Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 423: You Truly Are My Benefactor

It’s a bit strange to think Jasper Ford was forced to make a choice between two women.

However, many agree that Jasper Ford is using this as an excuse to clearly separate himself from Serena Sterling.

After all, it’s clear to everyone now that Jasper Ford got more and more through collaborating with Serena Sterling, from "Heavenly Sound" to this Aether project.

But this also deeply entangled the two, with Serena Sterling taking the lead.

Just like this time with the commotion caused by Gigi Sutton, if this issue isn’t resolved, it would be difficult for Jasper Ford to find a partner in the future.

Moreover, it’s not just about finding a partner.

Jasper Ford wants to be in charge of the Ford Family, but if he remains overshadowed by Serena Sterling, would the Ford Family allow Jasper Ford to rise?

Using the excuse of a girlfriend’s uproar and pulling back in time is the most appropriate move right now.

"Who would’ve thought Jasper Ford’s hot temper actually has some brains this time."

This reflects everyone’s view of Jasper Ford’s behavior this time. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

At this moment, someone released a secretly recorded video clip.

It’s a snippet from when Jasper Ford and Gigi Sutton quarreled in a restaurant earlier.

"Gigi, you’re my girlfriend," Jasper Ford said. "Serena she’s just my money-making machine."

"Think of her as a robot, would you fall in love with a cash counting machine or an ATM?"

This clip was released, and it made everyone click their tongues in wonder.

"So Serena was just used and then discarded?"

If previously it was about finding an excuse to peacefully draw a line, the release of this clip made things awkward.

And this was before this argument occurred.

Immediately, paparazzi and reporters with vested interests went to find Serena Sterling, and blocked her downstairs at Aeon, showing Serena this video and asking:

"Serena, everyone is saying Jasper Ford played you, what’s your take on this?"

Serena’s expression was quite unpleasant, she raised her hand to block the camera, but her muffled voice still came through.

All that was heard was her saying: "You should ask him, not me."

She paused briefly, with a touch of unease in her voice, she continued: "I also want to hear what he has to say!"

Then the camera showed Secretary Raine’s face again.

"You’re not allowed to block here without permission, please leave!" Raine looked very serious, and you could see traces of anger in her eyes.

Suddenly recalling something, she glared at these people again, then hurried away with Serena.

The camera only captured the back of Serena leaving swiftly.

The meaning of this was very clear.

It’s that Jasper Ford hadn’t mentioned this to her at all, and recently the situation between the two was as rumored online, completely lacking communication.

Otherwise, she would not have said that.

After catching wind of this drama, these people rushed to block Jasper Ford.

And showed this clip to Jasper Ford.

Jasper Ford’s emotions were rather exposed this time.

He was visibly dark-faced, a bit embarrassed yet angry.

"What else can I do? I was just coaxing my girlfriend, she’s the one making a fuss!"

Speaking, still discontent: "I’m not a sucker! If she really considers me a friend, she should understand these aren’t pleasant rumors and would’ve cleared it up for me long ago."

After speaking he also left, still looking very irritated.

Once these went online, they sparked a public discussion.

After all, the falling out between Serena and Jasper Ford was big news.

Everyone still remembers the time when Serena participated in "Heavenly Sound".

Not to mention that Jasper Ford is a boss of an entertainment company, frequently tied to rumors with female celebrities.

#SerenaJasperFallout#

The heat soared immediately.

The onlookers unanimously believed that as long as the two weren’t together, a fallout was inevitable.

After all, no one wants to be a sucker.

Neither does a girl wish for her boyfriend to be someone else’s sucker.

Isla Lawson laughed so hard she turned over on the sofa when she saw all this.

"Looks like you guys aren’t so solid," Isla muttered to herself, then messaged Gigi Sutton.

Soon, Gigi Sutton responded.

Gigi Sutton replied—"Isla, thanks to you, I followed your advice and forced Jasper Ford to choose, and he chose me. You’re truly my benefactor."

Isla thought for a moment, her fingers tapping quickly on the screen.

She sent out a message.

...

After the fallout between Serena and Jasper Ford, Desmond Wyatt mocked Serena for quite a while.

"Serena wanting to juggle men for benefits, does she even think that after being with Silas Hawthorne, other men would still revolve around her!"

Desmond laughed heartily, saying: "That Jasper Ford isn’t a fool, nicely done!"

"Let Serena suffer until she can only cling to Hawthorne Group, let’s see if she dares to act high and mighty then!"

The people nearby also nodded along.

But it wasn’t long before they couldn’t laugh anymore.

The latest gossip broke out——#JasperFordGigiSuttonIslaLawsonHaveLunchTogether#

The Ford Group and The Lawson Corporation?

"What does this mean?" Desmond was a bit confused.

The person who brought the news wiped sweat off hurriedly.

That person hastily said: "They’re saying Gigi Sutton and Isla Lawson are on good terms, and Jasper Ford was just there to accompany Gigi Sutton."

"Get to the point!" Desmond snapped.

The informant immediately said: "But according to intel from our people, Jasper Ford and Serena have completely broken it off, but he doesn’t want to give up the benefits he gained through Serena, so he’s using Gigi Sutton’s relationship to connect with Isla Lawson."

"So what does this mean?" Desmond felt a foreboding.

The spy replied: "According to the gathered intel, Isla Lawson wants a portion of Jasper Ford’s shares in Aether as a gesture of sincerity."

"Did Jasper Ford agree?" The guy with the stubble immediately asked.

Desmond was also extremely nervous.

If Jasper Ford agreed, then on this Aether vehicle, only Hawthorne Group would be absent.

The two families would certainly grow bigger and stronger while taking advantage of Hawthorne Group’s absence.

Leaving them far behind.

They should’ve been on this vehicle with significant seats.

It was Desmond Wyatt who led the pressure on Silas Hawthorne that led to all this.

This was no longer merely an issue of dividends and bonuses.

By then, Desmond Wyatt would be the group’s scapegoat!

"We don’t know yet, our people are still investigating, they’re still having lunch."

Over on the other side.

When Isla Lawson exited the restaurant, she walked with a spring in her step.

Although Jasper Ford said he’d reply in their next meeting, Isla felt confident about securing part of the Aether shares.

Jasper Ford and she weren’t asking for much of Aether’s shares, but being on board means having access next time.

As long as she can enter Aether, and now that Jasper Ford and Serena have fallen out, kicking Serena out is only a matter of time.

Once Serena is kicked out, everything Serena has done these days will turn to nothing!

Thinking of this, a smile spread across Isla’s face.

She walked towards the parking lot, got into her car, and suddenly saw a familiar vehicle.
