âNo, Iâm just stating facts.â Gabriel was calm, unreactive to his fatherâs explosive anger. After a pause, Gabriel unhurriedly continued to say, âYou should know that if 1 donât respect you, I can just hold a press conference with her and publicly announce her identity as the young madam of the Jones family first. And there will be nothing you can do about it.â
âYouâ¦â The expression on Keith Jonesâs face was so dark that it could only be described as the bottom of a pot. âIâve investigated that woman. Although she went abroad to study, her grades were terrible and she almost couldnât graduate. Her family background is also average. What can she help you with?â
Gabriel remained calm and said, âI believe Iâm a sufficiently capable man. I have everything. So what else is there for Serenity to do than simply be my wife, Young Madam Jones? 1 donât need to rely on women for my career.â
âIf you only married her because of the child, you could have let her give birth to the child, and then-â
âDad.â Gabriel interrupted him. His deep eyes were like a dark lake, serious and calm. â1 want it all.â
âYou never discussed the marriage with me or your mother. I donât agree with it.â
In the game room.
Serenity was already struggling with the game. She had to think carefully about every card she played as if Madam Eaton was deliberately going against her, always taking advantage of her cards.
Linda eagerly brewed tea for them and placed a small plate of cut fruit with toothpicks on it. She would also immediately fill up the teacups of those who had emptied theirs.
âMiss Sawyer is indeed virtuous.â Madam Eaton did not hesitate to shower Linda with praises.
Linda smiled faintly. âCompared to Auntie, this is nothing. Auntie is dignified and beautiful. Your daughter must have inherited your character and looks.â
Lindaâs words successfully pleased Madam Eaton who smiled from ear to ear. She glanced at Serenity and said, âThe Young Madam of the Jones family should be as dignified and gentle as Miss Sawyer.â
Although Serenity was thinking about which card she should play, she was also listening to their conversation. When she heard Madam Eatonâs words, she looked at her and gently said, âHave you forgotten, Madam Eaton? My surname is Rivers. Donât remember it wrongly again. If others hear it, you might just make a fool of yourself.â
Serenity was a Rivers, now a Sawyer.
And her words were not only directed at Madam Eaton but also at Linda.
Although Sulia Silver had taken her in as her goddaughter, this was a matter among the Jones family. It was only natural for relatives of the Jones family to be involved. Why would a goddaughter with a different surname be involved?
Her words not only affected Madam Eaton, but even the smile on Lindaâs face faded.
Sulia looked at Serenity, thinking how smart and sharp a tongue this young lady had. Unfortunately, her family background was a little lacking.
âIs the child healthy?â asked she.
Too many things had happened recently so Serenity had forgotten about updates on the child she was carrying. She pursed her lips and said, âIâm going for a prenatal checkup in a few days.â
âI won,â said Madam Barlowe happily as she spread out the cards in front of her. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Serenityâs handbag was on the sofa in the living room. She had lost all the money she had just taken so she stood up and wanted to go to the living room to get it. Then, she felt a manâs strong hand on her shoulder, stopping her from getting up. She did not know how long he had stood behind her.
âMy dear aunt,â said Gabriel slowly in a deep voice. âIâm sure you knew that Serenity is not good at cards.. How can you bully her when Iâm not around?â
