A Heaven-sent Sweet Child Falls Asking for Hugs-Chapter 161: It’s Right to Tear Your Face Off

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: It’s Right to Tear Your Face Off

Jasper Ford’s sharp gaze fell on Fiona Hughes. His icy lips carried a deathly chill. "Are you looking to die?"

Those five words sent a shiver down her spine.

Fiona Hughes shook her head frantically. "I only laid a hand on Vivian Quincy because I couldn’t stand to watch it anymore. She knows perfectly well that you have a fiancée, yet she insists on being so close to you. I was impulsive, but only because I’m a mother trying to protect her daughter."

She began to cry as she spoke. "Wanda has been with you for so many years. She deserves recognition for her devotion, if not her deeds. My greatest wish in life is to see the two of you get married. What have I done wrong?"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she sounded. She pointed at Vivian Quincy and said, "Vivian Quincy, you tell me. After everything we’ve done, can you live with yourself for doing this to us?"

Fiona Hughes’s accusation was a mix of threats and emotional blackmail. She believed that if she hadn’t taken Vivian Quincy in, Vivian wouldn’t be alive today. In her mind, she had given Vivian her life, so Vivian should obey her every word, not defy her at every turn, clash with her daughter, and certainly not make a move on her daughter’s fiancé!

’Vivian Quincy is committing an outrageous act, so what if I hit her? Even if I’d ripped her face off, she would have deserved it!’

However, as she said this, Jasper Ford showed no sign of taking her side. He said heartlessly, "What you’re saying... it sounds a lot like you’re accusing me of being at fault."

"I’m not! I’m talking about Vivian Quincy, not you, sir," Fiona Hughes said, shaking her head and frantically trying to distance herself from the implication.

Vivian Quincy sneered. "I’m just Jasper Ford’s assistant. Being by his side is part of my job. After all that, are you actually just trying to find an indirect way to criticize Jasper Ford?"

And just like that, all the animosity was directed at Jasper Ford.

How could Fiona Hughes possibly dare to do that?

She shook her head violently. "No, that’s not it. Vivian Quincy, don’t you twist my words! I was clearly talking about you, so how did Jasper Ford get dragged into this? You’ve done something shameful, and now you won’t even let anyone talk about it? You really are an ill-mannered bastard with no parents to teach you better!"

Justin Landon raised an eyebrow, his expression darkening. ’Damn, this old woman’s insults are vicious!’

’Calling a grown woman a bastard in front of all these people!’

Justin Landon suddenly felt a bit sorry for the young assistant. ’On second thought, this is all my fault because of that photo,’ he mused. He started to walk over, intending to smooth things over and put the matter to rest, but to his surprise, Vivian Quincy suddenly slapped Fiona Hughes across the face!

It was a forceful blow, instantly leaving a large, red handprint on Fiona Hughes’s cheek.

Justin Landon’s face was a picture of astonishment.

It was also the first time Jasper Ford had seen such a fierce side to Vivian Quincy. A strange glint flashed in his dark eyes as he sized her up.

Vivian Quincy said with cold composure, "I don’t know what you two shrews wanted from me today, but don’t think I’m a pushover. I dare you to say that again."

"Vivian Quincy, don’t get too arrogant!" Wanda Quincy rushed forward to protect her mother, pointing a finger at Vivian’s nose and roaring, "If my mother hadn’t saved you back then, you’d be long dead! How dare you act so high and mighty here?"

"Wanda, stop talking nonsense," Fiona Hughes said, terrified that Wanda Quincy was about to reveal what had happened six years ago.

But Wanda Quincy was like a woman possessed, beyond reasoning. "Mom, don’t hold me back! It’s the truth! You clearly helped her, but this ungrateful wretch turned around and hit you! It’s an outrage! She deserves to be struck by lightning!"

"Heh." Vivian Quincy laughed as if she’d just heard the world’s funniest joke. "I cut all ties with you six years ago. Don’t be so sanctimonious. Who owes you anything?"

"It’s not your place to decide if ties are cut!" Wanda Quincy retorted sharply.

For some reason, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped. Fiona Hughes sensed the icy aura radiating from Jasper Ford and quickly grabbed Wanda Quincy’s hand.

"Wanda, that’s enough! Stop your nonsense! Look who’s around us. Do you want Jasper Ford and everyone else to watch us make a fool of ourselves?"

That last sentence snapped the out-of-control Wanda Quincy back to her senses.

’Jasper Ford...’

’Jasper Ford!’

Only then did she remember that Jasper Ford was right there!

She whipped her head toward the impossibly handsome man, who stood as aloof as an emperor. At that moment, he was like a silent observer, listening to their conversation. He hadn’t said a word, but his eyes, more brilliant than the stars, were utterly glacial.

Wanda Quincy suddenly realized what Vivian Quincy had just said and snapped her mouth shut. She glared at Vivian and said, "Stop talking! I just came here today to tell you one thing: stay away from Jasper Ford from now on!"

Vivian Quincy let out a soft laugh and took a step to stand behind Jasper Ford.

"You..." Wanda Quincy’s face twisted in fury.

Just then, Jasper Ford, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. "You. Stay away from me."

His voice was heartless, domineering, and carried a chillingly severe aura.

The words on the tip of Wanda Quincy’s tongue died in her throat, choked back by fear.

Jasper Ford took Vivian Quincy’s hand and brushed past the two women.

Justin Landon’s eyes went wide. He stared in disbelief at their joined hands, the corner of his mouth twitching violently.

’They’re already holding hands?’

’Heh.’

’Did Wanda Quincy come here to cause a scene or to play matchmaker?’

’Jasper Ford couldn’t even be bothered to touch Vivian Quincy before, and now look. Wanda Quincy shows up, and he grabs Vivian’s hand and walks off with her. That Wanda is really something else...’

Glancing at Wanda Quincy, who was now furiously sweeping things off the table, Justin Landon silently took out his phone and snapped a picture of her crying. ’Kimberly will be thrilled to see this,’ he thought.

"Justin Landon, don’t push me!" Wanda Quincy shrieked hysterically at him.

Justin Landon chuckled. "Go on, keep smashing. By the way, we haven’t paid the bill yet. Remember to settle it when you’re done. I’ll be leaving now."

"AHHH, I hate you! I hate you so much!" Wanda Quincy roared like a madwoman.

Justin Landon retorted, "If you’ve got the guts, go say that to Jasper Ford."

’Scheming bitch!’

Justin Landon cursed disdainfully under his breath and walked away, pleased with himself.

’Kimberly’s in a bad mood today, I should send this photo to her. It’s a shame I didn’t record Jasper shutting Wanda down earlier. What a missed opportunity! Kimberly would have been so ecstatic she wouldn’t have been able to sleep for three days!’

’So happy!’

Justin Landon gleefully caught up with Jasper Ford and the others, hopping into their car.

Jasper Ford: "Get out."

Justin Landon said, "Come on, Quincy’s a lady. How can you be so harsh with her? Quincy, don’t be scared. Just stay in the car. I’ve got your back."

Jasper Ford: "I was telling *you* to get out."

Justin Landon: "..." He fell silent, at a loss for words.

"Are you deaf?" the man’s deep voice was menacing. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Justin Landon said, "No... It’s just, it’s late and it’ll be hard to get a cab. Plus, I didn’t drive my car over, and my clothes are a mess. I need to find a place to wash up..."

Justin Landon refused to get out and instead drove the car to a nearby hotel.

He had intended to leave the car for Jasper Ford, but the moment it came to a stop, Jasper dragged Vivian Quincy out, headed for the hotel, and booked a single room.

Justin Landon grumbled from behind, "Seriously? What’s the rush at this hour, trying to make a baby? Would it kill you to wait for me for a second?"
