Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 402: Choose Between Me and Her

Gigi Sutton took the box and opened it directly. The gemstone glistened under the light, and the pair of gemstone cat ear pendants were indeed very cute.

"Do you like it?" Jasper Ford asked with a smile.

The one giving the gift always hopes to hear compliments from the other party, and it’s more so for Jasper Ford.

But Gigi Sutton didn’t speak immediately. She just glanced at Jasper Ford and asked, "Jasper, are you close with the Hawthorne Group?"

Meanwhile, someone came to serve tea, and Jasper Ford took a sip.

"Yeah," Jasper Ford nodded, "You also know the situation with the Ford Family. I told you before, the Hawthorne Family supports me."

Of course, his main contact there was Orion Hawthorne.

And honestly, Jasper Ford found that he and Orion Hawthorne got along quite well.

"Ford Entertainment works well with Hawthorne Group’s gemstone and luxury business. Some endorsements can be exchanged with them, and the jewelry that artists usually use is also provided by Hawthorne Group, as well as other complementary resources," Jasper Ford said.

He and Gigi Sutton had been in contact for a while, and although it wasn’t very intense, they had a mutual affection for each other and enjoyed spending time together. So unless it was something he couldn’t talk about, he was willing to tell Gigi Sutton.

On the one hand, he was straightforward.

On the other hand, he also wanted Gigi Sutton to know more about him.

Gigi Sutton nodded and took a sip of tea.

"Isn’t Ford Entertainment an entertainment company?" Gigi Sutton asked, "Jasper, how come I heard you’re getting into investment recently."

Jasper Ford laughed and scratched his head.

"Gigi, I’m happy when you mention this," Jasper Ford said, "This time, I can make money and disgrace the top two. You don’t even know how happy I’ve been these days seeing their sour faces, hahaha!"

"Is that all that makes you happy?" Gigi Sutton asked directly, "Aren’t you happy because of Serena?"

Jasper Ford glanced at Gigi Sutton. He thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, I’m also happy because I hugged Serena’s leg."

"Was this bought specifically for me, or did you grab it when you met Serena?" Gigi Sutton pointed at the jewelry box.

At this point, Jasper Ford stopped smiling.

"I haven’t met Serena today. Orion Hawthorne took me to see a big orange, and I saw this," Jasper Ford said, "You came to mind first, and I thought this pendant would look cute with your Hermes bag."

He had bought that bag for her.

Gigi Sutton looked into Jasper Ford’s eyes.

So he hasn’t met Serena yet, but does that mean he plans to meet her?

Gigi Sutton felt unhappy.

"I’ve heard rumors about you and Serena everywhere. Do you like her?" Gigi Sutton asked.

Jasper Ford nodded frankly.

"Yes, I liked her." He said, "There’s nothing to hide, but she was never interested in me. It was Julian before, and now she’s going to marry Silas Hawthorne. Gigi, don’t overthink, Serena and I are just business partners."

"Really?" Gigi Sutton’s lips were tightly pursed, looking very angry, "But why did I hear that last time at Aether, when Serena sent a text, you didn’t even ask questions, just gave money and manpower?"

Jasper Ford smiled, a bit helpless. Was she jealous?

Kind of cute.

Haha.

"Don’t be upset," Jasper Ford said with a smile, "Because Serena is the big shot, Gigi. The reason I could find my foothold and have some say is because I collaborated with Serena on ’Heavenly Sound.’

"Serena can help me make money and stabilize my position in the Ford Family. Of course, I cling to her."

"Besides, Silas Hawthorne is not someone to mess with; how would I dare to provoke him?"

Jasper Ford explained.

It’s foolish not to make money, isn’t it?

"Gigi, my feelings for you are genuine," Jasper Ford stated solemnly, "I met you after letting go of my feelings for Serena."

But Gigi Sutton was still angry. To her, all she heard from Jasper Ford’s explanation was Serena, Serena, Serena.

How Serena was so good, how Serena helped him, he was always defending Serena!

"And I heard you collaborated with the Hawthorne Group because of Serena?" Gigi Sutton interrogated.

"There is indeed a reason related to Serena," Jasper Ford said, "You know that originally Silas Hawthorne wouldn’t have even bothered with me. With this connection, the Hawthorne Family decided to support me."

"Serena, Serena, always Serena!" Gigi Sutton became even angrier, "Isn’t there something you can do that doesn’t involve Serena!"

Jasper Ford looked at Gigi Sutton and scratched his head helplessly.

To be honest, he could completely understand why Gigi Sutton was angry.

But he really had let go of his feelings for Serena.

Bianca Lynch had once told him that if he was still thinking about Serena while being with other women, it was unfair to the other women.

He himself understood this too.

He had always been sincere with Gigi Sutton.

But Serena was the big shot.

How could he not cling to the big shot?

Wouldn’t that be foolish?

And without Serena and Hawthorne Group’s support, how could he survive the infighting in the Ford Family?

By that time, he’d be completely crushed.

Thinking it over, Jasper Ford organized his words.

"Gigi, you’re my girlfriend," Jasper Ford said, "Serena is just a money-making machine for me."

Apologies, Serena, to appease my girlfriend, I have to put you down for a moment.

Jasper Ford couldn’t help but think, before speaking out, "Just think of her as a robot. Would you fall in love with a counting machine or an ATM?"

Saying this, Jasper Ford continued to coax, "Serena earns money for us. She earns it for us to spend."

But Gigi Sutton’s anger still hadn’t subsided.

In her view, Jasper Ford was just defending Serena.

"Alright." Gigi Sutton said, "Between me and Serena, pick one."

Without hesitation, Jasper Ford said, "Of course, I pick you, Gigi! You’re my girlfriend!"

"Well then." Gigi Sutton nodded, "In the future, you’re not allowed to meet or contact her!"

This...

This put Jasper Ford in a difficult position.

He was planning to take Gigi Sutton to see Serena tonight!

"Gigi, the Sutton Family does business too," Jasper Ford explained, "You also have work on your hands, meeting and contacting partners is unavoidable."

"I can promise you anything now, but I don’t want to lie to you. I can’t fulfill your request." Jasper Ford said.

"Please don’t be angry, okay?" Jasper Ford said with a smile, "I know you care. There’s a dinner party at Aether tonight, and Serena will be there too. Will you come with me? Watch me, I promise to make my dear girlfriend satisfied!"

But an angry Gigi Sutton wouldn’t listen.

"Sure, if it wasn’t for me asking, if I wasn’t upset, you’d secretly meet her tonight!" Gigi Sutton said angrily.

Jasper Ford had a headache.

"No..." Jasper Ford held his head, "It’s an Aether dinner. You know it’s about discussing the Aether investment."

Jasper Ford considered her as a confidante, so he wanted to bring her along.

When it came to things like Aether, he always kept the real information to himself, only revealing it to trusted insiders.

Besides, he didn’t just decide to take her now; he wanted to invite Gigi Sutton since they arrived. They hadn’t sat down for long before the topic shifted to Serena.
