Serenity sat on the windowsill dispiritedly, her head leaning against the glass window. The sound of conversation could still be heard from the living room downstairs.
She hugged her knees, feeling so lonely as if she had been abandoned by the whole world as she gazed outside the window with eyes filled with helplessness.
After some time, the living room downstairs finally fell silent. Then, a while after that, Mrs. Walter came upstairs to call her for dinner. Serenity changed into a set of home clothes and went downstairs.
At the dining table, Benjamin Rivers sat with a relatively ominous misty aura around him. “President Fulton said that he would bring you to meet his child in a few days. If that child doesn’t reject you, your marriage will be set.”
Helena Turner looked worried as she said, “Benjamin, that man is divorced. Even if Rivers Group needs funds, you can’t push the child into the fire pit.”
However, Benjamin remained adamant. “Although President Fulton is a divorcee, he was not at fault in that marriage. It was his ex-wife who cheated on him with her boyfriend.”
The frown did not leave Helena’s face. “But he’s quite old, twelve years Serene’s senior.”
Benjamin did not think that the difference in their ages would be an issue. “Men tend to dote on those younger than them the older they get. Besides, President Fulton also said that he likes Serene very much and will definitely treat her well after they get married.”
Serenity remained silent the entire conversation, eating quietly as if they were talking about someone else.
Helena looked over at her gentle and quiet daughter, and let out a light sigh. Then, Helena took a piece of Serenity’s favorite dish and placed it in her daughter’s bowl.
After the meal, Serenity accompanied Helena Turner to watch television for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Serenity planned to return to her room to rest. Upon reaching her room, she took her pajamas and was about to enter the bathroom when her phone rang.
When she saw that it was Sam, she was about to pick up and tease him for thinking of her so late at night, but she did not expect to hear him scream in horror as soon as the call was connected. “Serene, save me!”
There was a clamor and then a fierce voice echoed in the background. “What are you talking about? Just cripple him!”
Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly shouted into the phone. “Sam, what happened? Where are you?”
“Golden Sands Bay…”
*Beep, beep, beep*
He only managed to say three words before the call was cut off.
The situation on the other side seemed quite bad. Moreover, when she heard the cruel words from an unknown voice, Serenity immediately broke out in cold sweat.
Her heart was beating rapidly as she quickly dialed Calvin Gilbert’s number. “Lend me your Golden Sands Bay membership. This is urgent and I won’t take no for an answer.”
Calvin was playing chess with his father when he answered her call. As soon as the call was connected, he was shocked by her unyielding aura. He gave a quick glance at his father before excusing himself from the table. Once he was on the balcony, Calvin put the phone back to his ear. “Girl, what’s your problem?”
“A life is at stake. Hurry up and send it over. I’ll meet you at the entrance of Golden Sands Bay.”
Without waiting for Calvin Gilbert to speak, she hung up the phone, picked up her bag, and rushed down the stairs.
Helenat heard the hurried footsteps and turned around only to see her daughter hurrying out the door. Confused, Helena said, “But it’s already so late at night.”
While changing her shoes, Serenity quickly said, “Something happened to a friend. I have to help him.”
And with that, Serenity left in anxiety. Helena shouted after her.. “Come back early!”
