When he sent her to Zephyr Group, Benjamin Rivers had told her to find ways to get as close as she could to Gabriel.

However, this man’s temperament was hard to guess. When he was ruthless, he was almost inhuman. Such a man was not someone she could control.

Seeing the glimmer in her eyes, a glint flashed across his dark pupils. “What are you afraid of?”

His deep eyes were like a ball of ink that couldn’t be dyed any other color. They were so dark that they couldn’t be seen through, but it was also like a one-way mirror where he could see through everything else, making her subconsciously swallow her saliva. “No, it’s just that your identity… It’s not good to send me back.”

Gabriel laughed lightly which carried a hint of coldness as he pulled her out of the car.

Serenity was shocked by his sudden action. Before she could react, she heard the car door slam shut and the man drove away.

Lunatic!

Did she piss him off?

After a few seconds, she let out a tragic scream. Her bag was still in his car, and her phone and wallet were inside!

How could she take a taxi without money?

Did she have to walk back?

With her injured foot, it would take her half an hour to drive from the city hospital to the Rivers residence.

Walk? What a joke.

She raised her fair palm to cover her forehead and looked up at the blazing sun. She would get a heatstroke if she was exposed to this sun.

A gorgeous Rolls-Royce screeched to a stop in front of her and a wave of hot air sprayed directly onto her legs from under the tires.

The car window rolled down, revealing Calvin Gilbert’s flashy face. He winked at her. “Beauty, where are you going? Do you need-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Serenity opened the door to the front passenger seat and sat inside. Her actions were done smoothly in one go as she said, “Please send me home.”

Calvin Gilbert stared at her with his mouth agape. Seeing that she did not look too good, he leaned over and took a closer look. “Who offended you?”

The two were too close to each other so when she suddenly turned her head, her lips brushed past Calvin Gilbert’s face. Calvin covered half of his face and shrank back in fear. He then pointed at her and stuttered as he said, “Yo-Yo-You… You harassed me!”

It was over. If John knew about this, he would definitely fight him to the death.

It was just a light touch and Serenity was still in a fit of anger so she did not feel anything at all. When she heard what he said, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Harass?

He, a man, said that she harassed him?

There was no such thing as justice in this world.

She couldn’t help but laugh. “Why is Mr. Gilbert exclaiming like like a fair maiden?”

Calvin Gilbert regained his composure as he stroked his hair and said, “What a joke. I’ve always lived among thousands of flowers and never touched a single leaf. I’m just afraid of John…”

He suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and quickly shut his mouth. He glanced at Serenity’s expression and saw that she had not reacted. He heaved a sigh of relief and was about to change the topic when she suddenly said, “Have you forgotten? He’s my brother-in-law now. The man I’ve loved for more than ten years has finally become my brother-in-law…”

As she spoke, her voice gradually became softer. She was almost muttering to herself in self-mockery.

Calvin Gilbert saw that her eyes had turned red and immediately panicked. He pulled out a few tissues and handed them to her. Cleverly reading the situation, he said, “He never wanted to hurt you. You have to believe him. You’re so kind. How could you misunderstand him?”

John loved her so much that he would do anything for her; he would even break his bones for her.

In this world, Calvin was probably the only one who knew what John had gone through..
