus took a small step back, creating so distance between them, "Paige, I just want to talk, nothing else. Please don’t get aggressive."

Paige chuckled softly, "Alright then, what do you want to talk about?"

Angus said, "In the future, could you not always target Skylar Hughes? She hasn’t done anything wrong."

"You’re making think that beating you up might be the best solution."

Before Angus could react, Paige really threw a punch at him.

Angus covered his punched nose, pointing at Paige, "Why would you hit soone!?"

"Why not? I warned you not to get in my face, and you didn’t listen. Did you have to wait for to hit you to realize how serious I was?"

With nobody around, Paige stepped forward and started beating up Angus.

Julian Hawthorne, seeing that Paige hadn’t returned, ca looking for her and saw her beating up Angus.

He stood by, waiting for Paige to finish, then walked over, acting like he knew nothing, "What happened?"

Paige said, "Young Master Langdon wanted to play a ga with . I couldn’t just refuse, so I played with him. Young Master Langdon seed to enjoy it quite a bit."

Angus looked at Paige in shock, stunned by her blatant reversal of truth.

Julian glanced at Angus, "Oh, that’s what happened. If Young Master Langdon still wants to play, look for soone else."

Angus retorted, "What ga, Paige just—"

Paige slapped Angus on the shoulder, feeling the weight of a ton, and then heard her threateningly say, "Young Master Langdon, how about we keep playing?"

Angus stiffened, his face turning pale.

He then glared at Paige, gritting his teeth, "No more gas. Miss Sterling can find soone else to play with."

Paige nodded, linking her arm with Julian’s, "Then we’ll be leaving. But if Young Master Langdon wants to play such gas again, I’d be happy to oblige."

What kind of ga was this!

It’s like a bottomless pit of gas!

A group of girls saw Paige returning and gathered around her, one of them asked Paige.

"God Sterling, can you reveal what kind of n you like?"

Paige didn’t answer, and the girl said, "Is it inconvenient to say? Never mind then..."

Paige shook her head, raising her hand to point in Julian Hawthorne’s direction.

But at that mont, a man walked in line with Julian, blocking him from view. So everyone saw that the man Paige was pointing at was... Angus Langdon?

The girls looked shocked.

Paige felt sothing was off and looked over, still seeing Julian.

Liking soone like Julian, what was so surprising about that?

Angus, unaware of what had just happened, although Paige hadn’t hit his face, now felt his whole body was in pain.

At this mont, Skylar Hughes ca up to him, seemingly having sothing to say.

Angus asked, "Do you have sothing to say to ?"

"There’s sothing I think you should know."

Angus, "...?"

Skylar Hughes said, "Earlier, everyone was asking what kind of man Paige likes, and she..."

Skylar Hughes paused, "She pointed at you."

Angus, "...!?"

Wasn’t Paige supposed to like Julian? Why point at him?

So Paige actually liked him?

Even though Paige’s attitude towards him was bad, often hitting him at the slightest disagreent.

Every ti he saw Paige, she was indifferent and aloof towards him.

There was no sign that Paige liked him at all.

They say during puberty, boys show affection by bullying girls. Was Paige’s previous beating and hitting all to get his attention?

Being seen with Julian was to provoke him?

Angus looked terrified, yet sohow there was an indescribable excitent mixed in, his expression was very complex.

"Why would she like ?"

"Maybe she just likes your type."

Paige Sterling, such a woman, was hard for an average man to handle. But precisely because of this challenge, there would always be soone who can’t help but want to take it on, to conquer it.
