Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 414: She Was Arrogant, Proud, and Then Flew Into a Rage

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: She Was Arrogant, Proud, and Then Flew Into a Rage
Accompanied by such words!
Jasper Ford now finally understood why Gigi Sutton was angry with him the last time.
If someone talked about Gigi Sutton like that to him, he would have exploded as well.
"Gigi, I swear, there’s really nothing between Serena Sterling and me, nothing at all. The one in my heart is you." Jasper Ford immediately said, "If I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning!"
Gigi Sutton burst into laughter.
She said, "Don’t make such vows carelessly. What if there’s really lightning, how would you explain?"
But Jasper Ford was still very firm.
Open and honest.
Gigi Sutton felt reassured and said, "If I really cared, I wouldn’t have shown it to you."
"Jasper, I was impulsive last time." Gigi Sutton continued, "Our living conditions are the same. I understand we have to seize everything to survive well, because I’m the same. Serena is a big shot, we must hold on."
Jasper Ford’s reputation in Aeston wasn’t good.
Bad temper, worked in the entertainment industry, often rumored with different actresses, everyone said he was a playboy.
There were also two jealous brothers above him.
But Gigi Sutton still chose to meet him and get to know each other.
This was because, she actually had no choice.
The Sutton Family was also in conflict, a fierce battle among several families, and daughters like her in such families were often used by parents and brothers as pawns for marriage alliances.
She seemed like a rich young lady, but actually had no say, and held no resources as they were all given to the brothers.
Only by ruthlessly severing ties with the family or getting married and moving to another battleground could she gain greater freedom.
But she didn’t have the courage to start from scratch, so she chose Jasper Ford. Fortunately, the two of them got along well.
This, she greatly admired Serena Sterling for.
Moreover... Serena was really good.
This Gigi Sutton didn’t say out loud.
"Jasper, I was thinking, if we are to last long term, this issue must be resolved." Gigi Sutton said.
Jasper Ford nodded.
"It was Isla Lawson who did it." Gigi Sutton directly said, "Last time she came to me, told me a lot about you and Serena, which caused the misunderstanding last time."
Jasper Ford felt like rolling his eyes.
"Let me tell you." Jasper Ford gestured, "Isla Lawson just couldn’t get Xander Linton, so she got angry and ashamed."
"Is that so?" Gigi Sutton blinked, "Isla Lawson is the famous Miss Lawson, yet she went after a man...and couldn’t get him?"
Jasper Ford nodded vigorously.
He told the whole mess between Xander Linton, Serena Sterling, and Isla Lawson.
But Jasper Ford didn’t know about the past in Frelia, so he just skipped over it.
"In short, Xander Linton never had any intentions towards Isla Lawson. He took care of her back in Frelia because of the contract Serena signed for The Lawson Corporation." Jasper Ford said, "Even without Serena, Xander Linton’s second choice wouldn’t be Isla Lawson."
"I see." Gigi Sutton now thoroughly understood.
Gigi Sutton suddenly smiled, took a sip of her coffee.
"Why are you smiling?" Jasper Ford asked.
"I’m smiling, because Miss Lawson is not that special after all." Gigi Sutton put down her cup and said, "She’s just had it too easy, always protected by her family, getting whatever she wanted, only to find herself blocked by Xander Linton."
"She mistakes everything she gained standing on her family’s shoulders as her own hard work, so she becomes arrogant and then, angry and ashamed."
"She never looks for problems within herself because Miss Lawson can never be wrong."
"She won’t find fault with Xander Linton either because he’s the man she chose, the man she loves."
"So..."
Gigi Sutton looked up at Jasper Ford and smiled, "It must be Serena Sterling’s fault."
Jasper Ford was astonished by all this.
Could someone actually think like that?
"This line of thinking..." Jasper Ford shook his head, marveling.
Gigi Sutton just smiled, taking another sip of coffee.
"I’ve seen many people like this." Gigi Sutton looked out the window, softly said, "I may not have achieved much in my career, but when it comes to infighting..."
"I know it very well."
Jasper Ford looked at Gigi Sutton’s profile, finding her very charming.
The Ford Family was no different.
Just with prettier words, claiming meritocracy, that the capable would lead the family to greatness, but in reality, it was just a fight for inheritance, literally pulling each other’s hair, just they were men.
Gigi Sutton felt Jasper Ford didn’t move for a long time, she turned her head, then saw Jasper Ford’s admiring gaze.
She was slightly surprised.
Then she also smiled.
"So, let’s take action as well." Gigi Sutton said, "If someone wants to cut off our financial path, let’s see if we’ll allow it!"
Jasper Ford nodded, holding her hand.
The two whispered, and whispered on, for a long time.
Finally, exchanged a smile.
Neither of them had any good intentions.
...
Time slowly passed.
Not long after Aether’s announcement, news came out about Brandon Huxley and Emeric Grant flying abroad.
No one knew what they were going to do this time.
But lately, Aether’s affairs were all the gossip in the circle.
Hawthorne Group and The Lawson Corporation were also frequently mentioned.
This made Desmond Wyatt and Isla Lawson very displeased.
Desmond Wyatt had been teased by others these days, saying he couldn’t even compete with a junior.
But Desmond Wyatt also had his own explanation.
"Just a small project, only small families would care about this scale."
This was what Desmond Wyatt spread around, to appear arrogant, to dismiss the small project.
In short, he was not at fault.
It was Aether and Serena who didn’t appreciate goodwill.
Everyone knew he was just trying to save face, but no one was foolish enough to expose him.
Then about a week later.
Explosive news came from overseas in the industry.
"Our company had failed repeatedly on this problem before, but luckily with the technology provided by Aether, we transitioned smoothly, breaking through our barrier!"
This was the latest video released by TT’s CEO, an industry giant.
He seemed very excited in the video.
"Too long, we’ve been stuck here for too long! We recently heard Aeston had this technology, so we contacted the person in charge and brought technicians over. After some testing, we confirmed that by incorporating Aether Industries’ technology, our product will have a qualitative leap!"
TT’s CEO shook Brandon Huxley’s hand, loudly proclaiming, "I announce, TT will establish a deep collaboration with Aether!"
This news was explosive.
This was an industry giant.
Numerous companies wanted to be TT’s suppliers, to collaborate with them, but never had the chance.
Because TT was very stringent.
But Aether did it!
Moreover, from TT’s CEO’s words, it seemed they couldn’t do without Aether!
This meant that at least in the coming years, companies in the industry couldn’t bypass Aether if they wanted to develop!
In an instant, it was explosive.
Completely explosive.
Those who hadn’t realized the magnitude of the technical hurdle Aether overcame were now all stunned.
