A Heaven-sent Sweet Child Falls Asking for Hugs-Chapter 37: Why Are You Here?

The car drove slowly, winding through streets and alleys before entering a gated community of villas.

Vivian Quincy noticed the place looked familiar. Thinking back, she realized—wasn’t this Wanda Quincy’s residence? Vivian had been here before when she was looking for Beanie.

A hint of nervousness suddenly appeared on her beautiful face. She clutched her purse and asked Jasper Ford, "Where are we going?"

"Wanda Quincy’s house," Jasper Ford replied, his expression cold.

’So it really is her house!’

Vivian Quincy bit her lip, suddenly regretting that she had taken Jasper Ford’s money. She had no desire to show up at Wanda Quincy’s home. "Can I give this money back to you?" she asked. "I don’t feel well. I want to go home."

"You look perfectly fine to me," Jasper Ford said with a slight laugh.

As they spoke, the car had already driven into the residence’s inner courtyard. It was too late for Vivian Quincy to leave now.

Many people were gathered in the courtyard, including Wanda Quincy. She wore a black evening gown and heavy, exquisite makeup, styled to look mature and dignified. She was speaking to her friends. "Jasper will be here soon, so all of you better watch what you say."

A woman laughed and said, "We know. The great President of Imperium Group isn’t someone that we small-time business owners can compare to. We’ll be on our best behavior when he arrives and won’t embarrass you."

The words had barely been spoken when a woman who had a business partnership with Wanda Quincy couldn’t help but mock, "If I’m not mistaken, President Ford broke things off with President Quincy a few days ago. You say Jasper Ford is coming, but is that even possible?"

Her words served as a reminder to everyone, and all eyes turned to Wanda Quincy.

The color drained from Wanda Quincy’s face slightly. Just as she was about to retort, she saw a black Bentley slowly pull into the front courtyard. Wanda Quincy recognized it instantly—it was Jasper Ford’s car!

She shot them a smug smile and turned back, saying arrogantly, "Who said calling off the engagement means I was rejected? That day was just someone playing a prank. I’ve already cleared things up with Jasper Ford. It’s only a matter of time before I become Young Madam Ford."

Those who had been waiting to see Wanda Quincy make a fool of herself suddenly fell silent. With complicated expressions, they watched the Bentley as it came to a smooth stop. They saw Caden Chandler get out first, walk respectfully to the rear passenger door, bow, and open it!

"Oh my god, it’s Caden Chandler! It really must be Jasper Ford!"

"He actually came! President Quincy, you’re amazing. Even after that whole mess, Jasper Ford still made time to personally attend your party. He must treat you very well!"

"I’d say President Quincy already has Jasper Ford wrapped around her little finger!"

Her friends hadn’t expected Jasper Ford to actually show up. They now felt that Wanda Quincy’s position as Young Madam of the Ford Family was secure. They began to lavish her with praise, their tone much friendlier than before, now laced with fawning and flattery.

Wanda Quincy savored their flattery. A smug smile touched her lips as she said with feigned arrogance, "Jasper Ford and I are truly in love, so isn’t it perfectly normal for him to be here? Now, if you’ll excuse me."

Everyone burst out laughing. "He hasn’t even gotten out of the car, and President Quincy is already this eager. It must be true love."

"I was hoping that since President Ford was single again, he might notice me. Guess that hope is gone."

"If I’d known I was just coming here to be the third wheel, I wouldn’t have bothered showing up."

The women couldn’t help but grumble, and the more disappointed they sounded, the happier Wanda Quincy felt.

She was a smart woman. How could she not see that these "friends" of hers were interested in Jasper Ford?

A man so blessed by fortune, so high and mighty—any woman who laid eyes on Jasper Ford would fall hopelessly in love with him!

These "good friends" of hers would often joke around, telling her to break up with him. ’But they’re just jealous I found such an incredible man,’ she thought. ’They’re doing it on purpose!’

And then there were the clients who did business with her to her face but tried to seduce Jasper Ford behind her back. Wanda Quincy knew exactly what they were all thinking.

She had deliberately invited all of them here today for one reason: to show everyone that Jasper Ford was her man!

Wanda Quincy ran smugly toward the car, a sweet smile on her face. But when she saw the person who stepped out, she froze completely.

Wanda Quincy stared in disbelief at the young woman in the black-and-white uniform. The smile froze on her face as she looked at Vivian Quincy incredulously. "How could you... Jasper, you’re here!"

Wanda Quincy had been on the verge of confronting Vivian Quincy, but when she saw Jasper Ford step out of the car, she quickly swallowed the words and ran to his side instead.

Jasper Ford gave a quiet "Mm."

Wanda Quincy smiled and said, "My friends are all waiting over there. This way, please."

Jasper Ford followed. His powerful presence instantly overshadowed everyone else, like a lofty emperor. His aura was absolutely stunning.

"Oh my god, this is my first time seeing Jasper Ford in person. He’s so handsome!"

"He’s so tall! And his skin is perfect. His whole vibe is just... wow!"

"Wanda Quincy is so lucky! A man like that is the total package, isn’t he?"

Gasps rippled through the crowd, everyone stunned by the sight of Jasper Ford in the flesh.

Wanda Quincy heard all the comments. She walked over with a smile and made the introduction. "This is President Ford of Imperium Group."

"Hello, everyone," Jasper Ford said politely. His deep voice was magnetic and pleasant.

A few of the women were mesmerized. "President Ford’s voice is amazing."

"And he’s gorgeous!"

Jasper Ford’s handsome face darkened.

Noticing his anger, Wanda Quincy shot a fierce glare at the women who had spoken out of turn, her eyes filled with a clear warning.

Frightened, the two women immediately fell silent.

Only then did the hard expression on Jasper Ford’s face soften slightly.

"Jasper, you came all this way, you must not have had dinner yet. My mother prepared all your favorite dishes. Please, come inside the house with me."

Wanda Quincy happily reached for Jasper Ford’s hand, but he sidestepped her before she could even touch his sleeve.

Wanda Quincy didn’t seem to mind. She walked ahead, as happy as a child who had just been given a piece of candy.

Vivian Quincy and Caden Chandler had been following behind Jasper Ford the entire time. Vivian couldn’t help but lean in and whisper to Caden, "Can I step outside for a moment?"

Caden Chandler was surprised. "For what?"

"To make a phone call," Vivian Quincy whispered.

Just as Caden was about to nod, Jasper Ford, who was walking ahead of them, turned his head. "Come inside with the rest of us," he said coldly.

"President Ford... I... have something to do," Vivian Quincy said, hesitating.

Jasper Ford shot her an icy glare, his gaze terrifyingly sharp.

Vivian Quincy bit her lip and glanced thoughtfully at Wanda Quincy, who was standing beside Jasper Ford. At that exact moment, Wanda was also staring at her, her gaze venomous.

Vivian Quincy knew what that look meant, which was why she wanted nothing to do with going inside. This was especially true since Fiona Hughes was in there as well. If a fight broke out, she had no idea how it would end.

Vivian Quincy looked at Jasper Ford pleadingly. "I don’t feel well. Can I just wait out here?"
