Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 377: Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford’s Families Trapped by 150 Million

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford’s Families Trapped by 150 Million

Isla Lawson spoke, and then instructed her staff to pack up, appearing as if she was about to leave.

On the side, Virgil Ford also put down the pen that he seemed about to sign with.

"Mr. Huxley, this is quite underhanded of you," Virgil Ford said. "Such a major issue should have been disclosed to us in advance."

"Ah... No!" Brandon Huxley immediately tried to pacify, "We’re all good; it was just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, he didn’t leave, really!"

"Do you think I would believe you?" Virgil Ford sneered, tossing down the pen, "Mr. Huxley withheld the report; I can’t sign this contract."

Although others were informed during the halftime by Isla Lawson’s people, they were skeptical. However, later on, when they had their own people investigate and learned certain things, especially seeing Brandon Huxley’s reaction and the confident demeanor of Virgil Ford and Isla Lawson, they were now certain it was true.

"Hmph! Brandon Huxley, how dare you deceive us like this!"

"Good thing we didn’t fall into your trap today, or who knows how much we would have lost!"

"You’re something, Brandon Huxley!"

They all cast grateful glances at Isla Lawson.

If Isla hadn’t had someone inform them during halftime, they might have all invested together. Wouldn’t the money they invested just go down the drain then?

"Thank God for you, Miss Lawson, thank you so much!"

"Yes, thank you, Miss Lawson."

"Miss Lawson is truly as beautiful as she is kind-hearted."

...

The entire meeting room was in uproar, and Brandon Huxley could not reveal the conversation between him and Serena Sterling, so he could only repeatedly explain that it was a misunderstanding, and that the key personnel did not leave.

Naturally, no one paid attention to him.

Brandon Huxley was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Only two people remained seated calmly in the meeting room.

They were Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford.

Even though Jasper Ford didn’t yet understand all the twists and turns, he trusted Serena Sterling.

Isla Lawson had already packed up her things.

She glanced at Serena Sterling, who was sitting there, and smiled sweetly.

"What a pity, Serena, you’ve already signed the contract, what will you do? Will you break the contract?" Isla Lawson said with a smile.

Serena Sterling smiled at her without saying a word.

[Ha, keep pretending!] Isla Lawson mocked inwardly, [I want to see how long you can last!]

Isla Lawson turned her head to look at the stressed-out Brandon Huxley and said, "Mr. Huxley, I have another piece of good news to share with you."

At this moment, Brandon Huxley was extremely annoyed with Isla Lawson. He had already seen through that Virgil Ford and Isla Lawson were in cahoots, saying they would invest but procrastinating. Then at the critical moment, they had her people expose his secret.

From the start, the two of them never intended to fund!

Brandon Huxley didn’t say a word, glaring at her in fury.

"This partner of yours," Isla Lawson said loudly so everyone could hear and then pointed at Serena Sterling, "the money in her account is all borrowed, and it has a time limit. If she can’t repay it in time, she’s in big trouble, hahaha..."

With this, Isla Lawson laughed heartily and walked out of the meeting room.

All eyes turned to Serena Sterling, but Serena was still smiling.

She didn’t say a word, showing no fear or panic, her expression remained calm.

No one could see through the expression in her eyes.

Serena Sterling didn’t speak, and beside her, Virgil Ford had already stood up. He glanced at Jasper Ford and mocked, "You stand up for a woman, acting impulsively. See, now you’re in trouble?"

He laughed, "I did warn you, little brother."

Jasper Ford responded with an eye-roll.

Virgil Ford left too.

Other onlookers cast strange glances at the two of them and, not daring to stay longer, murmured a few words before leaving.

Now, only Jasper Ford, Serena Sterling, and their people, along with Brandon Huxley, were left in the meeting room.

Brandon Huxley was a bit worried.

"Mr. Sheridan, Third Young Master, you..." He was afraid they would breach the contract.

"Rest assured," Serena Sterling said, instructing Raine to close the meeting room door.

"Hasn’t the problem been solved?" Serena Sterling said, "Ethan found out about the latest technology during his last trip to Cygnus for a conference."

She then nodded at Jasper Ford.

Serena Sterling said, "I just received the news that the transfer to a hospital in Cygnus has already happened, and the surgery will be arranged immediately."

Brandon Huxley came over and sat down dejectedly on a chair.

"I hope there will be a good outcome," Brandon Huxley said.

Serena Sterling nodded.

"Your friend will understand your intentions," Serena Sterling said. "Of course, I hope the bond between you two deepens because..."

Serena smiled, looking at Brandon Huxley, and said, "We’re all in the same boat now."

Brandon Huxley smiled and nodded, "Indeed, we’re together on this. Rest assured, our technology is solid. I, Brandon Huxley, swear that I will ensure your shares keep multiplying."

Serena Sterling extended her hand for a handshake with Brandon Huxley, which Jasper Ford joined.

"Then I’ll just wait to count the money lying down," Jasper Ford said with a smile.

"You can count them while picking your feet as well," Serena Sterling said.

"Ugh, I’m not that dirty," Jasper Ford said, disdainfully.

"Your loan..." Brandon Huxley looked at Serena Sterling with some concern.

"No problem," Serena Sterling said, reassuring him.

Then they let their people take care of the subsequent matters. Brandon Huxley mentioned wanting to treat them to a meal, but Serena Sterling suggested doing it another time as there were still things to handle.

Thus, they parted ways.

Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford left together.

They got into Serena’s car, while Raine and the people Jasper brought went in Jasper’s car.

The car hit the road.

Serena Sterling explained the course of events to Jasper Ford.

Jasper Ford’s expression increasingly twisted as he listened.

After hearing everything, Jasper Ford said in disgust, "That shameless Virgil Ford, to threaten and bully you like that!"

Serena Sterling looked at the scenery outside the window.

"We’re collaborating; it’s normal for him to try to strike at me," Serena Sterling said, then withdrew her gaze to look at Jasper Ford, "So..."

Jasper Ford also looked at Serena Sterling.

"Find something to keep him busy," Serena Sterling said with a smile. "You know what I mean."

Jasper Ford nodded, indicating that he understood.

"What about Alexander Ford? Any movements recently?" Serena Sterling asked further.

"I’m not sure. It’s been strangely quiet lately. I feel like he’s planning something big," Jasper Ford said.

After pondering, he added, "I still have evidence of him and Vera Hansen manipulating the stock market. I want to see what tricks he’s up to, and then expose this at the most crucial moment."

"Just like hitting him over the head with a club, hahaha!"

Serena Sterling smiled and nodded, feeling that Jasper Ford had grown significantly more patient now. In the past, with his fiery temper, he would have already exposed the evidence and hit Alexander Ford hard.

The car sped along the road.

Just then, a huge piece of news broke out in the financial world.
