Selena supported him and gently said, âGrandpa, Iâm not wronged. John and 1 divorced because we didnât get along. So, this has nothing to do with Serene.â âImpossible.â Old Master Samson did not believe her. âYouâve been protecting her ever since she returned to the Rivers residence. Are you still going to continue protecting an ingrate?â
âI was the one who suggested the divorce. You can vent your anger on me. Her only mistake wasâ¦â Johnâs eyes had turned cold, ââ¦to be reincarnated into the wrong family.â
After he finished speaking, he pulled Serenity, who had fallen silent, out of the room.
Gabriel strode into the Rivers residenceâs living room. Mrs. Walter respectfully called out to him. âSecond Young Master.â He glanced around the living room but did not see Serenity. âWhere is she?â
âSerene is still in the study upstairs,â said Helena anxiously.
âHow long has it been?â asked Gabriel in a deep voice.
âAt least half an hour,â said Helena.
As soon as she finished speaking, they heard another loud sound from the study. Gabrielâs brows furrowed and he quickly walked up the stairs. When he reached the last step, he saw John dragging Serenity out of the study.
When she saw the man at the staircase, Serenity was stunned, not even hearing Old Master Samsonâs roar. She stared blankly at the man, her face looking slightly cold.
John didnât expect Gabriel to come over. After recovering from his shock, he looked at the man calmly, not letting go of Serenityâs arm as if he were trying to claim her.
Gabrielâs gaze swept over to Johnâs hand holding onto Serenityâs arm. He walked towards them with steady steps and stared at her pale face. âAre you alright?â
Serenity shook her head, pursing her lips without saying anything.
âAre you done discussing the matter?â asked Gabriel again.
She bit her lip and hid the emotions in her eyes. âItâs nothing. I just came back to confirm something.â
âThat means weâre done.â Gabrielâs silent gaze was like the dark sky. He brought her to his side and walked away with his arm around her waist. âLetâs go home.â
John looked at the backs of the couple. It was so glaring that it pierced his heart. He suddenly said, âSereneâ¦â
The couple had just reached the staircase when they heard John calling her name. Serenity turned to look at him. Her pale lips were slightly curved. âIâm fine.â
She felt the hand on her shoulder increase its grip on her. She looked up at Gabriel. The manâs expression was the same. He was still cold. She softly said, âLetâs go.â
Helena saw them coming down the stairs. She sized up Serenity from head to toe and asked with concern, âAre you hurt anywhere?â
Not wanting Helena Turner to worry, she smiled lightly and said, âIâm okay. Grandpa just broke something. He didnât hit me.â
âThatâs good.â Helena felt relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual about Serenity other than her pale face.
Serenity pursed her pale lips and looked upstairs. âGrandpa is very angry now. Mom, donât go up.â
âMomâs fine,â said Helena softly. âBesides, your sister is here. You donât have to worry.â
Serenity nodded. Every time Old Master Samson got angry, Selena would find a way to make him laugh. âWeâll go back first..â
