Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 427: As If Making Up His Mind

Meanwhile.

Outside the conference room at Quentin Tower and Isla Lawson’s side, countless media outlets flocked to the scene.

"What’s going on? Why are there so many here?" The person in charge immediately said, "Go find out."

Not long after, the person returned.

"They said it was Isla Lawson who called them." He spoke.

The person in charge glared at the conference room door.

"Isla Lawson is really something. I thought it was exclusive to us, but turns out there are so many..."

But he merely muttered this, daring to be angry but not to express it openly.

Outside Serena Sterling’s conference room, the crowd was similarly dense.

Inside the conference room, Isla Lawson watched the crowd via surveillance and felt very satisfied.

She glanced at Jasper Ford, who was still meticulously reviewing the document, thought for a moment, and signaled to the secretary beside her, who immediately nodded.

"Buzz buzz."

Serena’s phone buzzed while she was looking at the document.

She took it out and glanced at it; it was a message from Isla Lawson.

The message contained a link.

Serena thought about it, clicked to take a look, and discovered it was real-time surveillance of the negotiation between Isla Lawson and Jasper Ford.

Serena slightly furrowed her brow, not understanding Isla Lawson’s intentions.

"Buzz buzz."

Another message.

Isla Lawson: Worried you couldn’t witness Jasper Ford and I signing in real-time, I specifically created a link for you to participate.

Serena was speechless.

She replied with two words—Childish.

"What’s the matter, is there any objection?" Matriarch Quentin asked after sipping her tea.

Serena looked up, shook her head, and then placed her phone aside.

Isla Lawson received Serena’s message, chuckled softly, set down her phone, and looked at Jasper Ford: "Have you finished reviewing it? Jasper Ford, if there’s anything more you want, we can add it on the spot."

"No rush." Jasper Ford scratched his head, saying, "You know I’m not good at this; need to think a bit more."

Isla Lawson didn’t pressure him further; what Jasper Ford said was valid, everyone in Aeston knew Jasper Ford had a fierce temper and a small brain capacity—dumb and hot-tempered.

Just...

Isla Lawson’s mouth slightly twitched.

Jasper Ford had countless flaws, but one unbeatable virtue—a knack for getting lucky.

Which always allowed him to turn misfortune into fortune.

Isla Lawson glanced at the Quentin Tower opposite.

Their original meeting place wasn’t here, Isla Lawson specifically moved it here knowing Serena would come to Quentin’s that day. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Opposite Quentin Tower.

"Serena, just wait, today marks the beginning of your nightmare!" Isla Lawson softly murmured, gripping the armchair tightly.

...

Approximately ten minutes passed, as more people arrived on the scene due to spreading news within the media circle.

Both sides of the conference room were packed, everyone wanting firsthand intelligence.

Some even started live streaming.

"I’m now outside the conference room at Quentin Tower, Serena has been inside for a long time, we estimate it won’t be much longer before it’s over. My colleague is currently at Isla Lawson and Jasper Ford’s side, we’re connecting, stay in my live room. As soon as Serena comes out, we’ll broadcast for everyone immediately! We..."

Reports from Jasper Ford’s side said they were already going through the lawyer’s procedures and only required final confirmation for signing.

Some idlers from the circle wandered nearby Quentin, waiting for firsthand reports.

The number of people lingering on this side created considerable traffic congestion.

Countless people debated eagerly, all awaiting the final outcome.

Almost as if chaos was insufficient.

Just then a team arrived.

These people were heavily cloaked and headed straight towards Quentin’s side.

"Bang bang bang!"

Serena and Matriarch Quentin were confirming some details when the conference room door suddenly thumped loudly.

Matriarch Quentin slightly furrowed her brow.

"They should be here for me." Serena looked up, smiled at Matriarch Quentin.

Matriarch Quentin slightly raised her eyebrows, meeting Serena’s smiling gaze.

Seemingly understanding something, Matriarch Quentin chuckled lightly, then gestured to the secretary to let them in.

...

Inside the conference room opposite Quentin’s.

Jasper Ford finally finished reviewing everything and confirmed each piece individually.

"Alright." Jasper Ford said, smiling.

He seemed to have thought of something pleasant, appearing somewhat excited.

"So, should we sign?" Isla Lawson’s patience was almost exhausted.

Just as Jasper Ford opened his mouth to speak—

"Dong!"

Something unknown happened outside, causing a loud sound.

"I’ve been hearing quite the commotion outside since a while ago; Isla Lawson, you chose this location, what’s going on?" Jasper Ford asked, taking the seal from the lawyer, looking puzzled.

Seeing Jasper Ford pick up the seal, Isla Lawson’s smile grew deeper; this was preparing to seal.

"It’s nothing." Isla Lawson said with a smile, "Just some minor tricks, making us a bit happier."

"Oh?" Jasper Ford looked up at Isla Lawson, looking very interested, "An insider? Then let’s bring them in."

"Not quite insiders." Isla Lawson said, "But we can let them in."

With that, she glanced at the secretary, who understood and immediately went to open the door.

The reporters and paparazzi outside couldn’t wait any longer and rushed in.

With all kinds of equipment, they fiercely captured the two people beside the conference table.

"Mr. Ford, Miss Lawson, are you ready to sign the contract?"

"Are The Lawson Corporation and Ford Group planning to collaborate?"

"Have you both thought about what to say to Serena?"

"Both of you..."

Countless questions flooded in.

But Jasper Ford wasn’t looking at them, instead, he was looking at Isla Lawson.

Isla Lawson sat across from Jasper Ford, her beautiful face bearing a satisfied smile.

Jasper Ford also smiled.

"Miss Lawson, this isn’t right." Jasper Ford playfully toyed with the seal in his hand, speaking humorously, "Shall we let our media friends leave first?"

"No problem with it." Isla Lawson said confidently with a smile, "The results will be announced anyway."

She placed both hands on the conference table, closing the distance between her and Jasper Ford.

Isla Lawson’s smile deepened: "Why not announce it in public?"

Those surrounding them agreed with voices in unison.

The number of people in the live stream room skyrocketed, comments refreshing quickly.

"Yes, there will be an announcement, speak quickly!"

"Hurry up, I’ve been taking a paid dump for a long time waiting for this; if I keep squatting in the bathroom, my colleagues will suspect I have hemorrhoids!"

"Move faster!"

...

Isla Lawson also smilingly gazed at Jasper Ford; she wanted Jasper Ford to speak in front of the media.

Still hoping to leave some face for Serena? Dream on!

Only by crushing Serena’s face would Isla feel satisfied.

Remembering previous losses, recalling being forced to sell foreign assets cheaply, Isla Lawson fumed.

She wanted to reclaim everything lost because of Serena!

"Like this?" Jasper Ford smiled, appearing somewhat troubled.

Then, seeming to have made some resolution.

"Since you request it this way." Jasper Ford said, "Alright then."
