A Heaven-sent Sweet Child Falls Asking for Hugs-Chapter 105: You Just Want to Protect Her
Fiona Hughes shot a vicious glare at Vivian Quincy, who was standing not far away, then turned and left.
The injured bodyguards on the ground also scrambled away.
All around, things gradually grew quiet.
Zachary Thornton glared angrily at Vivian Quincy and said, "Can you not drag Anna into your family’s mess?"
Anna ran up and grabbed Zachary Thornton’s sleeve. "This has nothing to do with Vivian."
"And you," Zachary Thornton turned and scolded Anna, "you charged in even though you couldn’t win. Do you have a death wish?"
Anna hastily lowered her head, not daring to speak.
"Come upstairs with me." Zachary Thornton grabbed Anna’s hand and started heading upstairs.
Anna said, "Beanie, hurry, keep up."
Seeing Anna’s pale face, Vivian Quincy took a deep breath and said, "Anna, I’ll take Beanie home. You’re injured, you should go home and rest well."
"No way. If you two go back, what if Fiona Hughes comes looking for you again?" Anna was worried.
Vivian Quincy said, "She won’t. Our residential complex has a new security gate. They don’t live here, so they can’t get in."
After reassuring Anna, Vivian Quincy took Beanie’s hand and got in the car.
Beanie waved goodbye to Anna from afar, then rolled up the car window and said in a small voice, "Mommy, I’m sorry. I caused trouble for you again."
"It’s okay, sweetie. It’s not your fault." Vivian Quincy comforted him with a smile and drove away from the complex.
’This city is so big, and I suddenly have no idea where to go.’
’Home?’
She glanced at Beanie beside her, and her heart ached. ’I feel so awful. I should give him a proper family, find a father to protect him. I’ve really let him down all these years...’
The car stopped in front of the Imperium Group building.
Vivian Quincy called Caden Chandler, asking him to come downstairs and get the keys.
When Caden Chandler saw Beanie was still there, he asked curiously, "Didn’t Beanie go home with his mommy?"
Vivian Quincy didn’t answer his question. After handing him the keys, she took Beanie’s hand and left.
Caden Chandler found it odd. ’That Vivian Quincy... she’s getting stranger and stranger.’
Jasper Ford had just finished his last email and picked up his jacket, ready to leave for the day.
Caden Chandler was waiting in the car for Jasper Ford as usual. On the drive home, he happened to spot an adult and a child sitting outside a KFC. It was none other than Vivian Quincy and Beanie.
"Sir, why is Beanie with Vivian Quincy?" Caden Chandler couldn’t help but ask.
The man, who had been resting in the car with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. "Where?"
Caden Chandler pulled over and rolled down the window. "Look, Sir, right over there. Didn’t Vivian Quincy already take the child home? Why has she brought him out again?"
Jasper Ford’s gaze darkened. He opened the car door and got out.
"Sir, where are you going!" Caden Chandler quickly followed him out.
Jasper Ford wasn’t walking quickly, but he was so handsome that no matter where he went, he was as dazzling and brilliant as a star.
Vivian Quincy, who was in the middle of handing a spoon to Beanie, spotted Jasper Ford immediately. She said nothing, simply sitting sullenly on the bench. She and Beanie each held an ice cream, eating it with a spoon.
Their movements were surprisingly in sync!
"Why is he here?" Jasper Ford demanded of Vivian Quincy.
Vivian Quincy didn’t speak, her head lowered as she silently ate her ice cream.
Beanie didn’t speak either, copying Vivian Quincy.
The big one and the little one were both ignoring him!
How strange!
Caden Chandler noticed Jasper Ford was getting angry and quickly prompted Vivian Quincy, "The President is talking to you. Why aren’t you answering?"
Vivian Quincy said, "I’m off the clock."
"Beanie, why aren’t you home?" the man demanded sharply.
Beanie said, "I’ll go home with her after I finish eating."
"What’s so good about this junk food? Come on, let’s go to Uncle’s house." Jasper Ford reached out to take Beanie’s hand.
Vivian Quincy’s eyebrow shot up. She grabbed the man’s wrist and said, "You are not taking him."
"Vivian—" A flash of surprise crossed Jasper Ford’s eyes. He stared in shock at the red mark on Vivian Quincy’s face and slowly asked, "What happened to your face?"
"It has nothing to do with the President." Vivian Quincy didn’t want to answer, because she knew this was all related to Jasper Ford.
’For Wanda Quincy and Fiona Hughes to get this desperate, it was half Jasper Ford’s fault.’
’In fact, if she could just leave Imperium Group, life for her and Beanie would be so much better. But Jasper Ford wouldn’t let her!’
Vivian Quincy kept her head down, eating silently. She loved the ice cream from KFC, but at this moment, she felt no joy in eating it.
"Was it Wanda Quincy?" the man asked.
Vivian Quincy’s hand, holding the spoon, paused. She said nothing.
Jasper Ford said, displeased, "Caden, look into it."
"Don’t bother investigating. Even if it was her, you wouldn’t do anything about it." Vivian Quincy cut him off, quickly gathering their food from the table. Taking Beanie’s hand, she said, "Let’s go. We’re going home."
"Okay." Beanie obediently followed Vivian Quincy, not making a fuss.
’He had been wronged many times, and he could endure it. But the one thing he couldn’t stand was watching his mommy get bullied.’
’Ford was very nice to him, but Beanie wouldn’t forgive anyone who hurt or indirectly hurt his mommy.’
’He shouldn’t go to Ford’s house anymore.’
Jasper Ford watched the two of them walk away, his emotions a tangled mess. He said sharply, "Caden, find out exactly who laid a hand on Vivian Quincy tonight!"
"Yes, sir." Caden Chandler withdrew.
Jasper Ford knew where Vivian Quincy lived, and he knew it was a long way from here. ’How long would it take her to walk back?’
He strode forward and snatched the bag of fried chicken from Vivian Quincy’s hand. "Get in the car."
Vivian Quincy shot Jasper Ford an indifferent glance and scoffed, "Don’t you hate me more than anyone, President? Why are you helping me?"
"Not getting in? Fine. Beanie, come with me." Jasper Ford turned to take Beanie’s hand.
Beanie clung to Vivian Quincy’s hand and said, "I’m staying with her."
So stubborn!
The two of them, big and small, were perfectly united in treating Jasper Ford like he was thin air.
He didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but... the sight of the red mark on Vivian Quincy’s face unsettled him. With one arm, he lifted Beanie, and with the other, he authoritatively grabbed Vivian Quincy’s wrist and marched towards the car.
Vivian Quincy tried to resist, but it was too late. After shoving Beanie inside, Jasper Ford pushed her into the car as well, locked the doors, and got in himself.
On the way to Vivian Quincy’s home, Jasper Ford received a call from Caden Chandler. "Fiona Hughes went looking for Anna and beat her."
Jasper Ford now understood. "I see."
After hanging up, Jasper Ford glanced at Vivian Quincy in the mirror and said, "I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
"What explanation?" Vivian Quincy gave a soft laugh. "Can you let me leave your company?"
The man’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. "Impossible."
"Then what kind of explanation are you talking about?" All Vivian Quincy wanted was to protect Beanie. As long as she worked at Imperium Group, Beanie was in danger.
’And all this danger was because of Jasper Ford!’
The car stopped outside Vivian Quincy’s apartment building. Jasper Ford pulled the handbrake and asked, "How much money do you want?"
"Jasper Ford, do you really think money is all I care about?" Vivian Quincy sneered. "If I only cared about money, I would have accepted Jeremy King’s offer long ago. I just want to do my job, finish what I set out to do, and be left alone."
Jasper Ford said in a low voice, "I’ll grant you one request. Anything except leaving the company."
Vivian Quincy turned her face away. ’What was a promise from Jasper Ford even worth? To put it bluntly, he was just unwilling to punish his beautiful fiancée and future mother-in-law!’
She opened the car door, pulling Beanie out with her.
