A Heaven-sent Sweet Child Falls Asking for Hugs-Chapter 164: Vivian Quincy Is in My Arms

Only by leaving could Vivian Quincy escape all of this.

She no longer wanted to search for Beanie’s father. A man like Jeremy King was truly not someone she could rely on.

Vivian Quincy’s only thought now was to take Beanie and leave Crestfall. That way, Mrs. King and Wanda Quincy wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.

If they stayed any longer, Vivian found it hard to guarantee Beanie’s safety.

But when Jasper Ford heard her words, the corners of his thin lips curled up, and he uttered two cold words: "You can’t."

"Why?" Vivian shot back, agitated.

Jasper Ford said, "Because I’ve taken an interest in you."

A series of question marks popped up in Vivian’s mind.

’He’s taken an interest in me? How is that possible?’

’Jasper Ford has to be joking!’

Vivian didn’t believe it. She shook her head and said firmly, "I don’t believe you. How could you possibly be interested in me? I’m not particularly beautiful, and my figure isn’t that great. I’m just an ordinary person. How could you..."

"I’m not letting you go," the man repeated, ignoring her words.

Vivian took a deep breath, stood up, and walked over to turn on the light. Only then could she finally see the expression in Jasper Ford’s eyes clearly. To her surprise, he wasn’t joking at all. He looked completely serious.

The girl bit her lip and said earnestly, "Then when will you let me go? You can pick anyone from the secretarial department to replace me. Every single person in there is exceptionally competent. There’s no need to keep me."

"Vivian Quincy, do you not understand plain English?" Jasper Ford retorted, tossing the extinguished cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Vivian pouted, looking down pitifully. "You can’t just keep me trapped here forever. I have to leave sooner or later."

"And what if I say I can?" Jasper Ford shot back with a laugh.

Vivian was stunned, her eyes flying wide open. ’No way. I’m just an unremarkable working girl. What could Jasper Ford possibly like about me?’

"I don’t care. You forced me to say so much today, so you have to give me an answer. When on earth will you be willing to let me go?"

"When you’re dead," Jasper Ford said coolly. Seeing that Vivian was about to erupt in anger, he added, "Or possibly..."

"Possibly when?" Vivian asked quickly.

Jasper Ford smiled, his inscrutable gaze landing on Vivian Quincy.

Vivian was so frightened she shivered, instinctively clutching her clothes. She warned in a trembling voice, "Stop looking at me like that. I’ll get angry too."

"Why are you covering yourself up so tightly? It’s not like I’m going to do anything to you," Jasper Ford chuckled.

Vivian retorted, "Your actions just now told me you want to do everything to me."

"Forget it." He looked away disdainfully, stood up, and took off his jacket right in front of her.

’He’s a grown man, and he’s doing this in front of a girl... Does he have no shame?!’

’I’m so mad.’

Just as Vivian was about to protest, Jasper Ford suddenly turned back around. She got a full view of his abs, his chest, everything. ’What is happening?’ she wondered.

"Jasper Ford, can you stop being such a pervert?" Vivian couldn’t help but say.

The man chuckled and walked over.

The girl backed away in fear, but he still caught her in a sudden embrace. Her face instantly flushed crimson with shame and anger. "What are you doing?"

"Right here, is there something?" he pressed, pointing to the location of the birthmark.

Vivian thought, ’Isn’t this just my chest? What could there be?’

"Move your hand," Vivian said angrily.

Jasper Ford: "Is there something or not?"

"No." She shook her head.

"Fine." Jasper Ford didn’t press the matter further.

For some reason, Vivian felt he looked a little dejected. She had no idea why such an absurd thought would cross her mind. She watched his departing back with a complicated expression, then turned to leave herself.

"Stay right here and behave until I get out of the bathroom. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences," Jasper Ford suddenly warned.

Vivian, who was already prepared to bolt, froze in her tracks. She looked up, her big, beautiful eyes wide, "What am I still doing here?"

"Keep me company," Jasper Ford said with a straight face, completely shameless.

Vivian was incensed. "I refuse."

"Do I need your permission?" the man retorted.

Vivian was rendered speechless. ’How can someone be so unreasonable!’

"If I leave today, what can you do to me?" she challenged defiantly.

Jasper Ford pondered for a moment, then casually tapped his finger in the air toward the space between her eyebrows. "Make you mine."

"You..."

Before Vivian could finish, Jasper Ford had already turned around, languidly presenting her with the arrogant, untouchable back of a king. He walked away, his steps light, almost brazen.

"Try me, if you don’t believe it."

Vivian instantly didn’t dare to move. She couldn’t help but curse him in her head.

’This demon is simply too much.’

’Sob, what do I do? I want to get out of here. I don’t want to stay in this wretched place at all. I want to leave.’

But Vivian truly didn’t dare.

She didn’t dare to defy Jasper Ford’s words. After several heated arguments, Vivian had concluded that Jasper Ford was a major pervert with an extremely strong possessive streak. He liked everyone to obey him, and if anyone dared to defy him, he would retaliate—severely.

Vivian couldn’t withstand retaliation from any wealthy person, and she knew very well that she couldn’t afford to offend Jasper Ford.

Right now, she was still Jasper Ford’s personal assistant. She spent nearly all her work hours dealing with him. It would be all too easy for him to torment her.

Once she was entangled with Jasper Ford, Vivian definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.

She would become a tool for him to use as he pleased.

Perhaps some people would be happy with that, but Vivian didn’t want it at all.

She opened her phone, only to find many missed calls. Several were from Wanda Quincy and Fiona Hughes, some were from Anna and Beanie, and the rest were from Hayden Kaye.

Remembering the promise she had made to Madam Ford today, Vivian felt a pang of guilt for breaking it. She called Hayden Kaye back to apologize.

Hayden Kaye noticed something was off with her voice and asked, "Vivian, what’s wrong with your voice? Were you crying? Who bullied you?"

"No one bullied me. Don’t worry. It’s late, you should get some sleep." Vivian took a deep breath, trying her best to make her voice sound calm.

But Hayden Kaye wasn’t an idiot. Having known Vivian for so many years, he could tell instantly if something was wrong. He asked directly, "Where are you? I’ll come find you."

"There’s no need. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. We can talk after you’re better," Vivian refused.

Hayden Kaye was still worried. "You’re at home, right? I’m coming over now."

"I’m not at home, don’t come over," Vivian quickly stopped him.

Hayden Kaye: "Then tell me, where are you!"

"I..." Just as Vivian was about to answer, the phone was snatched from her hand.

Vivian looked in shock at the man who had emerged from the bathroom at some point. ’Wasn’t he taking a shower? How did he get out so quickly?’

Afraid that Jasper Ford would say something shocking, Vivian lowered her voice to warn him, "Don’t you dare say anything ridiculous."

"What are you so afraid of? Worried your man on the side will find out?" Jasper Ford humiliated her.

Vivian clenched her fists, suppressing her anger. "It’s none of your business. Give me back my phone."

Jasper Ford completely ignored Vivian. He glanced at the name on the phone, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "She’s in my arms."
