Thinking about it, Serena Sterling said to the others, "Let’s take a break first." She would handle the other matters herself. The others were also quite tired, so they each said their goodbyes. When Serena got back to the rented house, it was already very late. Worried she might not wake up the next day and couldn’t take Seraphina to school, she set multiple alarms for herself. Only then did she drift into a deep sleep. Jasper Ford avoided the eldest and Alexander Ford, and told Old Master Ford about Serena’s plan. Old Master Ford didn’t directly say whether it was good or bad, he just carefully scrutinized his third grandson from top to bottom. Jasper Ford felt a bit uneasy under the gaze. "Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that?" Jasper Ford said nervously, "Is something wrong?" Percival Ford sat properly, his expression quite complicated. Jasper Ford felt even more anxious. Is this a bad sign or what? Old Master truly knows how to keep someone in suspense. "I really can’t understand why she chose you." Percival Ford shook his head, looking at Jasper Ford from head to toe, and said, "You look decent enough, but with such a hot temper, and you’re not better than your two brothers, you do things with your backside leading your head, why would she choose you?" Jasper Ford was really... He’s not just decent-looking, he is very handsome, okay! His father loves beautiful women, so his genes are quite good. He’s had plenty of gossip with female stars in the entertainment industry, previously even rated the top handsome eligible bachelor! Plus, after spending some time with Serena, he had already learned to control his temper a lot. But this was his grandpa, he didn’t dare speak out of turn. Jasper Ford felt extremely wronged. Percival Ford saw through his third grandson’s thoughts immediately, snorted. Jasper Ford’s head hung lower: "Grandpa..." Percival Ford took a long deep breath and said earnestly, "You’d better think, why she chose you." Percival Ford said, "She has strong abilities, plans ingeniously, and can find a way to counterattack even in a desperate situation within a very short time. This series of operations is amazing. If it weren’t for her wanting to divorce Julian Lawson now and the cooling-off period tying her down from revealing her identity, Vera Hansen wouldn’t stand a chance." "And from what I see, she has no interest in fighting with Vera Hansen, she has her own course of action." Percival Ford earnestly guided him: "Jasper, you’re her friend now, but what if she were your enemy, wouldn’t you be afraid?" "During the last charity gala, her performance was dazzling. This time too. It’s not by chance, it’s her skills." "With her own capabilities, she can handle everything calmly, so why did she choose you?" Jasper Ford didn’t expect his grandpa would ask these questions. To be honest, he had never thought about these issues. It seemed so natural that Serena chose him, then they fought side by side. "Grandpa..." Jasper Ford thought about it, and finally said, "Maybe because she used to sell songs under an alias with me? And since we’re friends, and there happened to be this program?" Percival Ford was so angry he picked up the cane beside him and knocked Jasper Ford on the head. "Grandpa! That hurts!" Jasper Ford cried out aggrievedly. Percival Ford was speechless and said, "What’s this about selling songs under an alias?" So Jasper Ford talked about how he regrettably got Serena an alias "Yan" to sell songs when she left the circle. "It didn’t really make much money," Jasper Ford mumbled, "She was Julian Lawson’s wife at the time, and Julian Lawson was very generous to her, shouldn’t be about a few bucks." Percival Ford gave Jasper Ford a sideways glance. "I thought you had grown some brains, but it seems you haven’t." Percival Ford looked at the defiant Jasper Ford and said, "I think I know the reason, she values feelings." It seemed he thought of something, Percival Ford said, "Previously she had been working hard beside Julian Lawson for many years, perhaps because she values feelings." "It’s a pity..." Percival Ford shook his head. "What’s the pity there?" Jasper Ford said, "Isn’t it good?" Percival Ford just gave Jasper Ford a deep look, did not answer. "I think I figured out one of your strengths." Percival Ford changed the subject, "Sincerity." He’s implying I’m dumb... Says what comes to mind. Mainly, he couldn’t endure even a bit with his temper. But recently he has started becoming clever! "Tomorrow morning at 7, representatives of the various investment parties will be over here. See how you handle it then." Percival Ford dropped this sentence and went to sleep. "Wait, Grandpa, did I pass the test?" Jasper Ford shouted. Percival Ford didn’t bother to acknowledge him. Could he still speak so casually if he hadn’t passed? Serena Sterling woke up right on time. The source of this content ɪs NoveI★Fire.net Due to a lack of sleep, her head was a bit foggy, she barely managed to control her body to wash up. She quickly washed, tidied, changed clothes, grabbed a cup of coffee, and drove to pick up Seraphina to school. While waiting at a red light, Serena checked her phone for messages. It was already 7:30 in the morning, she checked the group messages. Since the others went to sleep, Jasper Ford’s side was unclear, leaving only last night’s message—"I settled grandpa." She figured, maybe the 7 a.m. meeting hadn’t ended yet. Jasper Ford mentioned Old Master Ford’s view the night before. Serena immediately understood, scheduling it at 7 a.m. was Old Master Ford’s concern that his grandson couldn’t handle it quickly, giving him overnight to buffer. Scheduling at 7 was also to provide results before major investment firms formally started work. Just thinking about it, an update from Jasper Ford came in. Before Serena could reply, Jasper Ford sent another message. "Just... didn’t use that reason." Serena slightly frowned, what’s that about? She messaged Jasper Ford, asking if he could talk. Jasper Ford called immediately after receiving it. Serena put on the headphones. "Jasper, what’s going on?" Serena asked curiously. Could it be that the investors didn’t accept that reason? Then Jasper Ford used some other method to suppress the situation? She couldn’t figure it out. "A couple of words can’t explain it clearly, investors are still here, I need to calm things down, see you later in our company." Jasper Ford hurriedly called, then quickly hung up. Leaving Serena very puzzled. At that moment, the red light turned green, Serena started driving. With the car smoothly on the road, Serena told herself not to overthink, focus on sending Seraphina to kindergarten first. Thinking about it, Serena turned on the car radio, hoping to listen to some music to clear her mind. The radio host was announcing: "Good day to all listeners, today is..." Serena checked the date. Today was the 28th day of the divorce cooling-off period.
