Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure

On a regular day, with no opportunity to encounter Finn Chandler, and no reason to disparage her, now hearing that Mrs. Chambers jumped from the rooftop of the hotel where Finn Chandler was staying, one person started discussing it, and others joined in, afraid that no one would know about this. It was also a way to vent their own imbalance by undermining Finn Chandler to regain a sense of equilibrium.

"What’s wrong with these people?"

Though the voices were chaotic, the Ford Family could hear them clearly.

Fiona Ford smiled and spoke to Mr. Ford and Mrs. Ford.

It seems that heaven is lending a hand since Mrs. Chambers suddenly jumped from the hotel rooftop.

Imagining that Finn Chandler would be heartbroken and call off the wedding.

"But, how come Mrs. Chambers, who was perfectly fine, decided to jump from the rooftop?"

Although Fiona’s words sounded innocent, Mr. Ford felt uncomfortable. He was already dissatisfied with Finn Chandler, and upon receiving the news of Mrs. Chambers’ jump, he grew even more displeased with Finn Chandler.

Exactly as Fiona said, if Mrs. Chambers was fine, why would she jump from the hotel rooftop? Unless Finn Chandler did something behind the scenes, forcing Mrs. Chambers to jump.

The timing of the jump was just too perfect.

"Why gossip here!"

Seeing Finn Chandler and Julian Ford approaching, Mrs. Ford coldly reprimanded Fiona.

She immediately recognized Fiona’s attempt to sow discord.

"Fiona didn’t say anything wrong; how could Mrs. Chambers, being fine, suddenly jump from the rooftop?"

"We can’t let Julian be harmed."

Mr. Ford said discontentedly, looking up at Finn Chandler with a facade of a smile, though the distaste in his eyes grew stronger.

Mrs. Chambers is Finn Chandler’s biological mother; regardless of any grudges between them, now that Mrs. Chambers is dead, Finn Chandler didn’t show any sadness and instead came to the Ford Family to continue the wedding.

This girl’s nature is just too cold.

"Julian is not you."

Mrs. Ford retorted.

Mrs. Ford supported Finn Chandler and Julian Ford. She was neither Mr. Ford nor like the other guests. She, being a former Ford Family power holder, possessed impressive discernment and steadfastness in her heart, not swayed by others’ words.

"Have you said enough?"

Then, Mrs. Ford’s voice sounded.

Hearing her, the surrounding guests paused and then fell silent.

The silence covered a small group, and gradually, in the calm atmosphere, others also lowered their voices in discussion.

Sitting there, Mrs. Ford surveyed the surroundings, her voice resounding again.

"I heard that the Chambers Family’s lady jumped from the rooftop."

Mrs. Ford brought up the incident publicly, causing the guests to perk up, eager to hear more, wondering if Mrs. Ford intended to halt the wedding.

They looked at Finn Chandler with a mixture of ridicule and contempt in their eyes.

Fiona too, was the Ford Family that easy to enter?

Someone like Finn Chandler, Julian Ford probably just finds novel for now.

"Such an incident, the wedding should not proceed."

Before the couple entered to pay respects, Mrs. Ford spoke again, saying the wedding should not go on, leading everyone to think the Ford Family had regrets.

Mrs. Ford’s words carried significant weight within the Ford Family.

She was not like the typical noble lady, either staying home as a housewife or working at her husband’s company.

She came from an excellent background, her family’s standing twenty years ago was not inferior to the Ford Family.

Marrying Mr. Ford through a family alliance, she gained control over the Ford Corporation’s power. Over the years, who among the prominent families’ gentlemen didn’t show Mrs. Ford respect, who wasn’t intimidated by her!
